The counting House is a bar that you can't go wrong with, they have the best unicorn pink gin in glasgow to offer and the food is also a delight on the palate! The service is very nice and polite. Can be crowded but worth the wait if you have to !

My bag was stolen on 25 Feb between 7.30 pm to 8.30 pm. in Wetherspoon (The Counting House). After I realised, I asked for help from many staff working at that time. Unfortunately, the duty manager came to meet me and said that the CCTV does not cover my table. How inadequate for security management! My laptop was inside the bag with much research and paper for university coursework. That's very important.Furthermore, the duty manager is also reluctant to help and always repeats, "We cannot do anything for you. Please call 101 and report". I suggest that he look after the CCTV that sight at the front door. He has made it, but the answer is that "We saw some suspected but not sure" and did not allow me to sight that suspects from the video. Time flies very quickly, and I spend two more hours waiting for any update, but the duty manager seems not to appear again and speak with me.That's the worst experience for me from Wetherspoon (The Counting House): mindless customer service and purposeless CCTV security. I will not forget this experience and unwelcome service. Thank you Wetherspoon. Thank you Glasgow.

Popped in here for a spot of breakfast before doing some shopping and wasn't really impressed.I had eggs Benedict.The muffin was hard and hard to cut,the eggs were overcooked and the hollandaise sauce was bland.My mum had the standard breakfast where,although she enjoyed,it wasn't very hot.The service was good but won't be back for breakfast

It's as usual one of the historical buildings in the centre of Glasgow and opposite to the railway station and it is very crowded, staff are working around the clock

Nothing too exciting than their decor if you enjoy architecture and story-telling. You'll find some of your typical Scottish pub food here with you've guessed it- the European-Indian faves. Despite their average offerings this spot is quite popular and sells out really quickly. so dine early and stay late topping up on beverages like a Stone Fruit Cider!

I was surprised to see so many things on their menu - from fish and chips and pizza to pasta and curry. Food was good. It is not a fancy place but more of a big casual restaurant/pub.

This pub is beautiful inside, huge bar area and extremely friendly staff. Door staff were very helpful. Beer was brilliant, altogether a great introduction to Friday nights in Glasgow

Who doesn't love a Wetherspoons!? The app is really easy to use and drinks tend to come fairly quickly. I love a good breakfast! It is hard to find a table sometimes.
