Wonderful place to go for a drink! Today I had their lychee mule and wow I could have drank 3 more! This had a strong lychee and rose flavor which is hard to do without being overpowering. I had their jalapeño and spinach artichoke dip which was great! Had a good kick to it but still very creamy. Would come back again. read more

Came here for Wagyu Wednesday after work and it wasn't too busy at around 6:00. I ordered the dragon fruit mule and it was sweet with a hint of ginger. It came with a slice of dried dragon fruit as a garnish. The burger was pretty hefty, two smash patties. I added lettuce, pickle, and onion for $1, worth it because the burger and cheese alone is pretty salty, so the other stuff balances it out a bit. The fries were nice and crispy and salty as well. Totally worth the price, I think. read more

The Copper Kettle is the perfect switch up on/near O street. It sets itself apart from nearby bars because of their specialization on Moscow Mules and through the ambiance of the spot. It's a much more chill and slightly more upscale spot to grab a drink than nearby bars. The mellow vibes are enhanced through the service keeping things very laid back and enjoyable. The mules are always great, I've tried a few different flavors and enjoy all of them. Their light snacks are also perfect for a happy hour or hold over before going somewhere else. read more

We had the carne asada nachos and two tacos each. The nachos were tremendous! The tacos were good too, and in total, plenty of food for the two of us. I also had a classic mule and it was very good too. Everyone raves about the specialty mules but the classic was on point. Prices were reasonable. Service was fine. My only real complaint is Nebraska volleyball was on (which doesn't bother me) but it was really loud... so, even though it was mostly empty, conversation was still really hard. Let me summarize it this way - it's either a college town cocktail bar grown up/classed up a little, or a classy cocktail bar given the college town treatment. Very nice, good food, good price, good service... Deserves to be 4 1/2 stars if that was an option. read more

So many mules! The paradox of choice had taken its grasp, but thankfully the bartender was quick with advice: "You can't go wrong with the Big Red." He was 100% correct! The copper mugs are hefty, the ice they use is popcorn-style & the ambiance is on point too. (Minus 1 star because they don't have grapefruit juice on hand.

The ambiance of old-school bar/lounge with soft pop/rock was welcoming. With only a couple tables occupied, it was open seating. I ordered a mule (you kind of have to) and received my Spiced Pear Mule in minutes. It was delicious! Being Wednesday night, I ordered the Waygu burger with crispy bacon and kettle sauce. It came out in a reasonable time, was well cooked with crispy bacon (that doesn't always happen even when you ask) along with a healthy portion of seasoned fries and kettle queso for dipping. I recommend and will be back. read more

Honestly, for what you get the quality is great. And we always try to support the small local businesses in our community. I've had a bunch of mules with friends and everyone has always been pleased. The food options are also pretty impressive even though the menu is rather limited. The weekly specials are a highlight and often executed extremely well. The disappointment is always the price compared to the quantity, quality or service. The mules are expensive, but you're at a mule bar so that should be expected. The portions of what you order is always on the small side. When fish and chips are the $12 special, you expect maybe more than 1 medium piece of fish? The service is just wonky, pleasant in person but often misses things in your order or just won't respond to direct messages on social media asking if they offer take out during the pandemic. Most of this wouldn't be a huge deal in isolation, but fixing them would definitely push this place from good to great. read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!! Don't go here!!! We were staying at an Airbnb (for my husband's birthday) near this restaurant and decided to give it a try since it had such great reviews... Absolutely regret it. We paid almost $70 for two burgers that were cooked RARE (not what we wanted), a soda, 12 wings (which were horrible and had none of the requested sauce/seasoning on them. They were naked) and some fries. The fries were the only part of the meal that were edible. Absolutely disappointed and I will never return. read more

Great place to try different Mule-style cocktails! I have been here twice now and have enjoyed every cocktail I have tried. You would think that requiring every cocktail to have ginger beer would stymie their creativity, but the Copper Kettle pulls it off. The cocktail prices are also quite reasonable for what you get.

The food here is top notch, the drinks are great, the huge menu of mules is unrivaled. I would recommend Copper Kettle as a restaurant very highly. However, we had them cater our wedding and that left quite a bit to be desired. They arrived 30 minutes late and while the food was really good, they ran out of food for our guests - which is troubling since fewer people stayed for dinner than we had accounted for. They did comp us $170 for the missed meals but it's a little embarrassing to run out of food for guests. We did really hit it off with Adam but communication was sparse throughout the process and made us feel a little uneasy through the planning. Love the restaurant, love the food, didn't love the catering. read more

The Copper Kettle is a more sophisticated, chill spot in the midst of 'O' St. and all the college bars. When I have visited, the crowd skewed mostly younger (35 and younger) the past few times I've been, but there are definitely a few outliers. The interior is trendy and contemporary with seating options to accommodate everything from two people to a large group (it seems like a group of 10-15 come in every time I am there). The part you want to know about: the mules! This is the most extensive mule menu I've ever seen (which makes sense as a mule bar). I've had the Classic, the Garden, the jalapeno mule, and a tropical/pineapple flavored mule (blanking on the name now). All of the mules were incredibly smooth with unique flavor notes. Beware: it seems these drinks are so carefully crafted and use such fine ingredients that it is very easy to slurp them down. They are refreshing, flavorful, and do not taste like alcohol. This has become a regular haunt for me. The only things I really hope for is that at some point they expand the space as the seating arrangements and layout of the bar are kind of strange. I don't know what was in this space before, but the layout reminds me of nice décor that's been thrown over what was an old Subway or something. Also, I hope they introduce a regular snack menu. I see on their Facebook they occasionally have food, but when I have been, that has not been the case. I would like to see some bar snacks regularly on the menu. EDIT: They've added a food menu! read more

Nice place to relax for a treat after a long week at work. You have to put a $40 deposit on the copper cup, but it is released after you close out your tab. A bit pricey, but the flavor is exceptional. They really take the craft seriously. One thing I would change is that the few occasions I have been in there, the music was extremely loud. I had to ask them to turn it down at one point (it was early evening on a weekend and there were no other patrons). The place could have a chill, low key vibe without the loud music. If I want to go deaf, I will go to the Bourbon. As for the mules, A+. read more

Chicken sandwich is a very thin piece of chicken. I think it has too much barbecue sauce. I do like the smoked Gouda on it. However, the sandwich was cold. It should be a hot sandwich and it would get a much higher rating if it were served hot. The french fries are a thick cut curly fry. They have great flavor and great crunch. It's nice to bite into a fry and feel the meat of the potato. The wait staff is kind and they all help each other. They take turns going up and singing. It could be a request or something they choose. Oddly enough, the four songs that we recommended they knew none. So we told them to pick some thing of their own liking. Overall, the food was much better than I anticipated. Out of five stars, I would give the wings five stars but the chicken sandwich would be a 3 1/2, because it was served cold and the chicken was thin and dry. The french fries were a five. Service was definitely a five. The staff is very friendly. This would be a fun place to visit with people from out of town. It is unique to the area and the food overall was worth going back for.

I was in Lincoln and craving a burger. Yelp steered me towards this awesome restaurant. It's a…read morefancy place, and not cheap. But you get what you pay for! I sat at the bar and had phenomenal service. I got the Aragon burger with a tallow fries, covered in bacon jam! I will have to say, this is one of the better burgers I've ever had in my life. It came out very hot, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The sauce is super yummy. But it's a grilled onions that really make it. The fries came out hot, crispy, and very tasty. This is a phenomenal restaurant with some very good food. Unless you're lucky you get a seat at the bar, I'm sure reservations are required.

Wow! Top notch food, vibes, service, everything! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone…read morein Lincoln or passing through Lincoln as a pit stop. My husband & I shared the oysters & baked Brie, I had a special mocktail & my husband a beer. I had the Gnocci & husband had the special for the night Prime Rib which he said was FANTASTIC! My Gnocci was great but I'd try something else next time, I kept seeing the burger and it looked 20/10! We finished off the night with the Apple pastry for dessert and oh my, it was so good! We showed up about 30 minutes early and they were able to squeeze us in! I would highly recommend reservations it is a very small venue!

Hubby getting a beer and me cocktail - orange melon sour. Drinks arrived promptly. Old school style restaurant. It has a salad bar. Hubby ordered a serving of the salad bar. Hubby says it's above average very fresh. He then ordered pizza and for me- the stuffed portobello mushroom Everything was fantastic. I annihilated my plate. Salad was fresh, paired w balsamic vinegar and some mandarins. The mushroom was as huge as a burger and it was sauteed with garlic and there was some sort of pesto applied on it before being stuffed with grilled chicken. It was topped with a slice of tomato and had cheese sprinkled on top of it. Every bite was succulent. Delicious!!! We will be back too. Also the apple pie has no sugar added. Definitely will be back. Good job!!!

The one single bite that actually had the half slice of pickled apple and the partial piece of under cooked bacon was actually tasty. The rest of the burger was just covered in the smoked honey mayo and that's it. Compare my pic to the one on the website!!! No where close in size or in what you are supposed to get. Come on!!!! I came because everyone suggested it and left just disappointed!!! Maybe it is cool that doesn't care tonight or is it the way it is every night?? Service was nice at the register. But that the only that was good, sorry

They couldn't answer questions we had about cocktail items. The garnish in my selected cocktail was so big, it could have adorned the front hall of a Barbie dream house at Christmas. We were approached at a point that bordered on harassment by the young, naive waiter--incessantly interrupting our conversation in one of the tiniest, intimate public lounges in NE. Awareness was severely lacking. The bathroom is now unspeakably stinky and dirty, reeking of urine. The tiny hand washing area is tattered and dirty, trash was spilling over the edge of the can. It's fast becoming a shell of its former self. What a sad thing. Perhaps the other room is owned by someone new?
