i was quite surprised that i hadn't written a review for coopers already, because it was almost like love at first sight. i've been to so many pubs around abu dhabi, but this one definitely stands out and how.
coopers is a very casual place for a group of friends to spend a few hours at, slightly far from the city but totally worth the drive because i've honestly failed to visit a pub that i have had so much fun at.
i decided to go here right after the weekend on the 1st day of the week i.e. sunday with a few friends who had come down from dubai. however, before we could get here we also went to balcony lounge which was under construction then and some place at aloft which was absolutely dead. but the minute we entered coopers, it honestly seemed like the weekend was back again. the place was packed, the music was brilliant.
it was initially slightly tough to get seated here since it was that crowded, which came as quite a shock to us, since it was a sunday. but with the help of the friendly staff that works here, we managed to get a table.
we were already done with dinner so decided to go with a jalapeno cheese bites with cheddar cheese and the coopers nachos, both these dishes were the perfect food to compliment our cocktails. the quantity was perfect for the 6 of us and it was absolutely delicious.
they had a huge variety of beverages to serve, we all decided to call for a cocktail each and these were made really well and i also managed to sip on one of the best blue lagoons i’ve ever had.
like i already mentioned before, the staff here is super friendly or maybe we were just 6 girls so we got all their attention.
also the music here on a sunday was really good, i can't even imagine how much better it gets on the weekend. also the punjabi-ness in us came out when we convinced a british dj in an english pub to play lungi dance and balam pickari, oh well, blame the superb cocktails.
they also have a ladiesnighton wednesday, need to try that soon.
i would rate this place a perfect 5/5 from my experience here.
