This place is truly a relic (in the best way possible). It still has that old charm that is honestly being lost in New York today, with old wood paneling and bars all throughout, plenty of seating, and many nooks and crannies to hang out with your friends. Everything is extremely well priced. Although the crowd is definitely older, I would highly recommend for a nice night with some friends as we did not feel out of place

Yer Man’s Irish Pub, formerly known as Cooper’s Ale House, is more than just a bar—it’s a living piece of Glendale history. Longtime locals remember it as the kind of neighborhood spot where the wings were hot, the Guinness was cold, and the conversation never ran dry. And if the place looks familiar, it’s probably because it served as the inspiration for Doug Heffernan’s hangout in The King of Queens, which first aired in 1998. That alone cements it as a Queens landmark.
The transition to Yer Man’s in the early 2020s brought a fresh identity while keeping the soul of the place intact. Walk in today and you’ll find a classic Irish pub atmosphere—dark wood, framed Irish memorabilia, friendly faces, and the hum of conversation that lets you know this place has regulars. It still feels like a holdover from when neighborhood pubs weren’t trying to be trendy—they just were.
The food hits all the right notes for comfort and satisfaction. Think crispy wings, shepherd’s pie done right, hearty burgers, and Irish pub staples like smoked salmon on soda bread. The drink list is solid—Guinness, Smithwick’s, and a well-rounded selection of whiskey and beer that leans Irish without being exclusive.
Live music is a staple on the weekends, with local bands playing to a crowd that knows how to unwind. There’s also a dartboard, a little lottery machine, and a surprisingly nice outdoor patio strung with lights—great for an evening pint under the stars.
What really makes Yer Man’s special, though, is the vibe. It’s the kind of place where the bartender might remember your drink, where people chat across tables, and where new faces are always welcome. Whether you’ve been going since the Cooper’s days or just stumbled in for the first time, it has that rare quality of feeling like home.
In a city constantly changing, Yer Man’s is holding onto something timeless. And thank goodness for that.

The bartender, who served us two beer’s at the bar claimed that my associate’s depression about the anniversary of his grandmother’s passing and of my mother’s passing; was too much for him nor I to have our third beer at the bar so he kicked us both out.
