Brunch at Cooper’s

The corned beef hash is bold and popping; grilled up with hash browns, it’s an excellent foundation for scrambled eggs and lemony hollandaise. It’s a good start to a relaxing Sunday brunch visit, which brings positive first impressions of the new bar and restaurant, Cooper’s on Porter. It’s a woody, European pub-y place with a dash of modern style. While it’s a bit dark inside for this brunch, it looks like a fine space for beer drinking. And beer is what they do- they have 24 drafts on tap. No liquor now and perhaps not ever, according to the staff (wine is on the way). Instead, ask for a bloody beer for brunch: Scrimshaw pilsner, V-8 juice, Tabasco, lime and pepper. Certainly an eye opener. A huge mug of the strong French roast coffee might also do the trick. Quiche and bourbon mascarpone French toast round out a successful first visit. We predict that the huge wood deck outside is going to be the “it” East Nashville beer drinking spot come spring. We think chef and owner Cooper Brunk has a good thing going here. We’ll get back for a dinner visit in a few weeks and have a full review later.
