Glasgow restaurant
Cottiers occupies the former Dowanhill Parish Church at 93–95 Hyndland Street in Glasgow's West End. The Category A-listed Neo-Gothic building was designed by William Leiper in 1865–66 and is named after Daniel Cottier, whose stained glass and decoration fill the interior. Four Acres Charitable Trust bought it in 1984 and turned it into a theatre, bar and restaurant; the complex first opened as Cottiers in 1992. Downstairs is a public bar with an open fireplace, a partially covered beer garden and modern pub classics. Upstairs, Leiper's Attic is a quieter 60-seat dining room with a gold ceiling and salvaged church chairs. It closed in 2019 and reopened in February 2026 with modern Scottish cooking. Recent mains include beer-battered cod (£19), pan-fried duck breast (£24) and 8oz beef fillet (£32). The bar runs daily until midnight; the beer garden until 10pm. Leiper's Attic is open Thursday to Saturday 5pm–9pm and Sunday 12pm–7pm, and is closed Monday to Wednesday. Restaurant tables can be booked online; the bar does not take reservations. Children must leave by 8pm. Dogs are welcome in the main bar and beer garden. Partick station is about a 12-minute walk; Kelvinhall subway about eight minutes.
Enjoy a lunch here yesterday with friends. I had fish n chips, which was ok, fish batter was a bit greasy. Friends had steak frites and chicken schnitzel both really enjoyed theirs. Lots of cocktails which were great and service was good
Read on Google MapsLunch on. Tuesday. The full menu was available however they have a fabulous deal for £11. Wide variety of sandwiches with soup or salad or chips plus a soft drink or coffee. Amazing value for West End of Glasgow. Delicious and great quality . Staff very attentive too
Read on Google Maps"EMPYRE" & " CATS IN SPACE" Great show and location. Acoustics Fantastic. Great Bar and not too expensive. Helpful staff
Read on Google MapsFood was good however service was terrible. We checked the online menu so we would be prepared, only to find the menu online needed updated. The bar manager was more interested in chatting to a member of staff. I had to find an empty table and clear the debris. I asked someone to clean the table. Eventually a girl came along sprayed the table then a quick wipe , not cleaning the whole table and left a coffee stain. When we had to go into the venue we were greeted with church chairs squeezed so close there was no space. There is more space on a Ryan Air seat. Due to the way the seats were placed it made it awkward to enjoy the concert.
Read on Google MapsOur wedding at Cottiers was just, put simply, a DREAM. I fell in love with this venue long before I was even engaged! I just knew it was where we would be having our wedding reception; thankfully, my now husband, agreed! We were blown away when we visited the venue initially. Once all of our decor etc had come together on the day (thanks to our wonderful suppliers and Team Cottiers) we walked into the hall for 'first looks': we were absolutely besotted. Not only is this venue visually stunning and provides the most perfect atmosphere for a wedding, the food was TO DIE FOR. 'Best food I've had at a wedding' is what we've heard on repeat for the last seven weeks now! Lastly, but by no means least - Eve and Erin, our coordinators, were nothing short of phenomenal. They had the patience of saints when it came to my constant stream of questions and emails -for the best part of a year. The girls kept me calm throughout and nothing was too much for them. What a credit they are to this establishment! Both girls are responsible for what we knew would be the most amazingly beautiful day
