| I was in here with Big Dave last night, and there were four beers from Butcombe and four from Hawkshead Brewery. There must have been about 15 handpumps in all. All the beers I had were good, but the New Zealand Pale Ale from Hawkshead was stellar (and I don't mean Artois). jagsfan - 8 Feb 2012 21:05 |
| Stunning buidling inside with a large glass dome above the bar and numerous marble statues around the edge of the very large open room area. The beer selection could have been slightly better, (no micros from Scotland) which for Wetherspoons was a surprise, however, the staff were very informative about the beer they did stock and were very very friendly. One of the best Wetherspoons I have ever visited. No complaints and would certainly include this in any walk around the city centre. SouthYorkshireman - 21 Sep 2011 21:18 |
| Superb building converted from an old bank i believe, very ornate and spacious inside with plenty of seating in little individual rooms. Now the bad part ale suppers; service slow and surly, had a pint of Houston stout ok but not exactly thrilling, a lot of the clientele are ropey buggers to say the least, on the plus side though £1.96 for the beer. Wetherspoons you either love their pubs or..............! nokegthanks - 19 Jul 2010 20:41 |
| For a Wetherspoons, not too bad. I had lunch there before Christmas. Good food, despite slow service. A glass of Steaming Santa from RCH was tasty. Later the place got crowded with office festive lunches and shoppers, with their families. jbsjazzer - 22 Jan 2010 10:05 |
| Housed in a magnificent baroque building in George Square, I found this to be a not too bad Wetherspoons. Beer quality, I had a special made for JDW by Strathaven Brewery, was excellent and the service was actually quite slick considering it was a busy early evening. Down side is that JDW in Scotland no longer take CAMRA discount vouchers. Entering up the stairs from St Vincent Place you come to a big almost perfectly cubic room with a large square centrally placed island bar lit by a glass dome far above. All around the walls are corinthian columns and on the architrave are statues. The walls are mainly decorated with pictures of Scots worthies of the last few centuries and some framed bank notes reflecting its former life as a bank. There are numerous alcoves off the main room giving space for a quieter drink. Not many neds or suchlike in there when I visited so I was pleasantly surprised and I say 7/10. oldboots - 29 Sep 2009 18:29 |
