Yates’s now. Popular with the breakfast boozers. You can sit in the window and attempt to stare out other 10am boozers in Lyrics

Fairly quiet, nice looking,ex-Bank!. Two floors, good bar staff, food good ,very enjoyable. Condiments on table, very un Weatherspoons!
|
Large, but fairly quiet Wetherspoons with a limited selection of real ales and no real cider. The ale selection was Rudolph Beer (no brewery listed and staff didn't know), Lymestone Pudding Stone, Adnams Xporter, Cotleigh Red Nose Reinbeer & Greene King Abbot. At £1.85 a pint, the Xporter was good value, especially with a CAMRA discount. Not sure what this building was in its previous incarnation. But it seemed fairly grand, with an upper level balcony. The bar was in the centre. Not the best 'spoons I've ever been to though.

Very limited choice of ales, 3 available of which 2 were the usual Abbot and Ruddles.

Lloyds is Wethersoons pub, quite large over two levels. DJ on a saturday night (usually modern tunes with some old skool). Good atmosphere - attracts a mixture of ages, but more of a younger crowd compared to some other 'old town' pubs. Service seems to have improved (have walked/staggered out in the past as been too packed out)
|
Another 'vertical drinking' hangar, used to be a Midland Bank. Lunar atmosphere if sparsely populated, bangin' when rammed. but aren't they all?
|
Agree with South Yorkshireman..this pub only has four hand pumps:- I for Abbott for Ruddles 1 for a Cider and I for a guest ale. When I visited last Sunday it was Exmore Gold but it was selling for a very reasoable �1.45 a pint
thats 4p a pint cheaper than Ruddles. Real Ale fast go round the corner to the
Three John Scotts......they have SIX guests @ �1.90 a pint
|
Visited on a Monday night, hence the lack of atmosphere - however I have voted this Wetherspoon pub with below average marks for the ale available on the bar - or should I say, lack of choice.
Most of these kind of pubs offer a good solid selection, but this only had Ruddles, Abbot Ale (Both very common) and a Christmas Ale from Everards
(I would have liked to try this but it was off - apparantly due to them cleaning the lines).
Poor choice of beers from this chain lets it down.
|
Nice building on two levels but out of five handpumps only one vaguely interesting ale available,extremely slow service aswell due to only one girl serving on a busy sat morning, 6/10
|
This Lloyds has a poor real ale selection, even worse than most of the others in the chain. On a couple of occasions when I've called in it has had none on at all. Even when they do have beer on it's difficult to actually buy any. Not good.

How come the 8 rating??
It's a sort of alternative Wetherspoons but without the ale choice. I don't think the original comments are justified though, me thinks a few chips on the shoulder there.....
