The Copper Shaker is easily a 10/10 vibe all the way around. If you're looking for a bite to eat or a few drinks, this is absolutely the place to go. I was in Tampa for work and stumbled upon this spot, and from the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely welcomed by the staff. The energy was warm and relaxed, the kind of place where you instantly feel at ease. I enjoyed it so much that I came back twice in one day. For food, I ordered the Steak and Holly, which was packed with flavor. After I had finished the steak, I mentioned to my colleague how much juice and seasoning was still left at the bottom of the bowl. Unbeknownst to me, the bartender overheard and came out with a bowl of rice so I could finish it all. That small, thoughtful gesture really stood out. Special shout-out to the bartender, Jesus--he really made the experience. I also tried several specialty cocktails--many made on the spot based on the flavors and alcohol I requested. The bartenders were attentive, creative, and clearly passionate about what they do. Later that evening, I came back for the "Sunday School" experience, and the vibe completely delivered. The ambiance screamed lounge-meets-speakeasy, and the space felt welcoming and inclusive. Have you ever been blessed by stumbling upon a gem while traveling? Because that's exactly what this was. A true Ybor find, and a place I'll absolutely return to next time I'm in Tampa. read more

Copper Shaker Ybor is an absolute vibe! The moody, cool ambiance create the perfect atmosphere for a night out. Whether you're looking for a stylized spot for photos or just a high-end environment to relax, this place nails the aesthetic. Major shoutout to Maze and Nate behind the bar. Their service was top-tier and they made the experience seamless. The highlight of the night,, was the cocktail menu and their drink recommendations. The amazing bar staff even let me get creative and sub some of their specialty cocktails with my favorite tequila-Dulce Oro. The drinks were perfectly balanced with a sophisticated flair. The smash burger and truffle waffle fries hit every time. The food is always juicy and flavorful. If you're in Ybor and want a spot that with a dark, chic ambiance with professional mixology, and high quality eats, this is it. I will definitely be back! read more

Best spot to get drinks in Ybor. If you can get a couch spot, it is also a great date spot. It can get loud in here, and I've been here lots of times when bachelorette parties, or wedding parties walk in. So the crowd can very greatly. The espresso martini here is standard and tastes exactly as it should. Here they call it a $16 The Grind. However, don't you dare sleep on the $17 Smokestack. The drink is legit and delicious. I've also had a $15 Old(er) Fashioned and it is also standard with the 1 giant clear ice cube. I take the trolley from downtown Tampa and get off in Ybor. This is also a good spot to travel from for your next destination. read more

Fantastic drinks and a great atmosphere. It can get a bit crowded so be patient for drinks. Pretty much always my first stop on a night out in downtown St. Pete. read more

Stopped by Cooper Shaker just for drinks, and they did not disappoint! I had an amazing espresso martini--smooth, bold, and perfectly balanced. We also grabbed some fries and a slider to snack on, and both hit the spot. Honestly, the ambiance is what stole the show. The space is dimly lit with cozy couches and great tunes playing at just the right volume--perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends without yelling over the music. We Ubered there! Just want to note it's located in Ybor, so parking can be a challenge, especially on busy weekends. Plan ahead if you're driving! Overall, a chill vibe, great drinks, and a cool spot to wind down. read more

This restaurant is beautifully decorated in Speakeasy fashion. The bartenders were friendly and made a good Negroni and Margarita. Hubby and I liked our smashburgers, but the REAL standouts were the Onion Rings. They were tempura-battered and seasoned to perfection. The onion didn't slide out of the batter after one bite like so many other onion rings. I will definitely return when I'm back in Ybor City. read more

We met up here with friends for drinks on a Friday night. We got in at around 9:30pm and found everyone crowded around the bar as all of the tables were "reserved" via signage for those dining, although there were probably only 2-3 tables still having dinner. The bar itslef was very modern and sleek. We ordered two cocktails - The Bee Sneeze and Fall Forward. Both were very good and beautiful, but on the pricier side. It was challenging to find somewhere to enjoy the cocktails with no tables available for those only having drinks. Around 10:15ish, they did come around to clear the signage from the tables. Next time, we will come in later for a more comfortable experience. read more

Friendly and quick attentive bar staff when I was there on at prime time Friday night. Extensive list of craft cocktails $15-$17 They had a DJ playing mixed house, pop and classic rock hits that was very good, and didnt play too loud to where you could not hold a conversation with a group. A few couches creating a lounge vibe, in addition to the primary restaurant seating area. A great place for dinner cocktails or to start your night out in Ybor! read more

This is a tried and true nighttime hangout. The bartenders know what they're doing with the drinks and that's their saving grace. I rarely go anywhere for drinks without being interested in food and unfortunately their food is not very flavorful. So usually what I do is stop at a nearby eatery first and close the night at copper shaker. It can get pretty packed in there so on weekends and certain holidays don't wait til the last minute to go. read more

This is such a classy joint. In a classy neighborhood. Ybor is like stepping back in time with lots of beautifully restored red brick buildings. Stepping into The Copper Shaker is also a step back in time with a sumptuously designed interior. You know you're in a great cocktail bar when theres a ladder behind the bar! The selection of spirits is top drawer and in every category there's something for everyone, and at every price point. The cocktails are fantastic and take pride of place on a chalkboard on the back bar. I didn't get to eat anything while there but everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. read more

Copper Shaker in Ybor City is hands down one of my favorite spots for both food and drinks. It has a more grown-up, elevated vibe compared to a lot of the other places in the area, which makes it perfect for a night out when you still want energy and fun--but with great service and top-tier food. The menu changes seasonally, both for food and drinks, so there's always something new to try. That said, the truffle fries are a staple and always a must--they're perfectly crispy, loaded with flavor, and totally addictive. Even when it's packed, the staff handles it like pros--always friendly, fast, and on point. The ambience is great any night, but on evenings when they have live music, it's next level. If you're looking for a more refined Ybor experience without losing the charm, Copper Shaker is the move. read more

The ambiance was vibes as usual, and the food was great as always, but the service was garbage. Jesus was the only nice one and eh was a bar back. We went out to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and normally bartenders give shots just because When we asked one of the bar tenders, he said I didn't know it was his birthday you didn't tell me. I said well we told one of the bartenders and they said happy birthday. He said well I didn't know, then he turned around and gave the people next to us shots. How rude! What happened to hospitality!? This was literally our second time here and now we're not coming back because of bad service. read more

Last Saturday, my friends and I went to Copper Shaker, a gem and must-visit bar bar in Ybor City. Our server was very knowledgeable and suggested cocktails for all three of us as we had different tastes. Her recommendations were exceptional, and we all enjoyed our drinks. We had the charcuterie board, which I can't recommend enough. There was a caramelized onion cheese on the board that was extremely delicious. The Truffle fries were amazing as well. We only had appetizers and drinks, and we were pleased with everything. The DJ kept us moving with a great selection of songs. BTW, no worries about parking. Although there's a parking lot across the street, I conveniently parked at the garage on 5th St for 10 boxes. I can't wait to go back. read more

Really cool atmosphere and ambiance! It reminds me a lot of great Gatsby vibes! Went on a Friday around 6pm with 5 friends. There was a 1.5 hour wait for a table so I would reccomend booking a reservation if you want to sit! Or if you have a large group. They do have a very large indoor bar that we were able to find a couple of bar stools at! For the service, it was very busy and there were only 4 bartenders making drinks for the entire place. It did take over 20 minutes for us to finally get a drink. I think for weekends more staff is needed in order to be able to serve the amount of people the restaurant can hold. We ordered Aperol Spritz and a cheese board. Overall both were great! They have live music and a little dance area as well! read more

Really loved the experience here. The ambiance is absolutely phenomenal for a date. Dim lighting, modern sophisticated decor, great mood. Took a while to even be greeted. Had to walk up to the bar to ask about it. Once greeted and seated, the service was great. This night, the DJ was playing a delectable selection of 90s Hip-Hop and R&B. Great touch. The drink I had, the Old(er) Fashioned was excellent. I got the smoked version and it was worth it, I think. My date and I got a charcuterie board to share. Every ingredient on the hoard was phenomenal. Fresh, good quality ingredients. That spicy mustard? I need it by the gallon. Didn't take any photos, as I was on a date and didn't wanna be THAT guy (lol), but next time I go I'll definitely grab some shots. read more

Bar is a standing room if you are grabbing just drinks. You need to make reservations in advance to sit down as all the tables are reserved. The bartenders were nice, drinks were average in price. I got the rosemary and gin and it was delicious. The music was a bit too loud so it was more of a bar feeling than lounging. read more

I bought a cocktail and they wouldn't serve two waters to my friends. I don't think I've ever had worse service.

Great bar! Great food! I visited Copper Shaker for double date night on a Saturday night. We made reservations well in advance. I recommend asking for a table away from the stage unless you don't want to hear your group. The drink menu is really good, exactly what you would expect from a jazz bar. The food menu is short but everything I've tried was excellent. Service is good but those reservations are going to be required. I definitely recommend a dinner date night out here. Ambiance!! read more

Super cute vibey environment. I asked the mixologist to make me a drink, whatever he felt like and it was absolutely delicious!

Was there during gasparilla. Great food and excellent drinks and attentive service. Will return for sure!!

Stopped by here for light bites and a couple shots. Our food came out hot and fresh. The Copper Chicken was fairly good. More batter than chicken and the peanut sauce was a nice twist. The French Beignets were more like jelly filled donuts. It was still a nice sweet treat to have. Service was great. They had a dj who was playing a lot of throwbacks from the early 2000's. Would love to visit again and try their entrees. Seems like a nice vibe with a group of friends to throw back some drinks and eat good food. read more

Cocktail place Stopped in for a drink/snack on a Sunday afternoon. Bar and decor is fantastic, small place so I am sure it gets very busy. All the booze shakers are copper :-) The drink menu is interesting and unique, I stood along the whiskey-bourbon side and hubs took on the tequila. Not a bad drink to be had. Love the drink decor and mixologist. Tried the fondue/cheese platter- beer cheese fondue (amazing) and pimento cheese dip (sweetness and served cold, both of which was an undesirable cheese dip) pork cracklings, pretzel nuggets and other dippers. A great snack, albeit huge! Overall 5* read more

Back again and again it was amazing! From the wings to the Copper Chicken, street corn tostada to the kabobs, nothing disappointed. And that Broken Spanish cocktail....still the best drink ever! Visited on Saturday night with reservations for 10. We were seated immediately and immediately our server was attending to our requests. Server was fantastic(petite pregnant girl, sorry I can't remember her name). Entire staff seemed to care about our experience. Live music was a bit louder than last time so difficult to chat at times, but nice to have live music so no complaints. I still recommend this place as often as I can.

This was an unexpected gem in the middle of Ybor City. To be honest, late night Ybor City isn't exactly my vibe, but we wandered into this place and I was pleasantly surprised at how perfect this place was! The cocktails were truly exceptional and watching them being made was a show in itself. Even though it was pretty crowded, we were able to get service at the bar quickly. Our bartender was very helpful and friendly. I very much enjoyed my time here and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who values an expertly made cocktail! read more

We heard it from the corner. The smooth sound of jazz swing. As we entered the Copper it was a recapturing of a long a go era, a experience and atmosphere of the 1920s. This large and, glamorous place in historic downtown Ybor City is full of deluxe character and charm. Design details start from entrance to the bathrooms. If you're hungry they also offers assortment of fare. Embrace your inner flapper and join in on the fun with dancing and specialty drinks. This is where you can order a cocktail and party like it's 1924. read more
