Coopers Sports Bar & Grill

Really small, and gets crowded easily. I’m not sure what qualifies this as a sports bar other than the fact that they have a few flat screens up that show what ever games are on. Other than that, it’s your typical hood bar. The music is good, but the place isn’t good for dancing if that’s what you’re looking for. The slushy drinks taste good and are affordable. The hookah was a great price too, even though it’s hard to flag down the guy in charge of that. It’s an ok place, but was it worth the $ 10 to get in? No.

Came here on a Thursday night. Drinks were strong as shit (Long Island). The burger was ok, it was big and filling. The wings were good like they are at most bars because they are just wings lol. There was a pool table, jukebox and a man giving live entertainment at the end of the bar. They also have karaōke. The crowed was 30s-​50s. Seems most of the people were regulars. It’s a neighborhood bar, the name tells it all.

I was OBSESSED with this place for roughly a year. I only stopped going so that I wouldn’t get sick or bored with it. I LOVE THIS PLACE.
Parking: Can be an issue. It really all depends on what time you arrive. Sometimes I’ve had to park only as far as 3 blocks away, which isn’t too bad. Then again the day of the week you go has everything to do with how easily you’ll find parking.
Cover: Sometimes it’s 5, sometimes it’s 10. That’s for females. I am unaware of cover is different for men. They do have security. They check your ID at the door, and pat-​search you. A lady security officer takes care of the ladies. They wear a whole police looking uniform which can be slightly alarming when you first see it. Personally, i have never witnessed anyyhing go down in or outside of this bar. I always feel safe.
Seating: There are chairs at the bar. Plain and simple, get there EARLY if you’d prefer to be seated. Otherwise, you’ll be standing the whole time.
Attire: definitely don’t see a reason to come in here dressed like you’re going to the club. Its a local bar, but some people see things differently. Something super casul, or semi casual should do it. Ladies are usually in flats, sneakers, or heels.
Food: i usually don’t eat when i go out, but one particular night, i was super hungry. So i ordered the turkey burger on the menu. OMG! It was literally the BEST turkey burger I’d had in my life. What surprised me and i honestly don’t know why I’d never witnessed or thought of this myself, but they but turkey bacon on the turkey burger and it just blew my mind. I will say, as of lately, i believe they changed cooked. Last time i ordered this platter i wanted to cry. It was horrible. It went from being the best turkey burger, to the worst. I just picked the bacon off and left the burger… which was utterly and completely unseasoned along with the fries. I was severely disappointed. I have never ordered any other item off this menu.
Down to the nitty gritty!!!
Drinks: This establishment somehow has mastered to craft of making incredibly STRONG fishhbowls. I have had my share fair of fishbowls from many different places and they take the cake on this one. They have different flavor fishbowls, and they LOAD each one with gummy candies making it more enticing. I personally like the traditional blue fishbowls best, but the red ones are tolerable. ONE AND DONE. One of this bad boys always puts me in a tipsy daze. Most of the time i cant even finish the one I’ve ordered. A lot of people also like the alcoholic slush drinks. Not my cup of tea. Whenever I’ve tasted them, they are watered down due to the ice, I’d rather drink a fishbowl.
**Drink Specials** if you get there before 12, fishlbowls are only $ 5 which is amazing considering they jump to $ 15 after. They also serve $ 2 until 12 along with other specials.
They have tvs and play sports that is muted unless there is something big going on.
Music: i greatly appreciate the music here. This is part of the reason i like it so much. They have a dj who just plays everything i want to hear. They strictly play rap and hip hop, you won’t hear anything else.
Entertainment: They do have a pool table people play on. At 12 they fold it up to make more space.
Hookah: can’t beat a $ 10 hookah. Only issue with this is, you can only order from the «hookah person» and its literally a cat and mouse chase to get their attention. Sometimes you will have to wait a long time before you are attended to. And they only have but so many hookah units. If they’re out, you can’t smoke hookah until someone abandons theirs. Sometimes they’re just plain out of hookah.
I wish this place was bigger! When it gets packed, you can’t move. Worst mistake they ever made was letting their bartender Mona leave. She was the BEST. Nice, and funny. Definitely a riot.

Nice corner bar reasonably priced drinks. Gets a little too crowed on Fridays. Sometimes the promoters who work the door play games with the Cover. One minute it’s $ 5 to get in next minute $ 10. Overall worth checking out if your in the area.
