The Palladium, Llandudno

I was taken by this place from the outside and even more so on the inside, one of the nicest buildings I've had the pleasure of visiting. I loved the fact that a lot of the seating had been kept facing where the stage once was. The toilets are above the stage area with the spotlights on them, upon leaving the toilet you get a feeling of what it must have been like up on the stage. The 'royal' boxes have cardboard cut outs of gentry in them, its well worth a visit.

Only downside was quite an important one! I tried 2 real ales which werent much to write home about at all.

The Kings Head, Llandudno

Quality pub this, I went in on Thursday afternoon and had a couple of the Great Orme brewerys 'Merlyn', was very nice. The pub is decked out in dark wood and has lots of nooks and crannies, if I lived here I'd visit often.

Wardwick Tavern, Derby

Not happy with the 'Wick. Have visited twice in recent weeks and it seems a case of a previously good pub gone downhill in pursuit of a quick buck. No real ales, poorly kept keg beers (Carling, Fosters etc) and a general feeling that the place needs a bit of care from a proper pub custodian rather than trying to make cash trading on past reputation when the pub was ran well by enthusiastic and skillful landlords..

They have Italian 'SKY' tv which hardly works and has no commentary so there goes an end to the busy nights for big sporting occasions.

Sad demise
