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!

... 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?
The good spoons.
It's a purely hypothetical question though. Spoons are all trash
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.
