Strongers . left this review about The Flying Standard (JD Wetherspoon)
The Flying Standard is a large Wetherspoons that is housed in an enormous mock Tudor building with lots of café seating out front. The interior is split-level with raised seating in the front right and sunken seating to the left. A curved serving counter that runs across the rear faces a sea of high tables, many of which were taken during a recent midweek late afternoon visit. Upstairs is a smaller split-level bar where a paved terrace can be accessed to the side. Standard and premium keg were available across the two bars with two banks of six hand pumps downstairs and a bank of three upstairs that were drawing the usual three suspects alongside Sharp’s Sea Fury, GK Old Speckled Hen and Byatt’s Brewery’s Dragon Pop IPA.

Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Flying Standard (JD Wetherspoon)
We arrived at this city centre branch of Wetherspoon's to find an ambulance outside and an area of the bar cleared for the paramedics to care for a guy who had seemingly collapsed.
Other than that, everybody was continuing along with their business as usual, with the typical Wetherspoon's clientele. The bar is long, with a couple of banks of handpulls. Greene King Abbot, Ruddles Best & Sharp's Doom Bar were all on, as you would expect. Guests were Ringwood Old Thumper, Heritage Charrington IPA, Oakham Citra & Byatt's Ruby Rye IPA. The cider was Gwynt y Ddraig Black Dragon.
Whilst the ground floor is large and extends to a slightly raised area off to the right-hand side, the upstairs seating area was also very busy, with plenty of seating including an outdoor area.

Mild Drinker left this review about The Flying Standard (JD Wetherspoon)
Being from Coventry I believe this pub is a lovely looking building amongst a mostly concrete jungle in the centre of the city in the shadow of the cathedral. Inside is a very large two floored affair. I had an Old Thumper and a She Sells Sea Shells (easy for you to say!) which were both fine. Gets very busy here as to be expected with cheap drinks aplenty. One of the better of which few options left in Coventry City centre.
