The Railway Tavern, Millfield, Sunderland

Corner local opposite the Millfield metro station. Despite featuring in the Good Beer Guide back in 2013, real ale has since been discontinued. The keg selection was Coors, Woodpecker, Fosters, Strongbow, Strongbow Dark Fruit, Cameron's Lager, John Smith's & McEwan's Best Scotch. The barmaid and the locals were all fairly friendly. I didn't venture far beyond the small front bar, where seating (mainly stools) was limited. But there was at least one further room at the rear.
