Real Ale Ray left this review about The Standing Order (JD Wetherspoon)

A real haven after just visiting the Booking Hall JDW, plus a more relaxed atmosphere after the bedlam in the Booking Hall. The splendid heavily embellished sky light was a sheer marvel to take in, almost forgot to look at what beers were on the bar. Eight different beers across three banks of six handpumps. The line up on our visit was Belhaven 80 Shilling, Doombar, Abbott, Dargavel Brewery Haud Ye Wheasht, Theakston Old Perculiar, Shepherd Neame Spitfire, Orkney Brewery Tidal Bay and Golden Ale. Our favourite was the Orkney Tidal Bay at £3 a pint.

A former banking hall,there is also a back entrance on Rose Street making it an easy target for Rose Street crawlers.The interior is impressive with a huge sky light in the main body of the pub ,two quite seperate formal rooms and some good mosaic flooring at one point .The marble columns are a feature,as are the frosted glass panels on a rear wall.Outside that it's all very corporate and despite three ranks of six handpumps the ale choice on my breakfast trip was confined to GK Abbot,Doom Bar,Belhaven 80/-,Harviestoun Schiehallion ,Alechemy Charisma and Kelburn Goldihops.
Typical 'spoons offering but a good interior.

Blackthorn _ left this review about The Standing Order (JD Wetherspoon)

A large and impressive looking Wetherspoon’s with the main entrance on George Street but also a further back entrance in Rose Street, it’s very impressive architecturally and is certainly worth popping in for that alone.

Internally it’s largely all one open plan room with a very high and ornately decorated ceiling which is certainly the main feature of the pub and wouldn’t look out of place in a National Trust property. In comparison, the rest of the pub is fairly unremarkable with a mixture of dark polished wood and blue patterned carpet on the floor and lots of tables that were quite tightly packed in. Some alabaster pillars at one end might have also made for an interesting feature if it weren’t for the large projection screen slung between them that was showing a football match. On one wall were a number of segregated seating booths with dark wood panelling on the adjacent wall.

Beers on tap were Hobgoblin Gold, Belhaven St. Andrews, Bishop’s Finger, Cerveja Curitiba, Thornbridge Jaipur, Orkney Northern Light, Jenning’s Sneck Lifter, Deuchars IPA, Wildcat, Abbott Ale, Orkney Dark Island, Doom Bar, Titanic Plum Porter and Strathaven Fat Santa. Ciders meanwhile were Strongbow, Strongbow Dark Fruit, Thatcher’s Gold and Magners.
