I went to the new Wetherspoons at Waterloo and I Have Thoughts, most of them unrelated to Spoons. cityam.com/the-waterloo-w… – my latest column for City A.M.

Dispatch from the new, truly depressing, Waterloo Wethersooons, from Steve Dinneen 🦊 cityam.com/the-waterloo-w…

★☆☆☆☆ REVIEW || "The Waterloo Wetherspoons is utterly miserable," writes Steve Dinneen 🦊 ✍️ "There is something absurd about reviewing a new Wetherspoons. It’s like reviewing a Tuesday or the concept of ennui." Read the full review here 👇 cityam.com/the-waterloo-w…

“There is something absurd about reviewing a new Wetherspoons. It’s like reviewing a Tuesday or the concept of ennui. Spoons is inevitable, a mildly disappointing constant, as much a part of life as trousers or haircuts” - me in City A.M. cityam.com/the-waterloo-w…

"You already know what The Lion & The Unicorn is like; you have always known, on an instinctual level, the way Plato reckoned we were born with the sum total of knowledge and just forgot it all." A savage and reassuring account.

A piece so well written it fills me with envy: 'Spoons is inevitable, a mildly disappointing constant, as much a part of life as trousers or haircuts.' But I disagree - for Gen X/Z a haircut is a luxury, & noone can afford to sniff at Spoons' reliability cityam.com/the-waterloo-w…

The Waterloo Wetherspoons is utterly miserable: Of course it is cityam.com/the-waterloo-w…

★★★★★ REVIEW || “You can write your reviews but we ain’t gonna read them!” yelled Joe Talbot of I D L E S on Friday night 🗣️ However, vibes and music don’t get better than End of the Road, writes Lucy Kenningham ✍️ Read Lucy's EndOfTheRoadFestival review here 👇 cityam.com/end-of-the-roa…

It can't be *that* boring.

Hot off the heels of trashing Wetherspoons, here exactly the kind of snobby, pretentious review the commenters said I should stick to. "The Real Thing is a wonderful ode to the power of expertly placing one word before the next" – my review in City A.M. cityam.com/the-real-thing…

On your way home? Why not read “Probably the snobbiest, most sanctimonious review ever” of the miserable new Spoons at Waterloo in City A.M. cityam.com/the-waterloo-w…

Talk about burying the lede

i get so little interaction on this site i checked to see if i was shadow-banned and it turns out u all just hate my tweets

★★★★☆ REVIEW || Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing shows it’s fun to simply watch a master place one word before the next in an order that frequently takes your breath away, writes Steve Dinneen ✍️ cityam.com/the-real-thing…

Someone gets it

Steve Dinneen City A.M. "replicates the objects we all recognise – tables, carpets, people standing around necking pints of Carlsberg – but strips them of their inherent meaning." Join us on next week's "Dineen Does Derrida" when Steve will be deconstructing the Gail's in Kentish Town
