We visited the Cooper Irish Pub after a movie at the Shops at the West End in St Louis park recently. I thought I had already done a write up on the Cooper, but I guess not. It is one of the pubs under the same ownership as the Local, Liffey and Kieran's in Minneapolis and St Paul. The menus are quite similar, if not the same and the drinks are the same, with all featuring the Big Ginger, which is a favorite drink of mine. Of course, I forgot to take a photo of the Big Ginger. It contains Two Gingers Irish whiskey, ginger ale, a lemon wedge and a lime wedge. It is pretty simple and quite refreshing and tasty.
John had the fish and chips with cod. The fish and chips is good, not as good as Anchor Fish and chips, but definitely good. The portion is very large and you can select from cod or Canadian walleye for your fish.
I had the chicken shots, which are chicken pieces lightly battered with a tangy 2 gingers whisky glaze and ranch sauce for dipping. It is a nice snack or appetizer item and I was not that hungry after snacking on popcorn during the movie, so this was perfect for me. The sauce is not spicy, but kind of sweet and sour.
We sat at the bar on this visit as there was a wait for a table and spots at the bar just opened up. The service was acceptable and it was getting very crowded by the time we left around 8pm. It is a good place to stop in and grab a drink before or after a movie.
Deals & discounts: Finally, some happy hour deals! Cooper has a great happy hour with food and beverage specials and it runs at both early and late times. I recommend checking the website for a current menu and times. Though I am not sure that is accurate, we were there on a Saturday before 6pm and got happy hour drinks, but according to the website, they do not offer happy hour on Saturdays, so I'm don't think the website is correct.
