The quirky Wetherspoons pubs that turn into nightclubs on weekends
By Hope Brotherton, Travel Reporter
WETHERSPOONS pubs are best known for being cheap and cheerful places to eat and drink, but there are a few where punters can also tear up the dancefloor too.
A handful of the boozers turn into nightclubs with music blaring into the early hours of the morning – is your local among the lucky few.
The Regal, Cambridge
Located inside the former Regal Theatre, the Art Deco spoons boasts high ceilings and expansive seating areas.
While it serves the usual range of food and drink during the day, by night it transforms into a party heaven where the tables and chairs are pushed aside to form a dancefloor.
While there is no longer a DJ, music is played in the evenings.
The Bishops’ Mill, Durham
Named after a mill that was used to grind corn, the Bishops’ Mill is a modern Spoons pub.
Punters can expect the usual grub, like curries, pizzas and burgers, during a daytime visit.
The Bishop’s Mill in Durham is open late on weekends, with DJs and lighting turning the pub into a club.
There are also student nights on throughout the week, making it perfect for clubbers on a budget.
The Montagu Pyke, London
Located on Charing Cross Road in central London, the Montagu Pyke is popular with Londoners, tourists and theatre-goers alike thanks to its proximity to the West End and Soho.
Just like the Regal, the Spoons boozer sits inside a former cinema called the Montagu Pyke, which is named after a pioneering figure of early British cinema.
While the Montagu Pyke doesn’t have an onsite DJ, music is played.
