The choice of ales is ok and the jukebox is good. There is something missing though from here and I cannot put my finger on it. It lacks some astmoshpere. It's worth a pop in though.

The Borough used to be a favourite hangout for punk-rockers back in times of yore…read more Obviously punk died in 1978 and these days, apart from the presence of a few, shall we say, for want of a better word, 'characters.' It mainly only refuses to conform in the sense it hasn't became a 'fun pub' like the atypical Sunderland bar. For all it was revamped a little several years ago, where it got one of the worst paint jobs I've ever seen, which almost ruined its interior glory, and subsequently took away some of its traditionalness(?). These days: it is dirty, on certain nights you wait ages to get served and when you do - it's expensive. Nonetheless, The Borough is still about the closest you're going to get to a traditional pub in Sunderland city-centre, and for all of its flaws, it is one of the very few pubs in Sunderland these days, that possesses any sort of character or soul. Which is why it's comfortably in my top two favourite pubs It's kind of like seeing a girl who might be cool or weird - you just can't decide. You know you can go meet hotter girls who adhere to more 'conventional' standards, but you'll always come back for fucking seconds. Or maybes that's just me. Five stars.

The Borough is a quirky little pub in the centre of Sunderland and definitely worth a look in…read more You'll find a varied bunch of characters inside, from the village idiot to pensioners it seems to have it all. The jukebox is good and has a great selection of tunes, some of which you don't find in most places. Drink prices are pretty average, and they do something called a 'borough bomb' for around three fifty. Flaming absinthe and aftershock in red bull. If you order a few at once they'll do a fancy trick where they knock them all in. The bar went on fire when they did it for us.

They serve food from there set menus the food have have had here has been nice and drinks are not bad prices. They have pool tables and darts and show all the football matches on big screens so if you want a quiet drink i would stay away on match days as it gets packed out with supporters and you will be lucky to get throught the door. Also the toilets have also been very clean every time i have been which is always nice for us ladies.
