But one of the pubs in the UK lets you watch a huge live performance once year.

The Opera House, in Tunbridge Wells, was built in 1902, before being converted to a cinema in 1931 and a bingo hall in the 70s.

Many of the original features have been kept, including the grand chandeliers and booths, as well as the stage.

Guests can even choose tables that are right on the stage, surrounded by the opera boxes.

And once a year, it remembers its roots with a live opera show inside.

Next year, the show will be conducted by The Merry Opera Company, performing Die Fledermaus.

Taking place on February 16 at both 2pm and 7:30pm, the tickets go on sale on December 1.

Don't worry about dressing up - the website says: "You don’t need to pay a fortune or wear formal evening dress to see operas like this".

Having started performing in 2007, they've since welcomed 67,000 guests to watch.

If you can't make it to watch the show, the pub is still worth a visit.

Punters have raved about the Wetherspoons, with many being "blown away".

One person said: "This place is awesome, you can see the richness and the workmanship of hundreds of years. This is a must see place."

Another said it was "possibly the best looking Wetherspoons," although compared it to the Winter Gardens in Harrogate, another pretty pub.

Or you can choose the pub as a cheap option for a pre-show meal too, being near the Assembly Halls Theatre.

Wetherspoons superfan John Hunt, who has been to 900 of the chains, even said the Opera House was one of his favourites.

When asked, he said: "The opera house one, they still had opera once a year in there.".

We've visited some other amazing Wetherspoons around the UK as well.

Folkestone's Samuel Peto is near the beach, and in a former church.

Or you can go to Victoria Pavilion in Ramsgate, the world' biggest Wetherspoons.
