Since Michelle took over The White Lion in Houghton le Spring she has transformed it into one of the best live music venues in the Northeast. Long may she continue.

Really good night good music good people and the staff are you friendly x

Not many in the pub. However it's in Houghton Le spring that's the town we have a DH postcode I don't class us as city of Sunderland really (apart from our local council).

Lush place Michelle makes you feel really welcome x

Local friendly pub. Love the staff. Love the Dj. Upstairs has turned into a nightclub which is awesome. Just a great way to relax in the pool room on the day time
