The Cooper Rose
City-centre pub on Albion Place, near the Park Lane Interchange, with a weekly smartphone quiz on Wednesday evenings.
About The Cooper Rose
The Cooper Rose is a pub at 2-4 Albion Place in Sunderland city centre, a short walk from the Park Lane Interchange and Holmeside. Its position close to the main bus and Metro interchange makes it a convenient place to meet before heading elsewhere in the centre, and the bars of Vine Place and Derwent Street are only a couple of minutes away.
The pub hosts a weekly smartphone quiz on Wednesday evenings at 8pm, run by SpeedQuizzing, in which teams answer on their phones. It was also one of the venues that took part in Sunderland Cocktail Week in early 2026, alongside dozens of other bars and restaurants across the city. Quiz nights can occasionally change around live sport or other events, so it is worth checking with the pub on the day before setting out with a team.
