Ice cold beer, flat and lacking condition. Rumour this place is closing for a refurbishment later this month. Needs a reset considering its the world's biggest spoons.

Nethergate (was Nethergate Growler for a while then name reverted) - Old Growler
This building opened as a Wetherspoon's on Tuesday 29 August 2017 and is probably the largest Wetherspoon's in the country. It was designed as a dance hall by architect Stanley Davenport Adshead in 1903 and in later years operated as a casino. On two levels with a bar with 12 handpumps at ground level and another on the 1st floor balcony with 6 handpumps. Open-to-view kitchen on the ground floor. There is a ground floor rear patio and an upstairs outside covered decking area for fair weather drinking and sea and sand views.
We have visited this pub 196 times, seen 177 different beers and tried 147 of them.
