The Counting House in Glasgow City

Absolutely fantastic location!! Loved 😍 it.

Great pub in the heart of Glasgow

It is a lovely looking pub but the food was very poor We had a traditional breakfast and it was cold the bacon was well charred tasted burnt the only good bit was the slice of toast.This was the worse breakfast I've ever had. The following day we went to St John Moore weatherspoon and it was a really good breakfast well cooked and tasty. I think some weatherspoons need to refresh the cooking procedures as food needs to be properly cooked and be correct temperatures as a lot comes out to the table tepid.

Nice place to drink a beer!!!! Amazing place!!!

Dropped by on the way to Queen St Station without realising the was a Wetherspoons (sacre bleu) but pleasantly surprised. No Queuing!!!!! It was like a normal bar!! Very beautiful space as well, an old bank. This one gets commendation.

Everything except the atmosphere was very bad... dirty tables, bad burnt food, bad service...

Eggs benadict was great, as was service

pish spoons, crystal palace and john moore are better

As for the food it's a weatherspoons we all know what you get, as for the place it's a great venue. Right in the middle of town and although it was busy, service is fast and efficient.

Busy spoons near Queen Street. Gets busy.r

Good food at very reasonable prices 👌

Best and most affordable pub in Glasgow. It used to be a bank.

The Counting House, currently a restaurant, was originally a palace, then a bank, and now you can eat well and have a nice time there. The place is very crowded and liked by both local residents and tourists. You can eat and drink well here and enjoy the decor rich in exclusive exhibits.

Can't beat a spoons. Here at dinnertime so was extremely busy but still managed to get seated. Everything was as expected in spoons. Never disappoints

Not a good experience. It was far too overcrowded, to get in and out of our seats it meant briefly blocking the throughway, two rows of tables, there was no space to get in and out of the seats on the opposite side of our table. The food, well, one of the worst meals we've ever had, I ordered ham egg and chips, everything was cold, my partner's fish, the batter was so bad , overcooked, to the extent that the fish was actually half the size. The whole place is an accident waiting to happen.

A standard Spoons in a gorgeous building. There's a ton of tables but due to location in city centre and so close to Queen Street station it's often difficult to find an empty table. Food and drinks are decent and varied as expected from Spoons all at a decent price

You get what you want in the Counting house......it's cheap and cheerful but good quality too......you can tell that because it's always busy.........great for a wee steak and wine nite........it's just being refurbished too so looking forward to next visit!!Still great and still busy... nuff said.

My friends and I were going inside to meet with people and to mostly sit down cause we were walking for a while. But on the way there one of my friends foot was hurting from her high heel so we helped her on the way there however as soon as we stopped the bouncer said that she was drunk and instantly refused cause we helped her walk. We were telling him that her foot was sore cause she had been wearing it for hours which he then responded with “other girls were wearing heels too and there feet weren’t hurting so how is hers”.

Ok, for a quick drink but pot luck getting served at bar.

Lovely building, standard spoons. Had two pints, first was awful, second nice. Service a bit slow

Brilliant place to start your night out, amazing meals at Reasonable Prices

Welcome late lunch after flying up for family get together served by friendly Halloween attired staff in lovely old bank setting - happy Friday ambience 😊

Very busy but quick service, used the app, didnt have any food

A really nice pub. You can find anything there.

Excellent breakfast and service.

My friend and I recently visited Wetherspoons for some food and drinks. I ordered both, but when my drink arrived, the server asked for my ID. That’s when I realized I’d forgotten it, so I apologized and explained. The server was understanding and said my friend could have the drink since she had her ID, which was perfectly fine with me. However, a ginger boy came over with my friend’s drink and rudely asked for our IDs again. When I explained I didn’t have mine, he aggressively snatched the drink away without a word. I then politely asked if I could get a refund, and he snapped, “No, you can’t. You shouldn’t have ordered a drink with no ID.” His tone was unnecessarily rude and condescending, like he was trying to make a scene. An older woman at the table next to us even commented after he left, saying how ridiculous he was being. I’m 24 and it was an honest mistake, but his attitude was completely uncalled for. It was especially disappointing after the first server had been so polite and understanding. His behaviour left a terrible impression and ruined the experience.

To order you have to download the app. 🥴 laborious. The atmosphere is very nice, but very, very well attended.

Good pub but dearer because it's a city centre location.

Busy pub but with a wide choice of beers, and real ales reasonably priced for a City centre venue. Service faster and more efficient than most 'Spoons'. Wide selection of food also very reasonably priced.

Nice pub, cheap and well located

Very busy. Great prices. Good food.

Poor service daughter was there with her friends charged her for the alcohol then asked for id which she forgot then told her to leave the premises pubs can’t sell alcohol unless they look at the id but this place think they can then when it’s purchased they can ask and if they don’t have it get told to leave now if they believe my daughters not 18 or over then she shouldn’t be aloud to buy anything alcohol related and when I called to make my point I get the phone hung up on me by the manager so I’m thinking a wee call to trading standards will be made this week

Great breakfast and coffee. Good price

What a busy place!!!! Initially, I did not get the food I requested ,however, this was corrected promptly

Myself and husband had come to Glasgow for a visit and popped in for breakfast.

Great beer choice but in general service is terrible. Plus I hate giving the tosser who owns it any of my hard earned cash.

The usual noisy place but extremely popular.

1 star, staff need to be taught not to hold the glass near the area that customers drink from (real ale). This is basic stuff.

Standard spoons Stunning building and location. Very slow service. Very standard

Very busy place nearly all the time ,great atmosphere, will visit again when in Glasgow

Good priced food and drink,very busy

Very busy, as usual. Ordered food and drink on app. No long wait for either. Friendly staff. Gone here lots of times, never had any complaints.

Food,service,atmosphere excellent.

Good hotel, brilliant staff. We were well looked after.

Not a favourite but sometimes can't be avoided!! I personally wouldn't eat the frozen food options but tbf plenty of other patrons seemed quite happy. The place is just too big to have much of an atmosphere, just very loud but better in the afternoon. The staff are not good at busy times, nobody seems to be coordinating things and the wait is tiresome. Ok for the occasional quick drink but definitely not a whole night out option.

Beautiful building and a perfect location. Breakfast was cooked quickly and was served promptly.

One of Tim's best established properties

Beautiful architecture and great place to hang out with friends

Afternoon tea is also a good place

One of the busier pubs in the franchise, so it can be quite busy and the tables are rarely cleaned between sittings. Food and drink at spoons prices makes it worth a visit at a push though

Lovely building inside. Food the same. A hit or a miss

Lovely place to go for a bite to eat and a few drinks. Love the decor and the paintings on the walls, especially the one of Mary Queen of Scots. Food is lovely and atmosphere is nice and not too loud. Will definitely be back!

A really lovely Spoons. Very busy with tourists like us. Same great quality as always.

we were disappointed when told “no time for wordsearch” just because if was 1:05AM and they were “closed”. why have wordsearch and Crayons if there’s no time?

No music, just people and a variety of beers. Lovely.

Great brunch,loads of choice & fast service

Very busy and loud pub with friendly vibe. Mostly younger crowd. Wide selection of beer on tap at very reasonable prices. Basic pub food, but good and reasonable price. Good location on George Square.

Quality Spoons, historic building with Spoons prices right by the station in the heart of Glasgow

Very busy but great quick service and food was lovely and hot! Great prices too. Always my pub stop when i am in Glasgow! I never ever not go when I am there.

Impressive architecture, good value for money, fast service but you should know that you have to place orders on your phone... Hot chocolate to avoid at all costs, filled with water

Whetherspoons. Came myself with 17 & 7 year-old. Was very busy as didn't realise football was on. Visited lunch time and managed a table. Ordered via the app and delivered quick enough. Nothing special. Place was cold with all the doors open.

Cheap and good breakfast! Would recommend any time!

An amazing place despite always being very busy. Great atmosphere

Ask for their separate Malt Whisky menu 🥃

Syrup content of Pepsi max must be turned to minimum, it's absolutely tasteless

Great spoons. Very busy but served quickly.

Food is excellent however the service to order food and drink is slow. Staff are very friendly but could do with more of them.

Great value and impressive building in nice location overlooking the square.

Beautiful building (as is with wetherspoons) rapid food service with drinks to follow.

Got patched from Single End because we were 20 mins early for our reservation, but that's for another review. ( I'm not standing in the street for 20 mins when your 35% full ya 🚀) So Wiffy and I knew where to go and get sorted out for breakfast. Tbh, the food wasn't as warm as I'd like it, and the eggs were left under the lamps for too long, so they had baked. However, the service, as always, was spot on, especially as the card payments were offline, and it was a que of app welding " who carries cash these days?" Complainaints 🙅‍♀️🙅. I had cash, so it's all good 👍.

Great location , lovely historic building, food and drink fantastic value.

A beautiful pub, wide space, and with low prices for the Ford and beer, you can find a beer pint for 3 pounds. Also they have a good variety of beers and plates. The exterior and interior are remarkable. Go and enjoy. I find it in my last day, it is only the sad part

My wife and I called here for an early dinner whilst waiting to get a train from Glasgow Queen St. station. The place is massive and was rammed but we just about managed to get a table for two. We ordered food and drinks on the app. and were amazed when the food was delivered in less than 5 minutes with drinks following shortly afterwards. We have visited many Wetherspoons in lots of different places. This has to rate as one of the best we have ever visited. Food was hot and tasty, service was fast and friendly and there were quite a few members of staff clearing and cleaning tables, an area often neglected in many Wetherspoons. Based on this visit we can highly recommend.

Food was good can hardly heat really busy

JD Wetherspoon has become so bad that I always leave with a clear "remember why you shouldn't go there" in mind. Problem is that sometimes you forget, or you are in a hurry..In this case, I got a burger who's patty and also buns were charcoal black. I asked for another one "because it was badly burned" and I got the same buns and different patties. I eat the latter left the buns, there is one slice of tomato and 2-3 shreds (approx. 10g) of salad in the burger. The diameter of the patty is less than 10cm, and the thickness less than 2cm. It is just ridiculous..Some pathethic (did not count them) fries nearby for decor. Just BAADD.

People of various culture/origin and none the less... taste... Buzzing positive environment.

Very good atmosphere. Nice service, tasty food - all this is associated with The Counting House - JD Weterspon

Busy Saturday afternoon. Lots of dirty tables with plates etc. Quick service at the bar.

This was our go to place for breakfast whilst staying at the Travelodge just a few streets away. It's a huge place (an old bank if I remember) and has been there years; I remember having drinks in there back in the 2000s after uni when I was studying at Glasgow Caledonian. It's your typical Wetherspoons. Service was quick and food was as expected. No issues. Always quite busy as you would expect.

You know what your getting with a Wethers, but the building is amazing. A large breakfast, great for the price... and unlimited coffee ☕️

Be sure to visit The Counting House when in Glasgow

Excellent venue and great prices

Busy place however drink was good value.

Great location, lovely historic building. Must be the Friday night rush but just had thee most awful American cheeseburger. Cold, unmelted cheese, burger roll rock hard, but cold food is the worst thing imo. Disappointing.

Le cadre et l’emplacement avec la vue sur Georges Square déjà valent le détour. Notre fils nous avait recommandé d’y prendre le petit déjeuner. Nous avons suivi sa recommandation et nous n’avons pas été déçus. Quel moment magique ! Quel délice ! Le Scottish breakfast est délicieux et il existe en version petite faim ou grande faim 😉 Mon homme s’est même laissé tenter par un porridge bien chaud et bien compact. En plus c’était le jour de mon anniversaire, inutile de dire que la journée commençait bien. A d’autres endroits Oban et Stirling, j’ai eu l’occasion de tester leurs burgers et pizzas, classiques mais bons.

One of the best pubs in Glasgow... when its not crowded!

Very big and busy pub 😁 crazy place, good prices in centre

My friend recommended here as a nice place to go and I was pretty underwhelmed. Mediocre pub food that you either order at the bar or on the app. Understaffed so I didn't get my can of fizzy drink until after I was done with my meal. We mostly had to clear our own table because there wasn't enough staff and you could see dishes piling up all over the restaurant. Really loud, though the building is pretty and the booth was ok. It was really busy, but I'd probably only come back because they have patio seating. Definitely not a place I would go to regularly.

Friendly and helpful staff and good food and a relaxed atmosphere

On visiting Scotland with Lochs &Glens coaching holidays we always visit "Spoons" as part of our holiday as they provide affordable food and drink with always a nice friendly service staff...

Average Wetherspoons, pretty standard in other words, and exactly what you'd expect in the centre of a great city.

Had small veggie breakfast, everything stoatin' and tepid, horrible. Try Greggs over the road, at least it will be edible

The place was packed, and the staff were quite busy. Once we figured out that all orders were through the app, we got our food and drink in no time. The food was cheap and you got what you paid for

Really incredible pub. Beautiful old building in a great location in the corner of Queen St and George Square. The prices are incredible (I paid £2.01 for my pint). As a result, the place is always busy. These photos were taken at 3 pm on a Saturday afternoon. Well, worth a visit.....you'll love it!!

Always busy but always get served quiet quickly Great oub

Went in for a quick meal when it was quiet early evening . Very pleasant. Lovely staff . Served quickly with a nice smile and meal ws served within a few minutes. Couldnt be any better. Thank you Weatherspooons

I used to go here frequently. When my niece and her partner were visiting I took them there to enjoy the architecture of the former bank which still looks grand over some drinks. The bar service was abysmal. I waited, wallet in hand and looking alert, next to a guy trying to pay for food with cash. We were both frequently ignored over young women coming straight to the bar. After about 20mins of this I gave up. If I was the other guy I would have just walked out without paying. I doubt I would return as Glasgow has much better places to eat and drink. Shame because I love the building.

Good meeting place. App didn't work, as always, no music, food is expected and drinks reasonable.

It's a Wetherspoons so no music, no atmosphere but it's cheap.

Enjoyed this one but very crowded inside but have plenty seating Airer outside very big space but I don't think I would go here again not my thing being stuck in a very crowded place ❤️🌹
