I've moved away from Wolverhampton recently but we used to always frequent this place when I was at uni. Five minute walk away, no loud music, booths and/or cozy couches, cheap booze, Monday Club (even cheaper booze), real ale on tap, just mellow drunken old men wiling away their last years.
God I miss that place. My graduation ceramony is coming soon though. And the venue is DIRECTLY opposite the Moon. Oh yes.
Saying that though I've been quite taken with Montgomery Tower here in Shrewsbury, which is essentially the same place what with them both being part of the Wetherspoons chain.

Re: Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton, UK
I wish I had lived in towns with names like Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury. Of course, I AM presently residing in the town of Neerpelt (translation: "inner-bog") Belgium.Heid wrote:I've moved away from Wolverhampton recently but we used to always frequent this place when I was at uni.

Re: Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton, UK
I've always found pubs belonging to the Wetherspoon chain to be somewhat lacking in character. Plenty of them up here in Scotland.Heid wrote:I've moved away from Wolverhampton recently but we used to always frequent this place when I was at uni.

That's about my only criticism, however. Pints of ale for £1.69? That's pretty hard to beat.

Re: Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton, UK
Well, yeah it's not got the personality of a local boozer what with it being a corporate chain but the atmosphere in general is usually just "nice". And yeah, the prices have always been one of the main attractions for me.Elvislution wrote: I've always found pubs belonging to the Wetherspoon chain to be somewhat lacking in character.

Re: Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton, UK
I just fnished a shitty day at work in a Wetherspoons.
Initially, I needed change for the bus, but with Deuchars IPA at £1.49 a pint, I couldn't just have the one.
Cannot be faulted for price.

I find that a Spoons is a good place to get warmed up as well as a good meeting place before heading out. We have a Moon Under Water in Leicester Sq. Cheap warm up beers are good, was even better a few years back when you used to get cheap drinks coupons in the post.Shane's Dentist wrote:I've always found pubs belonging to the Wetherspoon chain to be somewhat lacking in character.

Re: Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton, UK
interesting fact; the wetherspoons chain was set up to loosely follow the tenets laid out in George Orwell's essay, "Moon under the Water", about his imaginary favourite pub
