Porterfield

Crowtree Road.

Previously Olivers, light and spacious bar with a warm feel, the bar is named after Ian Porterfield, who played and won the F.A cup with Sunderland.

Used to start off in here, was always our meeting point but its went dowhhill rapidly, outside looks like the smoking shelter you'd expect for Jeremy Kyle Show most evennings with all the drunks & local folk barred from other bars, chavs & old men in tracksuits smoking rolled up cigs and shouting abuse at passers by is not the most ideal marketing strategy & certainly was'nt mentioned in the "Sunderland Echo" review when first opened? We now meet in the Derry then over to Brogans

What's happened to this place used to be a good bar on the route but now it seems to be the in place for all the drunks and riff raff to congregate. Won't be going back

Theres a takeaway boarded up nearby but no pubs boarded up. The food is lovely in there. Prices are a lot more reasonable than those rip off bars in Newcastle that Ian mentions.

This is owned by the superb Beyond Bar and Opera Piano bar in The Gate in Newcastle. Good food, good drinks and great staff. Shame its in this area of Sunderland really as all the other pubs around it are terrible or boarded up.

Has this place turned into alcoholicsville? Whenever i walk past there always seems to be a handfull of people sitting outside drunk off there trolleys, shouting the odds. Its really off putting to walk past never mind go in. Its a shame, this bar used to be quite a decent place and the cocktails were fab.It was never my favourite bar but on i night out we'd always pop in for a drink or two.

Went to this place on Saturday and reported that two young girls had went into the mens toilet with an older man. The bar manager did his duty and ran upstairs and found them "at it" he then reported this to his manager who I suppose was the owner? (cockney) the reply was "oh I know". Even if the girls were out for a bit of money it does not mean his customers can take part in sex in the toilets.

Like the place particuarly for food. I'm sure they used to have cask Double Maxim on there.I recall having a top pint of the stuff in the place. Don't know why it was taken off.

Top pub, great old SAFC/Vaux memorablia on the wall. Agree it would be nice if they had the cask on. I remember having a cracking pint of Samson in there about a year ago.

I had a nice meal in there yesterday after being persuaded by a sexy young girl outside the Bridges to venture into the place !

Had my lunch in there last week top scran. A cask Double Maxim would have gone down well with it.

Used to like the place. In last week and the bottle of Double Maxim went up from £2 to £2.40 ! Why don't you get cask Double Maxim in it tends to be cheaper !
