Wow, the worst bar experience that I've ever had!

My friends and I (there were about 6 or 7 of us) walk in expecting a mellow night of food, beer, and pool. Boy, were we wrong! We arrived around 9:30pm on a Wednesday tonight and the bartender immediately tells us that it's been slow so shes calling "Last Call". Ok, thats fine.. We'll get our drink orders in during last call. Kitchen was closed despite the weekly kitchen specials signs still outside (something that pulled us into the bar to begin with).

We spent about $45 on a few pitchers, head to our table to have our beers and converse as any regular young guys would do. We didn't come in expecting any trouble. We were just minding our business when not only 20 minutes later, the bartender yells "drink up!!!". Mind you, we just purchased $45 worth of pitchers. One pitcher with 12% alcohol, which hit us immediately btw. We're not a buncha 21 year olds that pound a beer or two then drive off drunk. So we took our time. A friend of ours was playing pool (which was free btw... They'd get 3 stars for that alone but since the bartender was rude, I'm giving them a 1 star review) with who seemed to be a regular customer. The regular didn't seem to be in a hurry to finish his beer so we figured it was alright to take our time with our drinks, play a round of pool, and just hang out. During that one round of pool, she once again yelled "Drink UP!!!"

I got the hint. I headed outside to have a cigarette and wait for the pool game to finish up after finishing my last pint of beer when one of my buddies comes outside upset at this bartender. I heard her saying "Well don't come in on the nights that I work!" This was around 10:30pm. Btw, the bar was suppose to be open till midnight. I asked my buddy "What happened?" He tells me about how she was being super rude to him and said "We're closed, you're lucky I didn't pour your beers out sooner."

There's always two sides to a story but I assure you, my guys were being nothing but nice to this bartender. This is what we get for visiting a local bar and supporting local businesses. I'd expect this kind of treatment from a Hooters but not a local spot that probably thrives on business from locals.

Overall, the place was very clean (then again, it was pretty dead and I'd expect nothing less from a place that was so empty). The food specials seemed great (although we didn't get to sample the food because the kitchen closed so early). This is going to be the first and last time that I visit this place. I don't even write reviews for places on yelp but I felt compelled to write this due to the poor customer service that we received at the end of the evening.

By 10:30, we were outside. The lights immediately turned off. So much for a place that listed their hours till 12 midnight. DON'T GO THERE. Boom. Good night, Coopers.

If your into the micro brew this place is a winner!! Was there on Sunday prior to the Long Beach/CFS baseball game and was very impressed with there selections of IPA's!! We normally hit Joe Jost's or Iguana Kellys before the games but looks like that's going to change with Coppers around the corner!! Oh.. and the Titans did sweep the series!! Just saying!!

My cable was trippin and I needed a spot to watch the Lakers game

Came to this spot and saw the tvs, drink specials, pool table, trashy drunk guy??

How was this guy trashy drunk and I did not see any hard liqour behind the bar???

What got him trashy... beer... or whats behind door #2??

Any who, the service was meh, and it seem like a dive bar disguised as a sports bar.

Seen the game though....mission accomplished.

Thanks Coopers House
