Judging by the past comments we may just have been lucky when we visited. We had no problem getting served at about 10.30 on Friday night, there was a good range of beers available and we even stayed for two. I had a pint of Oakham White Dwarf and a Hawkshead Brodie's Prime and both were in good nick. The two staff who served me were both friendly enough so we didn't have any problems with the place. As for the decor, well it's a huge featureless JDW. Not bad at all.

Like most 'spoons a very variable pub, sometimes the service is ok; at other times it is non-existant. Beer quality likewise varies. It's a JDW so you should know what you're going to get. One big U shaped room in an old department store. I've never stayed very long in here, either leaving without getting served or drinking up pretty quickly to go somewhere mediocre in preference.

Very large Wetherspoon's selling a very good range of guest ales.One of their better pubs.5 mins from Lime Street/Central stations
