My friends and I have been to Copper Blues several times, the location is ideal if you're doing anything downtown Phoenix. I like the patio much more than I like the inside area. During the day they're fairly comparable (depending on the weather) but inside gets way too loud once the band starts. It's fine if you're there for the music, but if you want to have any kind of conversation you are out of luck. They have a great selection of beer on tap, with even more in bottles. The chicken nachos are off the hook. When they came to the table we had to clear half of the space just to put them. They taste as good as they look, so fortunately there is plenty to share. My friends always get the soft pretzels and they are consistently delicious. The mac and cheese is good, but the bacon is much better than the short rib. We will definitely continue to come here when we make our treks downtown.
