Cottons bar in Renfrewshire

This cottage style bar / function venue is ideal for casual drop in or bookings to suit most visitors/ locals...

Just popped in for a Xmas drink . Friendly staff and for a wed was pretty busy good atmosphere lots of tvs and good music

Bit of a backwater mostly elderly customers and staff.Alright if you want a quiet drink and watch old music shows on big screen television.

Haven't been in for a while due to covid went today for the usual soup and mac n cheese, soup was cold ,mac n cheese was pasta in a white sauce ,tasteless ,chips weren't hand cut ,but frozen, apparently change of chef no side salad overpriced and a waste of money, complained to the chef he was very abrupt and nasty ,no reflection on waitress ,she was lovely wont be back ,been a regular for years .Don't go here if u want a decent lunch.

Happy staff, great food, steak pie and chips, what better. Great prices, great pint of Guinness :)) xx

I go regularly to Cottons and their food and prices are excellent. They make home cooked food including homemade soup. Fish and homemade chips and salad which is only £5.50. Fast service and very friendly staff. I would recommend this pub to anyone.

Went to cottons great wee pub never had problem with food but a bit disapointed on sataurday we bothhad fish n chips not up to usual standard fish a bit greasey but as always waitress not the most pleasant but when getting served at bar very pleasant you women and very cheery so i think its time to retrain waitress on customer services

Great friendly staff, generally a good atmosphere in the place, but it does need a bit of TLC. It looks dirty

I was treated to a lovely lunch at this homely pub. Everything we had on the menu was lovely, from starter to dessert. Big thank you to the staff!

2 course dinner for £6 might be cheap but they certainly don't scrimp on portions. The chips are home made and delicious. The starters vary but always on is the delicious soup. Everything on the menu is worth a visit. The dining area has been recently decorated and recarpeted making it a nice cosy place to eat lovely food. Cooked by Tam and served my Marie. They serve food till 2 mid week and 6pm on a Saturday. Even when the bar is busy it is not noisy in the dining room.

Discovered Cottons bar 4 or 5 years ago after a recommendation from a local taxi driver whilst in renfrew attending the scottish darts open. Have been back every year since. The friendly atmosphere as you arrive makes you feel at home.Well stocked bar and friendly bar / kitchen staff. Plenty of Tv screens for any sports fan. The food is fantastic and very reasonable.Highly recommend to anyone.

In Renfrew for a spot of Hogmanay shopping and looking for a nice pub lunch. Had seen this bar from the bus so decided to give it a try and had a very pleasant surprise. Bar area was real cosy and inviting, 2 G & T s at £4.80 and 35 mls a lovely surprise. Then to food, not a big menu but £6 for 2 course couldn’t go wrong. Chicken soup delicious and NOT from a packet, then macaroni for me and steak pie for my wife. Both delicious, big portion and nicely presented. Will be back to this jewel of a bar.

Popped in with my sister and my niece and great nephew. Food was outstanding and service excellent. Deffo be back!!

This was the third year we have visited the Cottons Bar, can honestly say it’s one place you really need to try great friendly atmosphere great selection of refreshments but the food is outstanding and amazing value for money. Superb

Went here with friends, lovely friendly atmosphere. Made to feel welcome by all.the food was excellent. All cooked fresh on the premises and the prices were more than reasonable. Would recommend this place to anyone.

Having stopped at the nearby Travelodge for a night after a late flight back into Glasgow airport, the family were up for a spot of lunch. We found Cotton's Bar on here and with it having good reviews for food and with it being very close by we thought we would give it a bash.

Had lunch fresh food not frozen hand made chips what can I say excellent friendly little place good service very busy that says it all highly recommend the steak pie 10/10 for every thing a real hidden gem and not expensive we had a two course meal and only cost £11.00 for 2 people drinks on top of that but only £2. Something for 2 cans not over priced highly recommended

Went there with some family for a quick lunch. Good friendly service with good prompt food on the table. Prices are very reasonable for good size portions.

Muy buen ambiente de este lugar. . Ha sido un par de veces últimamente para el almuerzo. Los caballeros que nos sirve es realmente amable. La comida es fantástica y el tamaño de las porciones son geniales, muy barato. Las patatas fritas caseras son excelentes normalmente el uso de ellas con salsa de orden que es mi comida favorita que tengo en una semana. Esperamos semanas próxima visita! !

Been to cottons on several occasions food is lovely great value for money and very friendly atmosphere x

Always a great meal very generous portions and great value for money. Staff are all very friendly and make you feel very welcome

3 course standard grub, nice but very rushed. Feel as if staff want a quick turn around. No reflection on the food that is served though.

I used to drink here years ago and I enjoyed going back in it felt like coming home, great food, staff and atmosphere.

This is a traditional Glasgow bar just as you would expect. Service is prompt with good local banter. The bar is full of couples with their dogs and the atmosphere is welcoming. It's not posh but you will feel completely relaxed. Ideal place to drop in if you are out for a walk in the area!

Visited for first time after a few months absence. Food still great value, however on our visit with 2 toddlers the other diners who were quite noisy seemed to resent the intrusion

Love going here for lunch. Good food, chips as chips should be, tasty. Very friendly staff, nothing too much problem for them. And they can make a nice omelette without a microwave! What more can I say!

This place is a traditional old fashioned pub they serve 3 courses which is good value for money, in the lounge their is TV's up on the walls any time we have been in it seems popular, nice comfortable place.

Drinks and karaoke with friends. Cosy bar with friendly staff. Good atmosphere and karaoke with plenty variety of songs and good engagement from bar patrons.

Been many times and as always meals are delicious and great value for money friendly service and would recommend this to anyone

We come here often, good pub for a drink, watching the football or even lunch. The food is brilliant, all homemade and very cheap!

The food was freshly made and piping hot, it was also very tasty and staff were friendly and helpful

On a busy night bar can be congested whilst no one uses the lounge because it's particianed off. If I was the owner, I'd knock down that stupid wall and open the whole place. Also has some unfortunate drunk and smelly patrons that the staff still serve.

Return visit and gobsmacked to be offered steak as part of the 5.50 package. Lentil broth the best. Homemade chips to die for. All that was missing was bread for a chip piece.

Was at braehead for the day and went on TripAdvisor to see where was good to eat and found cotters bar in renfrew.What a lunch for £5.50Lovely home made soup and the best fish and chips ive ever eaten. Home made chips and freshly battered fish.im just sorry I cant go more often .big thanks to chef and staff.

From the outside looks like an old lads pub inside there's a lovely dedicated restaurant.Food is great homemade soup steak pie etc.Truly great value and taste.Try it it's amazing

For the price of a peroni at luna rosso you can enjoy three courses of well prepared food. The soup is delicuous. The cajun chicken cooked with red peppers and onions is too die for. Ice cream to finish rounds of the best value meal I have eaten anywhere in the uk. I kid you not. No pretentions just honest home cooked fayre. Well done to all involved

Popped in to Cottons Bar in Renfrew for a wee spot of lunch on Tuesday the 30th of September 2014. Three course for £5.50 you cannot go wrong with that. Started off with the lentil soup which was lovely we then moved on to our main courses. I had the macaroni with chips and side salad while my husband had the chicken curry with rice and chips. Both main courses were tasty and very good value for money. Service from the bar and waiting staff was excellent. This is not the first time we have been to Cottons Bar for lunch and it will definitely not be the last. Would recommend it to all my family and friends.

For what looks like a "wee old mans pub" the food is brilliant for the price, the drinks on offer are cheap and there is a pretty wide selection too!

Cottens is a well run Bar and the Staff are Friendly . At anytime of day they are always people in there enjoying themselves. The Drink is at a fair price and the place is Clean.

We were in here today for lunch and the food was great for the price we had cream of chicken soup for starter and it was ok not home made but some packet catering soup. But the main course was fabulous really was could not fault it we had cajun chicken good size portion too and ice cream for desert for £5.50 for three courses it cant be beaten. Service was a bit slow but the place was very busy at that point

Very pleasant dinning experience three course meal fro 5.50. Menu choice fine daily specials varied.Hubby had steak pie chips and peas beautiful REAL Chips not bought ones like grannies made.I had macaroni cheese chips again faultlessWhere I found fault was we could not eat pudding so asked we take it away we had paid for it to be Told no. A small detail but important one Also noticed when in that fire exit door blocked with chairs that was side door but back door to beer garden w as fully open or I would have raised it. A group of friends wanted to sit and enjoy sunshine told that food would not be served outside.Music was slightly loud.Cheap cheerful lunch but won,t break my neck getting to visit again.

Return visit to this hostelry. Still busy, always a good sign. Soup lovely but the masterpiece was the cajun chicken. Succulent chicken and good size. The simplicity of the peach melba made it. Thanks again for an excellent lunch.

went back to see how it was performing on the food side since change over in kitchen. have to report food is still excelent value up 50p but for .£5.50 for 3 course lunch, try and get that anywere you would be hard pushed keep up the good work Stev'e

Popped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised how busy it was. The atmoshere was good. Soup lovely. Lasagne bit strong on the tomato but lashings of cheese. Homemade chips well done u !. Overall brilliant value at 5.50 for 3 courses. Will be back to go through the menu

whats to dislike gid home made nosh . steak pie went down singing songs of praise as did macaroni chess. setting could do with up dating slightly dated , sweets menu was limited. You would not leave hungry freshly made coffee and tea available, Staff could perhaps do with a uniform (only a suggestion ) nice polo shirt and black trousers. did see chief in whites , Value for money fine not problem.. Dishes need replaced lts a mismatch of plates surely a cheap dinner set is no too much to ask for. What I witnessed it a regular for many locals, just needs some tender love and care and some leadership front of house it would be a wee haven..

Been going to cottons bar for about a year,couldn't understand why it's not been mentioned bofore in any reviews.The food is unbelievabley good for the small some of £5 you get a 3 course meal that would shame some so called carvery's. Try it you wont be disappointed Stev'e
