The Coliseum Picture Theatre (JD Wetherspoon), Cleethorpes

A surprisingly-pleasant Spoons for a resort, with a nicely decorated and furnished interior featuring windows on to the cool room stillage at the back. The upstairs area is spacious and there is a roof terrace also. Guest ales were Jaipur, Hook Norton Double Stout and two from Yorkshire Heart - Yorkshire Brown Ale and Rhu-bar-beer.

A 2014 opener, this nightclub (via cinema) conversion is an unusually discreet Spoons though once inside it opens out a bit and includes a mezzanine level and, I now read, a roof garden which I’m sad not to have noticed and explored. Some interwar and Romanesque décor stylings and the rear booths are very tidy. Three guest cask (all southern which made me wince a bit), my Elgoods was, whilst seemingly conditioned fine, quite a vile tasting concoction (NBSS 1.5). I’m reluctant to lay the blame fully at the pub’s door here as I’ve encountered many a rotten Elgoods in my time, it is the most hodophobic of breweries. But it has cost a higher mark.

Longish room with the bar to the right. Usual selection of Tim's ales but a new one on me, Fletchers 5.2 ABV IPA which was quite decent.
