The Coliseum (JD Wetherspoon), Abergavenny

Looks good on the outside but a bit uninteresting on the inside. Usual beers plus 3 guests including Black Sheep Special and an English Brown Ale. The food we had was fairly good.

Although this building was once a cinema their is little evidence of it inside which makes me wonder if the interior and especially the roof had been rebuilt before it became a pub. As mentioned below once you have climbed a staircase it's a dull rectangular shed with all the usual furnishings. There was a large TV projector screen which was off putting. There are ten hand pumps but the choice was abysmal with one unused, one available soon, a festival beer from well over a month ago, the JDW Trio Of Doom doubled up, Brain's Bread Of Heaven and ostensibly Glamorgan Cwrw Gorslas. I asked for this and it turned out it wasn't on. There is nothing more annoying in a Spoons than seeing beers supposedly on that aren't. I asked the barmaid if there was a reason for it showing as being available when it wasn't and as always got no response. For the third time in less than a week I was cornered into drinking the rubbish Bread Of Heaven (£2.29). I thought this place was a complete waste of time.
