4.25 stars Happy hour review Love sitting outside and watching the scene that is Chelsea. Has plenty of outdoor seating but can get busy during peak hours. Inside ambience is much more low-key bar. So sitting outside is the better option Happy hour food - chicken sliders were perfectly fried were perfectly fried with just the right amount of spice -beef short rib sliders were OK - would not order again - get the brussels sprouts off the regular menu. Crunchy and perfect. - fries: solid Drinks - margarita over the spritz Service : attentive and were quick with the food and drinks Definitely recommend checking out for happy hour on a nice summer day read more

Great food, great service & great atmosphere. Came here right after holidays so it's hard to get into a lot of places but we were seated within 10 mins. The music was great & the bar was lively. Got the chips and dip and they were the perfect amount of saltiness. Our mains were deceivingly big, lots of fries as the side and our drinks were also perfect. 10/10 would come back!! read more

We came for brunch and did the bottomless option, which was a great value for Manhattan. The egg white omelet I ordered was good, and my partner got the breakfast burrito which they wouldn't stop raving about. The mimosas and bloody Marys definitely stole the show. The vibe was laid back and comfortable, and our waitress was fantastic, checking in often without being overbearing. We'll definitely be back soon. read more

Stopped by for a weeknight dinner and really liked the vibe of the place. The service was friendly and we were seated quickly, which was great! The drinks were okay, though a bit on the sweet side for our taste. Food-wise, it was a bit of a mixed bag. We tried the hummus platter, veggie chili, and a chicken sandwich. The hummus platter was decent, and I enjoyed the chili, though it could use a little more flavor. Unfortunately, the chicken sandwich was a letdown--the chicken was dry, and the bread seemed past its best, falling apart and crumbly. For the price, we were hoping for a bit more. While we loved the atmosphere, the food didn't quite hit the mark for us this time read more

The copper still is in a great location and a casual place to stop in for drinks and a bite. All of the dishes on the menu sounded delicious and they have a good range of menu options as well as a separate brunch menu. I tried the BLAT and it was excellent with the homefries. The service here is awesome! Ross is an excellent bartender and is so fun and friendly, make sure he takes care of you! read more

This is a late post for one of the warmer days we had in November. I was in the Chelsea area and googled happy hours, and I decided to give this place a try. I was happy that there was outside seating when I arrived. I sat outside and decided to order Nashville Hot Chicken Sliders and the beer and shot special. The chicken sliders were crispy and tasty. I will definitely visit again to try some whisky. The interior of the bar was nice. More people were sitting outside due to the weather. The bathroom was clean. read more

Indoor outdoor dining. Great happy hour. People watching .. brisk service . Located on corner of the block

I was meeting a work partner for the first time, and we had decided on The Copper Still's Chelsea location for the gathering. I arrived at the pub first, which left me with the tough choice of where to sit on such a nice day. I was debating grabbing a table outside, but the corner was loud and busy, so I figured it would be better to sit indoors. He soon arrived, and we grabbed stools at the bar. The place was super casual, but still had great service and even a custom cocktail list. From that specialty menu, I decided to start with the Cucumber Cooler, which was also part of the happy hour specials. The drink included cucumber-infused Tito's Vodka, Italicus, and lime. While strong, I unfortunately also found it a bit too sweet, so I changed over to a Don Julio and club soda for my second beverage. My colleague really enjoyed his glass of Acrobat Pinot Gris, however. Overall, The Copper Still's Chelsea location was relaxed and easy-going, making it the perfect spot for an-person meeting. read more

Cool place to come for Happy hour drinks after work with friends before going to dinner. stayed for a around or two of drinks. didn't stay for appetizers or a meal... will have to come back for that. Got here early enough and able to get a long table for about 8 of us. Happy hour specials are available. Frose was delicious and highly recommended...just can't have only one for sure! Please make sure to drink responsibly! Service was good - it got busy fast so make sure you order quick before HH ends... There are separate individual unisex restrooms available. read more

Ordered the warm cookie skillet. Skillet was cold and the cookie was hard. Vibes here are good. Would stay away from dessert.

The food is a three, the service is a five, so I'll assign four stars. No-frills pub with pub staples like fish n chips, shepherds pie, hot chicken sliders, crab dip, tater tots, fries, burgers, and other types of sammies. I had the smoked Gouda Mac n cheese (wish I had remembered to ask for bacon). It was hot and creamy, but I think it could have used some seasoning. I also had the Nashville hot chicken sliders. I understand what they were trying to go for with the breading, but my patties weren't terribly cohesive, and the breading fell off after a couple bites. I had the cucumber cooler, the Paloma, and another drink at the recommendation of my server. All of them were pretty good, especially at 15 dollars, but none were breathtaking. My server was understated, but very attentive. She gave me recommendations on the menu. And when a large 10 top was sat right next to my single table, she astutely noticed how that might diminish my dining experience and moved me right away. Prices were very fair, especially given the area. Most things were 12-15 dollars. The most expensive thing is the fish n chips at 23 dollars. Would I got back here again and again? Nah. It's basic bar food and decent drinks. But the service was excellent and it was a convenient snack on a long day out. I definitely don't regret stopping in. read more

They have best handcut l fries and shrimp tacos. I literally crave them and bring lots of people here during the day. I love sitting outside in the nice weather. It's very crowded and noisy at night, so the lunch time and late afternoon scene suits me just fine. The staff always greets me with a friendly smile. I will continue to come here often! read more

Great bar with a nice little menu. The ambiance and the vibe is always warm, welcoming and inviting here. Fully stocked bar with a cocktail menu ++ several gin options. Plenty of seating at the bar, or at the tables, or my favorite, right by the window. The place is casual so its perfect if your meeting with friends or going on a date. They draw a nice crowd with a range of ages, so this place really appeals to anyone. The blistered peppers were perfect and the dipping sauce complimented them perfectly! Ill definitely check them out again. read more

I don't know how this place has four stars. I ordered the fish end chips from here and it was one of the most flavorless meals I've ever had. It was difficult to get through and borderline inedible. The only thing good was the portion. They give you two large pieces of unseasoned fish. The fish batter was actually decently applied. The fries were pretty bad though. They didn't seem fresh. The so called tartar sauce tasted like macaroni salad, like ur came straight from a salad bar. It was gross. Overall, very disappointing experience. read more

My friends and I came across this place while we were searching for a spot for brunch. We dined outdoors where there was quite a bit of socially distanced seating. The brunch special was served with coffee, which was very yummy with intense coffee taste. For the entrée, I ordered the Fried Chicken and Waffles. It can be difficult to create this dish, because usually either the chicken or waffles are standouts, but not both. At this restaurant, this is not the case. There were 2 large pieces of fried chicken breast, with a waffle underneath, along with strawberries and blueberries on top, and whipped cream on the side. The fried chicken was absolutely delicious! Lightly battered to perfection, well seasoned, delightfully tender and juicy. The waffle had a slight crunch and was also moist, buttery as well as tasty. This meal was a generous portion, so I also took some home. Service was pretty good, though it did take a little bit of time for us to receive our food. The waitress was aware and apologized for this. She was pleasant and quite friendly. I might return at some point perhaps to for dinner and to try the Cheese and Charcuterie Plate. read more

Possibly no better place than the Copper Still to rendezvous with your work friend, his mother and 4 of his other friends. We sat in an entertaining corner booth accompanied by a dangerously wobbly table. Luckily, our needs were preempted by a complimentary stack of napkins. The stack was the ideal size to stabilize the gap under a rickety leg. If you find yourself at this table in the same predicament, I offer to you this famous engineering solution. I ordered the Chicken & Waffles. It was a good take on the classic dish. The size on these chicken slabs was notable. The exterior was perfectly crunchy and well-seasoned, however the inner chicken was lacking in tenderness. Not a huge deal as there was ample syrup, hot sauce, and ketchup to go around. The dollop of whipped cream was secretly my favorite part of the meal. It felt like each dairy particle bonded to a pleasure receptor in my brain. I experienced a small high. This was a fun spot for a group and I'd look forward to coming here again! read more

- open late - great staff - awesome Brussels - ambiance is fun - chicken sandwich could use some work - shepherds pie needed more seasoning Portion was large! - spacious and easily fit our group of seven We walked right in, sat down immediately on a Saturday night 10pm read more

Went back for happy hour and the menu was fantastic. Got some beers and fries, everyone enjoyed

Came here for happy hour the other day. Happy hour runs until 6pm Monday - Friday. Beers are $6, house cocktails for $7 and some cocktails for $10. They have sliders for $3 and fries for $6. We sat outside, and the set up is pretty nice. There were a lot of people out there on their laptops (probably left work early to take advantage of the deal but still had to work). The inside was empty, but looks like a nice set up as well. The service was pretty fast and everyone was friendly. The pulled pork slider was very greasy, but tasted delicious. The cocktails we got were good, but nothing special, and same with the fries. Overall, not a bad place to stop in during happy hour. We didn't order anything off the real menu so will have to come back and see if the rest of their food is good also! read more

Did some day drinking in the middle of the afternoon on a Thursday. #livingthelife The place wasn't busy at all and I got some prime seats outside. Met with a friend and we had some drinks. I had Allagash white and she had frozen marg. Our waitress was on point and brought the drinks out right when we finished our currents on cue. Fast and friendly service. Although I did order the fried chicken sando, but she brought me the fried chicken instead. A $8 mistake, but it was good either way. Now thinking about it, I still want that chicken sandwich more than ever now haha. My friend stole my fries (although they were a bit dry and lacked adequate dipping sauces). Another friend walked by as well and saw us, what a small world! Chill place with good vibes read more

The Copper Still Chelsea - Day drinking on a Thursday? Yes, please! It's 5pm somewhere #lifegoals #beeroclock #procrastinationnation - Whiskey Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Whiskey bar with a coupe location in lower Manhattan's west side. Some great options at comparatively reasonable prices versus what I've seen elsewhere. Some pours were 80% less from what I've seen within a mile radius. I had the Michter's 10 year bourbon and the William Larue Weller. It would have been cheaper for me to pay for a full bottle of pours here than to buy these bottles from local liquor stores. I appreciated the great variety and the fair pricing. Super happy to try both whiskeys and there were a handful more that o had my eye on. They had a gender neutral restroom with four private stalls and exterior sinks. read more

Incredible service!!!! Peter is the best, followed by David and Mana. Perfect Thursday evening, around 11:30. Our crew of five friends were super impressed and the cocktails were perfect!!!! Music was literally almost everything from my playlists. As I'm from Chicago, I love a great bar... We'll definitely return!!! read more

Copper Still was described to me as comfort food plus whiskey. That was all I needed to know. The crowd was a bit younger and more lively than I expected, but that added to the ambiance. If you want it a little quieter, sit in the back or on the left. The whiskey selection features a variety of Irish and American whiskies, but understand that with shipping problems these days, things aren't always available, so have backup choices. They've got some good cocktails too. read more

First night in NYC and this place was right around the corner. I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich and it was everything I was hoping it would be. The breading maintained its crunch throughout, it was messy and delicious. Its a pretty simple sandwich, didn't need to be crammed with toppings, the slaw and sauce were such a good pairing. My husband got the mac and cheese with bacon, he enjoyed it but I felt that the bacon could have been cooked more (I enjoy the crunch of bacon). The staff was friendly, funny and efficient, even for a Saturday night where they appeared fairly busy. They are checking vaccine status when you dine-in, so be prepared for that if you're not from there. (Sorry my pic is from halfway through the sandwich, I was so hungry I forgot to snap one before I cut it in half!). read more

There's something about this place that in every time I've passed it it's given me a bad vibe. My friend and I had both the same adjectives really in describing it: deuchey, bro bar, over-priced American Irish gastro pub bar that's trying to pose as being an upscale and elevated bistro perhaps . . . . I'm not sure what you even label this as. Folks might love it because they do an all you can drink mimosa/bloody mary brunch on weekends for $20 on top of your entree on weekends. No idea. I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt and raised my rating from what would easily be 2.5-2.7 stars to a 3 because times are tough now and I really didn't try their food so it might not be completely fair. Don't be deluded, this isn't a gastropub by any degree. There were about only 6-8 tops beers on draft of nothing inspirational. I had three rounds of Allagash wheat and my buddy had blue point. The requisite order of a food item wouldn't be minded if it wasn't suggested we get popcorn because the waiter looked at us and said "it's the cheapest thing on the menu". $4 for popcorn sprinkled with zaatar, lemon, and butter in a really opulent vessel that looks like at one point in it's life it held a fancy guacamole in its abdomen. I've had popcorn for free before in pubs but okay. The french fries had I known were only like $2-3 more expensive I would have plunged for since that's actual almost food and in hindsight I left a large enough tip that it made getting the popcorn a completely moot point. As far as the spacing for the covid precautions - its a bit weird. The outdoor seating is probably more ideal. If you're just two people hanging out, it's peculiar since each seating station is blocked off with opaque glass making it the most anti-social trip to a bar I've had in months. Meanwhile, the bar was warm and really stuffy so I'm not entirely sure how much a maze of plexiglass throughout the place helps. But it definitely doesn't help with getting the waiters attention for another round of drinks or the check. Since the menu is all paperless and online, it'd make sense if they set up an online ordering system that links to your credit card. I've seen that done at a number of bars and restaurants recently and it makes for a more fluid and quick pickup of orders instead of people sitting around confused and beer-less. read more

I've been to the Copper Still twice and enjoyed both experiences. The food, drinks and service are consistently good. I highly recommend ordering "THE" espresso martini as a drink and the chicken sandwich for your meal. So delicious. read more

Casual and laid back bar but not a dive. Prices are more reasonable and the food is great. Service is mostly nice but can at times be slow.

I pass by the Copper Still often because I work near the area. I decided to make a reservation recently for my family and I to have brunch there. We all arrived just after the reservation time. The hostess at the time was very friendly as she showed us to our table. During the little over an hour that we were there, the restaurant got really busy but it wasn't so noisy that we couldn't hear ourselves talk. I ordered the stuffed French toast and an order of macaroni and cheese because it looked so tasty on the picture that we saw online. It did not disappoint. The French toast was really good too. Everyone enjoyed their food. I also enjoyed the music playing. Next time, I'll make sure to come back when the weather is warmer to sit outside and enjoy my food al fresco. read more

A toast to the New Year! An impromptu meet up with a friend for drinks on 1/3 turnt out to be a launching pad for some 2019 goals and resulted in my first review of the year. In the Chelsea area earlier for lunch at one of my low key favorite Thai spots, I hit up a friend (shout out to Tameeka B.) to say hey I'm in the neighborhood. With some quick text'n back and fourth. We made plans to grab drinks after work. We arrived @ about 6:30 to a light crowd at the bar (to your right) and only a couple of tables occupied (to your left) on a Thursday evening. We were promptly seated and quickly realized HH ended @ 7pm. Our waiter Evan did not hesitate to put in our orders for both round 1 and 2 quickly before the clock ran out. Lol. Drinks (HH $10): -Still Fashionable -Honeybee Food (Appetizers): -Bourbon Wings ($14) -Hot Chicken Sliders ($12) Service was great as Evan was a delight and the drinks were on point. I'm one who enjoys a good old fashion and their version was good but the Honeybee shined bright. The appetizers were also great, my preference would be the Wings (w/ ranch only plz) over the Hot Chicken Sliders. They were tasty but too much bread, the ratio of chicken to carbs was off. My friend agreed, since she has frequented TCS and had them previously noting larger pieces of protein to handle the buns. TCS is new to the Chelsea area, only a few months old but solid. With a dim welcoming feel of lighting and decor of some classic brands of alcohol tastefully adorning the walls it's perfect for drinks and something to nosh on while in the area. Just A Note: They feature a different HH special each day along with the drinks and they honor HH table side. (it's not just bar only) read more

We popped in for a drink before dinner down the street. The drinks were good. Service was a little slow.

A year later and I brought my family. Sorry to say it was not the same. Service was erratic and the chicken and waffle was not as good. I was so disappointed especially after having such a great experience a year ago. I felt bad since I talked it up so highly. read more

Sitting at the bar while making this review. The copper still is lovely to hang out at after a day of errands - casual, lively, and filled with people of all ages, most seem to be younger. Service was kind and fast, and not intrusive. Menu is very straightforward and simple but all are winners. The food is yummy and very well priced - most capping at $14-$15 per plate (very good for NYC) I plan to be back soon! read more

Cute place, nicely spaced out tables. My table specially was incredibly unstable and wobbly which was a slight annoyance. The staff were nice but the food was just bad to be honest. I barely ate half and didn't even togo it because I just knew i wouldn't eat it. It's pretty hard to mess up on fries but even the fries were not good. Too thick. Tasted like I was eating a salted baked potato. The fried chicken was WAY too big to eat in a sandwich. The whole thing kept falling apart every time I took a bite and I tried cutting with a knife too. The batter of the chicken completely came off the meat so it was like eating grilled chicken with fried batter separately. I was excited because this is one of the only restaurants in NY that has ranch and gives it for free as well but the ranch literally tasted like cole slaw. I think cole slaw may be their signature food Bc the fried chicken sandwich had cole slaw in it. Personally didn't like it but could appeal to others. read more

Love this place. The Chicken and Waffles were great. Lots of outdoor tables.

Yelp reviews lead me to this place. The yelp nation loves it so you know I had to validate that. Walking in it looks like your typical pub. It even has that typical pub smell which I am not the biggest fan of. The bar area had some people but the tables were empty. Don't think it is a hotspot for lunch so maybe dinner is better. The service was pretty good even though there was only one person serving for lunch. The guy made the experience nice for us. The menu is pretty straightforward. I have never had buffalo cheese curds though and they were the perfect snack. So good. The chicken sandwich had a lot of bread compared to chicken but it was still good. I went with the grilled fish tacos and I enjoyed them. Everything was solid but it was still bar food. Nothing really elevated about it but doesn't mean the dishes weren't executed well. In the end, the reviews aren't necessarily off. It is a solid place with good food and on point service. Don't come if you want to be wow'd but if you are looking for a drink and a meal come through. I have this at a 3.5 but bumped it up because I am feeling nice! read more
