User Reviews of Cotton Bottom Inn

Yelp.com Review - by Matt W.

3.0 of 5 stars. Overall, The Cotton Bottom succeeds at what is sets out to be; a great dive bar. I really like the darkened interior, the draft beer and, of course, the garlic burgers, which are juicy and flavorful....

3.0 of 5 stars. The atmosphere for me is what makes this place fun. It's a comfortable little dive bar, which I like for some reason. What i don't get is all the hype about the garlic burger. It doesn't even have...

This place has a lot of character, which I think is what has sustained it through the years. If you're looking for a place steeped in local tradition, this is it. If you're looking for exceptional food, there...

Good Burger, Bad Customer Service

The Cotton Bottom makes a mean burger, but I personally don't think it's worth it when you have the slow service and poor attitude of the wait-staff working against you. It is a small pub, relatively dingy and...

Customer service is horrible

This place has one of the Garlic Burgers . But there horrible customer service ruins it. And the place just stinks inside. So I suggest take out but be very very aware of the rude lady who answers the phone.

This place is gross! How could you taste anything when you all you smell is cigarette smoke.

Like everyone else I heard that the garlic burgers are out of this world. I decided to go there. If you drove by it you wouldn't know it was a place people would eat at. It is a bar. No question. Dark, smoke...

These burgers are a hit with my stomach after a huge day of powder skiing on the wasatch front. The atmosphere in the bar is very relaxing and casual. Burgers are worth the drive from Park City.

It's the best place to get a burger. You definetly trust the kitchen, after all you can walk through it. The only draw back is it's really small.
