text: The Standing Order Wetherspoons Bar on George Street is cheap This for many a relief as George Street is expensive In my view it should not be on George Street it would be so much better fitting on Princes Street nnIt is also big crowded and extremely noisy due to all the sound is bouncing around the high ceilings and of the bare walls The main drinking hall has neon strip lighting and keeps every area well lit nnI usually avoid going here as by paying a little bit more money for a pint in a different bar I actually will be able to talk with my fellow drinkers on the same table without having to resort to shoutingnAlso I prefer a bar with atmosphere like background music a little bit of decoration on the walls and comfortable corners and dimmed lights all of this that is missing in this Weatherspoon if not all of them nnYes the beer is cheap nYes the food is adequate and cheapnYes there is plenty room for all your footie mates and henstag party without having to make a reservation nYes you can actually afford to buy about rounds for all of your friends from Uni nand still have some change for those bathroom polo mints when you have pulled that sexy one nnOnly when you do not mind having to queue ages for those cheapo rounds sometimes persons thick alongside that really big Scurved bar nAnd that sexy one you pulled is clearly a result of cheap lager you both consumed in copious amounts nnJoking aside this place is collecting a certain demographic of drinkers yes drinkers I do not see why anyone would like to go here and only drink soft drinks It collects drinkers like flies to a honeypot did I mention they serve cheap lagersnnIt is about volume cheapness and certainly no overheads and these Wetherspoon places know how to maximise and profit from this nThat is likely why there is no music it is very very expensive to have a full PPL nmusic TV licence in a public house and the bigger the place the more it costs nnThe food is of an average quality cheap and err cheap deals with the cheap lager you see a pattern emerging here Nothing exciting and nothing special It will fill your stomach and will not offend apart from when it is brought back up after too many beers Burgers Curries and Bangers Food that will sound nthe same whether you order it in a drunken slur or shouting it sober over the table Food that substantiates you so you can drink more As more or less mentioned by another reviewer this is McD disguised as a bar Now that is quite an accurate description as I do not frequent McD either for similar reasons And I guess that the aformentioned demographic WILL visit McD for those same reasons toonnSure on the surface there is nothing essentially wrong with their concept perfectly acceptable but that is also my main reason why I choose not to like it because I am a local looking to have a good time not acceptable good Not compromised by pricing and and not just looking for a cheap booze up
