    Good prices, good beer, good food and great vibes. No idea why someone would not love this place. We came in from a 94 degree day, place was pretty crowded, but we got a table immediately. Service was good, food was quick and reasonably priced, drinks were cold and delicious. I'd love to be a regular at a place like this. Again, great vibes!

    This place needs more love! Some of the best service ever -- Michelle was awesome and gave great recommendations, like getting the half-half Maryland Crab Soup/Cream of Crab Soup combo and a lemon aioli sauce for our fries. We also loved the ahi tuna appetizer, truffle fries, and Ronan burger. Indoor and outdoor seating available, many with a water view. Lots of bar seating downstairs and upstairs as well.

    We were staying in Baltimore for the weekend and decided to come over to Fell's Point for a few hours on Sunday. This place looked appealing for lunch so we decided to give it a try for lunch around 11:30. At that time they had both the brunch and lunch menus available. The lunch menu had plenty of appetizers, soups, salads, burgers and other sandwiches and entrees. I decided to go with the Cobb salad. It looked and tasted great. It had blackened shrimp, crab, eggs, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce with an old bay dressing. My husband had the Philly cheesesteak with chips. It was a nice size sandwich and tasted good. Service was fairly quick.

    A nice spot right in the heart of Fells Point. Great vibes, plenty of tv's to watch games and the service was pretty quick and attentive. I had a burger with lettuce, onion and bacon and a side of fries. My friend had a crab cake sandwich and chips and said it was cooked to perfection.

    $5 marg Mondays with choice of salt or tajin on the rim. Pretty outdoor area looking over the water. I got the Maryland crab soup which is a tomato soup base. It tastes good but I wish I got the cream of crab soup instead. We also got tacos to share for our table of 3.

    'Twas visiting my old coworker upon his move to downtown Balto, and he said we shall meet on the waterfront and find a place for dinner. We met right in front of a nice sunset view and a patio belonging to one Kooper's Tavern. I offer the following in favor of Kooper's: A very strong on-tap beer selection, backed up by bottles if you really need - but you don't. Small but varied food menu. Crab soup was packed with crab meat from top to bottom. Outdoor seating if you want, a nice dark interior with televisions to set the mood of an upscale bar inside more reminiscent of overseas. Friendly chatting with the bartender for a good portion of the evening. Just a couple of downsides here. The crab soup was a bit saltier than I'd like, although that may be the way people like it. The crabcake was far from the meatiest I've had, though at least not the breadiest. Somewhere in the middle, and a little small for the price point I felt. Verdict: Not perfect, but when you're in Fells Point, do you really expect more than you'll get here? I wouldn't, and I'm glad I Kooped.

    My friend and I stopped in one weekend afternoon to partake a couple of margaritas for early happy hour. Good prices, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. The Ritas were good, so we could possibly hop in another time for grub.

    Kooper's Tavern definitely brings the vibes--warm, lively, and exactly what you expect from a Fells Point staple. The service was solid, and we kicked things off with a couple of extra dirty martinis and a glass of wine. All the drinks were excellent (the martinis especially hit the spot). For a starter, we tried the crab dip. It had good flavor but was just okay overall--mostly because it was surprisingly light on actual crab. Same story with the Maryland crab soup and cream of crab soup "half & half" that the bartender recommended. Fun idea, decent flavor, but again... where's the crab? The star of the night was the Ronan burger. Cooked medium rare exactly as ordered, and honestly one of the better burgers we've had in a while--juicy, flavorful, and done perfectly. Overall, Kooper's has a great atmosphere and strong drinks, but the crab dishes were a letdown, especially in a city known for doing crab right. Not sure if we'll be back, since there are plenty of spots in Baltimore where the crab dishes actually deliver the crab meat you expect.

    We stopped in for a drink and a bite to eat. Service was great; our server was friendly and attentive. I loved the dog themed decor! Very cute. We chose to share a bowl of chili which came with tortilla chips. The chili was unique in that it had a bit of a sweet flavor. At first I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but after a couple of bites I decided I liked it and it worked well with the kick of spice. My bf loved it. It hit the spot on a chilly night. Overall, this is a fun spot to check out and I'll return for sure.

    When the sun is shining and it's warm outside nothing hits better than enjoying an orange crush and a crab cake in Baltimore. I promise you! I used to frequent Kooper's Tavern a lot when I used to live in Baltimore and I'm glad to report that nothing has changed. Their crab cakes and crab cake sandwiches still hit (not the best in the city but good) and the orange crushes are delicious. Everything is priced well in my opinion and I love that they have outside seating options. Staff was fine, we did feel forgotten about a couple of times but I can imagine that's because of the back and forth that the server has to do as well as they may have been a little short staffed on this day that we came. All in all, highly recommend checking out Kooper's Tavern in Fells point on the next nice day. It's right by the water.

    A group of us came here from work for a team lunch. We were greeted upon entering and seated upstairs. We all put in our orders with the server and someone got the Nachos appetizer to share with the table. It was a huge dish and everyone was able to enjoy some of it. The chips were crispy and had lots of flavor with the melted cheese, bell peppers, onions, and jalapeño peppers. I really enjoyed the Fish Tacos I got. They were perfectly cooked and the jalapeño ranch was so flavorful. Everyone seemed to enjoy their dish. I've been here a couple times in the past but it had been a while so it was nice to come back and have a great experience again. A casual bar style restaurant with friendly staff and good food.

It surprised me because I don't usually drink beer (hate is a strong word, but I normally don't like it). This one was sweeter and enjoyable. We got the garlic rosemary fries (the aioli was perfect), plus the blackened chicken tenders and honey Old Bay wings. Definitely not a place that'll leave you hungry -- portions are generous! We had a great time and enjoyed all our food. The only reason I left off a star was because the bathroom freaked me out a little ..but I'd still visit again. Casual setting for sure -- we saw lots of friend groups hanging out that seem like regulars. Seems like a great neighborhood spot with a solid community.

Positively, prices are very good, especially compared to the other bars in the area. I would like to go back and try the food because it smelled amazing and hopefully find something better to drink on the menu that I like!

Note, my daughter had put ketchup on plate before realizing the oversight. So, when the MANAGER brought the food back, I'm thinking it was a show of good faith given the error. Nope. He had a smug attitude and puts the plate on the table where I immediately notice the original plate was reused because it had the ketchup smear. I asked him if this was the same sent back plate of food and he said "yes" and said the added the avocado. They UNWRAPPED the original wrap and just added the avocado and brought the entire plate back. I immediately questioned how that follows food handling guidelines. If they weren't going to redo the order, they could have just brought avocado slices to the table! The MANAGER had a very dismissive, RUDE attitude and so I sent everything back and left. I did tip the waitress cash because she was great and had got us drinks by that point. Again, she was nice and side-eyed the manager agreeing what he did was not acceptable. Apparently he also had a rep for being rude and nasty. I will never eat there again. You have a kitchen with seafood and meats and have no food handling controls? Yeah, miss me with the risk of food poisoning or cross-contamination. No thank you! You're rude to customers and have no standards? Whoever runs the kitchen should know better as should the manager. I can only imagine what else goes on in that kitchen. Dine there at your own risk.
