Cabot Court Hotel (JD Wetherspoon), Weston Super Mare

This hotel is now a Lloyds No 1 Bar, although you wouldn't necessarily notice unless you see the sound system and lighting in the upstairs bar. Unusual grey-based colour scheme and various decorative features adding a bit of interest in the various seating / dining areas, and some windows have decent seafront views. Seven real ales on handpump in the main ground-floor bar, including two from Moles - Gold and The Tunneler (normally £2.49, but 40p less on a Monday). Also has eight more handpumps upstairs, although these were either duplicates or unused.

This place is listed in the JDW directory as a Lloyds as well as one of their hotels but I saw no evidence of it as I didn't venture up the stairs where according to one of the reviews below and What Pub there is a dance floor at the top. Because the majority of the place is standard JDW I wouldn't class it as a Lloyds at all. The fixtures and fittings are better than average. The sea is immediately across the road from the front door of this place so I would imagine it's fun in the winter storms. The downstairs bar has just seven hand pumps which had the JDW Trio Of Doom, Marston's One Is 90, Exmoor Beast & XPA and one available soon. I went for the Exmoor Beast (£2.65 but was marked at £2.79) which was in good nick. I thought this was a good Spoons. It's GBG 2016 listed.

The building well described by Blackthorn below. I was in late afternoon, late April. The usual 'spoons customers in, older couple eating, drunk group of lads, young couple boozing, you have seen it all before It was OK as it goes, I had a pint of Bristol Brewery Old something or other, it was nice pint and I enjoyed it Worth going in if in the area
