The Union Rooms - JD Wetherspoon

You'll find this massive Wetherspoons occupying what used to be a grand bank building right in the heart of Union Street's buzz. The high ceilings and original features give it more character than your average 'Spoons, though it's still very much the familiar formula of cheap pints, curry club Thursdays, and breakfast served until noon. The food does exactly what it says on the tin - nothing fancy, but filling plates that won't break the bank. Whether you're sobering up with a full English after a big night or meeting mates for a quick pint before heading elsewhere in the city centre, it serves its purpose well. The staff keep things moving despite the constant flow of punters, and you can always count on finding a table somewhere in the cavernous interior.
