please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

One of the smaller Wetherspoons – and one of the darkest ! A converted cinema with fantastic decor inside. Seats on several levels going up and up. Plus what appears to be a large fireplace on the second floor.

Only 8 handpumps, featuring 3 local beers and Brains SA Gold. I had a pint of Conwy Rampart, which was very nice. Since it’s a Wetherspoons, I don’t need to mention the food. However, I had the Mexican Burger, which wasn’t as hot as in some places, with smaller chillis than normal. I’m not sure whether that is a good or bad thing !

Service was much better than in Llandudno, and the loos were a lot closer too !

6/10 – one of the better Spoons.

A Wetherspoons with a bit more character than most. This one is in an old cinema. Seating is on multiple levels. Service took quite a while, with most people placing food and coffee orders. However, there was a reasonable choice of ales - Purple Moose Dark Side of the Moose & Glaslyn Ale, Ruddles Best, Loddon Bamboozle, Wadworth Kalamazoo Amber Ale, Greene King Abbot, Fullers London Pride & Caledonian Brown's Barley Black IPA. Ciders were Mr Whiteheads Beetroot & Thistly Cross. Probably the best choice in the centre of Colwyn Bay.

A quirky, interesting pub. Somewhat on the small side for Wetherspoons'. Seating on various levels although I would not wish to climb all the stairs to the tables in the gallery especially after having a few! A little on the dark side.

4 guest ales available and the the service was good.

However, the approach to the gent's toilets is all what is wrong with Wetherspoons. In this particular pub you go up a flight of stairs, take a few steps across the floor and then down a further flight to what are quite nice toilets.

Definitely would visit the next time I am in the area.

Wonderfully restored, as the name says, Picture House. The varying levels make it seem smaller than what it is. Had local Conwy beer on.
