Before the pirate ship, before the rooftop octopus, before selfies and craft cocktails… there was this.

These photos, tucked away in an old box, tell the story of Cooper’s in the 60s and 70s — when families gathered in wooden booths, the bar was standing-room-only on a Friday night, and Uncle Frank held court behind the taps like a local legend.

There’s something timeless about these moments. Laughter over fish dinners. First dates in tucked-away corners. Regulars who became part of the furniture (and part of the family).

Cooper’s has changed a lot over the years — but at its heart, it’s always been a place for good food, strong drinks, and unforgettable stories.

If these walls could talk…

Recognize anyone? Maybe your parents… maybe even you?
Tell us your Cooper’s memories — or just soak in the retro vibes
