High Rockies

The ambiance, service, and drink didn't warrant a $20 Old Fashioned. Fairly disappointed that I upgraded to a "barrel aged" $22 drink and it was poured out of a spigot mini cask.

Worst service I've experienced in my many visits to Copper and I won't be back. I came in March 30 around 2:30 p.m. and the bartender rejected my first order because it didn't live up to what he thought someone should want from a whiskey bar. Then, he rejected the second order because, as he put it, "I don't really like making those, either." He was so rude, even other patrons at the bar seemed taken aback by his attitude. I wasn't in the mood to argue, so instead of the drink I ordered, I ended up with a $30 shot of something I didn't want, and that didn't taste good in the first place.I won't be wasting any more of my money, time or patience here.

Austin was super knowledgeable of all the bourbon, the vibes were great and the conversation was also awesome. 10/10 would return.

The Copper Mountain Resort Bar and Restaurant scene has been a challenge in the last two years (2020-21) with reduced tourism. This place has survived and seems to have a formula for success. That is, be personable, adaptable, and offer things you may not be able to get elsewhere.Personable: I sat at the bar and the two ladies took care of me, my questions, and just were talkative but not in a bothersome way. It was a slow weeknight so conversation among the patrons that were there was free and easy. Probably had me stay for another.Adaptable: They can handle big parties in a downstairs area, I believe do karaoke certain nights, have beer, wine, and mixed drinks. TVs for the game of interest for your crew. Or corner tables for something more quiet. Can meet your need.Things not available elsewhere: I started looking for a whiskey flight but the price and not finding a mix led me to just go a la carte for some whiskey (and I mixed in a beer). They can answer questions or do your own research online for local ones of which you are not familiar.I didn't try the food, the descriptions sounded good, not sure this is a place (given other nearby) to settle in for dinner, but there was food.The prices weren't what I would call friendly BUT again, given you're on the mountain and current prices are rising, was reasonable.I'll drop by here in the future for a whiskey or beer or the company.

This is the worst bar I've ever been to. DJ is absolutely horrendous. Place is empty and clearly only for regulars.

Yoooooo! The gumbo!!! You need this in your life. Staff is awesome! Stop by high rockies!

Positives first- this places has a seriously extensive whiskey list. So if that's your jam, this place would give you options. One of the two sandwiches we had was pretty good too, though the panini bread was too thin and not toasted enough Experience though. I'll stick with my other favorites. We had to pay for our drinks separately, and there was a significant wait time before the other waitress appeared to take our order. She said she would take it, but had to check if there was a cook downstairs. Um....ok? We ordered two sandwiches that came with kettle chips- when the sandwiches were ready, we were told they didn't have the chips, but they replaced them with tortilla chips. There was no discount either for the unwelcome substitution. Overall, I cannot recommend this place, especially given all of the other options around. Hopefully they can turn it around.

The re-branding of whiskey is awesome Austin and Marco are amazing. Took care of everyone during a snow storm. Will definitely be back again!

Great place for a drink. We really loved the atmosphere and the music. Service was GREAT. Will definitely be coming back.

We go to copper several times a year, this place is bad vibes 101. If you do not work at copper, do not bother going. Also we walk in at 6:58 pm, and they said they were closing. They continuously close very early and turn people away; for a bar that says "open late" online? You walk by hours later, and it's a closed door friends hangout. They need to consider turning over some staff
