High Spirits
Cooperstown’s Cooley’s is a friendly lunch and late-night spot
With a shamrock and a harp in green on its white sign, Cooley’s Stone House Tavern is as simple as the sign’s advertising: “Food & Spirits.” Decked out in Guinness shamrocks year-round, Cooley’s wood paneling is adorned with baseball memorabilia, beer signs and other standard bar decor, including a bell hangin behind a wraparound bar.
Open from lunch until the bar’s last call after midnight, Cooley’s is just steps from the Hall of Fame on Pioneer Street, but doesn’t typically get the kind of groundswell dur- ing tourist season that the rest of Cooperstown’s Main Street does. Even in the dead of summer, patrons can usually find a quiet spot for lunch or a barstool for an evening of drinks.
