Coopers Craft and Kitchen:
As you may or may not remember, there’s an inextricable connection between beer, bars and college, so it makes sense that Cooper’s is named for the same man as nearby Cooper Union. Cooper was an industrialist in an era before “beer geeks” and “foodies” existed, so it’s hard to see why he deserves the eponymous honorarium bestowed upon him, but alas...Cooper’s serves gussied-up bar standards like fish ‘n’ chips ($14) and chicken pot pie ($13) meant to be paired with upscale craft brews like Allagash Curieux and Clown Shoes Tramp Stamp (draughts $6-8). The mid-size wood-paneled spot additionally offers 50 high-end bottled beers as well as cocktails that use house-infused liquor like the pear gin-based Cooper Union ($12) and the habenero-tequila-backed Mayor Edward. The scene is calmer than you’d expect from the ‘hood, rendering Cooper’s as a place you can actually contemplate your food, your drink and your life—which is maybe something you should have tackled while in college.
