This is a wedge shaped red brick building. The interior is constrained by the shape of the building with some nice bench seating around the walls and the rest being fairly typical.
Like the previous correspondent found nearly four years ago the beer choice lets this place down badly. On my visit they had the IPA variant of the JDW Trio Of Doom and Pedigree doubled up leaving a mainstream and totally uninspiring choice of Spitfire or Hobgoblin. After seeing this I ordered a Devils Backbone which I was told they had stopped selling despite being listed on the brand new menu. I ended up with a couple of cans of Sixpoint Bengali IPA which I drank and then left to get the bus back to Loughborough. I have to say that waiting for a bus in the rain is a better experience than drinking in this useless JDW. It only avoids the Score of Shame as there were no Available Soon offerings.

The Monkey Walk is a Wetherspoons pub that is housed in an old building in the middle of Coalville.
Once inside the pub has got one large L shaped room,there were some normal tables and chairs near the corner entrance then tall tables and chairs near the bar,the left side was where most people were dining.
There were 10 pumps on the bar but the beer choice was very dissapointing for a Spoons,i had a drink of Pedigree which was Ok but not as good as the one i had in the Stamford and Warrington,the other beers were Adnams Broadside,Ruddles best x 2,Abbot x 2 and Hobgoblin,there were three pumps with beers waiting on them.
The pub was very busy just after 11 in the morning but this was no surprise as there was only one other pub open at this time in the middle of Coalville.
