Cooper’s Craft & Kitchen
“I also got a side of their truffle fries, which was thinly-cut for maximizing surface area and crisp.”
“The ambiance is really cool, great crowd, good prices, and wide selections of beers/scotch/whiskey.”
“We saw the chalkboard menu of beers on tap at Cooper and the simple one-page menu of American New offerings, and thought it'd do the trick.”

A few Guinnesses and wings into our St. Patty's day evening, I was craving a burger and fries…so a quick Yelp search later, we set off down the street to Cooper's. The huge glass windows and the openness of the dining area made Cooper's feel super inviting AND the perfect place to watch people parading by in their green attire. I loved that the St. Patty's day decorations here weren't gaudy like those at some of the other places down the block – it was quite toned down but still festive – which I always appreciate.
My friend tried two beers they had on tap (both were delicious, btw) and we split the burger and hand cut fries, which turned out to be a really good idea because the burger was HUGE..and just eyeing the brown bag full of fries was enough to make me full!
We got the burger medium rare, which is rare (hehe) for me since I typically like my beef a little more well-done, but I decided to give it a try since that's how my friend usually gets his. He didn't complain about it, so I'm assuming that it was a good medium rare! I'm still a wimp about undercooked meat so I think I would have enjoyed it a little more browned.
Our waitress was super sweet and really attentive until it got busy. It took us a while to flag her down for our check at the end of the night! Otherwise, it was a very solid experience, and I'll definitely be back for brunch or dinner sometime soon!
This is a super easy and convenient option for those of us looking for a casual spot to have dinner and a delicious beer. They serve tasty burgers, sandwiches, and tacos. I would avoid this place on weekends as it draws a louder, rowdier crowd. However, it's been perfect each time we've been here M-F.
This is a really nice place to sit in, especially if you are looking to be able and sit down and chat while having some drinks when everywhere else is packed.
They have a fantastic selection of beers on tap, as well as a kitchen that is open late night. When you are looking for somewhere a little more relaxed in the east village for late nights, this is a solid decision.
My friend and I came here recently prior to seeing a show in the area. I picked this place due to all the wonderful yelp reviews. Well, now they have one more! My friend ordered a burger and fries and I ordered the grilled cheese with tomato soup. We were very pleased with our meals as well as the service. We also both ordered a specialty drink which was crisp, delish and not too strong
Cooper's was hopping' when we went in around 10 on a Thursday night. We were a party of 3 and got seated right away. They were having a tap takeover with Ommegang and Boulevard. Perfect timing on Ommegang because I was in the mood for a Belgian.
I had a Glommerhorn, a very nice saison. My daughter had a pale ale and my wife a Boulevard unfiltered wheat. All were excellent. We just wanted something small to eat so we shared an order of sliders and the Brussel sprouts. There were 3 sliders that were nicely cooked and tasted great. The Brussel sprouts were roasted with bacon and topped with Parmesan and other cheeses. They were very good. The slides and sprouts were a perfect light meal for the 3 of us.
The service was good, friendly and prompt. All was good at Cooper's for us!
Food is alright and three stars worthy however the deals after 5pm take it up to four stars.
Fish tacos are great (ask for the hot sauce) and there's a good selection of beers to choose from either by tap or can/bottle.
Haven't tried deals for the rest of the week but I hope to soon!
I'm not a beer drinker so it's usually hard for me to find a place on a low-key night that satisfies both my boyfriend, who likes his craft beer, and me, who would rather eat than drink beer. I like taking sips from his beer but I'd be overwhelmed if I was faced with a tall glass on my own. Cooper's satisfied us both. He ordered a beer, in which I drank half of it and actually enjoyed it, and a burger. The burger was monstrous, weighing in at about half a pound. The fries were delicious, thick cut, and simply salted. The burger was juicy and cooked medium-rare to medium. The blend of meats did end up making it sometimes too oily so that the bottom bun was soaked and falling apart and the some ran down my hands. I ordered fish tacos, which came in three and beer battered and fried. I wouldn't order this next time because the fish came in thin, small strips and a lot of the size was just the batter. It was a little plain even with the chipotle mayo. It's not like the fish tacos you would get at taquerias, where they're dressed with a mango/pineapple salsa or other brightly flavored condiments. I'd come to Coopers for the beer, burger, and fries, which is not at all a bad thing.
Hadn't been back here in a few years, since my days living in East Village, but I most recently came with a group for some post-happy hour bites and brews. The 5 of us came at around 830pm, and were seated promptly. I like that it's one of the few good places in East Village to watch the game without having to deal with a super-douchey crowd.
I got the wings and split the truffle fries with the rest of the group. The wings, while meaty, stood between the line of crispy and soggy, which I didn't much care for. I also typically don't like breading on my wings, so I personally would go elsewhere for wings (Croxley's). The fries were great though, so no complaints there. The special of the night was fish and chips, which one of my buddies got. However, it was just one small piece of fried fish, and not that many fries. Sort of a rip-off for $19. In all, the food was only okay.
However, for drinks, the beer selection is still pretty extensive, and they had some pretty good-sounding drafts. I'm a fan of the all the events they have with local breweries and such, although it does take some planning to actually make it to these events. I tried some of the cocktails too, and the variety of quality beverages is really quite impressive for a bar perceived as specializing in craft beers. So really, you can't go wrong.
Service was fine throughout our meal, although it took a while to get our check. However, it was fine, since we had planned on staying until the end of the first NCAA tournament games. Prices in general were fine, although, again, the fish and chips special wasn't such a good special, in terms of price. Don't know how often I'll be back at this location, given that I live closest to the Chelsea location, but it's a solid place for beer and sports in the area.
