Stopped into Copper on a Friday evening and grabbed seats at the bar before heading down to Yellowstone the next day. The food and drinks were excellent, but the highlight of the night was Trent. We were looking for recommendations on things to do in the area, and Trent absolutely delivered. Scenic drives, sightseeing spots, Yellowstone stops, local attractions--you name it, he had a recommendation for it. The suggestions were coming faster than we could write them down, and every time we thought he was done, he'd remember three more places we needed to see. His food and cocktail recommendations were spot on, and he was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. As an added bonus, his voice carries exceptionally well, so hearing all of those recommendations was never an issue, even on a busy Friday night. Copper is a great spot, but Trent is what made the experience memorable. If you find yourself sitting at his bar, settle in--you'll leave with a great meal, a great drink, and a much longer list of places to visit than you arrived with. read more

Located downstairs from the main street - seating in the bar area seems much cozier than the main dining room. Food and service was pretty average - we like to order an adult beverage before dinner and peruse the menu. We were told the bar was backed up so we should get our food order in. So, not a take-your-time kinda place. Not rude, but not chill. Shared a 1/2 portion wedge salad @ $12 - perfect for two and tasty. Main entrees were a bit disappointing: 8 oz Tenderloin Filet @ $54 was cooked a bit more than requested and it came with (2) baked potatoes which we've never seen before (+ $4 upcharge). The Pan Seared Trout @ $34 was prepared nicely but there is not any flavor; served w/ a Blackberry BBQ but very sparingly. Super bland. Would come back to visit the bar - would consider ordering a burger, but wouldn't return for the main entrees. read more

The four (five with baby) of us came on a Sat night around 6:30 PM and was surprised to get a table right away (for some reason, it appeared to be a slow night). The place is "underground" so to speak - so it had a very attractive setting for dinner. The bar area is HUGE. Great selection of local MT brews which is always a plus in my book. My daughter ordered the Cooper Burger ($19), SIL ordered the Bison Ragu ($29), my bride ordered Brussel Sprouts ($16) and I ordered the Pan Seared Trout ($29). Everyone was very pleased with their selections. I personally loved the trout - it's seasoning and was cooked to perfection...along with the broccolini and sweet potato hash it was a great choice. Service was super friendly from Kendra. We recommend and would definitely come back again! read more

This was our first stop after we landed in Bozeman - right as they opened. We sat at the bar and our bartender gave us lots of recommendations with the menu and other local spots. My husband had the bison meatloaf which was honestly the best meatloaf either of us have ever had! We had the fried pickles for an appetizer and WHOA! Those sweet garlic pickles were sooo good! We actually got lucky and met the owner of the pickles place at the Big Sky Farmers Market! A must visit! Great vibes & great food! read more

We had a celebratory meal for MSU graduation here and we regretted it being our first time. This was my favorite restaurant I've been to in Bozeman in the last four years spent visiting. Such a classic, yet creative menu that made for such a fun experience. They have an amazing happy hour deal on drinks and appetizers - stop in next time and get a taste of what they're up to! read more

AWESOME happy hour on Main Street Bozeman, MT you don't want to miss. The Huckleberry Martini was fantastic with a nice taste profile from the adding rosemary & lemon. You won't regret it! My favorite app we ordered were the pretzel bites with the jalapeno beer cheese. Truly excellent! Tried the fried pickles, tomato burrata, pork belly tacos, and truffle fries. Copper fry sauce that came with the fries was perfect. Very happy with the HH and would love to try dinner next time I'm back! read more

This Downtown Bozeman spot checks all the boxes for a 5-Star Experience. From the speakeasy vibe when you walk in, to the service, and the food, this spot is a must if you're in Bozeman. We wanted a spot to go grab a good steak and celebrate while in town. Copper was one of the first places to pop up in suggestions. We walked in and they had a booth that lined up perfectly so I could still watch Monday Night Football while also enjoying my meal. I got the NY Strip with mashed potatoes and veggies. The steak was cooked perfectly. I am a medium kind of guy when it comes to steak and was very happy with it. It had mushrooms, onions, and butter on top to give it even more flavor. The potatoes were amazing too. Definitely had that homemade feel. We also got the cornbread and brussel sprouts for apps which were both really good. Probably one of the best cornbreads I have ever had in my life. We finished up the meal with their hibiscus cheesecake tart. It was small but after a huge meal, it was just the right size. Very rich in flavor and the perfect way to end the experience. This is a phenomenal spot if you're downtown and I will definitely be back during my next trip. read more

I was in Bozeman for work and Copper Whiskey came highly recommended. Our server recommended the Huckleberry Spiced Margarita (delish) and flash fried Brussels with fig and crème fraiche. For dinner I had the special which was short ribs with a huckleberry sauce, served with potatoes and broccolini. The short ribs literally fell off the bone and the steak knife wasn't needed. Highly recommended. The basement/speakeasy vibe was cool and several locals were dining beside me (good sign!). If you are headed to Big Sky country definitely put Copper Whiskey on your restaurant list. (There are many excellent options!) read more

This whole experience was great. We went with the two of us and were told 40 minutes or grab seats at the bar, luckily there were two open. We had quick service. My husband ordered the Brussel sprouts appetizer and then the meatloaf. I got the ragu. Both were so good. We had great service and fantastic food. Bar service was a little bit slow but didn't take away from the experience. read more

Fantastic service, top notch aesthetic. The vibes in this place are sick as hell. Most importantly, the food was crazy good. I got the Bison Meatloaf, and it was the best meatloaf I've ever had. The mustard Demi glaze was flavorful and brought out the best in the meat. The potatoes and green beans were great too. Zero bad notes, guys. Really happy with this visit. I'll be returning. read more

Service was good if not especially friendly. Hubby ordered a smoked maple old fashioned ($19). It was fine. I had a canned cider ($6). We ordered salads ($2 up charge each as they were a sub for grilled vegetables). Not nearly enough dressing for such a large salad and I never drown mine in dressing. Hubby asked for more, I did not. They were very fresh and very large. We ordered 16 oz. Ribeyes medium and they were cooked correctly. Baked potatoes are a $2 up charge. We went with the mashed potatoes at no extra charge. Even though the potatoes and steak were delicious, everything was too salty. Just too much. Hubby loves salt and he agreed. Still, we ate them and did not complain as they somehow still managed to be delicious. Each of our 16 oz. Steaks ($60 each) were 4 ounces of fat, which seemed like a bit much to us. We love ribeyes know ribeyes contain fat but this seemed excessive. We were charged for using our card which is pretty standard nowadays. Total for meal, including just over 20% tip, was $180. Picture is of the fat from the steak with the small amount of gristle. read more

SO FREAKING GOOD! I came across Copper while walking around Bozeman and decided to try it out for their happy hour (3-5pm). It's a dimly lit, underground space with a huge whiskey selection. Their happy hour pricing on drinks were great ($5 house wine, $5+ beer, $5 select cocktails, etc.). The bartenders were great and kept us well taken care of! After a couple of drinks, I decided to get food. I ordered the Steelhead Trout which is bbq crusted and comes with smoked gouda creamed corn and broccolini. This was by far the best meal I had on my vacation. The only disappointment was that wasn't hungry enough to order more food. read more

The service was great and so was the food. We love a quiet atmosphere and this has it. Our server was very nice and attentive and the food was top notch. Pricing is just okay but it's no more expensive than most. Tip: The fried pickles are the best I've had. I had a medium rare ribeye and it was cooked to perfection and tender. The flavor was maybe not the best I've ever had but better than most. read more

Got in at opening. Quite possibly the best tasting burger of my life. Very rich beef taste. Prices as expected. Service above average. Accommodated dietary needs. Beautiful decor. There is an elevator if you can't do stairs. It's a little hidden though. read more

We arrived via Uber; we had never been. The driver did not know the place as he dropped us in the alley behind it - not their fault. The back staircase is not amputee friendly - pro tip, there is an elevator up front. We arrived around 5:30pm on a Tuesday. It was pretty much empty, but when we arrived at the host stand, we were greeted with 'thanks for coming'. "No, we came in the back door". 'Oh. Do you have a reservation?' Not having a reservation seemed troublesome. We were seated at a high-top table in an empty bar area right next to the host stand- definitely seemed to be a 'that will teach you' moment. The high-top chairs are uncomfortable at best. Get a table or booth if you are even slightly hesitant. The bar area is nice, but without many people a bit cold. The menu reads well, my wife and I chose draft beers, and she ordered the chicken burnt ends and I asked for the 8oz Tenderloin medium rare with the loaded baked potato. At this point, we noticed the server was less pleasant than the host. The dead buffalo on the wall had way more charm. She barely spoke. Before our food even came we both realized we were immersed in a very negative vibe. My wife's dinner was good, she loved it. My steak was good (3/5 for tenderloin). The potato was dry, pithy and gritty, very unappealing. The French green beans were ok, but had a bitter aftertaste from bite to bite and I didn't finish them or the potato. 2 people 4 drafts ~130 with tip. Sorry to say I would not give it a second chance. read more

One of my go to restaurants in Bozeman. My daughter is at MSU and Copper is a given for a steak. Friendly staff and casual atmosphere. I much prefer the vibe vs. Open Range and honestly in my experience the food is better of course at a much lower price point. I like to sit at the high tops in the bar area. Highly recommend! read more

Good food. Great whisky selection. Our female server was abrupt and rude. The server brought the check before I was even finished! What if I wanted another drink? Would still go if in Bozeman. Probably a one off. read more

This place has an amazing speakeasy vibe. They serve amazing food anf drinks but having Guinness on tap made them my new hangout in Bozeman!

My son and I made a run over to Belgrade to pick up some stuff and decided to try a new place for late lunch in Bozeman. We were seated promptly, managed to get there at happy hour so we got to try some discounted drinks. The "worlds best whiskey coke" is most assuredly not the worlds best. It tastes like soap. Having said that the other drinks we tried were delicious. We both had steak frites which I would 100% recommend any day of the week. Our service was amazing and the ambiance of this place is so cool. It's downstairs from the Asian restaurant so you have to use the upper restaurant door and go downstairs in orders to find the bar and grill. It has a bit of a speakeasy vibe to it and it's super cool. read more

We stopped in for a light snack and a cold beer - our bartender was very helpful at making selections - we had an ale from a local brewery MAP - very good. We tried the fried pickles which were DELICIOUS!!! Tempura batter and pickles were more like bread and butter flavor - can't wait to come back !!! Ooooo the dipping sauce was AMAZING!!!! read more

There's more alcohol in a high noon than their $15 cocktails. They're literally 1-2 oz of flavored water. Extremely over priced, under flavored, spot on Main Street. read more

We had a wonderful New Year's dinner at Copper Whiskey in Bozeman, located right in downtown. The food was amazing and the drinks were just as impressive. Such a great spot--we highly recommend stopping by Copper Whiskey if you're in the area! read more

I hate leaving bad reviews! But this one is worth it. We went because of the reviews and the waitress was very nice until my order of a medium done filet mignon came out rare to raw in the middle and I asked if they could take it back to hopefully cook it to a prepared medium. I would hope they would make it a standard to know their meat preparations when charging $50-$65 a cut. The waitress came out and said "I am sorry it wasn't prepared to your liking" super loud like so everyone around us could hear (so strange). And then was rude and dismissive from there on out! When the plate came back the filet was chared on the outside, like really chared and at the most medium rare and the baked potato was cold and 1/2 the beans when I had even touched them. We will not be going back. We understand that meats sometimes are not prepared correctly and had no problem sending it back but then take that and then the rudeness of the waitress and the look of the plate when it returned is absolutely unacceptable! read more

Copper Whiskey Bar & Grill - As a guide my cut came out rare to blue - Steakhouses Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Very difficult to find a parking spot!!!!!!! Nice atmosphere. Friendly hostess. Waitress was slow to rake order.. The water was HORRIBLE and taste like vinyl pool water. Highly recommend they add a water purifier. Food was ok. Cornbread was extremely sweet with sugar on top. I wouldn't have ordered if that would have been described accurately. Steaks were ok. My well done came out on the rare side. Potatoes were VERY sweet, the green beans were very good. Drink specials were so-so. We tried 4, 2 were good, 2 were not. I wouldn't go again but it was good for a 1 time experience. read more

Our server was excellent. His only flaw was that he should have told us in advance that the restaurant charges if you pay via credit card. (And shame on them for doing that!!! The meals are plenty expensive to enable the restaurant to eat those costs.) My filet mignon was tasty and prepared well. The mashed potatoes were thick and could have been made better. My partner loved his bison ragout meal. The restaurant has a nice mellow vibe to it, but is likely to be ultra busy during peak hours. Reservations would be smart, although we didn't need one for our 4:30pm meal. read more

Came in on a Sunday night and no reservations needed (and all day happy hour). We sat at the bar and could watch the bartenders make drinks. It is a Whiskey bar so the whiskey selection is extensive but I went with a Oaxaca old fashioned. Service is friendly, prompt, and the order food came out made sense. For ordering we got: Brussel Sprouts- perfectly crispy and a delicious balsamic/goat cheese sauce on top Bison Short Ribs- melt in your mouth meat piled high with cartelized onions-delish! Bison Meatloaf- flavorful and nicely paired with mashed potatoes and broccolini Overall, solid spot for dinner and drinks and we enjoyed our entire dinner experience here. They were out of the Chef's popovers so I'll have to come back to try those! read more

Great atmosphere and excellent food. Service with a smile! My ribeye was cooked perfectly and baked potato was a great size.

Had a reservation and were seated immediately. The seating was a bit wonky for our group of 6 - two round tables in the corner of the bar area. It worked, but wasn't great. The food and the service, however, were excellent. Steaks, burgers, seafood, and starters were all excellent. The cocktails were very good as well. I highly recommend the Old Fashioned. It was very nice. We'll be coming back next time we're in Bozeman. read more

Four of us went for an early dinner. Three had steaks. The feedback from my guests was that they loved their steaks and the service. They have an extensive whiskey menu which we did not try. The restaurant has a very nice feel/vibe. Based on our experience, we would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Hole in the wall. Classic Montana restaurant. Huge whiskey list. What I recommend: - bison meatloaf - really good, although I feel like they could have jazzed but the dish more, the meatloaf was good - bison short rib - my friend got this and loved it. I had a bite and it was really good. Waitress said it's the top menu item. - Brussels sprouts - very crispy with a nice sauce on top - popovers - MUST GET trust me. 4/5 - try this spot out if going out with friends! read more

Best steak in Bozeman from an avid traveler. Cool place for a drink. Excellent service

Food was very good, service and ambience need work. First time visit for our party of 4. Made a reservation for 6pm dinner last night and were disappointed to be seated right down the middle aisle even though there were booths available. It was loud and of course people were constantly walking around us because we were in the main walkway. Simple things like the tables are too close and the two they pushed together to make a four top were uneven so we could not share appetizers in the middle. Service started well but all but disappeared after we put in our food order. Had to wait a while and ask for drink refills. We all had steaks. They were very good so cudos to the chef. Waited about 20 minutes after dessert for the check. It was dropped off but after another 20 minutes our server never returned so we found exact change and got up and left. For $325 we expected a better effort. Regretting the 20% tip now! read more
