With around 850 pubs operating in the UK and Ireland, it's fair to say you're never really far from a Wetherspoons.
Whether you're a fan of the budget pub chain or not, there's no doubt they offer some of the cheapest drinks and food choices around. In Liverpool city centre, there are six Wetherspoon pubs (or Spoons), all with their own unique history.
Wetherspoons 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.
