Property details
Take the Helm of a National Treasure – 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.
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.
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. 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.
The private accommodation consists of one bedroom, a kitchen, a utility, and a bathroom.

Live Entertainment
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.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who knows that great pubs are about soul, not scale.
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.
The Pub Company is 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.
