Finally! A place in my own town that I can rate 5 stars. Cooper's is a small pub located in Pearl River. There's street parking around the neighborhood that becomes free after 6. I suggest you head towards the houses, away from town, if you can't find a spot. I've been anxious to try this place as the pictures look solid enough and reviewers thus far seem content. My wife and I entered with plans to have beer and apps. We ended up getting Guinness, onion rings, fried calamari and the Cooper's Burger. You can't beat a 22oz Guinness for $8. The prices on their website also match what you'll see inside. Lately I find so many restaurants are charging more than they advertise online. Service was great, friendly and very attentive. I was also surprised to see how well they clean tables between customers. Spray, wipe table, wipe lamp, shakers, etc. It's totally clean for the next customer. There are only 8 or so tables in here, plus bar seating. We enjoyed some comfy seats at a high top table for two. The onion rings were great - crisp and battered nicely so they hold together. While almost a little overcooked, they were still good and better than I had at the last high end steakhouse I went to. The fried calamari was fairly priced and a good portion. It had a light crispness, though bigger pieces would've been nicer. They were mostly small, but certainly a lot of it. The accompanying marinara was good and plentiful. We got the Cooper's Burger cooked medium and it came out medium. It's a simple burger that comes with lettuce and tomato. Some red onion wouldn't been nice. They charge extra for all sorts of stuff you can get on top - fried mushrooms, fried onions, eggs, etc. It also comes with fries, which were good. Overall, it was a nice cozy time. Several middle aged couples ate here that night and a couple small groups. No loud bar crowds as they're all on central avenue. In fact, I was surprised how nice the acoustics were inside. You can hear people at your table no problem, can hear the music inside at the right level and don't hear a lot of background chatter or noise. I'd most certainly return if in the mood for pub food. And ... No credit card fee! read more

The chicken quesadilla and cheese burger is our go to meals. Can't go wrong with the Service, always attentive and friendly. The place is set up like a small pub very inviting. read more

The place is relatively small. The bar and dining area blends smoothly. The high top tables and chairs setups are cozy, has a romantic cabaret touch and seats are surprisingly comfortable. The service is quick and friendly staff. The food was excellent! It isn't your typical pub, more like a classy pub style restaurant. We definitely enjoyed our dinner/drinks, and will definitely return. I highly recommend. read more

Coopers Restaurant and Bar - Guinness / Dark & Stormy - Bars Near Me - Pearl River, New York

I really enjoyed my cheeseburger. Cooked perfectly rare. What annoyed me was being told there would be an up charge to order mashed potatoes instead of fries when they were the same exact price in the menu. Other than that a good meal. Re: owners reply. It had nothing to do with portion size. I would have preferred mashed potatoes but was told to switch there would be an up charge. If the mashed were more expensive I'd understand but they were priced the same as the fries. read more

Coopers Restaurant and Bar - Cheeseburger and fries - Bars Near Me - Pearl River, New York

The 1st time I was there I was disappointed as the menu is limited if you dont eat beef, I spoke to the GM about the limited menu as she told me they were adding more items to the menu. I went back over a month later and its the same menu nothing new. A turkey buger or veggie buger would have been nice. So I ordered the wings and asked for ranch instead of blue cheese, the order had blue cheese so I asked for ranch again and got blue cheese again. Also someone there kept playing with the lighting. First they were bright and then dim, then bright again. This kept going on for over a half hour. I won't be going back read more

We returned for 3rd time and had a great meal. I realized when it comes to pub food you can't do a lot better, so pushing Coopers to a 5 Star. I tried their Shepards Pie and it was simply great. Not only do they pay attention to presentation (see photo), but it carried multiple smooth flavors, not a single overpowering flavor like others down the block. Large serving that I was told many don't finish, I did, it was that good, but I did skip lunch.., Wife had the Salmon which was fabulous, very fresh and tasty. I tried a bit and must say they found a very good cut. The veggies are also crisp and fresh. Nice job! Coopers has been added to our very short local fallback list. For very tasty and fresh Pub Food in a very friendly setting, you simply can't do much better. Keep up the good work, we will be returning soon! read more

Customer service is horrible walked in with a party of 8 can't begin to explain how disrespectful and disgusting the hostess was. She yelled and complained that she was busy. We didn't even get the opportunity to sit. The hostess slammed a table against wife complaining that she does not have time for this. Felt I was being racially profiled because I was Hispanic. What is going on man we're in 2025 that's not suppose to happen. We literally just walked out. If your going in with your family don't waste your time. Garbage service. Will never waste my time in pearl river. read more

Coopers was a nice small bar in pearl river. The atmosphere was more of a local spot where i didn't feel too welcome as a non-towny. Maybe it was since we came close to closing hours (9pm) felt a little rushed as soon as we walked in. Food was good no complaints on the burger and wings. Bit on the pricer side and felt s little pressured to buy drinks so 4 stars feels right. read more

Service is fantastic! Curry is amazing! Cozy but feels a little upscale compared to a typical pub!

Excellent staff, I felt like a regular on my first visit. Diverse menu, charming and comfortable atmosphere. I'll be back!

A nice surprise! I was staying in Montvale on business and wanted a good cocktail and light dinner. I got there at 6:30. A good crowd but a few tables available. Service was prompt. I enjoyed a gin gimlet and later had the wedge with shrimp. I'll definitely be back! read more

I will make a bold statement with the best burger in Pearl River ! Came in for an early lunch great food and excellent service !

Definitely go here. The food is amazing. We walked in on a whim and didn't regret it. We tried the chicken Caesar wrap and the Cuban sandwich. The food was fresh and delicious. We also had some signature cocktails. The espresso martini was made with fresh espresso and the margarita was the best we have had in a while. The restaurant is clean, cozy lighting, not too loud. Great vibe. We sat at the bar, but lots of families came in. Our bartender/ waitress was friendly and efficient. You can tell that she knows what she is doing and likes what she does. Definitely coming back here with friends or family for sporting events or for lunch/dinner. read more

Been here a few times. Enjoyed it each visit. People were nice and the service was friendly and attentive. Food was also quite good. I would describe it as high end pub food. Well thought out and not just thrown together. The fish and chips were excellent. Fresh and nice and crispy. Burger was also very good. Small place with a much better vibe than any of the other Pearl River pubs I have been to. Will definitely be back. Wish they were open for lunch. They do a great job. read more

I went on Mother's Day with my family. We had to change our reservation a few times to add more people and they were very accommodating. The food and service was wonderful. We started with the disco curry tots and the shrimp tostadas. Both were delicious. I got the fish and chips and tried the shepards pie, which again was very delicious. I will definitely be returning! read more

My wife and I decided to try Coopers on a quiet Sunday night. We both decided to have the fish and chips. The fish was excellent! I've been to London several times, and I must say that the fish and chips in Coopers was at least as good, if not better than what I got in London. The fries were great too! We also shared a Caesars salad and the Chocolate Mousse Supreme for desert -- both were very good. Add a couple of Guinnesses and how could we go wrong. The service was also excellent, and the owner was so nice -- he really cared about our experience, and checked on us throughout the meal. The place itself was very nice. It was quiet when we were there -- although I would bet it would not be as quiet on a Friday or Saturday night. I would highly recommend this place, and we will certainly go back -- next time on a busier night. read more
