Strongers . left this review about The Looking Glass (JD Wetherspoon)
A patio runs around the exterior of the Looking Glass where high and normal patio furniture is in situ. This is a Wetherspoons with a large curved bar that supports two banks of five hand pumps as well as a large keg range. The long bar faces different seating areas that run around the exterior walls. For a JDW pub this place has a very small footprint, but the drinking space is maximised by an upstairs seating area that overlooks the main bar. For those who do not want to keep walking up and down the stairs there is a small bar in the left hand corner. This bar supports an additional three handpumps. The usual food menu is available. It was busy in here during my visit on Tuesday evening last week so I am a little surprised to see that it has been closed and sold.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Looking Glass (JD Wetherspoon)
This Spoons is housed in a very interesting looking building, the exterior is quite Colonial in style on approach. The main feature being the upper corner veranda. I also liked the upper Mezzanine first floor, if you fancy a bit of peace and quiet. Ten pumps split across the bar, I was lucky to spot Peerless Oatmeal Stout at £1.99 a pint, which was class.

Brainy Pool left this review about The Looking Glass (JD Wetherspoon)
this place now has a huge ‘for sale’ sign outside, so it probably isn’t much longer for this world. On a Saturday afternoon it was a typical rough and ready town centre Spoons, local alcoholics in the bar and dining families upstairs. Five or six interesting guest beers on and I was being pestered by local ‘characters’ as I tried to order a pint. It will be a loss to Warrington town centre, I always found it a characterful Spoons and I hope Tim has a change of heart.
