Dave is an outstanding bartender: entertaining, quick on his feet, and always on top of things. Their other bartenders, Amy and Alissa, are just as friendly and personable. If you’re a regular, they’ll often have your drink ready before you even find a seat, always greeting you with a smile.

The crowd is a fun mix of all types of people, which adds to the laid-back vibe. Being a family-run business, The Grateful Den has a genuine, community-focused feel that makes every visit enjoyable.

“👍👍Can't say enough about how wonderful and accommodating Patty and her fantastic staff were when they recently allowed us to host a memorial service dinner on their enclosed patio. From the start, Patty met most every request with a prompt response that was both positive and reassuring. The space was perfect for our group, the food was met with positive reviews from all of our group of folks from toddlers to seniors, and the service provided by Allison, Candace and the rest of their crew was sweet, attentive, and efficient. If you are looking for a nice space with a local history vibe and unpretentious atmosphere with consistently good food and great service, Cooper's Cave is a great option. Thank you Patty and your entire crew!!“

“This was first time stopping in here. Very cozy and friendly place. They have a kids menu and we're very attentive to our children. The wife got the cheeseburger and she said it was ok. I got the Adirondack and thought it was really good. The kids got macaroni and cheese, sweet potatoe fries and a pb&j sandwich with fries and they said there's were good. We will definitely be back next time we visit“
