The Rabbit Sunderland

1. First time in here, will be the last. Come for some food before a show at the empire, walked in and went to bar, guy pouring a drink didn’t even acknowledge us when we got got to the bar, second staff member appeared and talked to him, didn’t even look at us, third staff member appeared and finally got some acknowledgement.
   We got told to just take a seat and someone would be over to see to us, to be fair the younger staff member who took our food and drink order was over prompt and quite polite.
   Ordered food and although cutlery was already on the table salt and pepper wasn’t, food came quite quick, it was actually very nice, however no one came to ask how it was or offer salt, pepper or anything other sauces…. I had to ask the table next to us for some salt. No one around to ask beforehand.
   Worst thing is it wasn’t even busy 100% won’t return and we live in Sunderland, disappointing.

   Oh and as I write this we have empty glasses and no one has come to ask if we’re finished or want another drink….

2. Didn’t have food so not sure but atmosphere was fab. I danced my ass off and loved it DJ was brill

3. I have read all the other posts about the problem door staff and need to add my experiences to this long list.
   Myself and some work colleagues visited the pub and in the smaller bar having a dance. I went to the loo and came back to find this area had closed. I was concerned as I could not see my jacket, so asked the door staff who stood there. He had a look but couldn’t see it and sent me to the main bar to ask. They didn’t have it so I returned to the door staff. I was explaining that I wasn’t happy and that I wouldn’t be leaving without it, when he snatched my pint glass, smashed it on the floor, wrestled me down to roll in the broken glass and punched my face.
   Fortunately some of his colleagues pulled me out of his reach before he could do any further damage.
   So, now I’m outside the pub, wanting to know what that was all about and where my jacket was when another member of the door staff tried to interrupt my conversation. I told him I was talking to his colleague, which seemed to cause him some emotional distress, so he started to call me names such as “nob” and later something to do with an anchor. Seemed a bit childish to me.
   I requested a copy of the incident report, worryingly they didn’t seem to know what that is. I’ve asked again using their website contact form. I am waiting to see if one arrives before taking proceedings further.

4. I got in it and the floor was just washed. The smell of beer was so strong that I instantly thought they washed this floor with beer. Nothing else around me was opened and so I sat down. I ordered wine that came in a glass with someones lipstick on the side… I got a main that was a massive portion mainly potatos and vegetables, but thats okay you would not leave hungry and that is the only reason I give any stars at all. Will I go there again? No. Never.

5. Good food from the Theatre Menu. Mini platters are good so is the Lasgne and wraps
