Copper Bull

Stopped for Happy Hour early on a Friday, like 4:30. Was pleasantly surprised by the food! The RJ PB Sliders, Bacon, White Cheddar, Peanut Butter, Chipotle-Raspberry Jam, on Brioche Buns , although my wife was skeptical at first, were excellent! And the Pork street taco's were tasty beyond expectation. There was a upcharge for the onion rings. Happy hour drinks were not light pours, but I will admit that I asked the waitress if they had anything 'Guinness like', meaning Dark and she directed me to the Dragon's Milk Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout which was ANYTHING but dark. I had asked for a tiny sample first and was told they do not do samples for that one as it is a higher ABV?? Not sure if that is a legal thing or their policy, needless to say I was a little disappointed at it not being a dark beer, luckily it was actually not bad. Would have been a 5 Star experience if not for that Light beer!

Food is excellent, service is great. The owner serves and talks to everyone. Drinks and happy hour are the best. This place is a winner all the way around.Doreen Loden a local....

My brother was in town and we had exhausted our goto places so I got on Yelp and looked for an adventure. Hit on Copper Bull because of the reviews. Walking in we passed a long bar and went over to the tables on the right and were immediately greeted with a smile. We could sit where ever we want as we were their pretty early. I had looked at the menu online and saw a Walleye dish I wanted but alas it wasn't on the menu anymore. The place is just opening as Copper Bull so small things can be overlooked. Nothing to worry about too much. I switched to the Pesto Chicken sandwich. The chicken breast inside was cooked perfectly, not overcooked and dry like so many places, and the sauce really made it stand out. My brother ordered a Double Burger which might have been called Diablo burger on the menu as it had Diablo cheese sauce along with green chili, grilled onions, avocado and more. He said it was cooked perfectly very rare which is unusually difficult to find and a big plus. On the negative side it said it was 2 1/2 lb patties and that was really suspect. It looked much more like 2 1/4 lb's to create a 1/2 lb. We didn't weight it of course but he seemed a bit disappointed although a pound of meat on a sandwich is kind of excessive, smile. I did not get a report on my wifes meal. We also had Onion Rings and Fries and both were in the higher end of great quality and flavor. The look inside is very pleasant, plenty of wood and there are artists paintings of bulls on the walls that are face on to the bull who is clearly running hard. They are full of action and energy and really pleasant. Finally we didn't stay but it was trivia night and the TV's were changed to permit and encourage the whole bar to participate using cell phones. The questoins and results would likely show up on the screen along with the winning self appointed team. I'll bet it's alot of fun.

Went here for lunch spur of the moment, we split the food and they were very accommodating and gave us separate plates with more then enough for 2People. The sangria was homemade and good. The bar is a great size, and very comfortable.

This past summer, the Black Mountain Tavern became Copper Bull. It still has an extensive bar, multiple tvs, and good food. It's the same location, so still no patio with a view, but I really like the new look with the wood up the walls and bull decor sprinkled throughout. We didn't have big enough appetites for appetizers, but the pretzel bites and jalapeno hush puppies walked by us and looked good. The kids shared chicken tenders and fries, and they were pretty good. Us adults shared two flatbreads: the bbq chicken and steak & blue. Both were very good. I also tried the Rosy Bee gin cocktail. It wasn't my favorite that I've had (that's just personal preference though) but it was a pretty presentation, and there are so many more to try. This is a nice lunch and dinner option nearby when you don't want to drive all the way into downtown Cave Creek or busy Desert Ridge.

So Thursday night is karaoke night and tonight was a disaster! Unfortunately management was not on duty. Kindergarteners were given the microphones time after time and were allowed to attempt the lyrics at full blast. At least 6/7 long songs during the hour we were present. This is a BAR NOT A BABY SITTING JOINT. There was no thought given to the few of us trying to eat. The two adults who were given a couple of songs were great, but had to step down for the kids. Apart from that the food was not near the usual standards. We gratefully escaped as quickly as possible. It will certainly be our last Thursday night there.

We hadn't stopped in since the name change so we decided to try their Happy Hour. We had a couple drinks, then ordered some HH munchies. First we had the hush puppies and the pretzel bites. The hush puppies were legit, especially when dipped into the cheese sauce that came with the pretzels. The pretzels were good but there weren't many of them. After a bit, we tried the potato chips and the chicken wings. The chips were subpar as many were undercooked and rubbery. The wings were huge and good but not great. We used the leftover onion dip from the chips on the wings. All in all, it was okay but nothing special.

This restaurant/bar has such a great neighborhood vibe. The decor is comfortable and the cool lighting is perfectly set. We were greeted with a smile and made to feel very welcome. Service was friendly and efficient. We got buffalo wings and fried pickles (not the healthiest I know) and both were very good. The wings were everything you want from a great wing, meaty and tender in a great sauce and the pickles were definitely homemade. I am looking forward to trying other menu items. This is such a great addition to the Tatum Ranch area

Drinks are fantastic and the bar looks impeccable. It's always nice when the bartenders use top shelf bottles and don't up charge crazy. Food is very good, and staff is always friendly.

Second try and again did not meet expectations. 2 of 2 meals ordered were average at best. Steak salad was served with very under cooked meat when requested well-done. Chicken fried steak lacked any flavor. Hoped for better but it fell short.
