Quinno _ left this review about Wetherspoons

Small and fairly basic JDW that acts as more of a cafe than pub, what with it being tacked onto the shopping arcade. Interior has a dual mocha colour scheme with the usual Spoons fixtures and fittings. There’s a basic patio garden and least a decent amount of natural light inside. A very limited selection of ales by Wetherspoon’s usual standards, my ale from Warwickshire wasn't up to much (flat). Serves a purpose but not one I’d imagine myself being in again given the Figure of Eight isn’t too far away. As mentioned below, if they couldn’t even be bothered to think up a name for the place then what does that tell you?

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Wetherspoons

Smallish and usually busy bar in a small shopping mall linking the city centre with Broad Street, but particularly crowded when visited during the 'Frankfurt' Christmas Market. Cramped interior, with seating supplemented by a few patio tables outside. Six of the eight handpumps were on, including a decent pint of the seasonal Elf Esteem from Caledonian Brewery (£2.35). Overall, very ordinary.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Wetherspoons

After walking past it so many times, I decided to call in. It has an atmosphere similar to a railway or airport Spoons. I suppose it will have with the amount of people walking through the Paradise Place. Still it's always busy enough, I had a Black Hole Brewery beer and then scarpered.
