The bar here is alright so would not touch the actual bar but it is tacky sticky disgusting not sealed, A bacteria haven. I may be a bit of a germ A phob but wiped it with water and a napkin and it was disgusting and still after that touching it felt sticky disgusting and gross. A bar should always be sealed never porous like this ..Live music was alright. Has outside seating . read more

Copper Queen Hotel - Bar top - Hotels Near Me - Bisbee, Arizona

This review is so long overdue, being that I was married here four years ago. And before then, we'd stayed at the Copper Queen plenty. And since then, we always visit. So, short version, the all-inclusive version: 4 stars. The fifth star left off because of their restaurant. The one that garners most of the hotel's negative reviews. People who've never stayed overnight, and never will, review the entire hotel on the basis of that small, shoddily-serviced restaurant attached to the hotel lobby. Regardless, the hotel itself is grand! Like, old school, 1890s, lover-of-history grand! The staff that planned our our wedding was grand. The catering provided by the hotel for our reception was, by all accounts, grand! And our honeymoon stay, as well as the stay of our accompanying out-of-town guests, was without complaint. Meaning, absolutely grandiose! Every six months or so my husband and I pop into the lobby to say hello and buy a bottle of the Copper Queen wine. We've avoided the restaurant, but I hear it's better now. And if it's not, don't say I didn't warn you. Just remember, the rooms and the hospitality are very old westernly yours. read more

We had such a blast visiting Bisbee! This hotel was perfect. It's old and wonderful! We had our one year anniversary and the hubs told them and they provided some bubbly and a couple treats for us! Even if this wasn't for a special occasion, this hotel is awesome. The rooms, at least ours, was huge! It was right by the pool and coffee room. The stairs were right there so we could go down to the bar or restaurant. We mainly were at the bar listening to the awesome live music and sitting with locals and visitors alike. What really stuck with me was when we were out on the patio with the live music, a group sat next to us. It turns out most of them were employees there. To me, if you work there, and you want to stay there after hours, that says a lot. The woman we spoke with was so proud of what she did for the hotel and proud of Bisbee. It made me like the place that much more! Plus, its haunted.... We will for sure be returning to Bisbee and will use this as our hotel! read more

A Ghost Story: We arrived at the Copper Queen hoping to find some ghosts. A fellow who was rather surly and kept cutting our questions off checked us in, and we arrived in our miniscule room. Floral wallpaper was peeling, the lamp was falling apart, and there was no where to put our bags. After we got in to our room, Richard was laying on the bed, and I was sitting at the desk, writing something. All of the sudden, someone said "hi" into my ear. I looked at Richard and asked "Were you talking to me?" He said no, so I asked if he had heard someone in the room. He said no. We decided to go exploring. We went around room 315, and I could not pass it. There was this very negative, bad energy that my body wouldn't let me pass. It was not welcoming at all. We found out later that it was Julia Lowell's room, one of the spirits said to haunt the hotel. We went to the Bisbee Brewing Co (amazing, but that is another Yelp), and returned to the hotel. We went to the same hallway, and didn't feel any sort of energy. We went to the front desk to make dinner reservations. The restaurant was delicious, I'm not sure why it got bad reviews. We had the pesto dip, ravioli florentine and chicken cordon blue. Our server, Garreth, was hilarious and very personable. We then went back to the front desk and the ladies were so nice. They talked to us for a long time about lots and lots of different things. We found out Zak Baggins from Ghost Adventures is a big jerk face, which made me sad. We came back after another round of the brewery and talked to a different guy who knew more about Blizzard games than Richard, and was fun to talk to. It was then bed time. We had a night vision camera that we turned on for the first couple hours we were asleep. At 3:16 am, I woke up. It was sweltering in our room, because it was cold when we fell asleep and we turned the heater on high and fell asleep. I felt someone lay down between Richard and I. My shirt got mashed into my body as if someone was laying next to me. Then my feet got ice cold very suddenly and my toes were getting turned back, not to hurt, just like playful. I tried to wake Richard so he could experience it, and finally he woke up with a hard elbow to his shoulder. It stopped right about there. We checked out, and the same fellow who was surly the day before was very nice and asked if we had experiences. (Advisory...bring your own TP.) read more

If you like taking cold showers, this is the place to stay! We stayed at the Copper Queen for two nights and had zero hot water from the shower or the sink. After we called down the first day, we were told they were having problems with their boiler, so the second day I guess we assumed that they resolved the problem, poor assumption on our part. The second morning the water was even colder than the first morning. When we checked out, we told the clerk that there was no hot water his reply was " yeah, we are working on it." No apologies. Stated that the people that got up earlier had used it all. Thing was, I got up and tried to shower at 5:00am. I guess, good on all the people that got up before me on a Sunday morning. There are better options in Bisbee. read more

Here's the breakdown: 5 stars - entrance and service - the downstairs and entryway ooze 1900's wild west. 2 stars - Saloon...sounds cool right? The bar is very 1900's throw back a shot of whiskey and slap the dust off type of spot but the husband and wife duo behind the bar reached a level of incompetence that shouldn't be allowed outside one's own kitchen. If there were fewer than a 1 star given; I would give it - since when should a margarita taste like nail polish?...never. 1 star - cheap mattress, cheap sheets - think paper thin and cheap bathroom - Super 8 luxury for $150 a night. 2 star - The Winchester. We had breakfast, think army canteen quality food. Eggs served with an ice cream scooper and cheap sausage. read more

Historical place. The pool is not heated and has a lot of deterioration on the floor. Not really kept that clean. But it has a friendly staff and fun vibe to it. The rooms have a charm. read more

Only & best place to stay in Bisbee!!! Started our anniversary weekend in another place just outside of Bisbee & both of us were bit by scorpions while sleeping. At 1:30am the staff at Copper Queen was kind enough to find us a room & get us ice for our bites. The service staff was friendly & carrying. The room had the look & charm of Bisbee & was comfortable & clean. Thank You Copper Queen for rescuing our anniversary weekend!!! read more

I have to say the communication at the front desk is not good. We booked this place because of the pool to be told after we are changed and ready to go that 1 there is a charge and 2 no kids allowed. If you knew at booking you were going to have an event that should have been relayed to the guest at booking or even at check in. read more

The Copper Queen Hotel is what remains of the ragged glory days of the discovery, mining, and exhaustion of a large copper deposit that sat under and around Bisbee, Arizona. Phelps Dodge Corporation owned everything above and beneath the ground here, and the Queen was where their officers and bankers, and desperadoes of all stripes conducted their business, before retiring to the Copper Queen Saloon in the salon grand room of the hotel, or mozied up Brewery Gulch for a night of debauchery, gambling and gun fights. Tombstone was a horseride away, and the likes of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday visited regularly in pursuit of the Wanted Dead or Alive. Walk up the steep streets behind the hotel, find the old Philadelphia Hotel and wonder what adventurous spirit made the overland trip by rail and stage to start this establishment. I have stayed here 4 nights over the past decade. Teddy Roosevelt and John Wayne preceded me in my very rooms. I Celebrated Thanksgiving in the restaurant, and it was memorable. So much of the Old West seeping out of the woodwork, it was easy to imagine our horses tied to the hitching post, and the barkeep pouring rotgut whiskey to the old timers. The rooms were not perfect. The AC or the heat was not always fully operational, and the water pressure often a wish and a prayer. Still, to spend a few nights with the ghosts of past Presidents and western heroes and villains, was an experience not to be missed. This, and the wonderfully curious Bisbee just outside the doors. read more

We stayed at the copper queen this last weekend for our anniversary . I have to say I have never had such bad service as the front desk and saloon was. The room was nice and roomy but not take care of.the cleaning people made our bed and that was it!!! The bathroom sink water didn't turn all the way off. We had no hot water in either of the shower or sink. The water in the shower barely came out. We were very disappointed in this hotel. I would not recommend this place. I have never left a review on yelp but I just want everyone to be were of this place. read more

Nice place to stay in Bisbee with a lot of history. Would give it five stars, but just can't get over the fact the dinning room still isn't opened back up. The hotel could be taken care of a little better as it isn't as well taken care of as it was a few years ago. read more

They have kept it real. If you know you're in a place that was once written off as a ghost town, you won't be disappointed in any aspect of the experience, from the authentic rooms to to the saloon full of colorful mining-town-turned-artist-commune types (with live music on weekends), to the sturdy-but effective restaurant. Generous cuts of prime rib cooked to order. And they provide real horseradish. The real stuff. The stuff that knocks you on your ass. Shudder. Nothing here is cheap, but you'll get your money's worth provided you are looking for an experience in an historic hotel/restaurant/bar. read more

They have a great Rueben sandwich which I have been getting for 15 years now (always good), but watch out for the beer trap. I sat at the bar one Sunday afternoon recently chatting with a local and a couple of very polite tourists from Illinois while I had a beer and my usual Rueben. Without advising me, the girl charged me $8 for the IPA. That's way too much and disingenuous. Watch out for the Copper Queen and Bisbee in general. The prices are high for a little place off the beaten track ("they" see themselves as a little NYC). I am a local, 45 miles west, and an ex-New Yorker happy to be free, but always in search of a beer at a reasonable price. read more

The food at the restaurant was awful. It was "Restaurant Impossible" bad actually. The pizza was an unholy disaster. My friend ordered the chicken parm (don't ask me why!) Wow was it bad. That said ... the service was great and it's a cool venue. The bar and front porch are most excellent ... this place really has a great bar. So ... 0 stars for food, 5 stars for the bar, and 5 stars for being a historic hotel. read more

I LOVE the Copper Queen Hotel and for the first time i went to the bar and had the worst experience of my life in hospitality. The bartender was a large female with blonde hair who we were super patient with (I've served for years and recently too, so i get it) while she was busy and she said "can you just be cool?" it was so jarring and unexpected because we were completely chill and encouraging of her trainee who was learning how to bartend. She freaked out on all of us when my friend asked for a certain kind of vodka and then freaked out on the trainee, turns back to us and says "can i just train my person?!" it was a truly a jarring experience. she then said in the snarkiest tone "are you like staying here orr?" Girl was looking for a fight. We went to a table, minded our own business, then they come over and kick us out. I thought I was dreaming. It was truly insane. We are the most amiable, easy to please group. Do NOT go to the Copper Queen bar and restaurant, but definitely stay in the historic hotel! read more

Totaly cool saloon bar. I can't speak for the Hotel rooms, although the building looks great from the outside... the Winchester restaurant also has a decent (if predictable) menu. Cheap drinks, great outdoor balcony for people watching and enjoying the night air, local beers on tap and a wicked entertaining bunch of locals every night. Highly recommended. read more

Room was small and clean, but has a stale smell. Elevator was broken. Parking during special events Is crazy. Plan on walking around town. Food at the restaurant was very nicely served and plated. Local fresh veggies were fantastic. read more

Valentine's Day dinner. It was the only place that was available for last minute dinner reservations. NO WONDER! The food was HORRIBLE. When the chicken marsala was served, it looked awful, so I took a 'test' bite and it WAS awful. About a shaker of salt on the serving, and pre-prepared sauce, possibly from a can or weird dry mix (?). Sent it back and ordered the something crusted salmon and told them not to put any salt on it. I took another test bite, also too salty AND disgusting tasting...weird flavor too! Absolutely the worst food ever. Don't waste your time or money eating at this dumpy restaurant. You can see by my other reviews that I'm not overly critical, so believe me when I say, "Don't bother eating at this place." If I could, I'd give this a "no star" rating. read more

We walked into the restaurant at 10:29. They stop serving breakfast at 10:30. The refused us service. I feel that is poor customer service on their part. The hotel itself is nice and the staff for the front desk are helpful. read more

My wife and I had a ball there, and yes our room 214 had a "guest" along with us, the only thing was they didn't pay their share of the room. LOL. Joe who works there is great to every one. The one thing that was hard on us is that we had to walk up to the second floor and as two elderly and handicapp this was not to easy. Joe did help us and that was so nice. My wife and I had dinner which is so good there, and also breakfast there. At breakfast my wife keeps the napkin under her chin so not to get her top dirty. Well the napkin dissapared from her neck. No lie, it really did happen.. Great food and good help from the desk. Oh! Ask for the sign in books from others who had "guest". Will we go back? For sure!! read more

Bar area with outdoor seating and good service. Terrible band What more could you ask for in Bisbee, AZ?? read more

This review is for the restaurant, and specifically for lunch. To start, sit out on lthe porch if you can get a table there, although it may be a bit sunny, because the view is quite interesting -- a tree-lined square, parts of old Bisbee, mountains in the background. The inside is like the rest of the hotel, being very old time elegant with dark woods everywhere. I can only review one menu item because my wife and I both had it, but it was very very good -- the turkey asiago sandwich. They use thickly-sliced roasted turkey breast, not the usual deli. And the asiago cheese melted on top was a great touch. The menu is not very extensive, but other plates we saw looked pretty good too. Downtown Bisbee's restaurants are surprising lacking in local flavor, except for the Copper Queen, so as a tourist, this is probably your best bet. read more

This place wins the award hands down for grossness. It is filthy, run down, disheveled and in a sorry state. The food is awful, the rooms are dirty and uncomfortable, the beds sag. It's next to impossible to regulate the temperature in the rooms and if you enjoy banging your head against the wall, by all means stay on the 4th floor where there will undoubtedly be plenty of opportunities to crash into the eves. At best, the showers can be classified as pathetic because not only are they dirty and dangerous but you can barely get enough water out of them to rinse the soap off. This was our second visit to the hotel and it has not improved since our first visit. From my understanding, the owners having purchased the hotel over 9 years ago are not present to run the property and it shows. Do yourself a favor and stay at the Eldorado. read more

Who can resist the allure of lodging at an allegedly haunted 100+ year old hotel? Bisbee Arizona was not always a sleepy little town at one point it was the largest city between St. Louis and San Francisco and full of desperate miners trying to strike it rich. While the Copper Queen has seen extensive remodeling to make the rooms larger and eliminate the shared bathrooms. The early 1900s wood work, antiques, and stone fireplaces all serve to maintain a classic and somewhat majestic feel. The rooms are quite nice, we stayed in the John Wayne suite, which is named after it's famous previous patron (he stayed in the room every time while filming numerous movies in the area), the room included a large selection of DVDs (westerns and military films) featuring the aforementioned actor as well. The Queen has a small saloon on the first floor which seemed like the perfect watering hole after a long day of tooling around the tourist traps. Winchester's Restaurant is also located on the first floor and while I found the menu to be pleasing and the food to be enjoyable it was not consistent and the service left much to be desired. The hotel has literature detailing the numerous ghost stories and reported hauntings which have taken place within it's walls and at least one TV show has filmed paranormal events inside the Queen (search YouTube for Copper Queen to see the Ghost Hunters).

Good beer. Food nothing special probably frozen, just come for beer and a great patio view. We just love the town and buildings.

I had made reservations to stay at this hotel back in January 2019 for a one night stay today (3/16) as part of a car club group that booked reservations. When we showed up to check in we were told that we did not have a reservation, upon checking further the clerk said our reservation was cancelled! This was a big mistake because I called twice to ask for an email to confirm my reservation. To say the least, we were very disappointed that we did not have a room at the hotel with the rest of our group and drove back home to Phoenix for the night. If you plan on staying at this hotel make sure you have a printed confirmation for your stay! read more

Too bad that our experience at this great historical landmark was ruined by their bad service. We had a confirmed reservation, but when we arrived were told that their computer had made a mistake and there was no room for us. When I asked for their help in finding a place to stay, and that I expected them to pay for the mistake, I was rudely told, "We don't do that, here is a map, good luck." When I asked to speak the manager, "Chris" told me that I would have to come back the next day. Needless to say, we are never coming back. read more

Didn't stay at the hotel. Went To the bar upstairs for a late night drink. Looks like a cool dive bar and good music. However, the bartender has an attitude and rude. Totally killed my mood. She was unfriendly, bad listener, impatient, and complained about another customer to us and other customers at the bar. I think that customer did not even walk out the door fully yet either. I saw the beers on tap and asked about the type of beers they were, etc. Even mentioned the type of beer I generally like. She seemed a bit flustered and wanted us to choose one to ask about. So I asked about Dave's Electric. Bartender told my girl friend and I that it tasted good and all of a sudden poured two glasses and charged us. We couldn't see over the counter and thought she was either pouring a beer for other customers around the bar or a sample glass. We were still discussing and looking at the other beers. This was the very first time that this happened. Very awkward WTF moment. One of the moments where you are debating, "Do I tell her I did not order this and send it back or just pay and forget about it". Seeing as how this is a small town, we decided to not complain and take the beer. I was hoping to understand the type of beers on tap, which every bartender has done up until this day. The Bisbee Brewery certainly describes the beer before pouring it for customers. Even provides samples. I wanted to try several beers, but it left me with a sour taste in my mouth. Horrible vibe. Went outside to sit in the patio area to forget about it, but I could not. The beer was good, but I definitely did not want to shell out more money here. The Bisbee Brewery definitely is more friendlier. First time encountering a person that was not so nice in this town. ***Too bad I can not rate the restaurant/bar separate from the hotel*** read more

We stayed in this hotel 1 night, and all we did was sleep after a long day of hiking and shopping around old antique stores in bisbee. After we left, we realized I left my black Patagonia puffy jacket in the room. We tried calling over a dozen times with no response. When we finly were able to contact them they said the house keeping said they found it but that they were charging us $250 for trashing the room. They said it was trashed and it smelled of cigarettes. Neither of us smoke?? There is no possible way the room was trashed, all we did was sleep, unless they count an unmade bed as trashed? We int even use the shower? I don't know what kind of scam this hotel is running, but I highly recommend you stay at the Bisbee Grand Hotel instead. It's beautiful and well run, unlike this tourist trap. I told the lady we didn't smoke and she literally laughed us.....they also found a shirt in the room that isn't even ours. I never leave bad reviews, so do with that what you will. read more

Hotel built in 1902. Maintains same rustic charm. Room. Was clean, bright, but not the same thing you will find at the Hilton - and it shouldn't be! Bed was comfortable, bathroom bright - but, again, maintained in the he same style as the early 1900's. Room has a TV - but it is small screen. No central air, but a window unit more than handles the job. Hotel staff is friendly, and patio seating in fronting for either the bar or restaurant is nice. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. Other reviews said there was a noise problem. We were on the 4th floor and didn't hear a thing. Found out ad we were leaving the hotel was totally booked for our stay. Walking distance to everything in old Bisbee. read more

Hotel was quint, but the restaurant food and service left alot to be desired. Would rather eat at McDonald's

If your staying in Bisbee then I would highly recommend the historic Copper Queen Hotel. The evening clerk who checked us in (Dominic) was very nice and helpful. The hotel itself is beautiful and is over 100 years old. The room was comfortable and clean and roomy. We had breakfast and dinner at the attached Winchester Restaurant. Breakfast was nothing out of the ordinary. They offer the usual fare. Dinner on the hand was excellent. I had the Rainbow trout almondine and my friend had the NY strip. I love well prepared trout and this was done to perfection. read more

We spent a wonderful weekend in Bisbee doing our Christmas shopping the weekend after Thanksgiving. We stopped by the Copper Queen and had a great lunch in the restaurant (food and service were fantastic - the wait staff had just completed serving a private lunch for 140 people and seemed tired but still served the public with impressive zeal afterwards). After lunch we waited for the desk clerk to finish his phone call to ask if we could view a room for a few minutes in preparation for our next Bisbee trip. After a few minutes he rudely asked if "there was something he could help us with" while covering the mouth piece. We politely requested a room key for a few moments to view a room and were instantly shot down and told he had a full house checking in that afternoon and wen't back to his phone call. Needless to say we will try the Copper Queen again but almost made up our minds right there never to stop in again. FWIW - A great book on Bisbee is "Going Back to Bisbee" by Richard Shelton telling the history of Bisbee and his experience there as a school teacher in the 1950's. Very well written and makes Bisbee come alive. read more

The restaurant... Less than 6 months ago (and for a couple of years prior) this place had THE BEST Prime Rib dinner in Southern Arizona AND for well under $20! Tonight was quite different... $25+ 8oz. Prime Rib (over 1/3 fat) warm beer, NO delicious crusty bread... Owners of restaurants, don't stop serving bread! It gives people something to do other than wondering, Hmm... Where's my beer? Where's my food? Did the waitress forget us? read more

Quite the Experience into the Past! And not the Spooky type, it all still made me Wonder! Resturant is Excellent with Great cuts of Beef, with Great Service! Absolute return, when ever back in that part of very interesting Country! read more

Not only does the Copper Queen Hotel have a fabulous restaurant, the 1902 Spirit Room and a great bar, but the employees take pride in giving 110 percent to the guests and visitors. The rooms are nicely decorated and comfortable, and the haunted history of the hotel adds a bit of mystique that that guests seem to enjoy. The post-Victorian look of the lobby, hallways, restaurant and bar are like an enjoyable trip back in time. The hotel is situated in the heart of Old Bisbee, just a short distance from the eclectic shops on Main and Subway Streets, and a short walk the other way to historic Brewery Gulch. A night or two at the Copper Queen is not just a pleasant stay but a very enjoyable experience. I highly recommend it. read more

Well Karen's Bloody Mary along with her wonderful hospitality is a must visit. Karen set the stage for our Bisbee trip with great information and wonderful hospitality!!

We visited the saloon in the afternoon on a Saturday after checking in to the hotel. The live music was going on at a level which was loud enough to groove to and still have conversation. Our food was perfectly prepared. I ordered the onion rings and they were fantastic. My first drink was well-made and not stingy with the alcohol. What made thw most impression on me was my second drink made by our bartender Karen, who seems more artist than drink server. It was a margarita, featuring hand-squeezed oranges, lemons and limes and a Gran Marnier float. It was spectacular and once again not stingy with the alcohol. Very impressed! read more
