The Kings Arms

Tried a few times to enjoy a pint in The Kings Arms. Very poor quality, ales taste like they haven’t cleaned the lines for months, sorry to the staff in there because they are canny but massively let down by variety of beers and the quality. Just walked out and left half a pint never going back. Avoid Price per person: £1–10 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2

Could be a nice pub but served us two pints of cask ale that were like vinegar. No real alternative available. Next two customers who came in asked for a lager that was on the pump but was not available and do walked out and the next customer asked for a bottled cider but there was none. A nice looking bar but very much a case of style over substance

An absolute peach of a pub. Price per person: £1–10 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Not many of us in there but made to feel very welcome, had a great chat and the bar lady was knowledgeable about Sunderland Price per person: £1–10 Atmosphere: 4

Fantastic old pub. Great beer friendly staff. A great atmosphere. A hidden gem. Worth seeking out.
