But how about a look back at South Tyneside pub scenes we have loved from the past?
We have a reminder of a horse that liked a tipple, a panto dame sampling a swift half and much more.
Where did you love to savour a tasty pint in times gone by? Was it one of these hostelries?
Take a look at our retro selection and tell us more.
