The Cooper's Tavern

Still good pub food.

I recently tried the fish fry.. mmm mmm mmm. I LIKE IT~! nice fresh fish, but really the batter was kinda thick and flimsy.. at least the flavor was there. The stuffed grilled cheese was really good too.

AND POUTINE! I don't understand why it is so rare in Madison to get Poutine. The gravy sauce and melted cheese on fries? mmm mmm so goooooddd!

It's still crowded and packed, but the wait has improved for food to be served after ordering! Good job, Cooper's crew!

This bar is gorgeous!  In my two months here so far, this is my favorite in Madison and I've been to quite a few.  The servers are very nice, the menu is amazing and did I mention this place is gorgeous!  

Sadly, the only reason I cannot give Cooper's five stars is because my food today was just too greasy-I ordered the breakfast sandwich and the "English muffin" was nothing of the sort.  It was very greasy, with two greasy eggs and a slice of cheese. The side salad was boring, tasteless and plopped on the plate in a giant mess of a heap.  I have to say I would not order this dish again.  However, my husband's vegetarian scrambler with wheat toast and potatoes was pretty delicious.  I'll get that next time:)

Good overall atmosphere. Not too loud, but enough where it was lively and you're not shouting at each other.

I literally just had one glass of Moscato wine the whole 2 hours I was there, but it was a damn good one. Service was great, even though our table just had drinks and fries. We weren't ignored like some would typically, especially since we weren't ordering full meals.

Definitely coming back to try the menu.
