The Best In The West

For some fantastic West End hospitality in Glasgow, head to Coopers . Our vibrant pub has high ceilings equipped with chandeliers for a touch of classic style in this popular area of the city. It’s not just our good looks, as there are 14 HD TVs and a 4k screen showing Sky Sports and TNT Sports. If you’re after a bite to eat, you can dine from 10am until 10pm. Family-friendly dining runs until 8pm. The bar is stocked with 16 beers and ciders, as well as a choice of real ales. On a sunny day, there’s no better place than our outdoor cafe and you don’t want to miss the live music at the weekend or the Sunday pub quiz. Furry family members are welcome in our dog-friendly pub too, with disabled access also available.

Terribly rude staff, awful service and filthy toilets

Terribly rude staff, awful service and filthy toilets. In light of COVID-19 the owners should be ashamed to have customers in this pub. 0/10. Would not recommend.

Coopers

After its original life as an old-style supermarket type place called "Coopers" (those of a certain age may recall subsequently "Coopers Fine Fare" which became "Safeway", which is now "Morrisons"), this building became a Mexican Bar called "Chimmy Chungas" and as such it featured in John Byrne's BBC drama series "Tutti Frutti" in 1987 as the workplace of the character played by Emma Thompson (with a passable Glasgow accent!). This was the series which Robbie Coltrane apparently credits with launching his career, and in it he played the lead character "Big Jazza". The series was about The Majestics, Scotland's "Kings of Rock" and it also starred Richard Wilson (later of "One Foot in the Grave" fame) as Eddie Clockerty.

It then became for a long time Bar Oz, a very ordinary chain-pub with an Australian theme, and its current name presumably harks back to its original incarnation. Circle of Life and all that!
