About The Esquire House

The Esquire House is a pub on Great Western Rd in Glasgow, set in a renovated older building with a modern interior. The menu runs to 109 dishes, including a Scottish Breakfast, wings, and a Southern-Fried Chicken Wrap. Drinks span a wide range of beers, ales, ciders and spirits, with locally brewed cask options alongside the usual soft drinks. Orders can be placed through an app rather than solely at the bar. TVs around the room show sport with the commentary played through the screens. The pub opens daily, and seating extends outdoors as well as inside. The main food and drink area sits some distance from the toilets, which are set apart from the rest of the space.

Customer Review Summary

Breakfast draws the most mentions, with reviewers describing an American breakfast of eggs, sausages, hash browns and pancakes, and separately a solid Scottish-style breakfast, though one diner found the pancakes reheated and the machine coffee among the worst they'd had. Close behind, reviewers repeatedly flag the place as cheap and good value, with a lunch bill under £25 and cask ales praised, including a nod as a 2026 CAMRA Good Beer Guide entry. Service draws mixed but mostly warm notes, one waiter singled out as professional and helpful, others calling staff friendly though occasionally slow, with one app order flagged in advance as delayed. Complaints recur around food temperature, with one reviewer reporting cold food twice, and around bigger nights out, with one diner leaving mid rugby match after the TV signal and sound cut out. One reviewer separately describes a coeliac experience calling it their worst visit. Toilets are noted as a bit of a trek by one reviewer.

    “A part of the wetherspoond chain of pubs, so if you have been in one, you know what to expect. It is a lovely old building with a renovated, clean and modern interior. There is an extensive food menu of mostly decent, affordable dishes. They have a large choice of beers, ales, ciders and spirits. The wine list is less impressive. It is wheelchair accessible. Staff were pleasant and knowledgeable of their wares.”

    “The Esquire House (Wetherspoon) in Anniesland, across from the old Ascot cinema. Standard Wetherspoon setup, big open space, plenty of seating, with optimistic outdoor seating. Okay, I’m not a big Wetherspoon fan myself, but it is what it is, I suppose. Waiter Jakab was a top bloke, the best thing about the place, very professional, switched on and helpful. Food is what you’d kind of expect. Had an American breakfast with eggs, sausages, hash browns, and pancakes with bacon. The pancakes seemed like they’d been reheated or something, really weird. The coffee from the machine was honestly one of the worst cups of coffee I’ve had. But some folk go back for refills again and again. The guy at the next table was eating really loudly, snotting and sniffing. Not sure if he was hungover or some kind of junkie. He kept moving around outside for a vape and then back for a coffee refill, talking loudly on his phone. It is a very cheap sit-down meal I will give the place that. ---”
