Occo Bistro - South Lanarkshire

I was amazed by the quality of the bar food at this restaurant. I tried the dinner deal with two courses for £12 and also ate off the lunch menu the week before. Both times, I could not find any faults with the food. Everything tasted fresh, and was cooked perfectly. I would have been happy to pay double the price at more upscale bars and restaurants. The service was just okay, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was a bit lacking. However, the food and drinks were excellent considering the price.

My friends and I went to this restaurant for lunch. We were the only ones there. We all ordered soup to start, but we were all disappointed as it tasted very sour, almost like vinegar. We left the bowls untouched as we were pretty sure it had gone bad. The server noticed our full bowls and asked about it, we explained our dissatisfaction. Our main courses were just okay, nothing notable. To our surprise, when we received the bill, they had charged all three of us for the soups we didn't eat. Overall, not impressed with the experience. Giving it 2 stars only because the server was friendly.

If you're a regular, you're welcome. However, if you're not, beware of being kicked out even after spending your money. The staff seem to favor locals when seating customers. The restroom cleanliness is also a concern. Overall, a disappointing experience. I will not be returning.

My sister who is 60 years old asked to use the toilet late on on Saturday the 28 May. She suffers from bowel issues an is having a hard time of things just now. It was around 12.30 , the doors were still open and she walked in and politely asked if she could use the restroom. A female bartender told her she couldn’t use the toilet. My sister explained to her that she had issues but the bartender still refused to let her use the facilities. She then escorted with some security guard out the door. We couldn’t believe what had just happened we were disgusted. Across the road the female bartender from the Montgomery Arms saw what had happened and told my sister to come over and use the toilet. I would just like to thank her generosity. As far as Bar Roccoco is concerned they should hang their heads in shame. I will be meeting with my MP later as we cannot let this rest.

We are in our mid 30s barrocco is My Local pub in which I attend on a regular basis for food and drinks. Met up with 2 friends and got in the pub with no issues at 815pm. At 10pm we were approached by a female bouncer saying we had to leave because my friend had a ‘tracky’ on. My friend had khaki jogging bottoms on with a khaki jumper which had a very tiny adidas logo on the jumper. We were seated the whole time causing absolutely no bother at all (catch up after having a baby). The bouncer said we can finish our drinks however after ten mins the bouncer came back (after another bouncer whispered in her ear and they both looked at us) and said sorry I need to ask you to leave due to the owner being in the pub. When asked why ‘trackys’ weren’t allowed she couldn’t answer (despite jogging bottoms not being trackys) also Other girls were walking about with jogging bottoms on and heels and others were in the toilets taking drugs and not one person I seen with a mask on (including most staff) but no we were still asked to leave and were refused service. My friend was being discriminated against for the way she dresses! Disgusting! Also It’s funny how they left it 2 hours before saying anything. Won’t go back. Disappointed
