Quinno _ left this review about The Woodrow Wilson (JD Wetherspoon)
A classic 90s Spoons with booths, bookcases and varnish trim. Neat inbuilt fireplace in the middle of the pub which sadly looked unused, maybe they couldn’t trust the locals not to abuse it. Of amusement value was a retained COVID-era Perspex screen set which was fashioned into a booth – maybe this feature will see its inclusion in the CAMRA National Inventory come 2040. Ground floor bogs, a pleasant rarity. A regular GBG lister and there were six guest cask, my Allendale Wolf was close to fag-end but still good (NBSS 3.5) served-up by friendly staff. I also dropped in for a bit of grub and a herbal high a couple of nights later to find a nice, genteel atmosphere. From a toper’s perspective this is the better Spoons of the two but both the JDWs have their merits and given Carlisle town centre is mostly shut midweek evenings (and doesn’t have much in the way of quality regardless), they’re default options. The unusual name is that Ma Wilson was born in Carlisle. 7.5

Quite a pleasant Wetherspoons with cosy booths to sit in. Rapid, speed of light service, a lot of the old Wetherspoons issues are now redundant with most customers using the app. The food was pinged in record breaking time. All ales £2 a pint besides the sadly dull and bland Ruddles which is currently on at a ridiculous 99p. No wonder it was so busy.

The most JDW of all JDWs. Converted shop. Sticky tables. Packed but strangely, no one at the bar.
Good Beer Guide 2021 and you cannot argue with quality Corby Ale for £1.99.
Not my cup of tea or where I would choose to go for entertainment.
