Sharp's Doom Bar at the Clairville, Liscard

This large Wetherspoons used to be a supermarket and the space that it now occupies is equally uninspiring. It was a huge open-plan pub full of diners, and the hand pumps were bare apart from a minimalistic portfolio. From the outside, it looked like the architects had an argument on how the pub should be built. It seems that they’ve opted for the cheapest possible option. A banner of colour occupies the panelling above the entrance to cover up the supermarket’s former logo. The pub’s name is actually underneath this and it would have looked a lot better if they had built over the panelling and put the wording on there. And you’d have thought that they would have painted the doors and windows to match. The result is not much of an attracting building at all; but once you got inside the interior seemed to say; ‘Relax, you’re in a Wetherspoon; there’s cheap prices here.’
