JD Wetherspoon has tastefully restored the old Opera House to its former glory including the stage, stalls, circle and boxes. It is now a beautiful setting enhanced by the huge central chandelier and well worth a visit. Located in the centre of town, close to the Victoria shopping centre the pub is a very convenient place to take refuge from the shopping crowds. A wide range of guest ales are always stocked with Long Man and Dark Star beers often to be found. The upper bar provides the opportunity to eat or drink while imagining performing on stage in such splendid surroundings. Appropriately the pub hosts an Opera performance once a year.
Conversion
One of the most spectacular interiors in the country, well converted with the pub elements fitting perfectly. Wetherspoon's has restored the old Opera House opened in 1902 to its former glory including the stage, stalls, circle and boxes, all enhanced by the huge central chandelier. Grade II-listed. A wide range of ales and the opportunity to eat or drink in splendid surroundings while you imagine performing on stage. It still closes once a year for ticketed opera performances.
