You can buy a bottle and drink there or take home with you. Same with the beer. They also have wine and beer by the glass. The wine selection is small but decent. I have found a couple of gems. The store is small with a few seats inside. They also have seating outside the store, inside City Market. Great place to grab a drink or a bottle to go, when visiting downtown. Cash, card and Apple Pay accepted. YELP GRIPE. I get this place opened about a month ago, but still, why am I adding this business to Yelp? It's in a very high traffic area and should have already been listed on Yelp. I am glad Yelp gives us the option to add businesses, but it seems I have added more than my share of businesses to Yelp in 2024.

Really cool local spot. Very solid beer list. Service was great. I'd definitely be back.read more

The lady working that night was amazing. She knew all the regulars and even made us outsiders feel welcome and seen. She is a keeper and if I could transplant her to Oregon, I would! Hands down recommend this place for a beer and a spot to sit while you are walking around.

It's a huge space with a long bar and plenty of seats. The main area has tables and comfortable seating vignettes, they have a back area with more tables, and a small patio.

That said, I would recommend the beer, since this is a brewery. Service was fine. You go to the bar to order your drinks. The building is cool with several different types of seating available. At the time I was there, they did sell some prepackaged bar type snacks, but no other food available. Note, since this is in the historic downtown area, you will need to find street, lot or garage parking, if you are driving in.

We started walking around and my wonderful wife suggested Copper Penny. Absolutely! There was a short wait for a table, but we didn't mind. The inside is almost like we remember it. We did notice the menu is a lot smaller. The last time we dined here was around ten years ago. Definitely plenty of options. We went with the onion ring appetizer, Cobb salad, and the BBQ Burger. The atmosphere of Copper Penny is the same. Definitely missed this place. After a short wait our food was brought out. Everything was delicious. This is just an update, but we still love Copper Penny and will continue to return.

Only like 9 tables so plan accordingly or you will have to wait awhile. Go during off peak hours to ensure a short wait time. Now the food...... 1. Cheese Steak Egg Rolls served w/chipotle ranch......Amazing!!!! Best we have ever had. 2. 109 Chestnut Chicken Sandwich had an amazing balance of ingredients that would make your mouth water. Very good and the fries as well. 3. Hot Roasted Pork Sandwich was very bland and had an excessive amount of spinach. Even the Au Jus couldn't rescue this sandwich. 4. The famous onion rings. Well they must of ran out of seasoning because these were more flour than flavor. Very doughy with no spices. Not worth the $9 * The alcohol mix drinks are pretty good. Definitely taste the flavor of each. Will give you a good kick.

There was a whole pub crawl group when we went and it definitely got busy! Frozen drinks, THC drinks, beers, and cocktails for drinks. Ended up getting a guava wit 6 pack on the way out and it was great - sour, fruity, very drinkable. Lots of food options but we were told to get the garlic knots and we definitely needed those! The sausage and fennel pizza was delicious, I do wish the fennel had been a little more caramelized/charred. Pepperoni and basil came out fresh, they do let you customize a basic pizza if you don't want any of the specialty ones.

Not sure if that's the set up every weekend or if this particular night was an exception. There was a few corn hole boards for people to play on one side and the band was on the other side.

I do feel like they use quality ingredients and make everything by hand, but I've never had a pie that impressed me. In my last few visits I've gotten the caramel oatmeal cream pie, which I really like. It's chewy and not too sweet. A friend of mine loves their 'pop tart' style pastries, but I haven't tried one yet. Do NOT order coffee. We stopped in after dinner on a Saturday night and my husband ordered a coffee. It took several minutes, as a French press does, but I don't know what to call the drink he received. It was weak and there were grounds all in it. If I could make a suggestion, I would just switch to drip coffee. The pink French presses are cute but not worth the time. I'll keep trying it because I love dessert and I really want to find something that changes my mind!
