It was Sean's first time, so I was curious to see what he thought...and he definitely enjoyed it! We sat at a high-top in the bar, which was a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Sean got the blue cheese and bacon burger, and I went with the Bolognese. Both were really good, and we all enjoyed our meals. The drinks were good, the service was attentive, and we had a great time hanging out together. And I have to mention it again...the bathroom is pretty impressive! Another really enjoyable visit to Cooper's, and we'll definitely be back....and I totally spaced it on taking a picture of the food because it was so good and I was so hungry, by the time I thought about it...it was basically gone

Service was fine, it's really the food that wasn't all that great. The restaurant has the look but…read morenot the flavor. To start I wanted to try a cup of the steak soup of the day. It came out mushy and salty, not bright or even like a stew. It was more like an over cooked beef stroganoff but it just wasn't good. I put that to the side and out came my taco salad in a stale fried tortilla shell. It wasn't freshly fried, I'm sure it's been sitting there. The beef wasn't seasoned well... idk it was just meh. It was like boiled not fried. Again, just couldn't enjoy it. The food was off. My friend had the flautas or taquitos appetizer. She didn't like hers either, It had a lot of guacamole on top of them and she said it had no flavor so she added salt, still didn't enjoy them. We should have listened when our friends told us it wasn't good and over priced at that. Lesson learned... What could improve is the menu. Maybe slim it down so you can make sure your dishes are quality. Get a chef that knows the difference between a soup = broth and over cooked stroganoff. And if Mexican food isn't your strong hold (cause this was definitely not authentic) then just don't bother trying. Don't pre fry your tortillas, they do pick up a stale flavor. Just don't make Mexican food, it's not your thing and that's ok.

On my way back from March Madness in Portland, I decided to stop by this Irish pub to catch up with…read morea long-time friend. To my surprise, the place was packed with customers on a Sunday afternoon. I expected a slower pace, but it was anything but. The atmosphere was lively, with people playing pool and enjoying themselves. One of the unique features of this pub is a table game that many of you may not be familiar with. It's called Table Shuffleboard, and it's one of my favorites. I've played it a few times in Alaska, and it's a great game. To play, you simply request the pucks from the servers, and it's a lot of fun. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area. We ordered a couple of beers, which were fairly decent. I had the Irish Death, and my friend opted for some of the commercialized beers like Blue Moon. They also ordered some wings, which they said were very good. They recommended that if you want extra crispy wings, you should have them fried hard. The sweet potato fries were cold, but the bartender was quick to take care of that. She brought us a fresh batch in a matter of minutes. The customer service was excellent throughout our visit. I'm giving this pub a three out of five stars. I'd like to come back and try some of the food, especially in the game day environment. I'm a vegetarian, so I didn't eat much of the food we had, but I'll definitely come back and try it again. I'll also come at night to see how it is before I consider upgrading the rating. Overall, I'll be returning to this pub for a second experience.

Turns out that the kitchen was closed, so they only had a "late night menu" available, which consisted of like 7 different fried dishes lol ... blurry picture bc I was hungry Got the $7 crispitos, which are 2 cheesy daquitos that were pretty good. Also got the potstickers, which I swear are ling ling ones from Costco that they likely just popped into the air fryer. Good, yes, but that was like $11! bruh service was good, too. I am surprised that there was not commotion at this spot, especially because there is karaoke. I feel as though the people working here are better off at dine-in or take-out restaurants because I just did not get the bartender vibes. I trust that they make the drinks well here, even though I did not order any, but maybe good emphasis on their $10 walkout fee would have been nice. that and making it quick with giving the bill because it took them hours. to be fair, we could have asked, but I could see those who are under the influence to walk out and end up paying a fee that they were not aware about at all. came here during a time that nears Christmas, so pretty cute with the Christmas lights and decorations. Very cozy feel with reds and greens on the walls, doors, etc. but, not many people performing for karaoke :(

Our guests are still talking about how great the drinks were and how fun the bartenders made the night. They handled the crowd effortlessly, kept lines moving, and always had a smile on their faces--even during the busiest moments. The bar setup looked fantastic, the drinks were perfectly made, and the whole experience felt seamless and stress-free for us as the couple. We loved that they provided glassware and even allowed for us to buy our own alcohol. Buying our alcohol was a must for us since we had a wedding of 230 people so we wanted to get it from a store that allowed us to return the extra bottles that were unopened. The option of making our own bar signs was a plus as well because I loved being able to DIY as much I was able to. They are also one of the only few bartending companies around that is more in the affordable range which was very much appreciated due to our guest count being on the higher side. If you're looking for a bartending company that brings great vibes, excellent service, and total professionalism, look no further. They truly helped make our wedding unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend!

Modern day ones, old arcade machines, claw machines, you name it! My son who is the gamer of the family was in heaven here. We ended up grabbing a couple drinks from the bar and it was so cool! They have fun themed cocktails plus a you-pour-it tap wall. And they have a ROBOT BARTENDER! I got a drink made by the robot and it was pretty good albeit very sweet. I got the Princess Peach one. My husband used the you-pour-it wall for cider and they had awesome local selections. We ended up eating at the restaurant too and their menu is pretty extensive! We got a couple different types of pizzas and for an arcade, it was pretty dang solid. We got a chicken pesto pizza as well as a cheese pizza. The kids loved their cheese pizza (hard to mess that up) and we scarfed down the chicken pesto! Also, did I mention your food is also delivered by robots?! Such a fun touch for the kids! They also have tables with game consoles and tvs on the wall which is a great way to keep hungry kiddos distracted. Definitely suggest checking this spot out, with or without the kids!

The owner, Sunny allows patrons to be verbally and/or physically attacked. If you're looking for a good bar fight, Cedar is your place. There is a sewage problem. The bathrooms are so gross that I almost want to vomit. God forbid they run out of toilet paper. If you ask for more, that's when some female will approach you and will yell at you. Oh & if you try to tell someone with authority you have been attacked, the owner will 86 you. One of the bartenders over serves the patrons regularly. I imagine that's why there are so many bar fights. The owner is usually wasted herself and sleeps in a storage closet when she can't drive herself home. Out of all the places I visit, Cedar is by far the worst. I do not recommend it. read more
