  • Geoff Batchelor

Great food at reasonable prices - the Sunday Lunch is very good indeed. Great selection of beer: cask, craft and European. Wine list is smaller, but very good. Staff really helpful and friendly. What I like particularly is they do not just do the standard pub food, but some more interesting items. And even the normal pub fare (burgers, fish & chips, sausages etc) are done well. Reasonably good vegetarian choices. A lot of good lighter lunch options, which makes it one of my favourite places for lunch. Timothy Taylor's Landlord and Okell's Bitter are regulars, with a good rotation of other beers of wide ranging types. Decor is very nice, light and airy. Thoroughly Recommended for everyone, as everyone will find something to appreciate. Added: Now doing a great steak night on Thursdays. We had wonderful steaks at a very reasonable price. Even more offers now in place.

Started an exploration of a few pubs in Guiseley here as the previous place didn't sell ale. This was a good decision as Coopers had a great range of beers and the staff were lovely. Also, the food was spot on. The place is quite discuss and open, with a pleasant decor (the shade of green on the ceiling reminded me of snooker tables; just missing a trick with not having coloured spots for the balls ☺️) For the grammar pedants out there, I know you'll be asking where the apostrophe is. If you figure it out, do let me know. I suppose it's a marketing and brand thing. Regardless, don't let it stop you from coming to an excellent pub.

The staff are friendly but I’m sorry your toilets are from a slum! They absolutely stink, I came in last week with 6 friends and one was blocked and the stench was eye watering. I was embarrassed in front of my friends because this was my recommendation. When I went later, the blockage was cleared but they still stunk. Thought they would have sorted but no! The following week I’m here with friends and they still stink. This makes me wonder about the kitchen and the rest of their cleanliness. Won’t be coming again.

We were regular customers to Coopers before my wife became pregnant, coming for a drink most Sunday evenings to toast off the weekend. My wife gave birth a few weeks ago and we thought we would go for a drink on Saturday evening to cope with the heat -- for the last time at Coopers. The bar man was incredibly rude when gesturing that their licence doesn't accept infants. An over the top shake of the head topped it off. Had it been put to us in a understanding way it wouldn't have been an issue. Once welcomed with open arms. Seems to have lost its touch.

  • ellen kehoe

We decided to have sunday lunch at coopers in Guiseley today but what a bad bad decision that was. We ordered two leg of lamb dinners but we were served roast lamb dinners, one teaspoon of mash each, raw parsnips, under cooked greens , wrinkly overcooked carrots, two halfs overcooked roast potatoes . a very small amount of cauliflower for two people cold gravy and cold plates, £10.95 each was a joke, never visiting coopers again. It was so understaffed also. Our experience was very unpleasant to say the least.

  • Andy Callaghan

We dined in the restaurant and had fantastic food. The beer and a pint deal was great value. Fresh food! We then ventured to the beer festival. As a fan of Pale Ale, there was a fantastic range to choose from, the band Motor City Blues provided a fantastic set with a range of music. Their performance was free of charge in aid of the charity raising funds. It’s fantastic that we have this pub with a great venue on our door step. Can’t wait to visit again!

Coopers is a wonderful establishment in Guiseley, having gone from strength to strength in recent years, they have a fantastic selection of beer, wine and good quality food. Whether you are grabbing a gourmet sandwich at lunchtime or washing down their delicious seasonal fodder with a pint of continental lager or real ale, they really have a wide range of products from around the world which cater for any taste. Exceptional service and very friendly atmosphere, love this place!

  • Sharon Hiley

The food was ok but I found the staff pretty unwelcoming and ever so inconvenienced by us asking to eat. They stop serving at 9pm and we couldn't get there until 8.45pm. So I asked if we were ok to eat, they said yes begrudgingly, no smiles. The minute the card reader had taken my money the member of staff did an about turn to the kitchen and gave no receipt or indication that that was the end of the interaction / transaction! Wouldn't go again.

  • McW

Been many times before, but very disappointed this time. Many items from menu not available by 7pm. Portions small, burger luke warm. Coffee machine not working, which is a big disappointment for designated driver. All against the backdrop of going out being very expensive these days. Hospitality needs to give a quality service if we're to be tempted to spend money in these hard times.

Coopers is a nice pub with A good selection of beers. It has two notable downsides which should not be ignored. 1. The cost of the ale is double the rate of most pubs and a real rip off. 2. The beer is not served in the traditional method and is always topped up and losses it's head, the bar staff have not got a clue how to pull the well kept beer. In my view for a real ale house camera approved this is shocking.

  • Daniel Bennett

Quirky, unique bar. Brilliant service from the staff and it has a nice relaxed vibe. Food is served from lunch till evenings and resevartions can be booked. Ideal place for people who love craft beers and ciders. They have a function room upstairs that is available for bookings. I've been once for a comedy night that was hosted, really good laugh! Highly recommend this place for a few drinks or a sit down meal.

  • Amy L

One of the things I loved about Coopers was the range of different drinks they servED. Unfortunately I think the company must be under new management, because at both Coopers & Bar Tat they have started serving more mainstream draft beer/cider that you could get anywhere. It's a good job they have such FANTASTIC staff or you could just go anywhere else.

Been to coopers beer festival . I go around with camra . I paid £10 up front just lasted 45 mins . I normally do not go below 5.5 % . As you can get this in a normal pub . Yet I had to drop to 4.5 % as top range beers did not settle . Also on line needs to change as main bar just has 6 pumps not 8

Last time we visited we gave this place a 4*, sadly we have seen a decline in service and food quality. I don’t want to bang on about what went wrong, but sufficient to say that we have noticed that standards are dropping, fish pie lacks fish, cheese and biscuits were terrible, Jacobs crackers, teaspoon of pickle and a meagre amount of cheese all for £9

  • Christine Wood

Went to a comedy night in the upstairs room. Second time been and it was a very good night. Only negative was far too many people in the small room. We were at the back and not enough room for people to get out so we were constantly being knocked. Even had an elbow in side of head! Much better first time we went in May as not as many chairs and people.

  • Mandy Dunne

Been coming to Coopers for a long while now. One of our favourite places to chill, meet friends and have a bite to eat. All the staff are extremely friendly especially Liam Olliver....always great to have a chat with, cheers Liam

  • Christine Ann Finn

Basically a popular bar with a pleasant separate eating space. Good varied menu with something for everyone. Reasonable prices and swift service delivered by friendly staff. Good range of beers and gins. After perhaps a dozen visits for an evening meal we have never been disappointed. Xmas menu available; three courses for £24.

  • Ellie Mae

Been and was sadly disappointed. Ordered pie and chips and got a quarter of a slice of pie, and three chips for £9.60. I asked for ketchup and got the same white cup as what McDonald's use. Overpriced beer and bad service. Overall. I was that hungry I had to get a subway upon leaving. Don't go if you don't want to be mugged

  • David Crombie

The Naughty and Spice Burger! It's deliciously messy. The best burger in Yorkshire by far. You have to have one. Chicken or beef - it doesn't matter - both are wonderful. And if that's not enough a large range of quaffable ales. And friendly staff (I thought that wasn't allowed anymore.) You have to go. Just go! Now!

  • Hazel Mulroy

Bloopers at Coopers ! No pie, no lamb koftas, no rump steak, no coffee. Instead bland and barely warm burger and child size portion of chicken and chorizo salad. Overpriced and underwhelmed! Why ask "how was the meal "then do nothing regarding the complaint?

Great place for a Sunday lunch and a good selection of beers and wines,slightly over priced for what you get, four of us sharing two small portions of veg with our roast and one jug of gravey, charged when we asked another. Short walk from train station,which was handy for us.

  • Joe Carmichael

Happy to call this place my local. A decent selection of beers. Great food. Nice little beer garden out the back with heaters. The only problem is the acoustics in this place. It doesn't have to be busy before you can barely hear one another in here, hence the missing star.

  • Terry Gudgeon

I have nothing but praise for the staff, food and location. The prices were good and food cooked perfect. We had the Thursday steak night, amazing value, we will definitely be back!

Hate leaving poor reviews but the service tonight was dreadfull! The food was average the beers were great but we're still waiting to be asked if we want deserts after long long waits between courses! Maybe concentrate on being a bar not a bistro!

  • Catherine Fleetwood-Walker

I love this bar. Dog friendly, variety of ales/beers/ciders, good bar snacks, and a nice eating area if you wish to be away from casual drinkers. They've also fit a small but cosy beer garden / smoking area into the back of the building.

  • James

The real gem of this fine establishment is the staff and always has been. Nothing short of fantastic and we’ve never felt so welcome. Warm, inviting and with beers/food to match. Reece and Tom are really one-of-a-kind, including Maisie,

Always a warm friendly welcome from the staff here, add to that a great range of beers and a sense of belonging that you get from a proper local makes it a great way to pass a few hours. We didn't eat this week so I have left the food

  • Ian Waghorn

Friendly staff, good atmosphere, drinks selection and menu. A number of food items not available and nearly got charged double as given the wrong bill when only one other table left. Risotto wasn't the best either. Other meal enjoyed.

  • Joe Leddy

Good venue. Beer and food is always great. Quite popular with the 30+ age range. My only minor criticism is the tendency for it to get very busy on a Friday and on weekends. However, this is goes to show how popular the place is!

  • John Blyth

Had a great afternoon for Xmas dinner. Attentive staff, bar one!! Food was nicely cooked and presented. I chose pork over turkey and was disappointed to miss out on roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, parsnips, pigs in blankets

  • Leon Rice

Great food and always a good selection of ales and beers. Staff always very welcoming and I like that they let dogs in. My only criticism would be that they could do with a sofa or two as the seating is not particularly comfy.

  • Sonja Bresching

Very nice and cosy pub. I especially liked the mulled wine. I visited Yorkshire and come from Germany. Our son in law likes Coopers Pub as well. Good beer and a dogfriedly house, nice and friendly guests. I enjoyed the stay.
