Review The Cotton Club - Cairns

Chantelle Howkins
For $28 Steak of Origin, you could not beat this! The steak was perfectly cooked, the chips were fresh and tasty. The salad was super yummy and don't even get us started on the toppers! These ribs were INCREDIBLE! Staff were pleasant and welcoming. It wasn't overly crowed for Origin which made the experience more pleasurable for me, it was loud but not so much that you couldn't hear the person next to you talking. The Cotton Club have gained new customers tonight in us! We will be back again to try more yummy food. Oh, GO QUEENSLANDER!!!!!!!

I went in for an early bird dinner. You get to choose two courses for only $25. In my opinion it was really worth it. My sticky ribs were so good. The barramundi served with garlicky tomato sauce was decent, but a bit overcooked. Their drinks menu is very affordable, around $16-$18 for a cocktail.

The best part was the delightful ginger beer on tap! reservations are recommended ... and table wasn't ready. We got a table right next to the band.... music was too loud and couldn't hear conversation across the table..... Fish and chips were overcooked.... Probably ok for tourists .... but sadly not a returning local

Wow. That word in itself is enough to describe this place. The food is fantastic, yeah it's not a 5* restaurant but it really is amazing. The staff are brilliant, all friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive. We had lunch the other day and after sending my compliments to the chef he came from the kitchen to thank me. We went back for our dinner this evening and were amazed again, the portions are generous and again very attentive staff. We would recommend this place to everyone and if we didn't have a flight tomorrow this would be our new local. If you are in the area looking for food then definitely go here.

The Cotton Club is in a very convinient location within the heart of Cairns and a very inviting looking, tasteful decorated, classy restaurant! After a very friendly welcome - the staff is excellent, we choose to sit in the open as Cairns has such a nice tropical athmosphare, especially during the evenings. All meals served were cooked to perfection and divine, the three of us found good reasons to rave about them, they were a tastebuds orphery. Something specially to mention, there pepper souce that came with an also excellent divie tasting steak was one of the finest I have ever tasted.

The Cotton Club is a restaurant located in the heart of Cairns with Woolshed (one of the most populair night bars in the area) right above it. It’s a really populair spot for both locals and tourists. Both inside and outside areas are really comfortable but I always preferred outside for some fresh air and better lighting. The menu offers a wide variety of foods, starters and drinks. My ‘go to meal’ was the chicken parmi with fries and salad (change the fries in to sweet potato fries for only a dollar extra) but I also enjoyed every single other meal I’ve tried here over 4 months. Some of the waiters were a bit rude from time to time (since they obviously work long hours on a working holiday visa) but the manager Jan is always nice and thoughtful of his guests. He is always around and ready to help.

I dont ever give reviews but for this little Cotton Club i just couldnt go without sharing my thoughts on such a wonderful litle place, in the heart of cairns its a cozy, quaint little pub. The dimly lit lights inside, large booths, timber and brick decor sets for a nice evening, outside heaters and live band perfect for lively chatter. The Staff were absolutely beautiful with attentive skills, making everyone feel welcomed, as all pubs you go upto order food&drinks although a kind employee offered to go up and order our drinks for us if we prefer to do that which was a sweet offer! Let me get to the food WOW, a full menu with just delicious food, not your ordinary pub cuisine, prices are average mains $20-30 the servings are huge and well worth every $1...if your in Cairns you must simply try here for a bite to eat! And if your young they have a nightclub upstairs :) ps free Wifi if your inclined this way...

i wanted to celebrate my birthday there with just having dinner with my boyfriend. first of all the staff was really unfriendly !! first they wanted us to sit inside although there was enough space outside. when we paid there was the next stress as they didnt want to accept the voucher we had! when i asked for a simple glass of water i didnt get that either. food was cold and nothing special at all. staff was simple unable as they treat their costumers. definitely cant recommend that restaurant.

First visit to the Cotton Club today for a casual lunch. Dinks were expensive, but that's to be expected in the CBD. The food was delicious and reasonably priced and the vibe was fantastic. Staff were attentive and helpful. I'll be coming back to the Cotton Club.

Had a function there on the 21st for a group of 20, the staff were all great. Thanks for all your help with organising the event and would recommend it for any functions.
Matt White
Great cocktails, comfortable seating outside by day and inside by night. As for the food, have eaten here twice and both times I have been satisfied.

Very unfriendly staff, the girls behind the bar were very overwhelmed and acting not professional. The food was ok but nothing special. Never again �
Pamela Maher
Thanks for making our engagement party special, everyone had a great time. Yummy food, good service and a dedicated event coordinator who set everything up and greeted us before going home sick. I would definitely recommend this place for an event.

Thank you so much to all the amazing staff at The Cotton Club who helped make our engagement party a night to remember! Fantastic music, food, drinks and the MC did an incredible job entertaining our guests and keeping us laughing. If you're looking for somewhere that does venue hire for a special event definitely consider these guys!!

Cotton Club is a must go to destination when visiting cairns. For locals you should definitely make it apart of a fortnightly or weekly routine. Lachy is an absolute legend of a DJ. Sadly no wheelchair access up into Woodshed.
Rachael Bakker
Great venue for a private function here! Nothing was too much for Christie to organise on our behalf and the service we received was excellent in the lead up to, and then also on the night. The venue easily accomodated 40 guests, and a hired photobooth. The food platters were delicious, plentiful, and all special dietary needs were thoughtfully catered to. It was the perfect venue for celebrating our Daughter's 21st Birthday and everyone really enjoyed the evening.

This Restaurant being on the prime areas of Cairns brings the crowd in through it's cool beautiful ambience cool music and the very friendly staff .. The food here i tried here was chicken steak with beer fries and basil margarita pizza with some nice chilled beer and a very nice cosmopolitan ever had here . would love to visit again here ..

I wish I took a photo of my food before I demolished it because it was just as well presented as it tasted.<br/>After a few weeks of some heavy eating I decided it was probably wise to get some veggies into me so I had the roast veggie wrap. But still got a side of fries 😏 and shared a mojito jug with my girl.<br/>Everything from start to finish was on absolute point! The cocktail jug was $16 and hit the spot on a warm summer day. The wrap was flavourful and $11. And finally the fries.. my girl couldn’t finish hers and there was no way I was leaving any on either of our plates, so as a result I gave myself food sweats haha. The cherry on top was the customer service we received from Paul and Katie. Don’t judge a book by its cover. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here for under $50

I ordered the roasted vegetable wrap with beer battered fries and it was INCREDIBLE! It was so fresh, great portions and a great value. There’s live music on the weekends and the owner Paul was very personable and friendly. So glad I walked passed here! You must eat here! Only a 5 min walk away from the marina...Which is very touristy and sometimes not even that great for what you pay.

The sweet potato steak fries are terrific , Its so nice to come across a place that hand cuts their own.   Then seasons them with freshly chopped sage and thyme, This really made the dish.  Outdoor and indoor seating, very approachable staff and a range of craft beers.  The other items on the menu seemed very nice and worth exploring based on the quality of the snack
