Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

I'm calling foul. There's no way an absolute ledge would call it "the Spoons". It's just "Spoons".
Not that I'd drink there, mind. Fucking Brexit Arms.
~~Are you a southerner by any chance?~~ Do you call it a bap, a roll? I've heard it called 'the spoons' when I was in Manchester (I'm French though, sorry about it. Proof: 'squiwwel')
It's a roll, mate. Baps are tits, WAHEY!

I like how apparently Northern Scotland and the Southern bit of Northern Ireland just don't have any bread at all. Apparently the heathens don't deserve it.
Baps are grand, don't be a muppet!
Haven't stepped foot in one since 2016, with one exception where I went for a piss and run, can't say being there brought back fond memories, bit depressing if anything.
... but there's only one spoons in their locality
There’s only one Spoons near me. It’s called Spoons.
and what if there were two, but only one good one. What would that be called?
As @silasmariner@programming.dev has already noted, there's no such thing as a "good Spoons". They're all McDonald's for beer.
But if you need to differentiate between two, you'd use their location.
That is: "Meet at Spoons by the station for a pre-town sesh, yeah?"
Or: "We were in Spoons next to Nandos. We'd had some cheeky piri piri and Damo went and shat himself when he necked a Stella! Absolute scenes, mate. Pure bants."
All wrong. The spoons is where the ledge stuff once happened.
The good spoons.
It's a purely hypothetical question though. Spoons are all trash
There's one in Newcastle where downstairs is trash and the upstairs is merely crap. They do weddings, if you want the most depressing wedding in the world.
I know the one. Nice staircase, but I'm not the target market for the over-50's disco night
