Pub Tenancy - The Coopers Tavern

This isn’t just a pub – it’s a legend. Nestled in the brewing heartland of Burton-upon-Trent, The Coopers Tavern is one of the UK’s most iconic and celebrated pubs. Steeped in heritage, brimming with atmosphere and beloved by real ale enthusiasts across the country, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become part of something truly special. Originally the brewer’s house and malt store for William Bass, The Coopers Tavern sits at the heart of Burton’s brewing legacy. It still serves Draught Bass the traditional way – straight from the cask. Step inside, and you’ll discover a warren of snugs, quiet nooks and characterful spaces that whisper stories from centuries past. Whether it’s a quiet weekday pint or a busy weekend gathering of beer lovers, every moment in this pub feels meaningful. A magnet for cask ale enthusiasts, musicians and visitors following the Burton Ale Trail, The Coopers is more than a pub – it’s a destination, a community anchor and a national treasure. Trading Style Burton is alive with beer culture from festivals and ale trails. The Coopers Tavern plays a key role in this scene, often hosting one-off beers, brewers’ evenings and live music that celebrate the area’s rich tradition. Although it doesn’t have a catering kitchen, it more than makes up for it with classic bar snacks and a back bar full of character. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who knows that great pubs are about soul, not scale. We’re searching for a passionate operator, someone who knows their way around a handpull, values tradition and wants to make a home in one of the UK’s most celebrated pubs. The Coopers Tavern doesn’t come up often – and with good reason. It’s not just another pub tenancy. It’s a chance to step into a piece of living history, nurture its legacy and make your own mark.
