11 July 2023 Sunderland: The Tin of Sardines Gin Bar

 


We found a great table at the Tin of Sardines with a view of the sea and some protection from the wind.  This bar is small, not as small as the WC-Gin Closet in Newcastle.  Although it does share some history with the WC as they were both former public restrooms.  It is located on the top of a bluff over looking the Sunderland waterfront.  A great location and a perfect place for a happy hour.  The mozzarella and brisket balls were fantastic and the tempura was also on point.  of course it was a gin bar so we got four new gins in the book


Blue Skies but windy


Three workers in stripes, not much "go getting going" on


Nice 3-D feel


It is a series of stickers on the panes of a folding glass partition that is in the fully folded position


The golden scuba Monkey


Climbing up to get the good gin


A respectable collection of gins


Blueberry and Lemon for my GnT


Which gin to choose?


The Octopod!


I would need eight arms to manage all of these bottles


So many to keep track of


Lucky the Lizard is loving it


We took this table when it opened up.  We got some shelter from the wind here


Taking the tiny ones for a swim


The Brisket Mozzarella ball is seen here while still spherical on the board and deconstructed on the plate


These rare golden monkeys are quite illuminating


The portal!


Warship


What we used to think of a a regular sized boat


Until we see this huge ship off in the distance


Night falls


It has been 1 year and 36 days since we began our Migration
