Another great Glasgow Pub! An old church that has been converted and features event space, a internal bar, a restaurant and space outside for a beer Garden. I have not been loads of times, but when I do go I love it. I mean what is not to like!? The best thing I can probably do is summarise my last visit and you will probably want to go yourself right now. The sun was blazing and we took #RogueTheRidgeback for a pint. We sat in the beer garden which we shared with loads of people who were attending a wedding in the event space so they were dressed up fancy and there was a good buzzy atmosphere going on.(This was on a Monday night as well!) There was even a wee cool French bulldog sat in the corner for Rogue to stare at. Everyone happy. (This place is very dig friendly) Drinks were superb. I got to try 3 different IPA's that I never tried before and one which was flavoured with green tea tasted brilliant. Snack wise we got fries, onion rings and calamari to share and it all tasted lovely. Nothing to fancy just top notch pub grub - check out the pictures! You might be able to tell by now that I am a fan. I will be back soon.

Stereotypically west end, with expensive drinks, live jazz and people with beards, Cottiers is a pleasant enough place to while away an afternoon or evening. During summer the outdoors beer garden is very popular and has a barbeque which does good burgers. I've never eaten in the restaurant but saw a good comedy gig here a while back in the adjoining theatre, which has a range of shows and gigs on regularly. In a very nice part of town so also completely bereft of neds, Cottiers is well worth a visit.

Main theatre converted for a wedding

Didn't know what to expect to attend a wedding here. Coming up to the place in a taxi - whoa it's an old church! I find these converted theatres quite cool as they've used the place really well. The bar and restaurant area was really cool and it was the perfect sunny day to relax in the beer garden. There was a good selection of drinks and overall the food was good. Would've loved to try the Sunday roast as it looked amazing! The outside BBQ also looked quite good. If I'm back in Glasgow, id definitely like to come back and see other places in the West End.

Cottiers set up for McFall's Chamber.

The first time I went to Cottier's was for a wedding reception. Talk about the wow factor. It was in the evening and the sun played beautifully with the stained glass windows. A small stage was set up at the opposite end to the bar for the band and there was loads of room to dance in front of the tables and chairs set out for guests. The next couple of times was for the Cottier's Chamber Project and their Dance Project. If you feel old theatres are stuffy but you fancy trying some bit sized classical music or contemporary dance then look out for next year's programme. They continue to push the boundaries and give artists a chance to expand their repertoire. One performance I went to included a video (they lower a screen from the ceiling), a band, several opera singers and a small chorus. As you are close to the performers it was a joy to take it all in. For both projects they have seats randomly, some with tables, others without. Get there early if you like the front row, get there late any you may be at the back beside the bar. Why 4 stars and not 5? I've not been in that bar area or eaten here but will update when I do.

I've only recently discovered Cottiers and I can't believe it's taken me so long. Cottiers Bar, Theatre and Restuarant is a little delight in the west end of Glasgow. Housed in an old church near Highburgh Rd, this establishment has a reasonably-priced restuarant, a lovely bar and an even nicer beer garden for those rare sunny days. There's regular theatre too where you can catch comedy, drama and music. I enjoyed my meal at the restaurant however I've heard mixed reviews from friends. The bar on the other hand always seems to get get a thumbs up. During the week it's a nice chilled-out atmosphere with low lighting- as you'd expect it gets busier on Fridays and Saturdays. Dog walkers take note- it's a dog friendly pub so feel free to stop by for a mid-walk pint with the pooch .

Hidden in the building of a former church on a leafy corner in the west end is this lively but chilled out little gem. The distinctive little beer garden is packed on sunny days and it always makes smile to walk past seeing locals of all ages enjoying a quiet drink. I believe they put on the bbq during the summer as well - bliss on a hot day! During the colder months the bar is a candle-lit little haven. The food is yummy and service was excellent when I was there. Another little hidden west end treasure.

See all

The Pot Still - 1000 whiskies

Small pub, massive whisky selection -- and I mean massive. We're talking over 1,000 whiskies on the…read moreshelves, plus a solid lineup of beers on tap. It's cozy, crowded, and buzzing with life -- often standing room only and packed shoulder-to-shoulder with locals and travelers alike. If you're a whisky fan (or even just whisky-curious), do yourself a favor and try one of their Scotland whisky flights. It's like taking a mini tour of the country's whisky regions without ever leaving your barstool -- and without worrying about driving. The bartenders really know their stuff and are happy to guide you toward something you'll love. A quick heads-up: no football colors allowed, which keeps the atmosphere friendly and relaxed no matter who you support. And speaking of friendly -- the locals here are as welcoming as they come. This is exactly the kind of place where Scotland's famous pub culture shines. Prices are surprisingly reasonable too, so you can sample a few drams without feeling guilty. Whether you're a seasoned whisky nerd or just looking to experience the local vibe, this is the spot. Pull up a stool (if you can find one) and enjoy a proper Scottish night out

Even if you are not a whiskey fan, this place is worth visiting if you're in town. Just to see…read moretheir ginormous, or hmm, whiskey-normous, selection of bottles lining the wall, and the bartenders going up and down the ladders to fetch them. This may prompt you to feel like ordering a drink. You are in good hands and they can totally recommend something that you may like. Their selection is so huge they don't have a menu, you just have to ask for your label or take their recommendations. Naturally, most of the selection is Scottish whiskey, but if you somehow prefer otherwise, (say you are a local tired of Scotch... or just want to reaffirm nothing beats a Scotch?) they do offer whiskey from other countries, as well as beer and ciders, as well as gin, rum and the like. They do offer pies and other bar food, but we went after dinner and just couldn't stomach more food, tempting as they may sound.

If you are into craft beer and chill vibe this is a great spot. They carry Overtone Brewing line in…read morecans and it is as good as any US NEIPA including Trillium, Treehouse, Singlecut, Other Half and Tired Hands. Come early or it will be crowded.

Great pub to stop and have a drink after walking around town. Located within about walking distance…read morefrom hotels. Appearance/Location: corner bar located on Argyle street. Good location to stop on your way back from Kelvingrove's Art Gallery and Museum. We walked from the museum to the pub without any problems. It's nice on the inside. There are some tables and the bar is at the center with a nice display of alcohol both on tap and on the walls. Beer: there was large selection of beer and liquor to choose from. I was looking for a good stout and the bartender, Andrew gave me some really good recommendations. I settled on the Overtone Milk that he recommended and it did not disappoint. It was smooth, full bodied, and flavorful. Nice chocolate flavor with a hint of smokiness to it. My husband got the Drygate IPA and it was crisp and hoppy. Service: I always look for good conversation, attentiveness, kindness, and whether or not the server and or bartender was knowledgeable about what they're serving. Our bartender Andrew was all of the above. He was so welcoming, and my husband and I enjoyed the great conversation With him. He knew a lot about the selection of beers and whiskey, where it came from, and who it came from, so that was wonderful! Thank you Andrew for a great experience. We hope we can stop by again while we're still in Glasgow.
