Overview

Coopers sits on the corner of Great Western Road and Bank Street in the West End, inside the B-listed former Cooper & Co grocery store. The French Renaissance building with its clock tower opened as a high-class grocer in 1886. After the shop closed in the 1980s it became Chimmy Chungas, and the Coopers name returned when the bar opened in the early 2000s. It now runs as a Belhaven pub and reopened after a refurbishment in July 2025. The food is pub classics served 11am to 10pm daily: breakfasts, steaks, fish and chips, small plates and sharers, with ciabattas and burgers from about £8 to £10 at lunch. There are Sunday roasts, vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, a kids' menu, and a 20% student discount card. It is very much a sports pub, with big screens showing Sky Sports, TNT Sports, BBC and ITV, and bookable matchday tables. It also runs a pub quiz, has a beer garden, welcomes dogs at the manager's discretion and takes function bookings. It's open until midnight, or 1am on Fridays and Saturdays.

Wouldn’t recommend this place if your a group of men wanting to go out for the scores etc We showed up with a booking for 16 and were told we were not getting served alcohol and they couldn’t give us a reason why. This was our first Place we had booked for our day out and got turned away so if ur a group of men wanting to go out in Glasgow would advise staying away from here As per your response we jumped of a mini bus after our 40 minute journey with our drink and immediately put it in the bin as we didn’t want to leave any of our drink on the bus which is the correct thing to do no one was causing any drama whatsoever This was our first place we had booked we’re hardly rowdy we had maybe 1 drink each if that Cheers

Nice lunch deal- I had the steak sandwich. Pretty flavorful with nice fries with a rosemary seasoning.

Wonderful atmosphere and friendly service. The beer was cold and refreshing, the food was excellent. What more could one ask for in a pub lunch?

Appalling food, cold and small portions yet still expensive. Wet dogs roaming free, creating hazard of slippery floor. Service of scruffy staff, definitely hair in the food 8/10 plates I'd say. That's if they don't slip or trip over a dog.
