Definitely celebrate or just have a night out here as you won’t be disappointed. Great vibes, music, drinks, service, food, atmosphere, ambiance, scenery, comfortable seating for your liking, and simply marvelous for any occasion with friends, significant other, partner etc. This is your grand finale and one stop shop. You will regret not choosing to go here and I will be back very soon to jump out of my heels because you will not be able to resist the wonderful talents of the DJ.

90s night was so fun! The servers were dressed in 90s attire. The DJ was on point, not a bad song played! The food was pretty tasty, but nothing was hot unfortunately. The server was ok, she took a really long time to bring our drinks. Fun place!

Service was great. We ordered the brussel sprouts appetizer but didn't eat them. They were really salty and the taste was off. We also ordered the nachos which were okay but there was so much wet food piled on the chips that everything was soggy except the chips around the edges. We stopped in before a show at the Orpheum. Next time we will look for a different restaurant.

We had a reservation and we had slow service. Also, the menu has been cut down: very few items to select from I had a salad which was wilted in limp; thank goodness our server was able to comp me for the salad. My brother had a sandwich which was fair. They did not have any caffeine free drinks And no alcohol free drinks. Disappointing all in all because we had had a pleasant experience back in January.

It was a nice restaurant with a good vibe. I was disappointed that I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and when it finally came (quite a while) the server said they ran out of chicken so they were just charging me for a salad. It would have been much better service to have offered salmon, steak, chicken wings, etc….especially after a 30+ minute wait for a plain Caesar salad. I mentioned to my waitress that they just bought me a Caesar salad because apparently ran out of chicken and she also did not offer some other substitute. Having worked in the restaurant business I still left a 15% tip…but if I ever go back it will be for drinks and music after I have already had dinner.

We went here before a concert. It was terrible service, sadly. It took an hour and 15 minutes to get a drink. When we ordered our food only half came out and we had to wait another 45 minutes to get the last plates. We didn’t get silverware and when we asked for some they brought 5 over, but we had 7 people. We ended up sharing because no one came back to check on us.

Came in for a 5:45 reservation… didn’t get service til after 6:15.. I had to go find a server, we had about 2-3 servers walking past us numerous times and not even a hello. Ordered some nachos and they came in SUPER SOGGY. They were basically inedible. We used a fork to eat the top non soggy nachos. Ordered a Cesar with dressing on the side; it came basically as a soup of dressing with a side of salad, chicken was good. Basically ate the chicken and left the salad Husband and brother ordered burgers? Those were decent. Slow services, we didn’t have time to complain cause our server only came by once and we were in a hurry to make a suns game. Won’t be returning ..

I think there should be a category for noise level that is Annoying. It was just plain to loud for a weeknight before 10PM. I would NOT recommend it for anyone that actually wanted to socialize with friends. If you want to stand/sit next to someone with music blaring, this place is for you! The beer selection was excellent & the parking was free for 3 hours - that would be the best parts.

We had reservations for 5:45pm. We showed up on time and were seated right away. There were plenty of open tables. However, we were not given menus and no one came to our table for 10 minutes. We then moved to the bar where there were plenty of empty seats. The bartenders were much more helpful. Great selection of beer and were were still able to get our drinks in for happy hour. We enjoyed our meal but if it hadn't been for the seats at the bar, we would have walked out.

It was a Sunday night not busy for it being happy hour. Food was okay, drinks were overpriced (we switched to beer) our service was good until our server was done for the night. If it wasn't for the one man band performing we probably would've left. He was very good, and kept the audience engaged. Best is we hear he's going to be playing regularly at the Copper Blues, so for that reason we'll be back.

The menu is small but the burger and chicken sandwich were both delicious! Like every other restaurant they are probably experiencing a labor shortage, but although it took awhile to reach the hostess and get seated and then for our server to visit the first time, she was excellent and very attentive, especially considering how many tables she had. It was loud but it was very good live music so we enjoyed it. Reservations are a must, especially on a Saturday night when there is an event downtown.

I don't know if it was a bad day or what, Valentines Day we stopped in for a quick bite before our show. They had a huge beer selection and the food looked decent so we thought, "Why not?". The service was horrible after sitting at a table for 20 minutes someone finally came and gave us some menus which we looked over and decided on a burger. Another 25 minutes passed and the waitress comes back asks us if we want anything to drink we tell her we're ready to order order our food and drinks, 30 minutes pass I say forget it and just head to the bar grab our drinks, served quick and easy, should have just done that from the beginning. We wait another 30 minutes to have our food served to us. We ordered the Copper Blue's Burger It comes out the bread is soggy so the burger just falls apart. Less than appetizing, the wings however were crisp and flavorful. The only few redeeming factors of this bar were the Guitarist on stage keeping a light and cheery atmosphere with otherwise dreadful service, and the bar as the service was quick and painless. Checking out was also a nightmare, waited 35 minutes after our place was cleared before once again I went to the bar to ask for my check and the bar keep tried to locate my waitress. Honestly, I NEVER write reviews because I work in the service industry, and I can understand at times things can be hectic, which, I assure you when I was here it was not, but this was downright horrendous. The best part of this place was A.) The Bar Service and B.)The Live Performance if not for those 2 things I'd rate this negative if I could.

Lets start with this, at 70, 71, 80, and 82 years old we are not the demographic for this place. I'd be surprised if the next oldest person in the restaurant was any more than 45. So we were fish out of water, but we had a great time never-the-less. The band that night was outstanding. We actually could manage a conversation. Drinks and food were all great. Service was wonderful.
