Hold on a second, Wetherspoons? I mean, don’t get me wrong, it certainly makes your entire presence on this forum more understandable but you can’t genuinely be using a Wetherspoons as a benchmark can you? A place where luxuries are cut, you know the kind of 5 star luxury as music? Their entire menu is basically Iceland’s finest? I don’t think you can even get a Peroni in a Wetherspoons can you?
Bloody hell, Wetherspoons is a dive, they always stink of old people, kidney failure and stale booze. The most exciting sound in a Wetherspoons is a 30 year old fruity which is clinging on to life harder than Susan Boyle’s musical career.
Yuck.
To be honest, Wetherspoons are a great pub for ale drinkers. They rotate their casks regularly, offering new and interesting beers at great prices. Plus, their standard draft stuff is pretty good and very well priced. Pretty sure you can get a Peroni but if that’s your benchmark of a top beer your tastes need educating.
Plus, the buildings are often interesting and plenty staff.
Sure, there are problems - whilst they do have lots of new beers at good prices, they do hold the brewers over the (no pun intended) barrel!
The clientele is mixed, but I quite like that. Sure there can be some roughones but living in Glasgow, I’m not scared of people not like me!
And yes, they don’t play music. I take that as a blessing! As does my mum who wears hearing aids and has real trouble hearing in lots of bars!
Sure, I wouldn’t pick Wetherspoons as my first choice but thinking about it they don’t do bad for a large chain! I’d rather drink there than an O Neils, or a tied group serving the same beers they always serve.
But you know, keep up your weird Psycho Sonny bashing if you like.
