"We visited Cottiers on Xmas eve 2022. It was me and my friend and our two young children. We had tickets for an event downstairs afterwards and decided to have lunch first in the Attic. Upon entering, the place was beautiful and atmospheric with a very traditional Christmas vibe. However, the greeting from the server was not welcoming at all. She seemed disinterested from the off and did nothing to make the children (or us feel welcome. The menu was different to what had been advertised on the website fair enough, it 's Christmas. But, there was no vegan option on the kids menu. We had to ask what the chef could make for my friend 's son and weren 't given an option so eventually asked for a plain tomato pasta. (I mean, it 's an established west end restaurant, surely a vegan option should be par for the course? . I opted for the crispy fried gnocchi with vegan parmesan. When it came, it was not crispy, more soggy, with stalks (not heads! of tenderstem broccoli through it. Very odd. And there was no vegan parmesan to speak of, so we asked for this to be brought to the table. We felt like we were bothering the waiting staff by making simple requests for things that should have been served in the first place. A further example there was no salt or pepper on the table and nor was it offered. When we asked for these, the girl brought an empty salt mill to the table (as I noticed someone else mentioned in a previous review . This resulted in a longer wait to eat our food as we had to ask for it to be filled up (again, no apology or recognition that this was unacceptable I mean, these are basics! . Everything was so slow even though there was only one other table dining and it felt like an inconvenience for the staff to do anything for us (what they are getting paid for! . My daughter ordered a burger and OK, it 's a kid 's meal, but please don 't assume children don 't like salad or veg it was a basic burger on a plate with skinny fries. She would have gladly eaten a side salad. At the end of the meal, my friend asked for her son 's pasta to be boxed to take home (conscious of zero waste as we all should be . A couple of boxes were dumped on our table for her to do herself! I 've never known a restaurant to do this, usually staff are more than happy to box food up for you, even in casual pizzerias! The next problem came when we ordered two kids ice creams. They came with some sticky pink sauce on top which wasn 't on the menu and neither kid likes. We sent these back requesting plain ice creams as we had not asked for any sauce. This took more than 10 minutes to arrive, by which time the kids were fed up and the event downstairs was due to start, so the ice cream (which arrived without spoons!! was left untouched.. yet still charged, of course. Time to pay the bill full cost on the receipt, despite us expressing how poor the whole experience had been to the waitress. A lame, insincere oh sorry was muttered. It doesn 't end there, my friend got 20p change when it should have been 2 pounds, so even that part was wrong! Normally we would leave a generous tip, but not a chance after that disastrous dining experience, and on Christmas eve too. Highly disappointing. We felt like we were bothering the staff just by being there! Service was slow and sloppy and they didn 't even seem to care. I dread to think how they would cope at busy service times. The staff definitely need hospitality training as they are not skilled or equipped to be serving customers in what is known reputable west end establishment (if anywhere at all . We went on to complain in writing to the manager, the reply came with no justification, no apology, they simply said they welcomed our feedback. And pater to discover from the press the place is infested with mice! The whole experience actually makes me feel ill. A beautiful venue, lovely location, a real shame. Not recommended."

I’ve been a regular customer of Cottiers for years. The staff are so friendly, and with the warm fire especially welcome on these cold January days, it’s a great place to enjoy a nice pint.

I visited this wee pub for the first time yesterday and it’s lovely, with gorgeous Christmas decorations, friendly staff and reasonably priced drinks! It was perfect for a cosy pub evening and I will definitely be going back soon!

Lovely surroundings, bright and atmospheric. Excellent drinks selection and friendly service. A must visit if you are in the West End of Glasgow. I couldn't believe this was my old church where I went to Sunday school as a boy. We did not dine here on this occasion. View menu

Love this place! Visited on Saturday 3/1/24 with my family as my son lived nearby. My only fault was the really loud music, we were unable to have a conversation without shouting to each other and in fact everyone in the bar were shouting at each other.I don’t mind music playing but not at that volume we moved on to another bar which was quieter.

Pitched up last Saturday night, with my dog Place was very busy (also a wedding being catered for upstairs outside) I sat inside was informed I could sit anywhere and a bowl of water brought straight away for dog, without asking. My drink and food was served with a friendly smile chat. Large TV screen showing the Olympics. Would def recommend the pork belly bites

Arrived just after 7pm, 4 adults, 2 children. Owner/manager? Told us on 3 occasions within 10 minutes that we had to be out by 8pm, kept staring at us, we felt very uncomfortable. We were not told when we arrived we only had 30-40 minutes to drink a bottle of wine. Extremely uncomfortable situation, would not recommend going there (even without children). Staff/Manager/Owner needs to get their customer care in order. We are local but will definitely not be returning. Zero stars if that was possible. View menu

Lovely pub, it's got a warm feeling with candles and fairy lights. Being a church it feels like an experience to go in there, take some photos of the lovely decor and soak up the atmosphere. The staff are a bit miserable looking; too cool for school. They'll engage and serve you if they can be bothered. When I was younger I worked in pubs and hotels for around 15 years, I did my best to be pleasent and present for customers. Unfortunately it feels that the staff in Cottiers don't feel this way. It's a shame.

Came here for dinner drinks on a lovely sunny evening, had a drink outside then came inside, found a table ordered our food more drinks. The menu is not extensive but they do vary the options on the menu. I had the seafood linguinie which had been made with smoked haddock, it was plentiful tasty, my partner had the beef curry which was greatly enjoyed as well. Prices were reasonable the place was fairly busy for a Wednesday night. We have eaten here several times before keep coming back, staff were friendly attentive.
