The restaurant and its upper room was popular with artists, including Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife, Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh, who had studios in nearby Glebe Place from 1915.[2] Other regulars included Augustus John, Randolph Schwabe, John Duncan Fergusson, and Margaret Morris[2] although the food itself "was often unappetizing and the service erratic".[2] Others included Eric Gill in 1927.[3]

In 1962–1967, The Blue Cockatoo along with the Pier Hotel was sold to developers Wates Group to be replaced by "luxury flats".[1][3] The block of flats is called Pier House, and a statue of A Boy on a Dolphin stands at the front.[3]
