Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Dun Cow
I think it has been 11 years since my last visit to the Dun Cow. Little appears to have changed in that time. It's a beautiful pub, both inside and out. Quite busy inside, it didn't take too long to get served at the ornate bar and beer range was just about the best we found on our short tour of some of the city centre pubs.
Allendale Pennine Pale is a regular beer. Guests were Ossett/Northern Monk Maple Red Ale, Darwin Rolling Hitch, Brew York Maris The Otter & Maxim Pic 'N' Mix. Keg beers included Maxim Samson Smooth, Brixton Reliance, Beavertown Neck Oil, something First & Last Spruce, Anarchy Dark Souls & Dark Forest Theory & Tiny Rebel Clwb Tropica. I didn't spot a real cider but may have missed it.
As in many Sunderland pubs, a CAMRA discount is offered. This pub is well worth a try.

Enjoyed our visit to this 2019 Good Beer Guide pub with it's beautiful interior which is worth a wander round to see. Selected Sonnet 43 Raven from the beers on offer and it was fine.

What an amazing interior this pub has and the beer isn’t bad either. Eight pulls of locally sourced beers apart from the Doom, there's also a reasonable selection of kegs. The classiest barback I’ve ever seen, beautiful ceilings, stained glass and geometric floor, only flaw is the modern windows otherwise a fine survivor, don’t miss.
