Restaurant review: Newly reopened Coppinger is back with good cocktails and creative food

Coppinger was open less than a week when I visited and the menu was still evolving

It is back! There was much weeping and gnashing of teeth on social media when the Bereen brothers announced the closure of Coppinger Row for landlord refurbishments in late 2022, but 30 months later it is back open.

Coppinger Row had a loyal following and was a bit of a party restaurant so its loss was keenly felt. The Bereen’s Row Wine Bar which opened next door could never quite replace the old Coppinger Row (and nor was it intended to), and I think the two venues should compliment each other very nicely.
