The Crystal Palace (JD Wetherspoon), Glasgow

Basic Wethys pub with all the trimmings, but was quite surprised that they did not serve beer on a Saturday till 11 am.

Large 2 floor 2 bar wetherspoons. Does what it says on the tin no more no less.

A very curious-looking building, with fully glazed facade at street level and multiple full-height arched windows in each storey above. Inside, the main bar has high ceilings and chandeliers which look rather out of place above the typical 'spoons furniture and decor. Very lively, with football being shown on two large screens and other TVs scattered around the bar. Four of five handpumps in operation; mostly standard offerings but thankfully Houston Tartan Terror from a local micro-brewery was also available (£2.30). I didn't realise that there is another bar of similar size at first floor level until just before leaving, and this appeared to have some real ale on too but was rather quieter with no football showing.
