Reviews
Large Wetherspoons in an old bank building, beautiful location. It was quite busy, hard to find a table despite it being Tuesday early afternoon. Affordable beers and food, although the food is usually basic and lacking quality. Had chicken "strips" that were more like little balls. Impressive selection of ales. They have a large outside seating area. Recommended for a visit during a city trip to Glasgow.
Read on Google MapsFormally the Bank of Scotland building now it's a grand weatherspoons. Absolutely beautiful inside, the safes are being used as small private rooms there's ample space all sitting under a lovely glass dome. We were made very welcome by Joe who looked after us. Would recommend The Counting House for breakfast we had 1 medium vegetarian breakfast a medium full Scottish and 2 times unlimited Coffees. All for the incredible price of a touch above £13. Incredible value !! We discussed the price over breakfast and came to the conclusion if we would of had breakfast at Costa or Starbucks it would of been that price just for the coffees. Many thanks Joe for the exceptional customer service also a big thankyou to the Chef and the rest of the team. Definitely be returning next time we are in Glasgow and would highly recommend a visit to The Counting House.
Read on Google MapsReally enjoyed this old bank pub the vaults are still here and you can walk around inside of them. Excellent choice of drinks as always and the food was amazing considering it was a bank holiday had the gourmet burger with pulled pork and a extra pattie, washed down with a pint or two of leffe. Delicious 😋
