As someone more likely to order wine than cocktails, I'd already found a Castro district spot I liked. But when I was in the 'hood recently I was in more of a cocktail mood - and with a friend who wanted craft beer -and we were both momentarily stumped. Copper Bar Kitchen & Micobrewery to the rescue. How have I never noticed this spot before? From barstool seats in the open front windows facing 18th Street, there's great people-watching opportunities made even better if you order up an IPA or a "Berry Me Alive" cocktail ($15), both of which we did. Service was very welcoming and friendly, not just for us, but also for the old dog we'd brought along. Our server returned with dog treats, asking first if it was okay for him to do so. Copper is a perfect neighborhood spot to satisfy a cocktail craving or a yen for craft beer. They serve food here too, which liked good though I sampled none. I'm happy to report that I now have not just a wine spot in The Castro, but a cocktail spot as well. read more

Came here with friends yesterday. Food was amazing, we got both kinds of wings and the fries, all were yummy. the mezcal cocktail drink my friend got was smokey and hit the spot. A great place for me and friends to have a drink and a tea session, and the bartender on staff was very friendly and helpful! read more

I had a great mimosa brunch day at Copper. It's really the only intimate cocktail-focused bar in the Castro (your vodka soda doesn't count), which gives it extra points, but that wasn't my focus that day! The bartender was really friendly and welcoming. The space itself is surprisingly festive and bright during the day, even further toward the back of the bar. I was here in its previous iteration as Wicked 6 which was nice, but I've liked the changes they made. Fried Chicken Sandwich: It's crunchy and topped with pickled shallots and lemon slaw. It was delightfully lemony! I chose the french fries which were thin and had an interesting seasoning. It makes a substantial brunch meal. Bottomless Mimosas: What can you say about these? 90 minutes and an attentive bartender. It's a perilous combo. read more

We love this bar! Upon walking by, there happened to be window seats available! The bartenders were friendly and provided menus right away which included their specials and happy hour selections. Settling on 4 drinks, all were tasty and priced well. We didn't get any food but from what we saw, all of it looked good. Planning to return soon! read more

I still love this place . Best Happy Hour drinks and bites !! AJ is amazing and is the heart of this bar

What a let down. Very rude/ unprofessional bartender to start. Food took over half hour and then it was just sort of " thrown" in front of us!!! Never again!!! read more

I had a great experience here. The bartender Paul made me something special with a touch of sweetness. It was so good. Paul is also a sweetheart. He makes us happy and feel welcomed. I will come back and try more stuff. The place is also cute with a fashion of high class. The lighting is romantic enough to bring your dates here. Great place. read more

We came to one of their trivia nights and had a great time! They have fun cocktails and a good selection of beers on draft. The service was quick and the food was good too! Really cute bar area and perfect for a night of trivia. Definitely a small interior but we had a party of 3 no problem. read more

A great micro brewery with a full bar and delicious food. They have a very good chef. First time there I had a Caesar salad with a chicken breast on top of it. The chicken was tender and moist. My partner had a Caesar salad with a very generous portion of seared ahi tuna. The tots are delicious, also. With very friendly bartenders/servers It's become our new go to place in the Castro. read more

We tried to find somewhere near our SF Airbnb and this was a recommended place for brunch! Looked at the menu beforehand, but our server/bartender Paul, was very informative also. The food was amazing. I got the chicken and waffles. The spicy and sweet combo was spot on. The red chili flakes paired with the maple syrup was phenomenal. My partner got the copper Benedict and we were both really impressed with the Hollandaise sauce! The bottomless mimosas and their "cheers queers" beer (as a non-beer drinker, this was a fantastic beer. Super light and didn't have the aftertaste you sometimes get from beer) were amazing, and paired with the ambiance and the views from the street window, we were so happy! What a great start to our vacay! Thanks Paul and Cooper Bar for a warm welcome to San Francisco read more

I forgot to snap a pic of the fried chicken sandwich, but you can find plenty in other reviews, and yes, it really is that good. The combo of lemon and sambal chili gives it an incredible flavor profile. My only complaint? I didn't order three of them. Fries are mid and the ranch isn't that great, but honestly, the sandwich makes up for it. The bartenders are always friendly, and the space feels cozy whether you're posted up at the bar, sitting by the window, or chilling in the parklet outside. I like Copper Bar, it's an easy, fun spot that doesn't try too hard. Just good vibes all around. read more

Small nice long counter bar in Castro: upscale with good vibes. Highlights: - Nice inside with a copper wall and long bar with stools. - Good cocktails: I got a spritz and an old fashioned. - Friendly bartender and patrons. - Small and cute, relaxing and fun. Lowlights: - Not too many app options for a snack. Couldn't done maybe tots or fries. Really enjoyed this spot for a pre-dinner drink and would come back. read more

A bit more elevated bar experience in the Castro. Place is smallish but gives a nice cozy experience. Drinks are ok, nothing too special. If want to have a slow day drinking, you can start here and continue at the hotel bar at the street up and the hit the dance bars after. read more

Vibes: amazing Drink: strawberry smash - super tasty Food: came here around 1015p on a Friday and the kitchen was still open. Ordered the burger (medium rare) with fries and when I tell you it was absolutely phenomenal, I mean, it was everything I absolutely needed. Cooked perfectly! The fries were perfectly crispy. Service: beyond exceptional! Super nice bartenders. 10/10 recommend ! read more

I would get the eggs benedict and tater tots again, both perfect. I would not get the belgian waffle again, surprisingly dry. I'm glad the eggs benedict was good because I went in wanting the catfish sandwich. Not sure why they don't serve it until 3pm. I can't imagine it was caught in the morning, unless that is the case in which case that would be amazing, but I'm assuming that's not the case. read more

This place is such a vibe!! The bartender was alone but was very attentive to everyone at the bar, sitting outside and on tabletops. He did such a good job so shout out to Mikey I believe was his name. We had some chicken wings, which were so crispy and juicy, a Cesar salad, grilled cheese with fries and a couple drinks! Great location and of course street parking sucks but if you're going to drink don't drive. read more

Horrible old dried out food. The food must have been reheated a times. I returned it but it came back just as bad. Save your money for somewhere else. There are several great restaurants in the Castro. read more

I've eaten here a few times and each dish I've had was delicious. Most recently I had the chicken and waffles and it was fantastic. The chicken itself has a honey and red pepper flake glaze that gives a great kick. The restaurant is cozy and has a fashionable design. I've had the same server each time who was attentive and made sure our brunch drinks were always full. I look forward to trying other dishes. read more

Sometimes you just want to have a drink and grab a bite to eat without all of the typical "noise" that often permeates a Castro establishment. The clientele that frequents this business seem to feel the same way--they set and maintain a comfortable vibe without the pretense. The service has always been wonderful. The drinks are well-made. Some of their original craft cocktails are especially unique. I tried the Lavender 75 for example, instead of my usual bourbon-based drink and I was pleasantly surprised. (Bombay gin, lemon juice, lavender, simple syrup, champagne--winner!) It's a small space on 18th Street with a big welcome for everyone. I'm glad we have this option when choosing where to hang out for a bit in the evening! read more

Love this place. It's small but the environment and people are always amazing. They have a great happy hour with food and drink specials too. Shout out to the tall bartender who has waited on us a the last few times! They're usually a one person show and super attentive! read more

This place has one of my favorite drinks ever, it's called smoked nuts and it's made of mezcal and amaretto and I'm not sure what else. The renovation is really nice and the bartenders are on it. read more

I really like this place. Small quaint and friendly staff. Great for a couple cocktails and apps to catch up with a friend. Small crew that typically works here - be patient, they will take care of you! Offers a nice people watching spot too! read more

Big, open area with a scattering of people. The sound system was nice. We both ordered fancy drinks and they were only so-so, thus the middling rating. For the price, they could have been more refined and better-mixed. read more

Went on a Monday night around 8/8:30 our bartender was amazing in all ways we got drinks that where not on their menu and he made them VERY WELL his energy and sprit really made the experience .We also ordered their house fry's and Justin's famous peri-peri chicken wings unfortunately the chicken wings where under cooked which resulted in me having food poisoning overall a great place to grab a drink but in my opinion not a great place for food I don't think they should sell food read more

Awesome service. Bartender was very welcoming, great conversationalist, funny and gave us our drinks and food fast. We had beers, sishito peppers and fries. Large portion of appetizers. Both apps were cooked perfect. The place is small so limited chairs. We had a great experience. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and we were the only party inside! Good: - Great service - the bartender gave us special care and even turned on the lights, brought out water a lot and was overall just a stellar person - Ambiance is great for a catchup - we had a group of 5 who went together - I did like the hash browns - really crispy and the sourdough bread was really crunchy and perfect too - Prices are super reasonable for a brunch place in SF! Bad: - The 3 egg omelet was good but it wasn't anything super special - it almost felt like the dish was all hash browns rather than the egg omelet Overall I really liked the vibe here and it got busy as we started to leave so it's definitely a good place to check out before it gets too busy! I'd come again when it's night time for the bar. read more

I was walking around casters Street and came across this bar.. Charlie was so quick to seat us and take our orders. We loved sitting outside in the slightly enclosed area, vibes are there.. Drinks were great highly recommend the espresso martini, they're light, vegan, and yummy. Thank you Charlie, truly enjoyed our experience! read more

The burger and chicken sandwich were delicious! Really enjoyed my beer but can't recall the name!

This is a real jewel in the Castro. It's definitely not a "gay bar" in the pick-up sense. Au contraire, it's a nice, small bar with a great food menu. Their burgers are great, and so is the salad that comes with. The cocktails are also first rate--try their Boulevardier. read more

Great cocktails and the service is always friendly we had to sit outside but they turned the heaters on for us so we barely noticed the evening chill. Made a mean paper plane read more
