Real Ale Ray left this review about The Caley Picture House (JD Wetherspoon)
I didn't know really what to expect walking up the stairs and past an old cinema projector in the foyer. Once through the top doors and into the main Picture House area, I have to say I was very impressed with the place. The interior lighting was fairly low, as though you were in an actual Cinema. The upper seated circle area with a staircase either side was worth a look. Another feature you don't often see in a Spoons was the open plan kitchen.
The cask ale line up was Orkney Wavebreaker and Tidal Bay, Stewart Jack Back and Summer Citra, Titanic Anchor, Belhaven 80 Shilling and Doom Bar.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Caley Picture House (JD Wetherspoon)
An excellent cinema conversion, with the counter in front of the screen, most seating / dining areas in the stalls and further tables up in the circle. The real ale choice from the two banks of six handpumps was pretty impressive too, with a pair from Stewart Brewing - Jack Back and the festive Sleigh My Name (£2.49) - plus six of seasonal beers from a variety of breweries in addition to the expected Deuchars IPA, Doom Bar and Abbot. With lots to look at as well, this one is well worth seeking out.

A Spoons in a converted cinema (2016) and we love those, don’t we kids? Enter to an empty lower foyer section housing nothing but an old projector, you have to do a long walk up the stairs to get to the bar. Pretty impressive on entering, the servery backs onto the old stage which makes for an impressive backdrop. Black and gold is the colour scheme of choice, with the gold picking out some impressive cornicings. Apparently there is also a mezzanine area but I either missed it or it was closed-off. Four genuine guest ales, my Stewart Brewery Pentland was in good shape (NBSS 3.5) and no arguments about my lunchtime pizza. Well-worth a visit.
