Great drinks and atmosphere. Had a problem with the food and the manager came out right
away with a fantastic positive attitude and resolved the issue ASAP. Shout out to the entire staff! Highly recommend. So much fun. One of our favorite spots!

The food and the atmosphere was great but unfortunately the service that we got was terrible. We sat at the bar because there were no tables available and the second we got there our bartender was so rude. Randy looked like he hated working there and we overheard him complain about people sitting at the bar on karaoke night with their tab closed. He kept on forgetting to get our black friend drinks and once we asked to close our tab he refused to give us an itemized receipt before we paid. Once we paid, we pointed out there was an issue on our tab and he gave us attitude. Honestly it wasn’t even about the money but we were just annoyed about the bad service. I would come back to his place as long as there’s different staff to take care of our group. On previous occasions we’ve had bartender Nico. and he has always give us outstanding service and drinks.
My server Galen was wonderful!! Super attentive, friendly and fast service! food was hot and delicious. (Bonus) the kitchen manager Steven came and made sure everything was to our liking :) I recommend the wings with their jack honey, fried pickles and their GIANT pretzel!
Great atmosphere for watching pro football on a Sunday! The house made chilli was a great topping for on a snappy dog. The draft coors light was cold and crisp too!
Me and my partner came to Orlando from the UK for a holiday back in June. We absolutely love music and wanted to eat and go to an open mic night. So we chose copper rocket. Our first experience there was great, we were served by this lovely lady that had only been there a couple of months. Her service was excellent. Food was great as well. Followed by open mic night which was a laugh and a great night was had. We loved it that much, we came back the next Tuesday. However, our experience changed massively. The wonderful waitress wasn't to be seen. Service was slow with drinks and because we weren't regulars, we felt quite a hostility towards us, like everything we asked seemed a problem. Thst being said, not all staff were like this. When we come back to Orlando, we will probably visit again. Cody the sound guy was also excellent.
The location of this establishment is great. Parking was a bit iffy, but I guess dependent on the time of day. There are multiple businesses in this center.
A good place for a party, they have designated areas for gatherings. However if you bring in your entertainment let them know your spot is where the live music is.
The place was cozy and intimate, the selection of food, yes they have food, was not bad either. A good place to lime, have fun!

I echo what the reviewer Peter posted. The greeting was liminal at best and clearly got the impression that wasn’t going to receive service for placing a to go order. The bartender was tending to other patrons but mind you there were only 3 yet a lively boisterous bunch. Which you’re at a bar, let the good times roll, but in no way did the bartender provide a menu and took a few minutes to acknowledge my presence even though was making eye contact with him.
Glad I read Peter’s review and left!

Went here on a Monday night with a couple of co-workers/buddies of mine. They were pretty busy for a Monday night due to Monday Night Football as well as an office Xmas Party they were attending to. Even with all that going on, it was a great place and what you would expect from a typical a bar! Good drinks, good food, but our server is what really made our experience fantastic. Didnt really notice anyone else working in there besides her and the bartender, so she mustve definitely been busy. But still took the time chat with us, make sure we had everything we need, never disappeared for long periods of time, and was just an all around incredible beautiful soul of inspiration. The manager definitely need to give Leighann a raise. Kudos indeed.
They need to hire a new bartender ( older lady, long hair, glasses ) with a better attitude, I watched the bartender physically push aside our server (who by the way was absolutely amazing and sweet) come over and ask for smaller bills. We mentioned breaking $100 next door. I asked my fiancé to go and she went her self. The bartender then came back and made a point to say that they were able to break it but it was all that was left in their till! Gave us a nasty face and rushed away. This was our first time here and IF we come back and that same bartender is behind the bar we are leaving. The bartender couldn’t even make a decent dirty gin martini…. Let alone know what a Tim Collins was……. 🤦🏻♀️ absolutely disgusting behavior for her to put her hands on someone. Our server Ava was attentive, sweet, and amazing. Everything we ordered from the menu was good.
I rarely write reviews with this intensity, but our experience at The Copper Rocket was a test of patience and truly a culinary debacle. From the moment we stepped in, the establishment seemed chaotic and lacking in basic customer service. There was no warm greeting, no staff to guide us to a table, leaving us to fend for ourselves.
After twiddling our thumbs for 20 long minutes, we took the initiative to approach a waitress and fetch our own menus. A restaurant's first impression is paramount, and at this point, we should've recognized the red flags and departed. But in the spirit of giving a second chance, we decided to order.
My appetite was modest, so I opted for the deep-fried Oreos. Others in our group sought heartier meals like the Buffalo Chicken Wrap, Club Wrap, and a Club Sandwich. Josie, our server, was the one silver lining amidst this chaos. She was visibly overwhelmed, having to handle the entire floor alone and juggle drink-making due to an uncooperative bartender. Her sincere apologies resonated, but it's the management and kitchen that need a serious re-evaluation.
The inconsistency in delivering our orders was frustrating. First came the Buffalo Chicken Wrap, then a prolonged wait, and an eventual revelation that they'd run out of turkey for the other dishes! To add insult to injury, after what felt like an eternity, they admitted they couldn’t even provide the deep-fried Oreos due to a lack of batter.
To the management of The Copper Rocket: your inefficiency is costing you more than just a negative review. If you aren't able to ensure basic service standards, perhaps it's best to reconsider your place in the restaurant industry. As a reviewer, I evaluate based on met expectations. I've praised establishments that deliver on their promises, regardless of their stature. The Copper Rocket, despite its spotlight on "Bar Rescue", clearly needs more than a mere rescue. Jon Taffer would be livid with such mismanagement.
To potential patrons, I'd advise you to reconsider your choice. Your time, money, and appetite deserve better. I hope The Copper Rocket reflects on this feedback and initiates a radical change for the betterment of its future patrons.

I went to the bar to go to Permanent Vacation to celebrate my birthday.
And then I stayed at Copper Rocket and it was awesome.
We sang Karaoke, we went on stage, it was awesome.
We met the Owner, a good and lively person. I loved the place, I would definitely go back.

Place has been a staple for me since college. Through multiple ownership place still has great atmosphere and food and beer selection awesome.
I’ve ordered food twice and both times it was wrong, lol. First time I let it slide they forgot ranch and blue cheese for the wings. Second time I ordered two pretzels and I guess they hand type it in because they only typed one but UberEats refunded the pretzel. I have the receipt and they STILL FORGOT DRESSING even though it’s listed. They clearly are lazy as this is the second time in a week period from ordering. Next time I’ll pick it up so I can tell them to their face because they clearly need to be micromanaged. Buffalo sauce is very vinegar forward so be warned.
Julius was polite and effective with the orders and helped with suggestions. The place was clean and had a constant theme. Food was good quality and overall the bill was very fair. We had the nachos and mozzarella sticks and tried a few different drinks. They were nice enough to put the world cup on for us. I'd like to stress that Julius was an amazing server and I'd be back just because of his amazing service and kindness.
Parking was plentiful. Nice patio area. Will be back to try the pizza. Thanks copper rocket, and thanks Julius!
