What User likes about The Observatory:
I visited this pub for a meal and drinks, and it was pretty much what you'd expect from any Wetherspoons. You can easily order through their app. They had a good selection of beers on tap during my visit, and I particularly enjoyed the Magpie Jay IPA—it was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was pleasant and not overcrowded, making it a great spot to hang out with friends. View all feedback.
