About this Pub

The Coopers Draught Lager
Right by Ashton Gate on Ashton Road, Coopers Arms is a pre-match hub for Bristol City supporters and is described as being in the shadow of the stadium/closest to the ground. It’s very popular with home fans on match days and even closes after the game, underlining its match-focused crowd. Inside, there are big screens and TVs showing football, so you can keep up with other fixtures before heading to the turnstiles. In short: it’s a traditional home-fan spot with live football on TV a short stroll from the stadium—ideal for a pre-match pint.

The Coopers is a brilliant, traditional English pub. Decent beer selection, but most importantly a fantastic atmosphere, especially before the rugby (and presumably football)

Fabulous pub. Great food when they do it. It's not a food pub, but when Ian the landlord cooks, it's always spot on.
