    My friend wanted to come here for her birthday. We dined in on a Sunday for brunch. At the time it…read morewas super busy because they were booked for birthdays and events but we managed to fit a party of 12 around the DJ area near the bar. They made it work for us and were very accommodating. The food menu served was brunch. The menu was simple, but they had a lot to offer. I would best describe southern soul food. Very reasonable in pricing and the drink menu had a great selection as well. My fiancée and I ordered: Drinks: -Pinot noir -Manhattan -Espresso Martini Brunch: -Grilled salmon with side of onions & potatoes - Shrimp and grits For it being super busy, we didn't have to wait long for our food. It was fabulous. My salmon was grilled perfectly. The hot honey went very well with my salmon. The potatoes were delish. My fiancée really enjoyed his shrimp and grits. He mentioned that the shrimp was on point. I tried my friend's French toast . Wow! That was amazing. Nina was our server and she was great! Very polite and attentive. She was working really hard. I want to give her huge props. I highly recommend coming here. The DJ really knows his music and everyone was having a great time. That's all that matters, Right!? Great place!

    Came on a Thursday for $1 chicken wings and $4 lamb chops. You had to order at least 3 lamb chops…read moreand 5 chicken wings which isn't bad. If you reserved a spot for 5 or more people you received a free bottle of wine. I kept asking our waitress what the free bottle was and she kept saying she'll ask but never came back and told me the answer. After an hour we received our free bottle. My drink came out 30 mins before the rest of my group and then some of the food even made it out because others had their drinks. I ordered lamb chops and wings my lamb chops came out but my wings never did. I asked about them 5 times and finally they came out as my group was ready to leave (2 hours later). I told the waitress I didn't want them anymore and I was excited to try the apple bourbon sauce. They ended up coming out I told the waitress I didn't want them anymore because I've waited so long and she took them back and said "well you should have told me before I went back there to ask about them. I was waiting in the back for them and told them to make them fresh for you" and then she took the wings back and didn't offer any compensation. I then went to the bar and asked this sweet lady named Q for a manager a manager came out faster than I expected and handled the situation with grace. As far as my waitress goes I understand the frustration with kitchen being slow but please don't take it out on me. I'm very understanding. Also they no longer have hookah. My first experience here was definitely better than my 2nd experience and I'm not sure if there will be a 3rd.

    We went into this expecting the experience to be an absolute shoo-in for a fabulous speakeasy vibe,…read morebeverages and experience. We arrived mid afternoon and were the only customers there, which we were just fine with. The bartender was incredibly friendly and offered a lot of advice and his opinions on several of the bourbons. The more we talked to him, it seemed that he didn't quite know his bourbons, which is fine, because you need to start somewhere, but he also didn't seem to have his cocktail skills perfected either. Unfortunately, their website did not match what was currently being offered. I was excited to try one of their seasonal cocktails butt was told it was not available as that was the previous month's availability. I decided to go with an old fashioned instead but was sorely disappointed as it just fell flat and didn't seem to be in the bartenders wheelhouse. My boyfriend tried a cocktail as well but experienced the same letdown. We had read great reviews on Goodfellows pizzaria and did place an order but will review that thru the pizzeria itself. While the bar itself has the potential to offer a fun vibe and could entice you back for more, that was not what we experienced and will probably not return any time soon.

    I attended the Wiseguys bourbon raffle - great place, but the event was badly organized. The…read moreBourbon prices were insane, the organizers didn't announce when check in was, and apparently turning the loud music down so people could hear the person without the microphone making announcements was too difficult. Their response? Turn the music up louder. It was much better organized in 2024, I hope Wiseguys does better. People were leaving because it was too hot, too loud and too crowded. Oh yeah - the rancid beer that my friend was served was epic and apparently they (Wiseguys) were selling regular Blantons as "barrel picks" and upcharging them.

    (Last visited 10/31/2021.) On our last day in Cincinnati we got invited to a brunch with some of…read morethe people we were hanging out with throughout the weekend and they were here! These are my kind of people! Here's how it went... Atmosphere/Appearance: This place has a lovely, wide-open concept, is lively and pretty big to be honest. It looks like it could double as a nightclub/lounge during the evening and night hours. It's a downtown location so there is no private parking lot so good luck with finding street parking or parking across the street in a lot you need to pay for. The inside is nicely decorated and the music was PUMPING. It's certainly an energetic brunch. Once you come in you're greeted by several booths, but then you make a right and go up a half-flight of stairs to see the bar then the buffet area. Service: This is where they lost a star. Our servers were great, but they were either spread to thin and overworked or just forgetful. We were here for the bottomless mimosas, but many times our glasses were left empty and we had to flag someone down for refills. Other than that shortcoming, everything else was great. Food: As I just mentioned this place does serve bottomless mimosas with a buffet. The buffet has all of your traditional breakfast foods as well as things like shrimp & grits, macaroni & cheese, popovers and so much more. I was very impressed at the selection and the food was delicious. The mimosas weren't juicy at all and were firing on all cylinders. Value: I can't remember what it was for the bottomless brunch, but I feel like $45.00 rings a bell. I could be wrong, but don't be stupid and be prepared. Like, unlimited food AND unlimited drinks... be prepared to spend because it's absolutely worth it. In conclusion, if and when I'm in the area again, I WILL be making a return visit to Copa. I loved it here!
