Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Waterhouse (JD Wetherspoon)
I have always found this to be one of the better 'spoons, offering decent beer in interesting and civilised surroundings. The conversion has kept most of the original layout, which may make the bar a bit awkwardly placed (split between two rooms) but this has the advantage of offering plenty of different seating areas of a more traditional size than most of this chain's outlets. Five handpumps on each part of the bar, offering the usual suspects plus a fair selection of guests (priced at £2.15 for standard beers and £2.30 for stronger ales).

Sitting in the shadow of the Town Hall that Albert Waterhouse designed,this Wetherspoons outlet is strangely laid out with numerous small rooms,possibly because of it's previous occupants which were solicitors.For a change got served fairly sharp and tried the Phoenix Brewery's Porter (5.0abv)which was a decent pint.

This should be a better Wetherspoons for me, as its not the standard layout. It has multi-rooms. However, I found it all rather formal and, well, boring. Straight lines, high ceilings, plain walls, plain pictures.
There are plenty of different seating areas and it appears popular. Saved for me by having a good beer choice and very good quality, as with the nearby Paramount, though I think this one is slightly better.
Phoenix Wobbly Bob is a regular.

Peerless Triple Blond, Black Hole Brewery (BHB) Star Gazer, Hawkshead Red, Bradfield Farmers Stout, Moorhouse’s Leaky Roof (‘brewed for Waterhouse’), Phoenix Wobbly Bob (6%), Elland Waterhouse IPA (‘exclusive to JDW’) x2, Ruddles, Abbot. Not been here before but impressive beer line up across 10 handpumps – note that the 2nd bank of 5 pumps is obscured by a pillar toward the ‘coffee shop’ – an area to which, pleasingly, most of the post-work crowd wanting to order food were directed. Unusual for a spoons, the Waterhouse has lots of separate areas & rooms, I was almost tempted to write nooks! Using the Kennedy St entrance I wandered a little before finding the bar, an area which is tiled with the rest carpeted. Not too busy, but very good service, and £1.95pp. Loos are upstairs and are even better than jdw’s usual good standard – stand alone granite(-esque) hand basins & airforce dryers (the only ones worth a fig, after airblade). The landing has a bookcase, and you almost feel as if you’ve been for a leak in a country house. Yes, all round impressed.

A quieter Wetherspoons than one normally finds.Disabled access is at the rear of the premises and can be a pain. Inside narrow corridors, small,crowded rooms dont make things easier. This is an old converted building from times when the disabled were less well considered. Otherwise this is a good 'Spoons.
