| - Oh Coppertops! I'm sure you have a fascinating story behind your seemingly random name change, and why there are never any people in your bar on the weekends.
As I stood at the bar wondering if the bartender and I were mortal enemies, and I just didn't remember the slight that sent our relationship swirling out of control, I couldn't help but notice how awful this place was.
Not in the layout or the decor, but in an innate, deep seated wrongness that would probably have inspired Camus.
The bartender was unbelievably unpleasant, adding to the sense that this was some type of purgatorial bar that souls drink at until they blissfully discover their true destination.
This is one of those places on the South Side which is rarely crowded, and it seemed as we were there, most of the people that came in were on bar crawls, grabbed a shot and left. This place has tons of space, is wonderfully decorated, and has the potential for being pretty awesome. The fact that there is really no reason I would come here except for the decor is kind of sad. Drinks are pretty pricey, and there's certainly no flair in their delivery.
Not worth the effort unless you want to escape the crowds on a weekend.
