Very decent cover band pub with an excellent array on tap (including a decent cider selection) with very decent local coverage and a good selection of the 'in' pretentious imports to make the self-appointed cognoscenti feel special. The food's typical bar fare, but not bad for that, and suffices reasonably for the venue. The ambiance is excellent (consistent with the venue again) with an excellent location and situation (upstairs, windows, central venue...with several other entertainment businesses right by). The cover bands have been very good and the crowds 'fun'. I have been on several occasions, drop by fairly regularly, and consider it the 'go to' local joint for the casual drink or two and a listen....or a brew and a nosh.... Recommended for the 'drinks and music' deal, for sure. A special experience would depend on the circumstances, but for a decent and honest set-up, Copper Blues provides an excellent and consistent product. Service can be inconsistent, but in my experience it's varied from fair to excellent...hey guys...it's a busy urban bar scene...don't be so farkin' 'precious'!
Recommended meet for drinks and nosh, listen to some tunes, downtown pub. Some of the covers are good enough to go just for them....
