The Harbour view pub in Sunderland

Lovely pub but really disappointed by the female member of staff serving who blatantly ignored us waiting patiently at the bar and deliberately served others who clearly arrived after us. Poor attitude and the pub deserves better quality of staff than this. Walked out and went to Tin of Sardines down the road - proper and fair service....

Went for the real ales as per a magazine article we’d read. The real ale choices were disappointing, none local just 3 pale ales. On the plus side we were made welcome including the dog and had a perfectly pleasant visit. It was an afternoon and the pub was near empty

Lovely interior and exterior fitting the theme of the marina. Only four of us in the pub on a Saturday afternoon in comparison to the surrounding pubs which were very busy. Comfy atmosphere. Lager prices on par with other nearby venues. Only stayed for one.

The pub looks lovely inside, but the staff are rude and so are the other customers. Don’t go if you’re not a local because they will not make you feel welcome.

My favourite pub in Roker. Pleasant atmosphere and real ale. Amazing live blues music on Thursdays. Friendly regulars.

Brilliant visit nice choice of beer, friendly staff, was able to watch Liverpool game, a good watch,

A good selection of real ales. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Blues music Thursday nights with excellent musicians. Everyone a Sunderland supporter except for one Smoggy.

Visited this little gem after a Christening and was really impressed. Loads of TVs, cheap booze and a friendly atmosphere. A lovely and traditional boozer.

An extremely busy pub with great atmosphere, it was a football day so really busy but still service was efficient and as an away supporter we were made very welcome

This is a very good boozer with a very choice of beers.On top of this item hosts an excellent blues night on a Thursday organised by the very accomplished duo of Georges Shovlink and Lamb

Popped in for a quick beer, wish I hadnt bothered. I was confronted by this girl with a blonde mohican and a really disgusting attitude.She glared at me and "said what do u want".. I was taken aback..

Speakeasy night every Thursday 👍👍👍 Fabulous night out, good music, great choice of real ale. Fabulous atmosphere The wines and beers are low priced. No food other than crisps and snacks. On street parking

Nicely finished and presented pub!.. they had six different real ales on along with the usual 3 lagers and a couple of ciders, and to my amazement there was even one of my favourits on from a famous Staffordshire brewery! Staff were warm and helpful and the locals were friendly too!. I will most defiantly be using this pub again on my next visit up to sunderland!. Top marks!

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. My hubby enjoys the real ales and it’s also dog friendly so our 15 year old Bedlington Terrier enjoys a relax after her beach walk.

This busy pub has a vibrant feeling and is always busy. A good selection of beers & lagers can be found here served by friendly and competent staff. Well worth a visit !

Prosecco was a decent price. Nice busy atmosphere. Shame they don’t take card payments but there is an ATM just across the road.

This is one of our favourite pubs in Sunderland . its great for a casual drink with friends . Has open Mike nights Thursdays . Nice Staff and handy for the sae front . dogs allowed as no food served . love the Harbour View

Well I only stopped by in there a for a couple of cheeky ones, although the bar is nice and a decent atmosphere, the one down side was the attitude of one of the barmaids, she made it look as though she was going out of her way to serve you, bit moody to say the least.

Third visit. Great Thursday night entertainment. The speak easy night is a good night with performers singing or playing two songs. Great variety of talent. Fabulous real ales. Great atmosphere.

Fabulous;Fabulous night.🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒 Great music Fabulous real ale. Great atmosphere. Every Thursday night this music event is on. Will we be going ? Of course to good to miss.

He estado viniendo a este pub y bajar durante estos últimos años, al visitar Sunderland. Siempre tienen una fantástica variedad de cervezas, que son excelentes.

Este pub estaba tan ocupado cuando llegamos, tuvimos la suerte de conseguir asiento. Había una banda tocando y el lugar era absolutamente a tope. Un gran pub.

Ambiente agradable. selección fabulosa de cervezas. Música en vivo en un jueves por la noche. Sin duda merece la pena una visita. Me encanta la renovación. Zona exterior es muy popular en una tarde soleada para una semana en agosto! ! !

Siempre me gustó el puerto, gran selección de cervezas, personal amable. La reciente renovación es muy impresionante.

Sólo fuimos para una bebida. Un lugar agradable, gente amable de buena cerveza. Bien merece una visita. Como el nombre sugiere, bonitas vistas sobre el puerto.

Excelente como siempre. Gran variedad de cervezas y el jueves por la noche es una noche de blues - debe está resultando muy popular

Justo en la pared del puerto - buen acceso por carretera, bar completo y pantallas para ver el fútbol - favorito local.

A regular haunt. Great for locals and strangers alike. Dog friendly which is great since you have the beautiful coast to walk the dog beforehand. It has a great selection of drink. Including real ales.There is different ones on every other day. They have gone through 358 different ales this year already.The staff are friendly and can hold a conversation.

Had lunch. Food fresh and good value for moneyLovely day and setting in beer gardenStaff attentive and polite.

My favourite pub in Sunderland. Has a good selection of real ale. Perfect for pre- and post-match experience when Sunderland play at home.

Always a fantastic range of 6 micobrewery beers and always in great condition.....no nationals here! The landlord seeks out the latest beers available and charges a standard price irrespective of strength. After 7 pm on Wednesdays the price of a pint even reduces! Friendly staff and locals....away fans always made welcome.Not to be missed!

This is a great pub with friendly owner and staff. Great real ale selection. Thursday for George Shovlin Blues night. Full of Macums.

Best Beer in Sunderland, staff really friendly,log burner, good whiskey selection, Steff and Shelley a hoot, whats not to like.

I went to the Harbour View and found it a great bar with a good atmosphere > Lovely friendly staff and a great pint at a good price ( Carling £2.96). Compare this to my poor experience at Roker sea front at the over priced Poetic Licence ( Roker Hotel ) where you will be charged £3.40 for flat pint of Fosters by staff with no character. . Weve often been at the Harbour view and thank god for real pubs not turning into so called gasto pubs.

Popped in for a bevvie after our meal in the Bistro by the Sea upstairs. It was Saturday and really busy but got served virtually straight away. WE did call back later when we got a seat and finished the night off nicely.

we were in last night just before our meal over in marina vista.a lovely pub, very welcoming staff, nice pint of stones, wife had an alcopop, 9blast from the past), staff friendly, good age group in probably suits a +30's crowd. well recommended,

Spent a lovely night here, sun was out, sat outside . Nice selection of beers, all round nice pub with a good atmosphere

Took my mother here for her Sunday lunch. We booked a table got out meal which was piping hot and lots of it, you certainly won't eat a sweet afterwards. It's small but still plenty of room and with a lovely see view. Very impressed will def go back again.

It's a friendly pub with a great selection of real ales which change regularly. Service is also very good. Thursday nights are very popular with the Speakeasy-fantastic live music with many local acts. If you like the Blues, it's worth a try. There's a separate restaurant upstairs too

I know sunderland well dont go to the harbour view go to the new derby instead the harbour view is too clicky but the new derby is excellent especially for families

A friendly welcome from the staff and nice atmosphere with a good bunch of locals. We called in on Sunderland airshow weekend and had a couple of drinks .

Had heard bad reports but my husband and I found ourselves in here when we were out for my daughters birthday having a few drinks around Seaham. We were in early so there were just a handful of people in the bar. It had just had a refurb and it looked very nice. Great selection of drinks, bar staff very friendly

fabulous buskers night on a Thursday. Very talented musicians and super atmosphere. Hubby loves the selection of real ales which change frequently. Now has an outdoor seated area which is lovely to take advantage of early doors. Staff are really friendly.

Small and generally busy bar with a good atmosphere, some outside seating although some alteration work going on just now at the outside seating area. 5mins walk from the beach

I often meet up here with my hubby for an early evening drink after a long walk along the seafront. There is a varied selection of real ales which is changed on a weekly basis. He loves the choice and we enjoy sitting at the bar and chatting with the bar staff. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Really good bar staff. Quick service When is was very busy. Lovely views. Next visit I will have a meal.

large choice of beers, good athmosphere, kind staff. football games playing on the multiple tv screens

This place hasn't changed much downstairs. Still a stylish modern pub with a good choice of draught ales. Live entertainment on Friday night if you love acoustic. Upstairs is now an Amorè restaurant offering fine Italian cuisine. Perfect for a couples night out.

Went for tea and what a let down. Food was disgusting. Ordered Carbonara which was swimming in grease and tasted dreadful which i pointed out to the bar staff and was told oooh i will tell the chef!!. Chips were burnt and again greasy.got my son a pudding which was from a tin and very dry. Service was slow. Managememt very unaproachable. Wont be returning. Much better places with fresh food.

Nicely decorated, good variety of ales (cheap too), friendly locals and very good food (again good price). Everyone was friendly, helpful and welcoming. Busy if sport is on- we were there when Sunderland played Man City and it was a great atmosphere, though fairly blokey!

Often have Sunday lunch here and always good value for money and very nice! Always busy so tend to go a bit later on! The pub food is akso very nice with good portion sizes! Staff very friendly and helpful. A great local serving great pub food.

I found the bar itself was very cosy with a nice view of Sunderland's harbour. The drinks were reasonably priced and the bar was well stocked with a wide variety of drinks. I ate Sunday dinner in the restaurant section upstairs. The service was friendly and speedy, and the meal was delicious with large portions. My only complaint was the bar downstairs got a little busy on the evening but then again it is a very popular local pub.

Visited this pub whilst on visits to the marina in Sunderland and always found helpful staff. Clean and tidy bar, well looked after. Can be quite busy at weekends but that is a comment rather than any complaint!

The Harbour View is our local, it's one of the very few locals we have been to that allow well behaved dogs inside. For that reason we visit all the time as our dog goes everywhere with us and we usually drop in after a long walk along the beach as it's in the perfect location. They have a good choice of drinks, the lager, wine and beer are excellent quality and they have real ales, which is a bonus as that's my hubby's tipple. The Sunday lunch is fantastic value and if you are looking for a home-cooked meal, go no further. However, they do not accept card payments and the gents toilets are in desperate need of a refurb.

As the name suggests, The Harbour View pub is on the coast road of Sunderland but not the sea front. It has a lovely view of the harbour and the marina. I was there several times in May 2013, for Sunday Brunch. They serve a traditional "Sunday Dinner" between 11,00 to 16.00 or whenever the last patrons finish. Usually serving three meats, beef, pork, chicken or turkey. Lots of vegetables, mash potato, roast potatoes, huge Yorkshire Puddings and lashings of gravy and very nicely cooked. There is a seniors size meals and priced accordingly.The staff are very friendly and not just putting on an act, they really do care. It gets busy on Sundays because it is popular, but you can wait in the downstairs lounge/bar which is very comfortable. There is a good selection of ales, including Real Ale. It is a public house but kids are more than welcome accompanied by adults during the daytime.

Great pub and great food and beer, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Nice local, really enjoyed my visit.

this is a very nice pub. just next door to our hotel, so we nipped in for a quick pint. the services was great with friendly staff.the toilets were very clean & smart looking and all in all a nice little pub

always go down for a pint or two,great variety of beers and ciders and great environment with a reasonable price. it all the best came together: great location,great view and great drink. highly recommend for the friends reunion and family gathering

Always have a good time in here, the atmosphere is always good, always a good crowd and a great night out.

Booked a Sunday lunch for my family as this pub was recommended and was a special occasion as had family staying. Phoned twice to book and confirm time. When we arrived staff told us that there was no booking and we would have to wait. Were given no explanation or apology and staff just tried to blame each other, quote from one staff member 'well don't blame me, I only work on a Sunday'. Eventually spoke to gemma the so called manager who said it was her who took the booking and she wrote it on a piece of paper that must have got lost! No offer to sort us a table or any drinks as a way of apology, she just didn't want to know. If that is customer service then it is terrible and our family will not be returning. Went to the queen Vic along the road, great food and excellent customer service. Would never recommend this pub to anyone.

Freehouse, good beers, good service and sky sports, also great views and a short walk to the beach if you want get the fresh sea breeze, the atmosphere is warm and friendly.

Friendly Pub overlooking the Water with 6 real ales and nice vibe. Has an upstairs seating / eating area which was not open when we were there. Has seating outside

Small nice setting, near the coast. Always a range of real ales which is always pleasant and welcome addition to the normal chain drinks.

The people and the staff make this pub a great friendly place to go for a pint and its in a handy location which also does a great sunday roast and also has a private function area upstairs for those speaical occations and also provides a great and friendly atmoshpere. Great place to watch the football on a weekend.

This is a good all rounder, whether a quiet drink, some good food or watching the match! Excellent service, a modern but cosy pub. My partner and I went for sunday lunch which is served upstairs we had a table near the windows which overlook the harbour at Roker. At £6.95 for the sunday carvery its excellent value, choice of meat, huge yorkshires, choice of potatoes and help your self to as much veg as you want. This will be a regular.
