The Hengler's Circus in Glasgow City

Food is good, easy order from either the bar or the app, only let down is the atmosphere as it lacks this

If you like loud people and mediocre food, this will be fine for you.

Place was smelling like vomit and faeces

Witherspoons are great value for money,great choice of drinks and food to pick from and very good prices and also good friends staff

Met a friend for a drink, one of the nicer witherspoons I've been in, good selection of craft ales, 🍺

Smelled of vomit - hopefully not always !

Called in for breakfast very nice

Good friendly service,very busy on saturdays. Toilets on same level as restaurant

Pizza was pish and tasted like cheese on cardboard. Very very bad brothers. Do avoid

Nice and very chilled out Wetherspoons. Very relaxed and great service.

Nice roomy witherspoon, clean and quick service. Bonus is the toilets are on the same level

Nice place. But portion sizes are terrible.

It stinks there, although staff is nice.

Busy place but good place for a lunch

dude it smells so wildly bad in here plus they charge 4 for a pint of tennents meanwhile the whole establishment is giving hockey locker room mixed with guu hive back when the stage was still there

Great pint of Stella friendly staff

Good pub, a must for a drink in Glasgow. Nice Scottish atmosphere. Decent and inexpensive food.

A regular wetherspoons visitor but could only stay for one drink here. This place smells terrible like mouldy cheese.

For a Wetherspoons, this is very clean. Always enough staff. Good place to drink.

Went in after having dinner with colleagues. Busy busy place. Full of youngsters, college students.

Typical weather spoons pub cheap beer very busy staff disinterested Mobbed 23/2/24

Lovely food, large portions and affordable. Interesting pictures on the wall for my special boyfriend. Keeps him occupied for hours.

nice clean and good service and not noisy. food good

A nice quiet Wetherspoons. Clean and tidy. Service had a lot to be desired. I was the only one waiting at the bar to be served. Five members of staff behind the bar. One putting glasses away. Two chatting with each other and the other two casually walking around. Took 5 minutes to get served even with the staff looking at me a couple of times. Not impressed.

Went for 1 drink with a friend, staff member behind the bar could not be bothered. Perhaps having a bad day, who knows. And no full sugar Coca Cola, finding this to be a common problem now, odd.

Convenient location, cheap food, less atmosphere than a lot of spoons. Surprisingly good range of alcohol free beers.

There is some great servers and some rude ones. A man who worked there crushed my mum with the door while saying sorry because he could see her and knew what he was doing

Had a bouncing time with ma bros on a wee cheeky ggow night out, king arthurs round table up the back was iconic MD x

When you've got a 'Spoons like The Society Room just a few blocks away, this is clearly the 'poor relation'. Sorry...sticky menus was enough for us to sit and then leave....

The food was rotten, an American cheese burger with onions and sauce was the equivalent of a saver menu burger at mcdonalds but stale. Waited 30 minutes for chips and onion rings and the individual pizza would serve a 2 year old. Nope never again.

Traditional breakfast served promptly at the right price.

Would benefit from some background music, especially at weekends so patrons can enjoy and appreciate the atmosphere.

Relaxed atmosphere. The table and chairs were clean. They had a great selection on their hand pump beers. Some we hadn't tried before. We didn't order any food but the general consensus is the food and portions aren't decent for the price. We have never had a bad meal from any Wetherspoons. Would use this pub again if I'm in the city centre.

3 of us visited last Friday.All ordered different meals.Had to return the 3 meals.Raw chicken,cold hard chips,Fish over cooked.We have been a regular for at least 2 years.Will never go back.

Chip count relatively low, lights a bit harsh. Good location though

If you love wetherspoon, that place is for you. Always fresh beer at good prices. Always good food, nice people.

Good for a Spoon's. Not too busy. Has some atmosphere.

Lovely place,staff nice. Just need to clean tables more as mine was dirty

Typical wetherspoons..decent priced drinks etc. Good location.

Far too few staff avaliable Rory customers

Decent spoons in busy area. Only has a drink was pretty quiet on Christmas Eve evening.

Stopped for food before a concert great menu staff friendly and helpful too definately go there again

Świetna knajpa, bardzo dobre jedzenie, piwo, ceny świetne. Bardzo miła obsługa, spędziliśmy tutaj fajnie czas :)

Great pub, can be busy at times but plenty of seating and also outdoor area, staff are friendly, attentive and although busy not long waits

All in all,a very enjoyable night out.

Stopped off to get a drink and a bite. Lovely staff. Clean. Not really packed so was able to find a table. Ordered toast and came quickly with a smile from staff. Will 100% return.

Busy pub. Staff friendly. Food OK.

Didn't eat here but it was not bad for a spoons didn't even know they had them in Scotland1🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 also the loo wasn't like a mountaineering expedition

Really nice spoons. Big place too. Great atmosphere.

Cheap and cheerful. As a person with alot of food allergies, Wetherspoons is one of the few places I can eat at. Lots of natural light. Smiley polite staff. 1 star knocked off for tired interior and dirty steak knife on floor. No biggy considering the saving you're making

Traditional Wetherspoons but out of the centre so usually not too busy.

Typical Wetherspoons, the app needed updating sooner after a guest ale ran out, good table service on a busy night.

A bite to eat and a couple of beers before the theatre. Fast and polite service and at a reasonable price. I would recommend this place. Back for some food after an afternoon at the theatre. American burger and chips and a large bottle of Staropramen. Lovely!

No hemos probado la comida pero tomamos una cerveza y los mejores precios que encontramos. Tienen además variedad de bebidas y comidas.

A great atmosphere, decent food at great prices, cold beer and great staff.

Super duper spoons, spotlessly clean and the service was brilliant, this is how a spoons should be, with as always impeccable prices

Lovely pub. Decent prices for the town centre

Good atmosphere. Great food and very friendly staff

Cheap and cheerful clean tables and toilets

Die Idee, das Essen online zu ordern, während man schon im Lokal sitzt, finde ich befremdlich. Das Essen und auch die Getränke kamen dann aber recht schnell und waren okay. Der Tisch mit den Gläsern unserer Vorgänger wurde erst abgeräumt, als wir schon dort saßen. Der bekleckerte und klebrige Tisch wurde dann auch erst auf Nachfrage abgewischt. Die Bedienung hat dafür von uns kein Trinkgeld mehr bekommen, da wir ja online bestellt hatten. Die Ausstattung war zweckmäßig und schlicht und leider ohne Charme. Es war wahnsinnig laut. Wir bekommen bestimmt nicht nochmal her.

It's a Wethers. Cheap beer & sticky carpets like all the others. Great outdoor seating area on George Square. Just like St Marks Square in Venice.... except no gondolas, no pigeons and no €50 coffees.

Decent spoons , toilets are downstairs for once lol

Fantastic food for great prices

Not Wetherspoons fault at all but Sauchiehall street is dire these days. I was in the pub around 2pm and it was full of folk wearing clothes from the night before and they had faces of the condemned> If you're a tourist thinking of coming to Glasgow i urge you to go to Edinburgh

Very good fish and chips and steaks lunch offers with beer. Very recommended and good prices

This place has gone down hill very fast. Three of us wanted Pizza, No pizza’s, I ordered the chicken strips with bbq sauce with chips for a side. Second chip I put in my mouth was still frozen, half of my chips were cooked, half were frozen, like just out the bag and onto my plate! Wasn’t even going to think about the chicken. I returned the plate and told the waitress I didn’t appreciate frozen food on my plate. All she could say was sorry. Plenty other eateries around this area. Certainty will not be back!

Very tasty fish and chips with deals for lunch any hot drink is one pound and half and refillable good lication and quick service we enjoyed our lunch

Husband & I went here on Saturday night for something to eat before the ELO experience @ the KIngs theatre which was great. We both ordered chicken tikka masala as they had ran out of fish, both meals came out cold, my husband asked are we expected to eat cold chicken & the reply was it’s been pre cooked, he took the meals away & said we would get 2 fresh ones, 10 minutes later he came back with the meals, think they were reheated & not fresh, my chicken was hard & was floating in grease not curry sauce 🤮 hardly touched a drop of it apart from the Nan bread as I was hungry, the plates sat on the table for another 2 hours as nobody bothered to come & lift them, was that because they knew we would have complained again???!!! Totally unacceptable & disgusting 🤢.

Absolutely disgraceful staff !! Breakfasts terrible , didn't come out together , we had to wait 10-15 mins for one breakfast and the child's toast whilst everyone else ate !! The pregnant lady serving needs chill pills and shouldn't be working if her hormones are getting her down

Went for breakfast after a few too many the night before food came out on wrong plates nothing was correct complained to staff who said if I didn't like it to "F off back to England" after telling the biggish ogre like delinquent behind the counter we were in fact from Wales she laughed as if she knew Whales from looking in the mirror

Visited Sunday 13th July. Drinks were brilliantly priced as always, location spot on and nice warm, clean environment. However, I think there must be some sort of staff issue going in. The staff looked like the most unhappiest employees ever. Trapsing around as if the world was ending, sad faces. doing the minimum, at the minimum speed. Tim would not have been happy If I'd been a secret shopper. I think he needs a chat with the Manager. Usually poor staff morale comes from poor leadership. Compared to the spoons in Prestwick, who have the highest rating and happy, smiling, efficient staff, the difference was night and day. I've been to many spoons all over the UK, and this one had by far the most miserable staff. Maybe we just caught them all on an off day, with it being Sunday? We asked one for a large wine glass, and honestly thought it was going to push him over the edge.

Thought we would try Spoons for Sunday Morning breakfast, it was reasonably busy and we decided to order at the bar where staff were friendly and helpful enough so couldnt fault that, the service was quite slow but they did take time to check everything was ok which is not always the case. the coffee which is self serve and refillable was excellent and the full cooked breakfast whilst not outstanting and not hot enough was what I would expect for the price, the only thing I would advise avoiding at all cost is the additionaly priced Haggis, which was worse than disgusting in appearance and totally inedible I can only imagine what the Scots would think if they tried it!

Amazing staff, especially a girl named kayleigh who made my night. Great atmosphere and brilliant price, 2 pints of leffe and a jameson for 13 something... wonderful prices, phenomenal staff and just a great atmosphere. Would 100% recommend for anyone looking to travel on a budget!

Afternoon beverage I visited yesterday afternoon for few drinks but after the standard of supplied drink I left the bar tender obviously didn’t have bar experience my Morgan’s was in a tall glass no ice and filled to brim with coke which removed any taste if this is standard serving question is was there a full shot of alcohol in the glass won’t return here any time soon

Went in at 12.30pm on 03/05/23 for a quick bite before going to the King's theatre just round the corner shouldn't have bothered. Place looked nice and tidy however that's it, went to place order scampi & chips none, fish & chips none, baked potatoes none, 2 different toppings of pizza none, Wetherspoons is obviously only interested if your buying liquid refreshments and not catering for food so disappointed on this visit

Offers a pleasant interior and overall good feeling. Appears well run. I came for an evening meal and found the BBQ Chicken 11" Pizza a good option. Sound budget option and easy service when ordering from the App.

Absolutely terrible breakfast. We arrived at 8.05am placed our order and when it arrived it was all cold. We told the man and he said he’d go and see how it had happened and we didn’t see him again! Shocking customer service and a complete waste of our money as most was inedible. Who wants to eat Luke warm eggs Benedict! Won’t be back

Came to wetherspoons for dinner and some drinks, used the app which was fairly straight forward and drinks were with us in minutes, we ordered our food aswell and paid on the app which made us feel relaxed.. the food came and the staff made sure we had everything that we need.. the food was delicious, cooked fresh and just how we liked it.. the staff were so lovley aswell Thanks

Stopped in for lunch before going to the King’s Theatre. Very efficient service and good food. Value for money is excellent . Portion sizes were perfect. Even though the wine was dispensed from a tap it was acceptable.

A really good branch of 'spoons, large, bright, well laid out, lots of window seating. Fast and friendly service, breakfast was hot, delicious, and good value. Highly recommended.

We were walking around the city centre on a Sunday afternoon, and needed a toilet stop, so called in here and bought a drink. The drinks were a very reasonable cost and served by pleasant staff. For around £3.50 we got a pint of fruit...

Used this pub as a start and finish point as I was staying at a nearby hotel, and it's perfectly fine, you were met at the door and either asked to check in using the QR code or provide your details for track and trace....

As a professional English teacher 60+ to students learning English as a second language I was totally disappointed never mind embarrassed to be told by an northern Irish member of Wetherspoons staff that having one drink and ordering the second that I was slurring my words and he would not serve any further drinks ! Please avoid this establishment at all cost because if you cant talk in a Northern irish accent or broad Glaswegian they may consider you drunk !

Nice enough location with pleasant out door seating. We popped in for a quick drink and tried to order drinks via the app, one of which was “without mixer”. We were unable to do this despite being able to do it via the app on...

Rude manager and staff. Cheeky passing comments made to my friend and I who had just came for a couple of drinks. We were asked for ID at the door which we produced, sat down. Whenever we ordered our drinks we were asked to present...

Called here to avoid the rain. It’s a relatively small pub out of the main shopping area. It’s ok. Nothing really special. Disposable menus which really defeats the covid issue when you see all the fingered Wetherspoon self promoting literature on the table.

The man who served us was lovely but manager Not helpful. Breakfast was rotten, after waiting quite a bit I would expect to be hot but instead was just warm and no more on verge of been cold. Links were rubbery. Toast was cold no butter provided to start with.

The Hengler's CircusGlasgowManaged by children who are lacking the skills and expertise to do the job.Visited my local Wetherspoons on Saturday morning and wrote to complain as set out below.TO HQ: Dear Sirs.....To provide you with a profile picture, my partner and I have lived approx 1/4 mile from our local JDW for 7 years therefore are well acquainted with the bar and staff, we are both 40 something civil servants.Whilst the reason I am contacting you is the events of Saturday past, there are two prior dates which I expect gave rise to Saturday’s incident, dates which a friend of mine has already contacted you about.I set out below the sequence of events in chronological order for your information.Wednesday July 22 - I met my friends at Henglers at our usual table near the bar. We must have been stood at the table for at least an hour and a half before another friend joined us. An hour or so later, we were asked to move to a table with seating for 4 because we should not have been stood there in a group of more than 2. Having been stood there for over 2 hours, possibly nearer 3, we queried why we'd only learned of the problem long after the fact whereupon the staff member apologised advising that she had only noticed that the group was too big which we accepted as an oversight given that the bar had only opened up again and moved to another table as requested. We thereafter had a look at the social distancing signage around the bar and noted that there was no written guidance re table numbers so he asked a few of the staff about it and it was clear that most had no idea. All in all, we accepted that what had happened was an oversight, we obliged when asked to move to another table and the matter was resolved to everyone's satisfaction, or so we thought.Tuesday July 28th - Stood at our usual table having a chat over a few drinks when the “manager” approached us. Having got to know him over the years, we both initially thought that he was having a joke with us it became clear that he was not. Somewhat abruptly we were approached and asked in a rather accusatory tone "Were you two in here causing trouble last week?". We’d forgotten about the incident and asked what he meant whereupon he reminded us continuing that there would be no nonsense on his watch and that a repeat would see us forcibly removed from the bar. These were not the exact words used but we got the picture and immediately thought that he must have been pulling our legs which promoted us to ask laughingly "Are you for real?" at which he stormed off. In my late teen and early twenties, I managed bars and hotels belonging to my father before I went to University and I would never have spoken to any customer like that never mind two of my regulars, especially not when they were sat enjoying a few drinks, the phrase red flag to a bull comes to mind. We are not the type to cause trouble but that behaviour was highly unprofessional and dished out to the wrong person, could have got him a sore face. If he had something to say, it should have been said the next time that he saw us upon our arrival at the bar, not upon his arrival for a shift when we were sat enjoying ourselves, we certainly did not need our night ruined by being threatened with expulsion from our local pub. Totally unacceptable in my book, I have no idea why he felt it was appropriate to resurrect something that had happened the week before, especially when it had been resolved satisfactorily and put to bed. Saturday 8th August - My partner and I arrived at the bar hoping to have some food on our way out for the afternoon. We were stopped at the door by a female and the words "Are you two not barred?". I could not believe what I was hearing nor could my partner, clearly nor could those sat at tables near the door and a gentleman exiting, all of whom turned and stared at us. How embarrassing, the female clearly knows not the meaning of the word discretion. Whilst she didn't shout, her words were loud enough for all and sundry around us to hear. Keen to defend myself and let everyone know that I was not the type of person who gets barred from a pub, I said "You must be mistaken, I most certainly am not barred" whereupon she continued "Wait here and I will go and ask Sean". Knowing full well that I was not excluded, I let the staff member lead off and followed her to the bar where Sean confirmed that there was no exclusion in place. This prompted me to ask what this was all about and the female said that there had been an incident whereupon she believed that "we" had been barred. Unable to provide any details about any incident, I suggested that there had clearly been some miscommunication and that we should start afresh. At this, I went back to the door and said to my partner loudly "Mistaken identity", this was in a bid to clear our names with all who had taken an interest and contributed to our public humiliation by staring at us when we were stopped the door 2 minutes prior. I fully appreciate that those excluded from bars need challenged when the try to enter again in order to avid any conflict. However, I take exception to your staff member publicly embarrassing my partner and I by speaking at a volume loud enough for all around to hear given that there was no problem with entry in the first place.As you can imagine, my partner was no longer in the mood to venture inside and she said that we should go elsewhere which in the circumstances was all that we could do. That attempted visit was my partner's first visit to a bar since before lockdown therefore not only was she not barred, she wasn't even present on the 22nd July and so was humiliated in public for no reason.This got me to thinking what could possibly have happened for us to be subjected to such an unsavoury welcome on Saturday morning by a staff member who was not involved in the exchange with manager on the 28th or the original circumstances that had led to his behaviour. The only reason that I can come up with is that there has been some "bad chat" spread around the staff which consequently led to my partner and I being disrespected and completely humiliated on Saturday morning. Surely there is no other plausible reason for what happened on Saturday other than misinformation being passed to staff from management, the reason for which I cannot fathom out as a pub full of 40 something professionals would surely be welcomed by JDW in todays climate, no? Why your manager has saw fit to promote special mistreatment of regular customers by resurrecting something which was dead and buried is anyone's guess. I cannot help but feel very hard done by, all I wanted was a snack and a cup of coffee on my way into town yet was publicly embarrassed along with my partner who had nothing to do with any of this, because of loose tongues and mischief. This is not good enough I'm afraid and I am not really sure where we can go from here. I have not been back to the bar since as I am still in total disbelief at the what has happened. Ross was in the wrong behaving as he did and knowing this, he has been telling lies to the staff in a bid to cover up his unprofessional conduct with the result that my partner and I were all but publicly crucified on Saturday.HEAD OFFICE response was that we are barred, what a sham and how bizarre. Be happy to see this idiot and the others that are part of this sorry episode lose their jobs, totally shambolic. I’ve forgotten more about the Licensed Trade than these kids know between them. Other reviews on here illustrate this and funnily enough, complain to HQ and get barred, really?!

Dined here in August with: a plate of pasta Alfredo, small Wiltshire cured ham, egg and chips & a Newcastle Brown Ale (Bottle). I can reccomend this Wetherspoon because is cheap and good to eat in Glasgow.

Nos subimos al autobús HOPon - Hopof, cruzamos la calle y entramos en el restaurante para desayunar tarde. Estaba muy ocupado, pero encontramos un asiento y bot pidió un desayuno completo. Fue muy bueno, y como regalo también tuve algunos haggis para sentir la sensación escocesa de nuestra visita. Personal amable y muy buenos precios, se adaptaría a cualquiera que visite Glasgow y busque comida barata pero muy buena.
