Whether you are looking for a quiet evening out with a few drinks or a rest from Christmas shopping around the city, Sunderland has some lovely pubs to warm your tootsies in this winter.
These are some of our favourite cosy pubs with fireplaces on Wearside for you to enjoy a drink or two when the weather is cold and wet.

2. The Saltgrass
The Saltgrass on Hanover Place is a perfect small pub for the cold evenings. The pub has the feeling of a countryside site while only being a short walk from the city centre. Photo: Frank Reid
