| - I'm glad Copper Blues opened in Tempe. I've always enjoyed myself at the downtown location and they have great happy hour prices. Since I don't work downtown anymore, it's a pain driving there and finding parking. Plus, Tempe is much close for me.
CB has great beer selections, awesome happy hours prices, and good bands. Where they lack is service (at both locations). I guess you can't be good at everything, or can you? Is that too much to ask? I think not. Either they're short staffed, or the skill level amongst the staff is less than average.
Last night's bartender was less than average, hands down. It wasn't because they were short staffed, there were only about 10 ppl in the entire place. The bartender was more concerned about cutting lemons than serving customers. She seemed better working behind the scenes than on the front line. She didn't bother washing her hands between washing glasses, cutting lemons, pouring beer and serving food. I don't think she even wiped her hands once.
I suppose CB is just hoping that you won't notice the lack of service much once the beer hits your system and the band is jamming. Like I said before, I've always had a good time...because of the company and good music. Since the band hadn't started playing last night, the lack of service was very noticeable . Hence the 3 stars.
I really hope CB improves on their service. It's a fun place otherwise.
