A bland modern Spoon's in a newish waterside development, which would have had some great views if someone hadn't planted Wagamamas in the way. There is one large room downstairs, a smaller area upstairs and some tables out on the quayside. Finally getting served after being ignored by the management team (who were playing with the fridges), I found that the food range was reduced to cold/microwaved items only, and the draught ales were just Ruddles and Elgoods Patron Saint. The latter was quite drinkable, but still I think the worst beer range I have ever encountered in a JDW. Not one of their best by any means.

Still not great, but much improved since our last visit. It was easy to get served on a Sunday, early evening and there were a couple of guest beers available. We went and sat in the upstairs area which was quite peaceful.

Square Box would be a better name than Square Sail. It’s a pretty featureless Lloyds No1 on Brayford Wharf so it’s full of people going to the cinema next door. There are about 8 handpumps, when we called most of these still had festival ales on, even though the festival finished almost 2 weeks previously. They were selling these at £1.09 a pint, they might have been a bargain or the beer might have been well past it’s sell by date. Who knows? We couldn’t get any as it was full of shoppers and child buggies and they only had 2 staff serving. Not good on this visit, but I have been in on a previous visit when it was OK.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Square Sail (Lloyds No1)
Rather characterless Lloyds No 1 Bar in the Brayford Pool entertainment complex, with a mezzanine at the front but just cavernous at the back. Modern furniture and decor. Five real ales from the two banks of three handpumps, but at least the Ruddle's and Abbot were supplemented by Milestone Loxley Ale, Elgood's Hickathrift and Daleside Santa's Progress (£1.15, half).
