The Art Picture House (Lloyds No 1), Bury

It is a decent Wetherspoons with 2 bars on ground level though as it was an afternoon only one was on. Service was pretty quick but only after the barman had twirled the glasses around a few times and started blathering on to a couple of Dearie's about the wine selection. A quick reminder that he was supposed to be serving me got him moving.

Called in on the 15th of March before getting the metro the two comments from Rex and Rob are correct but i got served straight away which is unusual for spooners.There was a beer festival going on i got a pint of plumb bitter it was good to start with but got sickly towards the end. Its a place you will call when you get off the metro or go for one

This is a Wetherspoon’s cinema conversation opposite Bury’s bus and tram terminal. It’s also been a bingo hall and night club since being a cinema. As you would expect it occupies a massive area, and is therefore something of a drinking barn, but if you take the trouble to look up you will see all of the ornate cinema decor still in place on the walls and ceiling, as well as the boxes on the first floor but which are not now accessible. Guest ales were only £2.10 in here, and of course the usual ‘spoons’ menu is available. As ‘spoons’ go, this one is a good example, and is a welcome stopping off point before getting the tram back to Manchester.

The Chicago Rock Cafe is now no longer it is now a Wetherspoons called The Art Picture House and must say another supurb job has been done in the conversion
