I thought for ages that The Counting House was a pub, but it was only when I went into it that I realised that it was a function room for the Peartree House pub. \n\nSituated just around the corner from the main University campus, George Square, The Counting House is very localised and close to the city centre and so it is a convenient place to reach. \n\nI have only been into The Counting House once, and it was several months ago for a birthday party. The venue consists of a lounge, a ballroom and, my my favourite aspect, a bar! The ballroom itself is quite spacious, with a large wooden floor and it is very light inside as there is a huge dome glass ceiling, whilst the lounge is relatively small and when it gets busy, it can feel quite cramped inside. It has a full bar upstairs which stocks a wide range of spirits, ales and ciders. \n\nThe Counting House cater for a wide range of different events including weddings, Burns Supper, Ceilidhs, Party's and Business Conferences. The large ballroom is also used during week nights for professional dance classes, which one of my friends goes to and she says the space is really ideal as it is big enough for their group. However, when I was in the ballroom at the party, it got pretty crowded when everyone was on the dance floor and it was difficult to move. \n\nThe Counting House would be a great place to hold a decent sized party or event, however, if there were going to be a lot of people attending, I think this place would not be large enough to accommodate them all.
