About Steels Social Club
Steels Social Club, established in the early 1950s, is one of Sunderland's most popular and longest-running social clubs and one of the city's best-loved live-music venues. The large concert room comfortably seats up to 300, with good views of a large raised stage from all areas, a full PA system with static and roving mics, and a drop-down big screen for live sport. Live entertainment runs Sunday and Wednesday evenings from 8pm — typically solo artists or duos in the Concert Room. There's a large bar plus traditional club games (darts and snooker), and the room is available for private function hire. Found at 1 Peacock Street West, SR4 6LQ.
