You can buy a bottle and drink there or take home with you. Same with the beer. They also have wine and beer by the glass. The wine selection is small but decent. I have found a couple of gems. The store is small with a few seats inside. They also have seating outside the store, inside City Market. Great place to grab a drink or a bottle to go, when visiting downtown. Cash, card and Apple Pay accepted. YELP GRIPE. I get this place opened about a month ago, but still, why am I adding this business to Yelp? It's in a very high traffic area and should have already been listed on Yelp. I am glad Yelp gives us the option to add businesses, but it seems I have added more than my share of businesses to Yelp in 2024.

The lady working that night was amazing. She knew all the regulars and even made us outsiders feel welcome and seen. She is a keeper and if I could transplant her to Oregon, I would! Hands down recommend this place for a beer and a spot to sit while you are walking around.

There was zero parking in downtown and I'm glad about that - this was pretty awesome. A definite family-friendly vibe here with some kids running about and others playing cornhole. At least a half-dozen dogs on leashes too. I left my wife seated outside while I popped in for beers. Hi-Wire Lager for me and a non-alcoholic ginger beer for my wife. Delicious and tasty and a fun spot to people watch because there are so many! Tip: Get the pizza first. It's made to order and takes 20+ minutes!

We started walking around and my wonderful wife suggested Copper Penny. Absolutely! There was a short wait for a table, but we didn't mind. The inside is almost like we remember it. We did notice the menu is a lot smaller. The last time we dined here was around ten years ago. Definitely plenty of options. We went with the onion ring appetizer, Cobb salad, and the BBQ Burger. The atmosphere of Copper Penny is the same. Definitely missed this place. After a short wait our food was brought out. Everything was delicious. This is just an update, but we still love Copper Penny and will continue to return.

Inside we a long and narrow, mostly large wooden booths and a large bar. Darker. Started with sodas, a beer, and the dragonfruit mimosa (I didn't wind up drinking/liking the flavor- but also didnt say anything as honestly know my taste better. Sharing feedback for others that it is on the sweeter side- which you may love). Buffalo chicken sandwich, sauce on side with fries. Enjoyed, typical but large sandwich. Chicken pita, enjoyed- fries on side. Philly cheesesteak with Caesar salad side- really liked. Owner is from Philly, which made a difference. Grilled chicken with side Cobb salad- lots of cheese and mushrooms and onions. Super delicious bread- soft with some flake since still crunch and not soggy. Salad was fresh and delicious. Pork sandwich- my husband liked, it was good but I didn't love the meat flavor. Concepts with having spinach and such was great. Manager/owner(?) came by to each table too. Definitely worth a trip to explore- fresh ingredients. Next time the wings...

From the outside, it's easy to underestimate the space, but there's tons of seating indoors and a large courtyard in the back. Even when it's slammed, we've always been able to find a spot to hang out. They also have a fair amount of TVs around if you want to watch sports. Definitely recommend checking it out, especially if you have a larger group looking for food and drinks. ++=

There was a whole pub crawl group when we went and it definitely got busy! Frozen drinks, THC drinks, beers, and cocktails for drinks. Ended up getting a guava wit 6 pack on the way out and it was great - sour, fruity, very drinkable. Lots of food options but we were told to get the garlic knots and we definitely needed those! The sausage and fennel pizza was delicious, I do wish the fennel had been a little more caramelized/charred.

I do feel like they use quality ingredients and make everything by hand, but I've never had a pie that impressed me. In my last few visits I've gotten the caramel oatmeal cream pie, which I really like. It's chewy and not too sweet. A friend of mine loves their 'pop tart' style pastries, but I haven't tried one yet. Do NOT order coffee. We stopped in after dinner on a Saturday night and my husband ordered a coffee. It took several minutes, as a French press does, but I don't know what to call the drink he received. It was weak and there were grounds all in it. If I could make a suggestion, I would just switch to drip coffee. The pink French presses are cute but not worth the time. I'll keep trying it because I love dessert and I really want to find something that changes my mind!
