Cooley's Stone House Tavern

"When you first approach from the outside this place seems a bit like it was closed as you approach. Once inside it's not a huge place but has that very old bar feeling to it. Our table was very wobbly so we grabbed bar seats. Drinks were made and as we were sitting there we noticed a ton of fruit flys which isn't a good thing. But the food we ordered looked good. I ordered my burger well done and got cowboy fritters. The fritters were outstanding! The French fries I got with my burger were excellent as well. The burger was good up until I noticed that it wasn't fully cooked I noticed a little pink inside. Which is fine for some. But a huge turn off on the food for me. Overall I'd give it a 4/5 stars the atmosphere was ok. For how old the place is I get the historical aspect of it."

"Was up to visit the baseball HOF and stopped to check out this place for lunch. It was a nice old school place inside and out. The waitress was very helpful and good. Got a burger and the cowboy fritters and both tasted very good. The only downside I had was it seemed like the place was very dirty. I was sitting at the bar and there was fruit flies everywhere and just landing/sitting on the cups and in your way while eating your food. Was nice to try it but won't be back."

"There's a sign outside that said the building was from the 1800s and I believe it! There's plenty of historical ambience to this place and we enjoyed it. The table we chose was in a corner and slightly tilted but it was still comfortable and cozy. The food was certainly pub grub but of very high quality. The house sauce (for the wings) is kind of a chipotle BBQ sauce and I recommend it. The onion rings, sweet potato fries, and pretzel were all excellent. Two of us had a burger and we both loved them. The service was also perfect; Erin was a true professional and treated us well. The fact that I had an IPA from the local brewery (Ommegang) made the meal even better! We were in town for the Hall of Fame and am so glad we stopped in at Cooley's!"

"Just around the corner from the Baseball Hall Of Fame. Not too amenable for large parties. Decent beer selection, and the four apps we shared were pretty good. The server we asked for a table told us there was no room for us, so we pulled six bar chairs around a high table and were eventually served. Not bad."

"Had the French Dip and a Chicken Caesar Salad. It was absolutely delicious! Every local football game on for Sunday at 1:00. Service was super fast and wonderfully friendly. Will absolutely be back."

"Quick and good food. Nothing crazy but just good solid pub food. Got the Reuben and a burger. Only downside is a little expensive for what it is (think this is just the new norm) and the table was sticky. Not a big deal but slightly annoying."

"What an experience! I visited Cooperstown this weekend for the first time and was delighted by the food and service I had at Cooley's. I normally don't write reviews but I had to share the great experience I had there. Definitely the best food spot in town! Erin was our server and I was blown away by how extremely kind and attentive she was to my family and me. We got our food quickly and our drinks were delicious. We had the wings, mac and cheese bites, salad, and everything couldn't have been better. As a vegetarian I was thrilled to see a veggie burger on the menu. Cooley's is also very clean and suitable for families and large groups. Overall, my family and I will be recommending Cooley's to anyone in Cooperstown. I'd love to visit again just to go back here!"
