With around 850 establishments operating in the UK and Ireland, it's fair to say you're never really far from a Wetherspoon pub.
Love or loathe the very British budget pub chain, there's no doubt they offer some of the cheapest drinks and food choices around. In Glasgow there are numerous Wetherspoon pubs (or Spoons), all with their own unique history.
Wetherspoon is known for its cheap pints, lively atmosphere and lairy carpets – but the pub chain has some very unique venues too. It was founded in 1979 by Tim Martin who reportedly took the name from a geography teacher who told him he would never be successful.
