  • Outstanding pub conversion

A busy Wetherspoon pub with an outside drinking area on George Square, Glasgow's civic heartland. It has up to eight cask ales, mainly featuring Scottish breweries. Designed as the Bank of Scotland's head Glasgow office by J T Rochead, it features sculptures by William Mossman and an impressive collection of paintings, drawings and photographs are displayed throughout. A bottle store in an old strong room has a good range of bottles and canned beers. Before 11am, alcohol is only served with food.

Conversion

Grade A-listed former Bank of Scotland office from 1870 in Italian Renaissance style. It has been splendidly converted into a Wetherspoon's with a magnificent, spacious former banking hall containing a glazed dome and 16 caryatids. It has a number of small rooms, and the old bank safes are still to be seen.
