Coopers Bar Brasserie & Function Room

I love this place. Recently renovated, I’ve visited about four times in the last few weeks. The food is delicious, my favourite is the pie — a must try!
Lots of local ales and a nice atmosphere, still highly recommend.

This place is good through the day and busy on an evening! If you like a wide selection of beers, ales and good quality food then this is the place for you. Most pubs/​restaurants in this price bracket say they serve good quality food but it really does show here, everything is alway fresh and tasty, never had a bad meal here. The staff are pretty sound too. Definitely recommend this place.

Fabulous pub. Stunning choice of ales. Lovely interior. Staff very friendly. Unless you are a fan of cosmetic chemical beers you’ll love Coopers bar.

It’s rare that I get to go for a drive, and with good reason: I don’t actually drive. But, thanks to recalling the recent review of this place from Kate W, whilst on an aimless jaunt along the outer roads of Leeds, this place called out from behind the windscreen of my cohort’s car. We pulled up and had to park opposite the Guisley theatre (who’re showing Guys and Dolls at the moment, if you care for it) and took a very brief and very chilly walk over to Coopers. The bar is large, with boothed areas for dining and supping, and boasts a number of past and present beer mats on the wall behind the bar.
I’m told there’s a huge function room upstairs, and sure enough there was plenty of literature about the bar with events coming up. We took advantage of their 3rds offer, where you can sample a 3^rd of three different pints on taster trays. In all, it meant we got to try 6 of the 8 beers on offer, and whilst I did my best to be cognisant of what I was drinking I quickly forgot which was which… Excepting the porter, which was the only dark beer on offer. With Kipling, Bete Noir, Wild Mule, Okams MPA and more, it was lots of fun taking in the different tastes. Being a beer fan, but not fanatic, it was great to get a feel for how the different flavours come through, from overtly citrus, to hoppy, to chocolate. And of course, each tray is priced at the cost of one pint.
The bar is dog friendly, as we saw many different pooches lazing around, and it’s very friendly. We were sat outside for less than a minute before some gals came chatting, so I can imagine it’s lovely to nip in solo or with friends. The staff looked really happy too, bantering with locals, and they were happy to advise. Essentially, it’s a fantastic warm pub, and another great Market Town Tavern. Love it!

Great place. staff are always friendly and provide fantastic service. Offer a wide range of drinks and have a very good food menu. Never had a disappointing visit to this place

Coopers is a bar/​brasserie on the main A65 road at Guiseley, and is part of the Market Town Taverns Group, many of which I have reviewed (Town St Tavern Horsforth, Arcadia Headingley, Baht ‘At Ilkley, Horse and Farrier Otley). I have no connection with them. Since I stay in area two nights most weeks, I look for a an ‘eating pub’ at least one night for a bar meal, and eat in my hotel (usuallly Chevin Country Park) on the other.
I arrived at a couple of minutes before six. Large selection of beers, ever changing, but no Taylors Landlord, my favourite. Ordered a pint of same brewerys Golden Best instead.
Was shown to a table in dining area, and presented with menu. I was going to order the Salmon and Dill Pâté (£5.95) followed by Sea Bass (at £13.95 the most expensive main course), but then I noticed the early bird menu was still ‘on’ (two courses £10.95) and that one of the three starters was the Salmon and Dill Pâté. Seemed good value with it I ordered local Pork and Leek sausages and mash.
The Pâté arrived, with a watercress dressing, and five pieces of crostini toast. It was very tasty, good pieces of flaked salmon minced together with the herbs, but maybe a little on the dry side. The sausages from nearby Syke ‘something or other’ farm (forgot the name), were among the best Ive ever tasting, rivalling Lipmans in Ilkley for supremacy. Three of them on a good bed of mash with plenty of gravy, and a side dish of veg (sliced baby courgettes, broccoli, carrot batons) came with it. I could not fault it.
Now those two dishes and a pint for under £14 really does represent good value.
By the time I left, the place had begun to fill up and was starting to get noisy, tables and chairs were rather clattery on wooden floor. Toilets also were a bit smelly !
This place would be brilliant, if it was smartened up a bit with softer décor, and could be more aimed at restuarant rather than a bar, but that isnt usually the policy of the MTT group.
For pub eating I still marginally prefer the Fox at Menston, only a couple of miles away, or a little further away still, The Black Horse at Askwith.

Great place. Foods quality hone cooked tasty goodness! Great selection of alcohilic beverages. Highly recommended! Couple of the staff members need to cheer up but overall they are friendly and attentive.

Lots of great ales, great atmosphere and the staff are always very friendly and attentive. Not tried the food yet but I’ve heard it’s really nice! Definitely one to try!

Liked the place. Excellent range of beer and enjoyed the food. Gets very busy.

This has to be one of the best public houses in Guiseley. Although not steeped in history as a public house the orginal building has been a well known place in Guiseley previously a butchers and more recently a shop. The old tile work of the butchers can be seen throughout the building adding a little character. A warm and friendly environment can be found on every occasion, this is not a public house which draws youths in. The relaxed surroundings with brewery advertisements from around the world add a warmth to the walls. The food however must be acknowledged from a bar meal to a meal with friends in the resturant up stairs, it must be said how tasty and what value for money coopers provides. Not forgetting the ales, fantastic, a must visit for all. Remember no drinking and driving. Local to bus stops and even a 5 minute from Guiseley train station.
