I was a little bit gutted when the Cooper Rose on Albion Place, Sunderland, announced that they were closing their doors for renovation works last March.
It is a classic go-to for my friends and I for a quick meal or light social drinks.
After all, it had everything you could ever want in a pub - cheep beverages, a vast selection of food on the menu, and a cosy and quaint atmosphere despite it being constantly busy from open until close.
