Came here for a small breakfast and free coffee refills. The free refills were nice, but the coffee was the kind you serve yourself from a machine so it tasted okay. The food tasted like it was reheated or fast food. Nothing special. Service was fine, but our server had a bit of an attitude. I give this place 3 stars because there was nothing that stood out about it and the food wasn't great. I'm sure it is great place to hang out during night time for drinks. read more

My wife and I were in Glasgow last week when we stumbled across The Counting House while visiting George Square. Actually, it was hard to miss thanks to their huge outdoor seating area. We found ourselves here more than a few times after sightseeing. The places packs them in, so they must be popular with the locals. We were there for the drinks and weren't able to try the food because we had dinner reservations all nights. They had a huge selection of beers and wine. You can either order at the bar or use the QR code and have your items delivered to your table by using its table #. It's definitely a fun time with a cool vibe in a great location, and we will visit again and recommend it to all. Slàinte Mhath read more

There are plenty of indoor and outdoor seats. They were out of Chambord. Wanted to try the new Jammy Dodgers shot. I got the spicy wings with chipotle mayo. The sauce was oddly sweet. We got a pitcher of the Purple Rain and put in 4 shots of rum. It was very easy to drink. It's always a good deal at Spoons. read more

came here with my colleagues after our works Christmas dinner for a few drinks, half our group went in ahead, when we got to the door the bouncers stopped us and accused me of being refused entry at the st Vincent place entrance when we had come to counting house from Mosob on Dundas street behind Queen Street Station. They Said the person who got refused was wearing green shorts and it was definitely myself (I was wearing black jeans and a green shirt) the two bouncers were extremely rude too me and my colleagues absolutely would never recommend or come back. read more

Classic Scottish Pub atmosphere, but huge in an old stately bank. The location on George's Square, the huge bank domed ceiling, mixed with smaller wood paneled rooms full of portraits of James watt, Lord Clyde, Lord Kelvin, Sir Walter Scott, etc mixes well with the worn upholstered chairs, high and low wood tables, booths, and huge center bar where you put your order in to be delivered to your numbered table. I'm not a huge fan of Scottish food (sorry, except a good fish and chips), so 4 instead of 5;). Devoured my warm chocolate cake and ice cream though! read more

I guess Wetherspoons is a big thing in Scotland, because it seems like wherever we went there was one, ha. That said, we came here for breakfast twice since it was around the corner from our hotel and way cheaper for breakfast than the hotel was offering. The pub itself is gorgeous with an ornate ceiling from its former life as a bank. Very spacious, and pretty busy both days we went (both Saturday and Sunday morning). I wish I could import the Counting House back to New York. The idea of rolling out of bed and going to the pub for breakfast is very appealing. The first day my husband and I both got the Scottish breakfast the first day - I the traditional, he the large - and the large was an absolutely obscene amount of food. Both were more than fairly priced and delicious - I think the whole tab including coffee might have been about 16 pounds. When we go out for breakfast at home it's more than that, even when you take the conversion rate into account, ha. The second day we both partook of eggs benedict - mine with salmon, his with haggis. Both were awesome. read more

We were from out of town and looking for a nearby place to have breakfast before heading to the airport. A local pointed us to this place and I realized after seeing the menu and set up I was at the sister location of The Booking Office in Edinburgh just a few days before. I was happy with my mail there so I expected the same here, sadly that was not the case. My Smoked Salmon Benedict came out very quickly but my fellow diners had to wait on their food. Two others got their food more than five minutes later and they said it was room temperature and somethings even cold. My other friend didn't get her simple avocado English muffin until I went to inquire what happened to it. Not a good experience here. read more

Meh, this place is okay. I came here on a Sunday and it was very crowded. Was able to find a table but it was terribly dirty and didn't get cleaned the entire time we were there. Ordering at the bar took forever as the guy who was manning the POS terminal where I was waiting with a few other people just disappeared and never came back. Once the order was placed, the food came rather quickly and a guy who worked there was nice enough to give me a lot of napkins so I could clean off the table to some extent since it was sticky with the spilled beer of the prior occupants. The food was mediocre. It wasn't offensive but it was a notch below what you'd expect at an Applebees in the US. The building itself was very cool. Apparently it was an old bank so it was very grand looking and I enjoyed that aspect, but I don't think I'd come back. I prefer clean places when I am eating and this place was just kind of grungy. read more

Great location and the building is fantastic. If you can get a window seat looking out on to George's Square, you will have some wonderful people watching. The prices are really good for the area, and you will have fun with the crowd in there. I would have given it 5 stars if they had Scotch Pies, which seems to be harder and harder to find in Scotland now. read more

Another Wetherspoons establishment, the Counting House is a refurbished Bank of Scotland turned restaurant in Glasgow. It's close to George Square across the way and down the street from Jamie's Italian. I made my way over here to meet up with the rest of my tour group who had dinner here for a quick drink. I ordered a half pint of Strongbow cider and they only charged me £1.40. Not bad! I can't say much for the food as I didn't dine here but from the looks of things, the plates are gigantic and cheap. The place was full to the brim when I arrived and it was humming with chatter from the patrons. I really liked the decor and some of my friends had dinner in a converted bank vault. Super cool. This place is great for large groups. Most Wetherspoons have extensive menus with affordable pricing so if that's what you're looking for, check it out. read more

It may be cheap but that's where it stops. I should never have ordered food. When it says fish and chips it could be any fish. Fish was flat and hard battered not edible. Peas were cold but chips were edible. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. Place around the corner does haddock in tenants batter for a couple of pounds more. read more

A Wetherspoon chain restaurant located by St George Square and Queens Station. Great prices for pub grub and breakfast. Unlimited self serve coffee and tea. Order online and they will bring your food to the table. Nice open decor in a historic building. I always recommend this place to stop and get settled if you're just getting off of the train! read more

I'm and unashamed fan of the Counting House. The huge glazed dome above the bar is stunning and you can even take a peek into one of the bank vaults from the days before it was a pub! It's full of interesting architectural features and is perhaps more interesting than the usual Wetherspoons venue for that. I've not eaten at this branch, but its a favourite pre-dining meet-up spot or a good place to rest the weary feet after some serious retail therapy. Yesterday was a combination of both and on a dreary cold Wednesday afternoon the place was packed to the rafters. My favourite spot is the traditional pub booths (through the main door from George Square and turn right) where we can spread out our bags and have our own wee private spot. As usual with Wetherspoons pubs, the ales are well kept and very keenly priced. Yesterday they seemed to be doing a roaring trade in jugs of cocktails, a sure sign that the festive season is almost upon us. I'm not saying this place is the best Glasgow has to offer, but it has a bit of character and it won't break the bank! PS The cheap and cheerful pub grub menu includes vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. read more

The Counting House - Proper glass - British Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

The big Wetherspoons sitting right on George Square in the centre of Glasgow. That in itself is all you essentially need for this review! It's a WETHERSPOONS! You either take that as a bad thing, or a good thing - nothing I can say will change your mind. Having said that, this is one of the better incarnations of that chain of pubs. It's an old bank building, so there is at least a bit of character to the interior, with it's giant pound notes and huge safe. The range of beers, ales and lagers is impressive and ever changing, and the prices are as low as you would expect from a chain pub. I can see why people don't like the big chain pubs, but honestly, there's nothing inherently wrong with this place. It's not somewhere I would stay for lengthy periods of time, it does have that usual lack of atmosphere that permeates a Wetherspoons pub. It is what it is. I'll happily pop in for some cheap breakfast and a coffee, equally, I'll pop in for a cheap pint of real ale and move on. Very much the definition of "it's awright" for me. read more

If you ever end up at The Counting House, the best procedure is to look up at the ceiling for a minute or so, revel in it's splendour, then walk back out the door. As a drinking hole, despite the attractive interior it somehow feels even duller than your average Wetherspoons, and even when packed to the rafters as it often is, has less atmosphere than the surface of the moon. read more

The Counting House - from official website - British Near Me - Glasgow, GLG

Classic Wetherspoons. One of the many in Glasgow Cheap booze with reduced prices on selected liquors. Good foreign beer selection and a wide changing varieties of real ales. Good wine selection as well. Food is microwave-in-the-bag type of preparation. It is reasonably priced and filling but it is exactly the same menu across the country. The standard Wetherspoon policy of "No Music" means that conversations are easily held and no televisions makes these pubs a welcome respite during sporting event days. The decor is astounding in this Glasgow landmark. Wetherspoons restored this building after the interior had been covered up by its previous inhabitants for decades. The domed ceiling is worth a look and this pub has replaced the Corinthian as the most architecturally beautiful drinking establishments in Glasgow The central location of this pub (close to Central and just outside Queen St) makes it a great place to meet up before an evening. Make you state where you will be before the evening starts since find people in the myriad of rooms can be difficult. It will pack out early, but if you hang about tables will become available as the crowd changes out. The service normally is quick and efficient despite the crowds around the bar, however, the last time I was there they had changed the staff and the first-timers were having me spell Pilsner. Hopefully, they are back up to speed. The premises were previously owned by the Bank of Scotland. The building was designed for the bank by J T Ruchead, between 1867 and 1870. His design, in the Italian Renaissance style, set the tone for the west end of George Square. read more

Taking a tour around Glasgow for the day, a friend and I decided to pop in to The Counting House for some cheap eats. He had been here before, but this being my first time, I was intrigued to say the least. The building itself is grand and gorgeous, the seating is a bit sporadic; the chairs and tables seemed to be just as old as the building. The scene on a Monday afternoon was that of an old mans pub, literally with loads of pensioners and woman with prams. Luckily we found a seat among the crowd and had a look over the menu. The strange thing about this place is that once you decide what you want to eat, you then need to go to the bar to order your food as there is no table service. Once your order is placed though, the food arrived at our table with lightning speed. My friend ordered the Tennessee burger that came with a honey BBQ sauce, and I ordered the 6 oz gourmet burger that came with Stilton and bacon on it. The prices really can't be beat for what you get. For just over £6, you can get a burger, chips, onion rings and a soft drink. Not too shabby when my friend and I try to eat on a university students budget! The only real negative about the burger was the bun. After a few bites, the bun completely fell apart so much that we both ate our burgers with a fork and knife. All in all, not a bad place if you're looking for a quick bite in town on the cheap. The food menu is quite extensive and the booze menu is even bigger! I'm sure my friends and I will be back! read more

Ordered some breakfast before we hit the shops. The service is quite slow which was surprising given that it was pre lunch. Our hot drinks were finished before the food arrived. No veggie sausage left so they replaced it with potato scones which were well received so that got an extra star in my book. read more

Probably my favourite of the City Centre Wetherspoons. It's in a good location, with a pleasant interior. The menu for both food and drink is the same as any other Wetherspoons but I like this one because the bar is really big with decent service. They also have a new touchscreen Poker table device that I really fancy getting my hands on.. read more

This is one of the Wetherspoons chain of pubs which is always a favourite of mine. I love this bar because of the theme they have kept throughout. Im not sure about exactly what the building used to be (I have been told many varying stories) but in keeping with 'The Counting House' there are various enlarged old bank notes and other money related features. The best thing by far though is the fantastic ceiling design. This has to be the Cistine Chapel of Glasgow pubs. As with all Wetherspoonws establishments the prices are cheap and the food and drink pretty good and standard. The bar is huge which really helps since the place is always packed full of people. My only gripe with this pub is that it has plenty more space to put tables into. I know that Wetherspoons like to leave plenty of space around the bar, but most nights you will find disappointed punters who cant get a seat. read more

Because you cannot give zero stars. I am a big fan of Wetherspoon across the U.K. I think their menu is a good value and generally the food is not bad. This breakfast was horrible. I sent the dish back the first time because the eggs were set solid. It is clear they had been fried at about 7 AM and then just left to set in a steam table. The white was rubbery and the yolk just a solid mess. When they brought out the new plate the eggs were exactly the same!! I took a fork of the beans and they were not even room temperature. They came out of the can and on to the plate. I sent these back but that did no good. The were still luke warm. I love the building which is a lovely old bank. The rooms are beautiful. Go here for a beverage but DO NOT ORDER FOOD. read more

A year ago if you had asked me what I thought about a Weatherspoon's pubs I would of told you "no chance I am going there". In my mind they were neddy and soulless with no atmosphere and sticky floors. This was all based pre-conceptions and rumours of what I thought the places were like and not really on any real facts. I now realise they have their place in the pub market and I have no issue going to one for a pint. Focussing on this one in particular, it is huge in size and its probably easy to lose your friends in. I was in a few nights ago and it was a mixed crowd, some dodgier looking folk but also a fair share of less dodgy looking folk out for a pint. There is no music, but it was still noisy inside with the volume of punters. So far it is probably a 2 on the yelp start scale, but what pushes this up is the masssssssive beer collection and the cheaper pricing. They have tonnes of imported unusual bottle options and loads of craft beers on draft. The pricing is also ridiculous. A can of Sixpoint crisp lager was 99p.... Yes 99p. This is unheard of these days... I could get ten for tenner? In many pubs nearby I would be luck to get two beers for a tenner these days. So good beer, cheap prices, sadly no music and a "interesting" crowd not somewhere I would recommend you go, but also I would not warn you off if you wanted a cheaper night out drinking good beer. read more

I don't don't enjoy coming to a JD Weatherspoon's bar, this one may be one of the biggest in glasgow but as the saying goes bigger is not always better. Some of the good points are cheap booze and cheap ping cuisine, (ping it's ready). The bad points is that it can take time to be served if you could find a server, there is no music just the ear drum busting noise of people talking, shouting & laughing. The atmosphere here sometimes reminds me of when you go to a friends house and get a cup of tea and No BISCUIT, only to see a box of miniature hero's on the coffee table and find out later that it was a sewing kit. read more

I'm still a bit sketchy about weatherspoons bars but each time I am reasonably surprised. A quick drink after dinner on a Saturday night and it's safe to say it was decent. Austen M had a craft beer and I had glengone whiskey and it came to like 3 quid! Saturday night has a bit of a mixed crowd majority older. Down points it has no music and not much atmosphere but if your with a group of pals it's generally alright. The staff aren't always the friendliest and always seem to have a shocked when you ask for ask for a craft beer or an Ale! They also have some form of Quing system but nobody know what it is! The decor is very basic with lots of tables and chairs, the building itself is massive inside and out and always bouncers on the doors but you get what you pay for and its cheep as chips! read more

It's a Wetherspoons... what more can you expect? Sometimes you just want a cheap drink and some alright food, and when that's the occasion a Wetherspoons is a good shout. As far as Wetherspoon's go, I'd say The Counting House is one of my least favourites. Despite it's grand interior, it's often bursting to the brim with punters and as a result takes an age to get served. This is true even at quieter times, which is a bit of a hassle when you want a quick bite. The food is pretty basic, but the value for money is decent with meals often costing around £6 and some come with a free drink. It's served relatively quickly and the selection has been improving over the recent months, with the addition of "small plates" that make a great snack/alcohol buffer. The range of beer on offer is one of it's only redeeming factors - being stupidly cheap - but they very rarely have the ridiculously low price cocktail pitchers that I like available which is a big downside. It's not the worst I've been to, but I've definitely been to better. read more

It's Usually more Beer than Food for me, but... What's a man got to do to get a lunch date nowadays? They all screwed their noses up at me, their lips curling into perfect sneers, as if they would rather have lunch with Katie Hopkins! "No" and "sorry" they said (they didn't mean it one jot, of that I am sure). "I've got to clean the toilet", one laughed and when you're blown out for the sh*t stick you know things are bad. Well, their odious snobbery is misplaced in my opinion. But after my lonesome £5.50 burger and drink combo deal (with a BrewDog This.Is.Lager) I started to feel strangely content and the love returned for my pretentious friends. Everyone in here - the students, workies, ladies who lunch, codgers, tourists and business folk - seemed to convey the same contentment. There's no music, no televisions breaking the news and I turned off my phone (yip, you heard). In fact, you're almost hermetically sealed from the outside world, where the beer's good and cheap and you don't have to acknowledge the dreadful state of World affairs. Well, I'll have a crafty drink to that and on the odd occasion a semi-decent burger. It's just a pity the service isn't quicker, but that's part of the price we pay for cheap tasty ale :-/ read more

I know it's part of a chain, but that hasn't stopped this place from being one of my favorite places to go. As default meeting and last-minute places go, you could do a lot worse. There's something for everyone on the menu, it's reasonably priced, and you get a good amount of it. I haven't been to any other Wetherspoon's pubs, but I understand that this is a pretty standard menu. I've been for lunch on a fairly slow weekday and for dinner and drinks on a busy Friday night and don't have any complaints about either. It was a little difficult to find a table on the Friday night, but it didn't take too long for one to open up. They also get bonus points from me for the coffee. When I asked for a cup of regular coffee, that's what I got. I didn't get a blank stare or a baffled, "uh, what kind?" from the bartender, and it was real coffee - not that watered-down espresso that somehow ended up being labeled "Americano." read more

Wonderful building. Awful awful food. I'm willing to concede that our experience was down to bad timing but there is no excuse for what was served. The Big Scottish breakfast was ordered at 11.45am, the breakfast menu ends at midday. Despite that it was clear that the food had been sitting under heat lamps for at least an hour. The black pudding was two dried out discs of bland, the square sausage had the consistency of ceiling tiles, and the potato scone was dripping in the grease it had obviously been lying in. The beans were that thick consistency they go after too long under a heat lamp, the fried eggs were clearly on the brink of drying up completely and even the toast was cold. It was a perfectly produced plate of bad food. I'd much rather they'd have said, despite the timing, that they wouldn't serve us the food because of the quality and have us re-order from the lunch menu. Why anyone thought it acceptable to plate up that food and serve it is beyond me. read more

It is one of the larger bars in the Weatherspoons group. Unfortunately it is one of the proofs that bigger is not better. The service in here is terrible. Staff just wander around and don't seem to serve anyone in any particular order. The beer is very hit and miss, They get a good selection on the cask lines but you can't guarantee that they are going to taste any good. On the past couple of occasions when i have been in the wifi has not been working and the management just fob it off as it isn't their problem to deal with. The place is a always a big let down and the only reason I am giving them 3 stars is that they have recently added craft beer to the fridges in the shape of bottles of Brewdog's Punk IPA, and cans of six point beers from Boston. Get the finger out people and serve your customers in some sort of decent time. read more

One of the many Wetherspoons in Glasgow, but probably my favourite one! I know most Wetherspoons are just the same old sort of thing, but I quite like this one because of the beautiful interior, and I quite like the busyness of it. Also, it's a Wetherspoons that does my favourite pasta ever, and not all of them do it; Torn Chicken, Chorizo and Spinach Serpentini Pasta mmmmmm. It's got a great location, with it being on George Square, which does pretty much guarantee it to be full at any point, but I don't feel this distracts from the service the bar staff provide. It's a great wee place for cheap food and cheap booze and if you're struggling for somewhere to go in town, pop in here. And try the pasta! read more

This is one if the better Wetherspoons in Glasgow (and there are several dozen to chose from, nearly). It is always busy (which is a good sign) and as a result the atmosphere is good. Food is of a good standard and the price of booze is good for a City Centre. The ideal place to start the evening before moving on to more exotic locations. read more

Another Wetherspoons-owned haunt, the Counting House absolutely packs them in. I can't say I care for it much. Its central location - right on the corner of George Square - means that it's always absolutely chocka, especially when you can't think of anywhere else to eat and decide to give it a go. Bad idea. I can no longer count the number of times my friend has decided he wouldn't mind a pint here, and we've proceeded to take a locomotionesque tour around every nook and cranny of the place, only to find that there is not a chair to be found for love nor money. What a shame. The one time we did manage to find a place to rest our bums, however, I was less than impressed. The tap fizzy drinks were flat by the time you plonked them on the table, and the food took quite a long while to make it to us. I ordered a baked potato and tuna, thinking it was simple and therefore difficult to screw up. How wrong I was! It turned out to be just that - a baked potato, and tuna. No butter, no mayo, no dressing, and no garnish. Um, right. I don't see myself squeezing in here ever again. You're in Glasgow for goodness sake - use your imagination, turn a corner, and find somewhere with a bit of character! read more

Like a reliable chap, TCH stands as an easy meet up or good backup to other disappointments. A decent array of drinks priced well below average at other pubs, the comfortable atmosphere and the constant buzz allows this venue to thrive. Its one of many Wetherspoons but this one has a distinct character to it; with a beautiful dome ceiling above the bar and many separate nooks to snuggle with a pint and engage in hours of chatter. It can be overcrowded at times but you can at least find a spot for a 3-4 group to squeeze into before a place opens up soon enough. Good turnover and friendly staff. Mindful patrons and good selection of drinks. A definite pit stop when to & fro at Queens St. station. read more

So the ceiling is nice. Apparently banks had a big thing about their ceilings back in the day. Apart from the lofty splendor, there is nothing much special about this place. Indeed, it is just another Wetherspoons but this ones bothers me more than most. This place has so much potential to be a seriously cool boozer in a part of town crying out for one. But it falls short and we are left with rubbish beer, crap wine and no music. A great way to say that it has no atmosphere either. Extra star because of the ceiling but apart from that there is nothing speical, which is a shame, because there really should be. read more

I've read some bad reviews of this place in the past, but for me you get what you pay for in here. The building itself is really impressive and I love that the old vaults are still there from when it was a bank back in the day. The food is the usual Wetherspoons fare; cheap and cheerful. I wouldn't come here for a special occasion meal, but for a good value pub meal it does me fine. There's a much improved wine list which now includes some decent quality stuff as well as good value options. It's a good way of drinking champagne cheaply in the city centre as their bottles are much cheaper than any other city centre venues I've been in. I'm not a fan of their cocktails personally, but they are great value and seem really popular. read more

During our stay in Scotland we had happy hour at the Counting House. We ended up sharing a bowl of spicy noodles and a bowl of chili (that came with a side of yellow rice). Both items were good, but we were more impressed with the low price of the large beers. The only down side to the low price is not having table service and having to wait in line at the bar to place your food and beverage order. The setup is convenient, with a bar in the middle of the restaurant, so at least they made getting to a bartender easy. I was also excited about the decor, with its gigantic Greek columns and statues. It seemed odd to be in a Greek themed bar in the middle of Scotland, but then, they're 2,000 miles closer to Greece than where I'm from and we have Greek restaurants of our own. The place was incredibly busy, so we were lucky to get a table, regardless of how large the restaurant is. I think it's safe to safe that this place is a popular after-work spot for the locals who work or live near the city center. I'd go back again and again, but it's 4,500 miles away. read more

A somewhat less-than-average experience in every way, going to the Counting House is always disappointing, especially when you consider the location and the impressiveness of the actual building. If you fancy going here, think about why, and if you'd be better served by another establishment. It's not a good place to go for a quiet pint; there's no music, but the seating areas are cramped and uncomfortable. You're not always likely to get a seat either as, despite it being massive, there's not all that many places to sit, other than in the semi-dedicated eating area. If you're after cheap pub-grub, it does indeed do that, but the portions aren't that generous for the price; some nearby places are cheaper or around the same and provide more for your money. The food does arrive very quick; however, this means that the kitchen is run fast-food style rather than per order, so bear that in mind if it's the kind of thing that bothers you. The service is straightforwardly corporate; the staff aren't interested in talking to you or being any more attentive than the minimum, but what service they do provide is competent and professional. They have the usual large, chain-pub drinks selection, so you'll likely get what you're after, but it's at the point now where this is no longer a plus, but expected. There's no entertainment beyond people-watching, but if you manage to bag one of the few window seats on one particular side you can see out onto George Square; the view is now much lessened by the Big Wheel being in the way, unfortunately. Don't go at night unless you go early to claim seats, it gets jam-packed with an older drinking crowd; I presume mainly local office workers and visitors who don't know any better. The noise level of all the conversations can be considerable. In short, I can't really think of a compelling reason to ever go here, there's better places not two minutes walk away. read more
