I give 4 stars because I ate well and the service makes me want to live in this restaurant again. Very good restaurant

One of our favorite go-to spots in Long Beach. My wife likes the caesar salad with a Beyond Burger on top and I choose the tuna wrap. Sitting in the back patio with a retractable roof is quite nice - and less noisy. Staff is attentive and friendly. It takes a while for the food to arrive so don't be in a rush. If you're hungry, order an appetizer first. read more

Went for Steak night, and asked for a Steak to go, they said no because the special is dine in only. Perhaps next time I will order a Steak for dine in, take a bite and ask for a box to go read more

This place rocks. They had live music. Friendly staff and most importantly great food.

Made reservations for our bridal party of 18 the night before our wedding since we read tons of great reviews. I'm so happy we did! The food was delicious and the service was great. On the night of our reservation, the manager called me to inform that the previous party had arrived to their reservations late and asked if we could come 30 minutes later because they would try to get that party out by then. Of course! We appreciated the courtesy call, which was unexpected. Our entire party arrived by 8:30 and the previous party still hadn't left, but they were in the process of getting their bill, etc. We didn't get seated till 9-9:10, which is the only reason why they lost a star. Afterwards, things just went uphill! Our server was amazing and friendly. Their drink selection was great. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed our night! read more

We love JJ Coopers. We have been going there for many years. My favorite is the Long Beach Chopped Salad with Shrimp or Tuna. The drinks and entertainment are pretty awesome too. read more

I really like the ease or booking reservations online. The food is consistently good. And with tons of parking I find it enjoyable and not stressful as in west end. I do have two wishes Offer gluten-free corn tortillas for the cornbread shrimp tacos Bring back the harvest salad-I see it's in wrap form on the menu but the huge salad option I miss. We'll be back read more

I was having a last minute surprise party for my cousin and my friend recommended JJ Coopers. We had a few days to pull it together and Rob could not have been more helpful. I think I put him through the wringer a bit because it was last minute and things kept changing. Well, he gave us the most fabulous menu! The food was extra specially delicious! Skirt steak, short ribs, pasta with broccoli rabe, sausage and shrimp. Anyone who knows me knows I'm all about the broccoli rabe. The room was beautiful, the servers, Michele and Ryan were exceptionally professional. It was a delightful experience. I will go there again and I recommend it highly. read more

They donate a ton of food to the hard working staff at Grandell Rehab & Nursing Center. Everything was delicious! They sent more than enough to feed the 100+ employees. We will remember this when life goes back to normal. THANK YOU!!! read more

Came here last night for an event and was blown away by how delicious everything was! The restaurant is broken down into a bar area, an inside dining room, sidewalk dining area, and a patio area out back with a retractable roof, so there's truly an atmosphere for every mood. Great music was playing in the bar area when we came in that later changed over to live music, which JJ Coopers has every night. The GM, Matt, is an absolute sweetheart and showed great interest in all his customers and their experience. The chef here clearly understands how flavors compliment one another and has some really fun and creative dishes. My favorite dishes were the Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes and the Asian Marinated Skirt Steak for dinner, and the Fried Oreo for dessert. Will definitely be back! read more

We only stopped in briefly but had a nice time! It was kind of like life before covid...! Live music, sports on TV. All of the staff wear masks of course and what made me comfortable was that the front door and all of the windows were open, creating good airflow that we know is critical to preventing spread. The single musician playing an acoustic guitar kept things fun and lively. read more

Coopers is one of the best Pubs in town with a very large selection on the menu, and a very nice wait staff. I usually sit at their bar rather than the tables that are So-So. read more

Good pub, always busy. Food is "bar" quality. The re-did the place not too long ago and its nice. I wouldn't suggest it for a good restaurant --its a modern pub/sports bar that serves food. Good local watering hole to meet larger groups of friends. read more

I hosted my sister's surprise 30th birthday in the private room upstairs. The service was exceptional, we had our own private bar, and management was incredibly easy to work with. All of our guests were raving about how kind and accommodating the staff was. I would highly recommend JJ Coopers for a private event! Excellent f&b packages with so much to choose from. read more

JJ Coopers - a dining room with tables and chairs - Bars Near Me - Long Beach, New York

Met with my visiting family for lunch and was not disappointed. Last time I was here it was fir a wedding after party and it was great as well. Today, almost all of us got burgers that were excellent all around. I got the black & bleu burger with a gluten free bun, minus the fries onions for sautéed and subbed a salad to replace the fries. It was sooo good. I also had a piece of my sisters artichoke & spinach cauliflower pizza-it was sooooo tasty! The only thing I forgot was to take pics! But I will, bc I'll be back. read more

Aweful ..happy hour wines tasted like crap..vicki the bartender was unpleasant..unaccomdating Annoyed that i as ked her to change my wine because i did not like it..a pleasant bartender adds to your night This one needs to take public relations course read more

This place is cute and lively. A little bit loud at times on the weekend. Muscles were amazing (had the curry edition). Started with the watermelon salad which was also very good. Tried the fries which were good, and the tomato soup with a half grilled cheese on the side. Yum! Service was attentive! Overall drinks and food were really good but it was hard to hear other member of our party. read more

Came here for with a small group of friends to get out a bit during this pandemic and couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. The waitress (unfortunately I don't remember her name) was attentive and funny. It was not too crowded at all, lots of open space. We ordered Buffalo wings and they were the best wings I've ever had in my life. Friends got salads which they loved and we also got the caprese pizza as an appetizer which was delicious. I got the skirt steak wrap. Steak was cooked perfectly and the horseradish sauce inside was amazing. Can't wait to go back to JJs! read more

Always spot on! I've never had a bad meal at JJCoopers. The service is amazing. Steak Night is so worth the price. It won't disappoint.

Amazing setting and food! You must try the meatball appetizer and if you're a margarita drinker, this place is for you. The atmosphere was a bit loud, but then again we were sitting at a table by the bar. We didn't mind it at all. Just a warning for those that prefer a calmer place at night. read more

Very chilling place close to the beach. Fries is really delicious. Drinks are little light tho. Nice environment with lots of vibes. read more

Very nice upscale renovation, excellent bar team and craft selection. Have only had one dinner so far, but it was outstanding. Meat and cheese boards are a very welcome addition to the menu, and the selection was delish! Four dinners, each properly prepared and cooked. We'll be back very soon! Stopped in for wings yesterday, just outstanding!! read more

I absolutely love the new ambiance here after their recent renovations. Wonderful menu and food. Vicki the bartender always a class act. Courteous, professional and always friendly. read more

Favorite go to date night! Well thought out and executed menu hitting anyone's cravings. You can always find the perfect thing on the menu. The menu changes briefly during the season but a few things I recommend: Fall/winter: pumpkin ravioli Chicken quesadilla Wild mushroom flatbread read more

My first time here, the place has a really cool feel to it. It's really clean. The customer service was awesome. The food.... my chicken tidbits were super good but next time I'd ask them to toast the bread more. The mussels are AWESOME!!! super garlicky! Really good beer selection! I had the Kona. And the vodka cucumber drink is sooooo refreshing, def try that! Market Price lobster didn't impress me...I'd skip that next time too! Ohhh and BONUS points for the stylish glass bottles still water on the tables! read more

Most delicious and fresh food!! I've been coming to JJ Coopers for ever!!!! My fave restaurant!!! Staff is super friendly and ready to make your experience the most pleasant ever the margaritas are the best!!!!! Will always keep coming back read more

Love the renovations to this place. The specialty cocktails at the bar aren't that great and when I asked for one the bartender couldn't make it because she was out if ingredients. The food was pretty good for bar food. I wouldn't say the meals were great but after all it is a bar at the end of the day. We had the wings which were a nice size and not the small little flaps you get at some other places. The truffle fries were good but they could have used more truffle and more cheese - they use steak fries so for the size of the fry I expected them to be covered in ingredients but that wasn't the case. The steak panini was delicious as well as the short rib. They had pumpkin raviolis which I guess are seasonal and the sauce was so tasty. The ravioli itself wasn't that great but the sauce had a nice sage, garlic kick and was topped with mushrooms. They have water on the table in a pretty crafty glass jug and although it's simple I think it's a nice touch. For the ambiance and service I will be back. I wouldn't come back for the specialty drinks because I feel their alcohol is watered down (unless vodka was left out of my martini). Good place for burgers and small bites. read more

After a nice day on the boardwalk was looking for an elevated mid day bite. Not crowded. Our waiter was nice but seemed overwhelmed. Food took like 25 minutes for apps and 30 more to get our mains. I had a salad which was good, although not enough dressing. Asked for more, never came. The Mrs. Had the short rib burger. Short rib was dry, burger was overcooked and looked like something that came out of a package. Not the "short-rib burger" implied on the menu. Overcooked hockey puck, inedible. When the waiter came to clear the plates said nothing. Very average by my take and not worth the 70 plus tip that i threw. read more

i'm so glad they're still open during covid. they have the best food in long beach. anytime someone i know from out of town asks for a spot to grab food and drinks jj coopers is always my first recommendation. love love love them!!!!! and the service is amazing! no complaints. read more

We had a great dinner at JJ Coopers on a recent Saturday evening. We sat outside on the street side which was the only place you could get away from the extremely loud inside. I mean we couldn't hear each other standing next to each other waiting to be seated. We could still hear the music outside though which was nice. The tuna appetizer was the best thing we had. It was great and beautifully plated. We had a salad with added salmon which was a huge entree sized piece and delicious. The steak sandwich was excellent. The only downside is the extreme noise if you are inside, but if you like a loud bar scene you will love everything there. read more

Went there to celebrate my birthday with my family and it was a perfect dinner. We waited at the bar for everyone to arrive and enjoyed some drinks first, our bartender was friendly and made great drinks. Our server, Mary was friendly as well and suggested some great apps before we order dinner. I was in the mood for a juicy burger and wasn't disappointed, perfectly cooked and loaded with bacon and blue cheese, with a side of crispy broccoli rabe. Mary's service was great, made sure our drinks stayed full and that everyone was happy with their food! read more

I've lived in Long Beach my entire life and visited what was Sutton Place many times. When my best friend asked me to go see the venue for her engagement party at JJ Coopers, I did not connect the two. Her party is being held in the back room at this beautifully renovated location. We went on a Wednesday night to check out the space, meet with the owner Rob and have a cocktail at the bar. I was immediately impressed by the new wood accents and the impressive light colored marble bar. The red high-top chairs added a very nice touch. It had a very upscale vibe. Upon arriving the bartender (who was wonderful, and coincidentally also named Rob) took our wine order. We chatted and relaxed at the bar for a moment before taking the tour. There were a lot of young couples on dates, seated at the bar. Which totally made sense to me, as this place now LOOKED like the kind of bar you would want to take a date to, to impress them. I would absolutely consider going on a date there and hanging at the bar. Onto the back room, which converts into the patio in the summer.,It is absolutely perfect for a 75-90 person cocktail party . I love the wood floors and exposed brick. I kept commenting on how wonderful the pictures taken in that room are going to look. The elevated ceilings definitely help to keep the air flowing, and everyone comfortable in the space. The bar set up within the room is efficient, and there are several staff members that will be designated specifically for her party. The service they provide seems to be top notch. I cannot stress how great Rob was. He let us ask him a MILLION questions :) and was extremely patient and informative. He did not leave one stone unturned when it came to our concerns. He took the time to walk us through the exact way everything would be put into place the night of the party. It gave us a really great understanding of how we would arrange balloons and decorations. We are feeling really confident now that we met with Rob. Rob then brought us back to the bar, where we had the crab cake appetizer (delicious, the avocado yumminess on top is unreal) and discussed the menu. He made excellent recommendations based upon the passed hor d'ouvres she was choosing. He was professional and honest, but made her feel comfortable. I would definitely work with Rob on my next party. I will update my review after the party, but I find it hard to believe it would be any less than the excellent service we've experienced thus far. I would highly recommend considering this for your next event. read more

Been coming here on and off for about a year. Great atmosphere, live band but not too loud. Bartenders are friendly, great food. Good for date night. read more

I learned quite a few things during my experience with JJ Coopers. The most important being my friends and I will never go back. We had a reservation and weren't sat until 45 minutes after our time. We were also informed the kitchen told the hostesses to stop sitting people because they were "too busy". Once seated we didn't have a waitress for another 25 minutes because "the one server for outside isn't doing too well on his own". We didn't get water let alone refills once we started getting our food. We put in our appetizers and entrees at the same time since it was difficult for us to find a server. Needless to say that was a mistake considering all our food came out at once. (The Kung pao calamari was rubbery) the rest of the food was okay, again nothing worth waiting as long as we had. Then when it came time to pay our check... we had decided to leave a cash tip and we didn't put it with the receipt because we were still finishing our food and drinks. The waitress actually came out faster than she did the entire time we were sitting. Asking where her tip was. Told us she was concerned because the "guys who bus steal our tips... have been fired and rehired". Needless to say we were speechless and immediately left because the entire process was a nightmare. Especially since our check was over $200. Do NOT waste your time. read more

Attended a bridal shower here and it was absolutely fabulous! The privet room with a complete sun roof was perfect for the party! The staff gave outstanding service with wonderful etiquette, experience and had a genuine smile on their face the entire time. Food and drinks where delicious and everyone at the party said so, which you know proves it to be true! The restaurant had a nice dinning room and bar that felt versatile to either have a nice dinner out, celebration or a fun place to go for drinks and watch a game with a bunch of friends! Very clean. This was my first time here and I can't wait to go back for a nice dinner or lunch myself! read more

Went to J J Coopers last night. We made a reservation for a table outdoors and was told that we would be on "the patio". Since it was raining, I called to confirm the reservation and was told that we would be fine on the patio. Please be aware that the "patio" is a totally enclosed space...not outside at all. There are no windows, may be a retractable roof that was closed. We should have been told of the set up when I asked to sit outdoors. read more

Good food and awesome service.The calamari is my favorite.We order every time we visit.

Food is amazing. Love their spread. Great bar area. Happy hour is awesome. Never disappointed

This place is horrible.They kept my parents waiting for their meal for an hour and half and the owner told them don't let the door hit you on the way out and don't come back.In todays age with restaurants needing buisness who treats people this way?Just shows with the owner you are and your response the type of person you are.Maybe you should look to do something else since customer service isn't obviously your area of expertise. read more

Stopped in for a light meal and was wowed. Awesome Arugula and apple salad. So fresh. Truffle fries and a lovely Cabernet. Very friendly waitress. Great vibe. Then the live music started! This place is a gem. Thanks! read more
