Beach was a quality club when it was still Beach, as it had a proper chillout room upstairs towards the front of the club. The balcony area overlooking the dancefloor was class too, as it didn't half shake!
I didn't bother with Flares all that much, but there were some good bars around Sunderland around the same time. Innfusion had not long opened for a start, and then you had the likes of Berlins, Jazz (now demolished), Chase, and Luma. You also had proper dives like Bar 36 mind...
No, not that I remember, even though I got lifted and charged with Drunk and Disorderly, Pub Watch was never mentioned, the door staff, police and magistrates accepted my behaviour was out of character and that I was not usually an aggressive drunk, it was actually round the same time people noticed my problems with mental health really started to show
Since then I have probably only turned out in Sunderland at an average once a year, I pretty much cut my drinking down in 2003
