“ Awesome place! Great vibes and really good drinks, plus the dog the bar is named after is there sometimes which is an amazing bonus when you're having a few drinks! ”
“ We were walking past and heard the music so we thought we would give it a try, surprisingly the music is louder outside than in. Huge range of beers on draft and in cans. The staff were great and very knowledgeable about the beers, none on at the time but plenty of live acts booked, so we will definitely be back. On a side note the bar is named after the owners dog and there are some great paintings of him decorating the walls. ”
“ What can I say about this place? Simply one of the best bars I’ve visited! The staff were incredibly helpful, especially when guiding me through the vegan beer options. There was a fantastic range to choose from, and the IDA selection was impressive. The Club Tropical on tap was a standout—crisp, refreshing, and bursting with flavor all the way to the last sip. Huge credit to the guys for their stellar service and incredible beer selection. Keep up the good work ”
“ Best gaff in the northeast. Unreal selection of drinks at a decent price. Coffee and cake is loverly. Just a nice place to be at any time of the day. Very chill. Class tunes. The friendliest staff. Class Dog friendly as well so no excuses for not turning up ”
“ Me and my girlfriend came in as a late birthday celebration and were immediately sold. The atmosphere was chill and the service was equally as good. the pizza and garlic bread were out of this world, dough is fresh and so is every other ingredient in the place. local drought selection will appeal to anyone local and anyone from out of sunderland. Overall an amazing place with amazing staff and service couldn’t recommend it anymore. ”
“ What a lovely spot! We had been meaning to pop in for a while but never had until today. Mel was SO welcoming to us, and our two dogs who were absolutely spoilt with posh biscuits. The reggae & ska music was great for a Sunday afternoon, the freshly made-to-order pizza was delightful and Mel's homemade lemon drizzle cake was a pure delight (her Nana's recipe). Oh, and I can't forget the special sausage treats from the doggie menu - everybody is catered for. There is a wide selection of drinks at very good prices. We will definitely be back and might even be brave enough to try a quiz night! Thanks for your warm and friendly service, Mel. ”
“ Me and my boyfriend visited as a late birthday celebration. Straight away you notice their unique furniture/decor and huge selection of local drinks. We ordered a pizza and cheesy garlic bread, 2 beers, and juice, and it was INCREDIBLE. All of the dough is fresh, cooked pretty much in front of you, and really cheap for the quality of it! This is the first food place where I’ve walked in and instantly felt at ease, the lady working (I think called Claire?) was so so lovely, she told us about the events they have on, one of them being a comedy night which sounds really good and we hope to be back for! Diego’s is named after their dog, and you’ll find most stuff in his name/decorated with his face on which adds a cute homely vibe to the place. We will DEFINITELY be back, this is going to be our new go-to place! We highly, highly recommend!! ”
