Very crowded tonight and table was taken. But staff found a better table for us upstairs to help us out! Food is reliable and good value.

We experienced lovely service and a specially prepared mocktail in celebration of our anniversary. Perfect location for a meal before a show in a local theatre.

Chicken Parma was probably reheated from a previous meal service. Chicken was dry and tough.

Coopers Inn is a great, reliable “local” pub- traditional pub food & environment. Friendly staff and were especially helpful & flexible - despite it being the 2nd last office working day (for many) before Christmas. We’ll be back.

Sadly, Hands down worst Parma I’ve ever had in my life. The nachos weren’t much better, for an easy no frills style pub in the city, that’s unfortunate. The buffalo chicken wings (which got substituted for strips) were really good. Friendly staff, decent prices, but just unfortunate food 🙁

We felt a bit mislead by the photos of Coopers Inn online which showed more of a bistro feel. Unfortunately we were seated in the bar which was very, very loud. There was other noisy patrons, numerous TVs playing sport and music playing. We asked if we could move tables but were told there was no space. Food was fair and price was reasonable to serving size. Service felt impersonal and rushed.
