Moon Under Water (JD Wetherspoon), NW9

Standard spoons - in the Good Beer Guide 2024 under Colindale and to be fair, there didnt seem to be anything else in Colindale other than mid-rise housing promoted by a company called Unkle. Converted woolies - with drinking area to the front and then laid out for dining towards the rear. Usual carpet style, picture style on walls and more fruit machines than in a las vegas hotel lobby. Brains SA in very good condition.

The Moon Under Water certainly isn’t going to be a flagship Wetherspoons anytime soon, but it is a fairly safe bet in this area full of shop converted Irish bars. I counted ten hand pumps, although three of these were off, and a good sized standard draught range. Cheap food and drinks promotions are available and there are comfortable booths down either side of the pub. There is a plasma screen at the front and rear of the pub and these were both showing subtitled rolling news. Although I found the service to be friendly this is still a large forgettable Spoons and I wouldn’t go out of my way to drink here again.

This is a Wetherspoons of two halves really. The front is a bit dark and dreary and full of the local aged blokes nursing half of bitter. However at the back there’s a higher ceiling with glass domes that make for a much brighter atmosphere. This seemed to be where the younger and dining crowd were. Not much selection beer wise but had a decent pint from Rebellion.
