Coopers Bar
43 John Street, Aberdeen, AB25 1LN
A LIVELY COMMUNITY BAR IN CENTRAL ABERDEEN
Coopers Bar in Aberdeen is a community local, offering a lively atmosphere for the locals to enjoy. The bar opens early (8am Mon-Thu) and often with the jukebox blaring, pool players playing game after game of pool and the beer flowing, it can feel like 9pm at 11am. The bar serves drink only and would benefit from the addition of darts to complement the popular pool table. The new operator should maintain the current offer while considering events and entertainment that could fit the type of demographic who frequent the bar. You will maintain good standards and service while developing the drinks range. Coopers is well known as a place where people can catch up in their local bar.
