Cooper's Craft & Cocktails

The truffle fries are DELICIOUS. Good beer and wine. Comfortable space to hangout with friends or for a relaxed date. At night, they turn the lights out and bring some candle lights, so the atmosphere becomes more cozy. I definitely recommend it!

Cooper's was a great experience and welcome respite after we got caught in the rain on our way to Chelsea Market. Service at the bar was a tad slow but overall congenial, and the drinks/food we had were solid overall. The bao buns in particular were a highlight.

Great drinks and music, kinda pricey. We got 2 drinks each and the cocktails were classic nyc prices. The bartenders were really nice. This is a cool date night spot or meet up for a small group of friends.

This place was our best friend during my NYC trip. They have a great craft beer variety and a great service. This is the only place I went more than once and I don't regret it at all.

Food was spot on for our party of 8! I sat down to join my friends who had already eaten and was impressed that I didn’t have to hunt anyone down. Everyone was friendly and attentive. Both my Bao Bun and Old Fashion were enjoyable and hit the spot. Great vibe, good music, and tasty bites!

For the type of food served the atmosphere is perfect. Don't mistake it for a five star dining location but the for the food it's a great place. Including cocktails the total was around 30 per person. Be aware when ordering that burgers and such don't come with sides.

Nice ambiance when not crowded. Later in the evening you'd have to shout to have a conversation :( Decent selection of beers. And great creative cocktails. Food is a bit pricey for what it is, but burgers are juicy and tasty. Chicken sandwich was good too. Quick service. Really.

It is a really nice restaurant with two bars. There is a front area and a back area, both with bars. There are also draft cocktails. There is a happy hour, but unfortunately, the glasses are much smaller and the amount of liquor is smaller as well.

Excellent service, a cool crafty cocktail vibe, and very good New American cuisine. It's a nice little neighborhood joint. We had the cheese curds to start, which were very tasty and comes with a really good dipping sauce. I had already eaten so I just had the steak au poivre tips as my main, which are grilled marinated filet mignon tips in a creamy cognac peppercorn sauce, with a crispy shallot on top for good measure. My dinner partner got the fried chicken sandwich and was generous enough to share a bite with me. It was very good - crispy and tasty. Limited but good menu, good drinks, and tasty bites. No complaints here!

It's a great bar for cocktails and small bites. We sat at the bar and got the cheese curds, and they were delicious. The espresso martini and Paloma were terrific. The employee was friendly. And the restaurant itself is beautiful. I would go back to try different items on their menu.

I went to Cooper's for lunch with a friend on a Friday afternoon, it was pretty empty. We ordered lunch and a drink, the server was attentive and kind. I ordered the grilled cheese and smoke tomato soup. It did start getting busier during our lunch. They have happy hour from 12-7 during the week.

Cooper's Craft & Cocktails is an excellent gastropub on 8th Avenue in Chelsea (they also have another LES outpost). Not a sports bar, it is actually a terrific bar with many craft cocktails and a wide selection of beers on tap. The food is good too. The staff is excellent. The ambiance is nothing special but not why you are there.

We came here for a late night bite after a show on Sunday when not much else was open. The service wasn't great as they seemed annoyed to have to serve anyone at all (it was basically empty), giving attitude when we weren't quite ready to order yet then messing up my order (she repeated it back but my salad was still missing the chicken) then not checking back on us so I couldn't have it corrected. The harvest salad (without chicken) was okay but the brussels were pretty good (when are they not?). A totally okay option that is open late and will be fast, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way for.

Solid bar to watch a sports game or hang out with some friends. It's a massive space and has some good options on tap.

I've been to the east village location a couple of times for happy hour but for some reason have not been to the Chelsea bar. We came here for brunch with my boyfriend's family this past weekend. I feel like it's still more of a happy hour kind of bar than a brunch spot. They definitely don't have any bottomless deals. And they advertise no brunch cocktails. Actually, they didn't even give us the brunch menu when we asked for a paper menu. It was the all day menu. Service was pretty slow. I digress. I ended up getting the traditional eggs benedict, two people got burgers (keep in mind they do not give you fries with the burger/that's $5 extra). And in hindsight they forgot someone's fries and they had to wait for them to heat them up and added it on as an extra side for extra money instead of the $5 addition. My boyfriend got the Easy Breakfast that he complained later was on the small side. The thing I appreciated the most I guess really were the hashbrown side which was kind of like these giant potato patties. They were odd but tasty. The canadian bacon on the eggs benedict tasted more like prosciutto and I was here for that texture. I'm not blown away. I'm not entirely disappointed. Their mimosas which I don't want to know how much they cost were heavy on the champagne and that was appreciated. But I feel like I can get better food and drinks elsewhere. Their happy hour has always been just $7 instead of $9 beers and $11 select cocktail of the month. Which I feel like are close enough to normal hour prices.

I recently arrived in NYC late at night and queried the hotel clerk for a place to get dinner (Monday night 10 pm). She suggested Cooper's, just around the corner. Great suggestion! It's a rustic atmosphere, lots of wood, that feels warm and cozy on a January night. The staff was welcoming...got us seated with water glasses right away. We ordered cocktails to start.. all of which were delicious. I ordered the Bahn Mi, which was excellent. The spicy slaw was crunchy fresh and not too spicy. The protein was perfectly fried to a just right crispness. Very good! My friends enjoyed their dishes as well. We all agreed that Cooper's was a great suggestion and that we might come back another time on our quick visit to NYC. Everything was great! The service, the drinks, the food. Definitely well worth a visit! Note: we actually did go back later in the week, but it was too crowded to stay .

Service was quick and great ! Bavarian Pretzel- Good Pork Belly Bao Buns- Amazingggg Wings- Hit the table and they were gone fasttt I'm a beer girl and they had a decent amount of choices on the menu. Honestly, just go you'll like it.

The Harvest Bowl is excellent. The Wi-Fi password is ilovecoopers. Lots of local draught beers.

This place has some great drink and app options! Just wish it had more dinner options other than veggie bowls and basic salads. I ordered a spring bowl with chicken which was good but really the only interesting healthy option on the menu.

I stopped in for a burger and fries. I ordered the house burger and regular fries. The burger was delicious and tasted home made. The fries came in a cute fry basket. They were hot and crispy. The burger and fries were a la carte.

great lighting easy on the eyes not too dark but not too bright. Espresso martinis were good more on the chocolate side. Great foam. Bartender was cool.

Good vibes, great service, & a yummy sour. Been here a few times with coworkers- no complaints !

Nice happy hour spot. The windows were open when I visited, and it was a nice day. Overall good vibes, attentive staff. All of the food we ordered was fire unless I was starving lol. No but really the truffle fries had true truffle flavor, curds were perfect and crispy and battered. Wings were good and drinks were bomb too. Will probably visit for HH again.

Came here for a friend's birthday drinks on a Saturday night. I think my friend had a reservation, but I don't think it was needed as it wasn't crowded the entire time we were there (from 9:30 till midnight or so). I tried a couple of drinks from their cocktail menu and they were all fantastic. My favorite was probably the Frozmo, since I love alcoholic slushies especially on a hot night, but the Penicillin was a close second favorite. Our server was fantastic and checked in on us fairly often to make sure all 10-15 of us were good on drinks.

Came here to watch college football after being unable to get seating at a bar nearby. Certainly not a sports bar but they have two TVs as well as a projector in the back. The back area with the projector was the best place to watch. Looked like some other fans had the same issue we did, and some more folks started trickling in throughout the afternoon. Not quite a sports bar but they were pretty nice. As the evening progressed, they got busier with their typical crowd - chic city folks out for the evening. Beer list was great. Lots of craft and local options. Had some sessionable options too. Service was pretty attentive throughout and I appreciate them accepting us before their typical evening crowd showed up.

Came here for a private party and loved the atmosphere right off the bat, feels a little rustic and cozy although definitely a bit warm. Surprisingly spacious on the inside. The drink menu looks a lot better than it performs, not a bad cocktail by any means, but it doesn't outshine beyond the average. I personally would recommend their spicy margaritas, they tended to be a little on the spicier side. Didn't order any food, but what I saw others had looked great. Would like to give this place a second try during regular business to see if there's a difference in quality and try some of the food options for myself. Staff was very nice, albeit a bit slow at times, but I'll excuse it a bit since it was a large party.

Loved this spot. Just moved to the area and was craving a good burger and it didn't disappoint along with the shrimp appetizer . Cozy environment and friendly staff.

Cooper's wa sa great spot to sit and have apps and beers with friends. We went to this location on a Saturday afternoon and had a reservation, but could've grabbed a spot here without it. It was not as busy (not sure why, possibly due to COVID), but it was a good restaurant for sure. We ordered some of the appetizers (brussel sprouts, truffle fries, pretzels and cheese curds) and nothing here disappointed. The beers were also very refreshing and crisp. I had gotten a special at the time (Miami Sound, I believe), but it was very worth it. I was surprised by how affordable the apps and the drinks were. All in, for 3 people, we enjoyed splitting a few apps and having a few beers to catch up. If you want something nice and easy to just sit and enjoy the weather, this is the spot. Last but not least, our waitress was incredibly attentive and did make sure that were always taken care of, which is great to have.

Great food, great service! The place is very chill off the busy NY streets :). Great selection of apps and pretty decent selection of specialty drinks. Thanks for a great experience.

Popped by for a cute meet with friends for happy hour. Super fun. The ambiance was chill, food tasty, drinks very cute. Decided to grab some truffle fries and friend got a burger. Both delicious and filling. Looking forward to checking this place out again. They have rose on tap!

Good food and interesting rotating craft beer choices on tap- lots of breweries and beers you won't find anywhere else. One of my favorite bars in Chelsea.

Great place to pop in for a quick drink. Enjoyed their cucumber cocktail - super refreshing on a hot summer day.

Craft beer - very good Food - Excellent! Book what your client likes. He said "craft Beer' found this gem in Chelsea. It has a good vibe, and a happy hour all fay feel. Friendly service, and a great non- pretentious atmosphere.

Came here on a Sunday for lunch, and had an amazing experience. The drinks were strong and flavorful, Ithe fish taco was great and the entertainment just topped it all off. Strawberry performed and I learned she performs every Sunday for brunch. Such a positive experience, her voice is very impressive and definitely made our brunch more fun! Highly recommend

Stumbled upon this bar with a friend during their happy hour and was not disappointed. Given it was a busy Friday night, we were able to find a spot at the bar in the back. We ordered the pineapple passionfruit margarita and hot toddy. Both were really good! That was my first time trying a hot toddy, and it was very soothing for the throat. Bartender Dave at the back bar was awesome. Super friendly, personable and makes a mean hot toddy! I also appreciate a clean women's bathroom. You don't see that a lot at bars, so that was a plus. My friend and I had a great time here overall and would definitely come back to try more of their cocktails.

We had little time after we got home from work to freshen up then scram to Chelsea for a bite to eat, then pound to Ephrat Asherie's performance over at The Joyce Theater on a Wednesday. I really had my sights on Jungle Bird's gorgeous design, menu and cocktails (for hubs)- but it was packed- both at the Bar and regular seating. Next. Located a couple of doors down though from The Joyce Theatre, Cooper's was seriously a great hit coming through on ALL levels. Cooper's style has lots of natural raw wood, and beams at the bar. Ladies & gents restroom are downstairs with utility sinks outside of them. Ladies room is small but makes up with a chic and rustic style to it. Interestingly enough- Cooper's menu is VERY diverse and accommodates every palate. Because the performance started within 30 minutes from the time we sat, there was no time to shoot the breeze. Hubs explained to our server- who was sooo understanding- we had a show to attend and asked which menu items had less prep time and she suggested Pretzel Rods and Truffles Fries. Let's just say- Pretzel Rods had the right amount of coarse salt- plus they had a slight crunch with chewy goodness and Truffle Fries were delicious- wished I had another bowl. Cocktails and Mocktails? Check! I asked and our server quickly mentions a Moscow Mule. Even regular Moscow Mules weren't my thing- but awesome Cooper's had a Moscow Mule Mocktail choice and not the mundane Mojito Mocktail. By the way- my Mule was tight and was taken to a new dimension even down to the Candied Ginger on top! Place had the right amount of good vibes and music was cool with some Indie Rock going on! Everything- and I mean everything worked out fine. Thanks to our server who was so point with timing!

Great for a no frills, inexpensive boozy brunch option. Entrees were around $13 and it was $25 for unlimited mimosas/bloody marys. Food was pretty filling and tasty as well! We all got different varieties of poached eggs that were perfectly done. Great service as well. Overall a very solid option

I came here for drinks around 10pm on a Friday night and have been a few times before for friends' gatherings. They have a bar with ample seating in the front and tables in the back. The front is open air so it's a nice spot to visit in the warmer months. There were plenty of bar seats when we arrived, but the back was busy. I started off with the Cucumber Crush. It was great. Very refreshing and tangy. I recommend letting the cucumber slice that comes with it soak in the drink before you bite into it for an additional burst of flavor. For my second drink, I had the Can't Take My Eyes Off of You. The mix of tequila and mezcal offered a very unique taste. The flavors kind of roll along your tongue in waves. Especially when you layer in the spicy sweet salted rim, it's a very fun taste profile. We also got the Penicillin which was tangy and rich. The Velvet Elvis tasted great too. Really enjoyed the cocktails overall. I know this place also has a good food menu that's worth checking out.

Ate here for dinner with friends and had a few cocktails. The menu is kind of meh so I ordered the charcuterie board for my meal and it was super tasty. But I wish it had more meat because I was very hungry later. The drinks were okay and the atmosphere was good.

Came here to Coopers a.k.a Coopers-Chelsea as it is one of two locations ahead of going to party where only drinks would be available and no food and this place had no problem satisfying in with food offerings as well as a selection of craft beers. I started with some of the $3 sliders which really hit the spot. Definitely recommend particularly Saturday as this is the daily special for them. I also got the Spicy pork tacos which also get a thumbs up from me, but have had better tacos from more dedicated Mexi restaurants, but I've also had worse so Cooper's still wins there. The Crispy Brussel sprouts were also great which after 3 types of food here tells me they've got that on lock. I had a craft beer that was pretty good, can't remember the name but it was #22 on the list for those curious enough and if isn't switched out. The beer selection sounded good so I'd be willing to try more and would totally recommend coming here for food and drinks. Chill atmosphere and good service.

5/5 for being open late on Saturday night. The place is very dim lit specially in the back side. We were seated right beside the restroom even though so many tables were empty. The table was dirty too, it wasn't cleaned at all. There were food crumbs left. Isn't it still pandemic!!! Horrible cleanliness sense. So 0/5 . The water glasses didn't look clean either. But I was too tired to tell the staff. We ordered My fair lady- good Fish tacos - good Chicken sandwich - could have been very good except the French fries were so bland, no taste at all. So overall I wouldn't come back or recommend this place. Just for lack of cleanliness specially during this time I will give the least stars.

I got the plant-based fried chicken sandwich made vegan (no mayo) which was pretty solid, though I'd love if they had other vegan options on the menu. Apparently they used to have a falafel burger which would've been great too. I'd love to see more plant-based options! Great bartender and vibe

Came here with some friends for quick bites and some drinks and everything was so good. Pretty good beer selection and cocktails were good. Got wings and truffle fries to share, they both got burgers, and I got the chicken sandwich. The watermelon summer salad we ordered was surprisingly my favorite and was so good I had to make it at home. Really nice space overall, just wish there was more variety with music (was playing oldies hits the entire night)

I come to coopers all the time and I love everything about it! The vibe, food and THE STATFF- I recently got my usual- the smash burger and it wasn't as I excepted it to be. Izzy took the issue at hand and made sure I left as happy as I usually do. I think this will be my regular spot for years to come!

Came in for a quick beer to kill time for an event in the area. Loved the multiple options of craft beers available. Super cute rustic decor all around. Bathroom are located downstairs. Food js available and seating area for that as well. Price was reasonable

Came here with my girlfriend a few times during a vacation to the city. The first two nights we had a great time, but when we went back the third time, the bartender had an attitude. She immediately asked to see our IDs even though she'd just watched the bouncer check them. Whatever, we order a couple beers, and are drinking them while we look over the menu. As we are getting ready to order more, she comes over and demands to see our IDs again! Then she launches into this tirade about how she can't make a living wage unless we tip more. Lady, if you can't afford your bills with the job you have, get a new job, or else take it up with your employer. Go on strike like the rest of us do. So, cool place, and unfortunate that one surly bartender had to ruin the experience.

My wife and I stopped here in between pre-wedding festivities for a drink. Fantastic spot for good food, amazing drinks, and a nice atmosphere.

Almost all the drinks my friends and I ordered were amazing. I highly recommend the passion fruit margarita! We also ordered the truffle fries but they were just okay, nothing special. The servers were also extremely friendly and helpful!

This place must be doing some type of witch craft as their whipping up their burgers and chicken sandwiches. Is Cooper a magician? Is he in the kitchen? Who knows? I know...it's all of the above. Back to the food. This was a mid-evening stop for dinner and they were very accommodating to our reservation called 30 minutes in before we arrived. Traffic was killer...or should I say the day drinking. Any who, the environment wasn't too tight and the menu options were endless. Highly recommend this joint for a quick (full) bite. What we got: -The House burger w/ fries ($16). Pricy, but worth it for the flavor. Fries were perfectly seasoned. -Fried chicken sandwich (highly recommend) w/ fries. This sandwich had the perfect crunch to chicken ratio. The slaw was moist (LOL) and homemade sauce was to die for. You come here? You get the chicken sandwich or nothing. If you're in Chelsea and want a great soul food bite, you come here. Anything else? Open your savings and get ready to wash some dishes to pay the bill.

Stopped in early for a beer and a few bites. Our bartender was friendly and attentive. The beers were ok. The food was pretty good. And that's basically what it was. I am an IPA guy and the slim selection wasn't too great. The cheese curds were good but a little on the greasy side. The Spicy pork tacos are something I would not get again. I liked the wings. They were nice and meaty and the sauce was real good. Sadly the wings were not hot. I mean temperature, not spice. Had the wings been the proper temperature they would have been very good. There were no real stand outs to be mentioned and that's why my review is 3 stars. ENJOY!!!

Had a couple friends in town and needed a casual dinner spot with food pub food, drinks, and wouldn't need reservations on a Saturday night. Checked the box on not needing reservations on a Saturday night, but nothing else. Appetizers were decent (pretzels), but entrees were very bland. I had an old fashioned to drink, and it may be the worst I've ever had. I will not be back here and am confused on the positive reviews in a city (and neighborhood) with so many fantastic food options.

I've been here twice in the last month. Both times to eat and I really like this place. It's a super chill bar with a really big dining area in the back. The first time I came here was with a large group for lunch. The staff was very helpful especially working with about 15 people. The service was quick and the food was pretty tasty. The second time I came here was with one of my best friends and we were able to sip some rosé, eat poutine and chat it up in peace. The music here is not super loud so you can hear the person (people) you are with and the crowd seems super chill afterwork types. Food wise I recommend: - Poutine (heads up there's duck in this dish) - Cheese curds - Buffalo wings

Great spot! Came here on a Saturday afternoon to catch up with co-workers. Had a reservation, but it was surprisingly uncrowded. I've been here for brunch before which is reasonably priced and pretty solid. But this was the first time I really tried a lot of different beers. THEY ARE SO GOOD. I loved every craft beer I tried. The place was also a hit with my coworkers - neither of whom had been here. The waitress was very helpful with recommendations. The Brussels sprouts were delicious and roasted and the cheese curds were my favorite app. Great bar food all around. The vibe is casual, rustic. Definitely not a pub / tv beer bar. More of a "try flights of crafter beer" vibe.

Nice Chelsea hangout bar. - Shishito peppers are one of my favorite bar appetizers. Cooper's execution of this dish is flawless. - Grilled asparagus. Comes with a fried egg on top. Solid appetizer, especially if you like asparagus. - Fish and chips. Perhaps my go-to order in unfamiliar bars. If the place does F&C right, they're at least A-OK with me. Cooper's version is very good. Nicely cooked fish and the fries are great. - Fairly extensive beer list, so I was happy there. - Ambiance is cool and the service was stellar. - The two people hanging out at the hostess stand didn't seem to be aware of the correct wifi password. If a bar offers wifi, everyone there should know it.

This place was pretty cool. I believe it was a little on the pricey side for what it was, but that's fine. I wasn't really impressed with their drink specials/offerings. Their poutine was what I remember most. I need more poutine in my life.

Cooper's Craft & Kitchen is hella chill; sure, you've got 30-something's drinking in the afternoon, but no one's belligerent & everyone's having a damn good time. The varied & interesting craft beer & cocktail menu is no surprise, given the restaurant's name, but I was happy to discover that the kitchen part is just as good. While everyone on the planet celebrates Taco Tuesday, Cooper's comes through with $1 fish tacos on Monday. Not a big, meaty piece of fish, so order two if one won't suffice. The gravy in the Poutine is made with ox tail & the cheese curds are addictively chewy & flavorful. Because you always have to have a veggie, even when gorging yourself on beer & pub food, we ordered an Arugula Salad which looked like summertime with its peaches & watermelon radish. The Mushroom Flatbread made for a hearty, delicious 2am snack. Everything is worth ordering again next time. Service was the kind you hope for in a convivial, bustling place. Our waiter greeted us promptly & kept tabs on us after our food hit the table without interrupting. He'd frequently walk by, catch our eye, & if we didn't need anything, leave us to continue chatting it up between forkfuls of surprisingly good bar fare.

Not impressed. Nothing special here and the drinks were crazy expensive for what you got. Martini glass is a thimble so beware. Beers aren't exactly cold. I'd pass on Cooper's
