The Crystal Palace - JD Wetherspoon — Restaurant in Great Britain

I would avoid if you're visiting Glasgow. A pretty bad experience. No hostess or anyone to greet you. I spoke to the employee at the bar (who was very nice), he said to just order at the bar and use the table number. We sat down, and took note of the table. We actually downloaded the app and ordered. However, the table number was apparently wrong (we were correct as the table number was etched in the metal plate) but the table was in the wrong place as they brought the beers to the wrong table. It looks like they at one time put a sticker over it, and that sticker was removed. When we received the food, it was very bland. My girlfriend and I aren't particularly picky eaters either. You also have to get your own condiments (in which they were limited and out of stock on basic things like mayonnaise and ketchup). The fun part, as others have mentioned, is the bathroom. Lol There was literally a t-shirt in the toilet. Urine all over the floor. A "wet floor" sign, which I would have to assume was a gag considering the place is full of urine. In each stall, the plastic unit that should hold toilet paper was knocked onto the urine soaked floor. There was only one soap dispenser, and it had no soap.

I only gave it 2 stars because the employees were very friendly. If you have to order your own food, hunt down your own drinks and food after you paid and ordered, and then get your own condiments, you might as well go get fast food and get beer at a real bar. Not sure how this place stays...

I visited The Crystal Palace, Wetherspoons in Glasgow a few times, especially with my partner, and it's a very charming pub where you can get both food and drinks. 😊 We enjoyed visiting on a weekday, and our experience was delightful from start to finish.

This pub, nestled in the heart of Glasgow, holds a rich history that adds a unique dimension to its allure. Designed by John Baird, it stands as a testament to Glasgow's architectural heritage, inspired by Joseph Paxton's monumental Crystal Palace, a marvel of the 1851 Great Exhibition. The iron and glass construction, reminiscent of Paxton's masterpiece, takes you on a journey through time as you savour your meal. 🏰✨

We decided to start our day with breakfast, and it was delicious. The fact that The Crystal Palace is a Wetherspoons establishment was a reassuring sign of excellent food at a great value, a hallmark of this renowned chain. 🍳☕

One of the standout features that both my partner and I adored was the presence of the original lift system, a piece of history that adds a unique charm to the place. Not every day you get to enjoy your meal while surrounded by such historical elements. 🚇🏛️

While there weren't a lot of staff on hand during our visits, the convenience of being able to order through their app more than made up for it. The modern technology seamlessly integrated with the pub's historical ambience, creating a one-of-a-kind dining experience. 📱🍽️

It's now January 2024 and the service is still fabulous. This time we had chicken nuggets my wife had a children's portion. I asked them to make them hot because it was for a adult and change the knife and fork from a child to adult. Which they did no problem I had boneless chicken nuggets which was braw as we'll. It is now good Friday holiday weekend. My wife and I went in and the both of us this time had one chicken nuggets chips the other one was chicken stripes and chips. Both were superb hot and service was excellent as normal even all though it was very busy. It get nearer to the FairFriday in a couple of weeks.
