The Palladium - JD Wetherspoon — Restaurant in Wales

My wife and I visited Llandudno this weekend. We visited Wetherspoons on Friday evening in my impossible pursuit of the Wetherspoons challenge (visiting over 900 different pubs within the group. I have visited barely 100!). We had noticed there was a scooter event in the town and saw a few groups wearing what I took to be club badges on their shirts. I noticed a group sat near to us who were in good spirits. From overhearing their conversations I gathered that they were celebrating the life of someone who had recently passed away. A couple of times they raised their drinks and cheered. At this point the reason for my review occurred. I normally visit wetherspoons because their pubs are everywhere, easy to find, cheap and often occupy interesting old buildings. This pub is no different and appears to be an old theatre. However, I saw 2 bouncers approach the group and tell them to be quiet. I could barely believe what I was seeing as the group had not caused any issues at all. Both bouncers were slim, one with a long beard and the other with short dark hair. The second one was determined to show everyone how important and powerful he believed that he was. From what I had seen and heard I believed that one of the women in the group had suffered the bereavement. This woman approached the bouncers and appeared to try to explain to them what was happening. She appeared calm but upset as she spoke to the self important short haired bouncer. My wife and I left and saw the female clearly upset outside saying she had been thrown out!! I will continue my wetherspoons challenge but will not be back to the Llandudno pub if this is an acceptable way for...

A Grand Experience at The Palladium: Llandudno's Wetherspoon Gem The Palladium Wetherspoon in Llandudno isn't just a pub; it's a stunning step back in time. Housed in a magnificent former theatre, its recent multi-million-pound refurbishment has meticulously restored the Baroque-style grandeur, from the intricate ceiling to the grand proscenium arch. It's a truly unique and impressive setting that will have you looking up in awe. Beyond the breathtaking architecture, The Palladium delivers on classic Wetherspoon value. Expect a wide variety of consistently good food and an impressive selection of drinks, all at competitive prices. The free hot drink refills are a welcome bonus! The atmosphere is generally lively and welcoming, popular with both locals and tourists. Despite its size, the clever layout creates comfortable spaces for all. Located conveniently on Gloddaeth Street, it's a perfect stop after exploring Llandudno. While it's still a Wetherspoon, The Palladium's historical significance and stunning interior elevate it far beyond the norm. If you're in Llandudno, it's a must-visit for good food, great value, and an unforgettable setting. It's arguably one of the best Wetherspoon pubs in...

Original post: Aug '19. Visited while in Llandudno. Its situated towards the end of the shops at the pier end of the town. It is that big it has two entrances. We actually came in the back way initially but WOW its just a stunning interior. From the "royal boxes" high up on the walls to the balconys. The floor area is vast. Food was lovely. Bit of a wait but it was summer so understandable. We left through the front entrance which consisted of a lovely foyer and front windows. A beautiful building full of character. Would happily visit when next in Llandudno. UPDATE : Aug '23. My original post was 4 years ago but visited again while we stayed this year just over the road in the Travelodge. The foyer area on the main road entrance bow has seating areas in it whereas in my previous visit it didn't. The main floor area seems to be the same. Our breakfasts were lovely and delicious and the whole experience was great seeing as it was 4 years since our last visit. A great spoons, with great food and helpful staff. Free parking outside on the road and central road area also. A must visit while...
