This is one of my favorite places to go, the burgers and big and juicy and the cheese curds with buttermilk ranch are soooo good they slap hard! I usually get the burger with blue cheese crumbles, Swiss cheese, cheddar cheese and sautéed mushrooms and onions medium well, not pink or very little pink. The place is small for the crowd it draws so don't expect it to be quiet cuz it never is. That's my only gripe is it's butts to elbows but other than that the space is a typical bar and the food is on the moderate scale for bar food but for sure worth what you're paying. The service is standard just make sure to ask for all the sides at once instead of sending the wait staff back for extra ranch or ketchup, etc. it can take a long time. But if you're looking for a good local watering hole with bomb digity food, this is the place to go. read more

Not a fan of Taco Tuesday: 1st problem: Bar cheese, not any Mexican cheeses. 2nd problem: Ordered the three fish tacos special. Served two ground beef tacos and one fish tacos. 3rd problem: Ground beef was unseasoned. Not tasty. 4th problem: Charged $3 to substitute a side salad for the fries. Typically not charged ... On the plus side: Large tacos and served hot from the grill read more

Love the Copper Mug. The clam chowder soup was delicious. Corned beef anything is delicious. Fish and chips for Friday during lent were very good. Service is good. Efficient. Place gets busy and sometimes it takes a while to get your food. Casual low key ambiance. read more

I came to visit my bf who just moved up the street from Copper Mug and we always wanted to try it. Welp, we did the other night for a drink it was a horrible experience. Katy / Katie/ KT the bartender had a disgusting attitude. She was rude the entire time, but not to whom appeared to be the regulars on her bar rail - white older men. Too bad Katie was such a jerk because we won't come back. It's unfortunate because the wings looked good and we have money to spend on good food and service. Hey Katie, maybe you shouldn't work with the public? read more

Great little place. More than good service. Lots of regulars. Always at least 75% busy. Outdoor seat but no shade. Reasonable prices. Always busy for a sporting event read more

The worst service I've ever experienced in my entire life. Half our table didn't even get their food, while the owner stared from the corner and did nothing read more

Ahhh.. What to say about the Copper Mug! Just an all around great place. Great food, great place to meet up with friends for a few rounds. Nice balcony/ porch area in the summer. Service is good. The place has been around forever. If those walls could talk, lol Drop by, bring your friends! read more

Went here to play some Golden Tee. Pulled up and thought it was a nice dive bar. It was way better than that! Not a large building but that's what make it so great! Has an awesome patio! I was most impressed with the staff and the cleanliness! I travel a lot and visit a lot of restaurants! This is top ten for both! Kay the bartender was amazing! read more

I have been going to the Copper Mug for over 50 years for the Mug burger because was cooked to order and value from 11am to 2pm. It is obvious that there has been an owner change, I'm told an attorney now owns it. The Mug burger was $8.75 for years, then about a year ago it went to $9.25. Now in the last week the cost is $11.00. Not a great deal anymore. Today will be the last time I go to the Copper Mug and let me explain. Normally, the Mug is packed for the lunch special between 11am and 2pm, but not today. I ordered the Mug burger special was always, I stressed I wanted it medium rare. Because there was vertually no one in the place my order was next, so my normal wait time of 30 to 45 minutes should be unnecessary. I ended up waiting about 20 minutes and the cook brought my order over, I thanked her and asked if it was medium rare to which she replied yes. To my astonishment, the burger was well done and the fries were ice cold! Not what I was expecting at all. When I got my bill, I explained the issue to provide feedback for the establishment. My server then picked up the tab and apologized for my experience. Just as I am getting ready to leave, my server approached me and explained that whenever there's a complaint they needed to call the owner. The owner instructed that I needed to pay them the old price of $9.25. I was floored! I paid, and explained that I nor any other people that I recommended to Copper Mug to over the years will ever set foot here again. I hope the owner is a better attorney than he is being a pub owner! Goodbye forever. read more

Amazing food, takes a while for your food but they only have one person making food but its always worth it. I go every other week. Favorite is the suicide burger. read more

Copper Mug has delicious burgers... and probably a lot of other good things on the menu, as well, but when I go, I get takeout for the burger. The ambiance is definitely a small (cramped) bar seen. The wait staff is friendly and welcoming. If you're not into the scene, grab some takeout. Highly recommend the olive burger. read more

Come with good company-- food takes a while because there is one cook! But burger was great and flavorful and worth the wait. Garlic fries are 10/10! Great patio to sit out on when weather is nice! read more

Food is always good. I have been coming here for years and never disappoints. Thanks!

Amazing burgers and appetizers. Cass is the best server I've had anywhere. Super sweet and great service

Absolutely 4 starts. This is a little place with dig taste. A single server who manages a demanding crowd with ease. As far as atmosphere, it's what you would expect when you pull up to the place. Comfortable, neighborhood bar feel. The burger I had was the copper mug burger with the bourbon sauce. Cooked to the correct temp and loaded with flavor, I could actually taste the bourbon in the bbq sauce. Tots which were not greasy added a nice and different side. A decent glass of wine and good company made for a good time overall. Give it a try! read more

We love the copper mug! All of the food is excellent and very well priced. The atmosphere are staff are very fun too. Highly recommend!

Had the corned beef sliders and jalapeno poppers. Both were delicious!! A must have every visit. Service was fast and friendly. Will definitely return :) read more

Copper Mug - Corned beef sliders with sauerkraut - Sports Bars Near Me - Walled Lake, Michigan

The food is always amazing! And the service is phenomenal. Both Chloe and Susie did a great job!

GF & I came in for a couple bar burgers and fries. It took nearly an hour to get the order. We watched as the cook was floating around the bar instead of doing her job. The people next to us came in after us, and received their order way before ours. The burgers weren't anything special. The fries were disgusting, shoestring fries. There were like 20 little fries that looked like toothpicks. The place wasn't that packed either. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Food is great, but be patient as there are usually busy. Service is great. Can be very loud when other are feeling good and start to yell over each other. read more

The service was amazing. I had the veggie spring rolls and my boyfriend had the suicide burger and he LOVED it. Everything came out fast. The margarita was not very good, the Moscow mule was great. Again, she service was amazing. We had two friends meet us later and the waitress took their order immediately. Only complaint is it was freezing in there, bring a jacket lol read more

Love this place! Food is amazing and reasonable prices. Suzi is the best and always makes us feel so welcome!

Small and I heard, newly renovated. Patio in front and side for those nice days that we won't see for much longer. Good parking. Casual atmosphere, quick to get your order. Sandwiches, burgers are the bulk of the menu. Good beer list for both draft and bottle, prominently displayed on the wall. A few TVs surround filled with sports- for us bowling! I opted for the steak sandwich- without the cheese. It was tasty with mushroom and onions, nice thick steak, well cooked to be able to snap off a bite of sandwich. Came with many many fries. My companion opted for the olive burger and ate every bite in the 1/2 pound version. We ordered the firecracker fries and lips were made hot hot hot!! Helpful to wash down with some beer! (And water of course!) cute and casual spot! Did take us a few and the place had filled up - only maybe one waitress that night taking care of dining. She was doing great !!! read more

This was my first time here. I came in the afternoon and was amazed to see the parking lot filled with cars. There was a tigers game on, but I found out that the big attraction was reduced cost for their hamburger today. Service was good, but do not come here if you have little time From the time I ordered till I got my food was over a half an hour. Food was good. Environment is comfortable and nice. Staff was very friendly and seemed that the full house of customers were also enjoying themselves and feeling happy. I would definitely come back here again. read more

Suzi and Danii are awesome! Lunch was delicious! The best corned beef around. It might take a little longer to get your food but it definitely worth it! You're missing out if you don't check this place out!!!! read more

Great burgers, favorite is the gourmet burger with goat cheese. Have heard good things about all their other food as well. There is usually a wait for food (sometimes over an hour) but the waitresses will let you know. Very small inside , they have tables and a bar area. Highly recommend! read more

The food here is so good! We've enjoyed the pretzel bites, onion rings, burgers, and fries. All have been so great everytime we've been here. The alcohol is cheap and I'd recommend trying out their margaritas. It's a small place with one cook and one server taking care of tables so keep that in mind when going, however it has always been quick to receive attention even when it is full. read more

Little hole in the wall, oh I do love you! My fiancé and I have been driving by this place for years and finally decided to enjoy lunch there. We were surprised to see how busy it was on a Sunday afternoon. Lots of parking available though. When we walked in we were greeted by the staff and customers. What a warm welcome! The customers at the bar invited us to join them, so we did! My patty melt lunch with a Moscow mule or two was delicious! My fiancé got the mushroom Swiss burger, which was just as good. I recommend you share a side because they are giant! We ordered the shoestring fries and they came in a giant basket. Our bartender/server was awesome! Super sweet! She let me try a couple of ciders/beers before going with a Moscow mule. We were at the copper mug! Moscow mule is a must! Although thing I love about this place is the kitchen is in the bar! This bar has been around since 1965 and knowing that they cook everything right in front of you definitely makes me see things are clean and I just like it! Funny enough... this was our last meal out before the state wide mandates around social distancing/quarantines and all that Jazz. Truly enjoyed it! read more

Copper Mug is one of metro Detroits best kept secrets in the burger battle and is also a great watering hole.

A little hole in the wall bar. From the outside it may not appear as much but once you open the door you are greeted with rock music, patrons laughing and enjoying their food and friendship, and the smell of the perfect bar burgers and fries. They have a nice assortment of drinks and standard bar food but it is all cooked really well. It is a relaxed environment that you can sit back and enjoy. Highly recommend building your own burger and don't forget to add the olives for the perfect salty bite. Parmesan fries are crispy and perogies are perfectly cooked. Definitely come to this place for a neighborhood hangout that has some good bites. read more

I had the corn beef slider and it was to die for. I would get it every time I'm there. The owner was the cook and was super friendly

This is a great neighborhood bar. The other patrons were friendly and the staff was nice and really great too. The food- the mushrooms were VERY good as were the burgers. We also got a Ruben alder which was huge! So good and messy and tasty. The cheese curds were so so- a bit too done so half of them lost the cheese and had nothing in them. But overall this was a thumbs up just skip the curds. read more
