The Caley Picture House (JD Wetherspoon), Edinburgh

A Spoons in a converted cinema (2016) and we love those, don’t we kids? Enter to an empty lower foyer section housing nothing but an old projector, you have to do a long walk up the stairs to get to the bar. Pretty impressive on entering, the servery backs onto the old stage which makes for an impressive backdrop. Black and gold is the colour scheme of choice, with the gold picking out some impressive cornicings. Apparently there is also a mezzanine area but I either missed it or it was closed-off. Four genuine guest ales, my Stewart Brewery Pentland was in good shape (NBSS 3.5) and no arguments about my lunchtime pizza. Well-worth a visit.
