Had such a fun night at Copperhead Club! I went on karaoke night and the energy was great and such a good crowd and vibe. The space is huge, which made it feel lively without being cramped, and the decor is super interesting and adds a lot of character to the place. Drinks were solid too, exactly what you want while hyping yourself up for karaoke. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a fun night out! read more

Okay. Never even knew about this place. But ya, this is a cool bar. It's like dark inside like something you'd see in a shady movie. And then the patio outside has a large covered area. And an open area, and it just feels like Austin. (IYKYK) So the bar is pretty large. And there's a U shaped couch seating with tables along the walls. Of course bar seating around the bar too. When I arrived around 7pm, they were still doing happy hour. I ordered a frozen Shirley Temple with vodka, and wow! Was that good. It's just in a machine they pour and top it with a cherry. Everyone saw my drink, and the whole group ran in to get one too. It was $4.00! Delicious drink. I would totally fight SXSW traffic on a Friday night for that drink again. Bartender was outstanding. We chatted for a few seconds. And when I gave him my card to open a tab, he laughed. My credit card looks like a blockbuster card. So we talked about the good Ol' days of Blockbuster. Inside and out, the bar was awesome. Had a great night. Was nice to see everyone come out and mingle and catch up. Parking is a little tight, and the parking lot is like a bowl. You are basically parking on a hill all around. I parked over by the businesses and walked over. read more

The Copperhead Club - Frozen Shirley Temple. - Dive Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Stopped by The Copperhead Club on East Riverside for the Davey Jones takeover, and it was such a fun, high-energy night. The whole place had that packed, buzzy feel where you can tell something special is happening. The vibe leans a little divey in the best way, with a solid crowd and great music that keeps things moving. There was also karaoke going on, which added another layer of chaos and fun to the night. It's the kind of spot that feels unpretentious and easy to drop into, whether you're there for a specific event or just along for the ride. The takeover definitely brought a lively, dancey energy that made it a memorable night. read more

The Copperhead Club - Sippin that runner rummy - Dive Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is a divey dive bar, and a cool place to have a drink and listen to some perfectly bad karaoke. To be fair, eventually a younger crowd came over from the Emo's show and a couple singers were in the house. For me, karaoke is supposed to be bad, so I'm good either way. Drinks were pretty good. Right now they have a themed takeover which was fun! There are pool tables inside. Some rowdy guys came in and took pool way too seriously. I'm guessing they were regulars because they seemed to know the staff. I guess I could have moved away from them and their behavior but it was late so I took off instead. The outdoor area between The Copperhead and The Jackelope looked like a fun place to hang out. A basketball game from the arcade and some other backyard games. Turf so you're not eating dust all night. If it had been warmer outside, then I would have played out there some. read more

The Copperhead Club - Tiki takeover - Dive Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is probably a pretty good place. But on the day this review was written, 10/16/2025, I encountered one bartender who was hostile, nasty, and doing his best to make me leave. I most certainly did leave - so he got his wish. The rest of the bartending team seems to be decent - So I think the problem is just this one guy. * * * I show up at the bar - to find one bartender making an absolutely superlative looking complex libation in a punchbowl large enough for a table. His mixmastering looked superlative. So I wanted an individual sized drink from this guy ... And I was totally willing to wait for this guy - no matter how much time he would need before he was free. Bartender 2 - the nasty one - shows up and asks me what I want. I explain that I am waiting for the other bartender. He does not like that response. Ninety seconds later he shows up and asks me what I want again - a little more loudly and firmly. Once again, I explain that I am waiting for the other bartender and I am in no rush. I am willing to wait for as long as it takes. He REALLY does not like that answer. The third time he comes back and lays down the law. WHAT DO YOU WANT? Okay - I was obviously not going to be allowed to wait. Very well "Okay - what kind of complex beverage could you work up for me?' "YOU - get straight whiskey!" I am not used to bartenders intentionally giving the customer the exact opposite of what he or she orders. But there is a first time for everything. I forced myself to order out of one of his bottles. And fair is fair - he did give me a generous pour. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EAT? I want your simple hot dog. He pulls out the menu eyes brimming with hostility ... and reads me the four hot dogs that are on the menu. One of them is a simple hot dog. I knew because I had read the menu. I explained to him that I had already told him the first one is what I wanted. He wasn't happy but he rang it up. I sat for a few minutes watching the football game, With the alcoholic beverage I did not want but was forced to order. I couldn't stand it any more. Just as the hot dog came, I was back at the bar - closing my tab and leaving. I had had two sips of my drink and had not touched the hot dog. I explained the whole story to the first bartender. The first bartender was really nice and tried to make amends. But at that point I wanted out. I paid my tab and off I went. * * * How is Copperhead net of this one particularly contentious individual? a) The rest of the bartending staff seems both friendly and skilled. b) Copperhead is a "two headed bar" sharing a common space with Jackalope across the courtyard. The same kitchen serves both places and the same menu is available in each. c) The main indoor room of Copperhead has a bad funky smell. I did not like being inside. The outer porch and the courtyard between the two bars are perfectly lovely. d) There were lots of people having a very good time here. Under other circumstances - this could have been a fun evening. * * * The management team at Copperhead/Jackalope seems to have put together a good product. Employees who think "The Customer Is Always Wrong" undercut the work that management is doing. read more

We came for the "Davy Jones Tiki Takeover." We're not sure what the bar looks like normally, but decorations of mermaid skeleton, full-on shark jaws and other tiki decor were kitschy in a fun and appealing way. However, the bar itself is quite large inside and a bit empty on a Wednesday night. Inside the music is so loud it is quite difficult to have a conversation. The outdoor space is appealing, but, unfortunately, the night we came was very cold without any heating. Drinks varied - mocktail list is very limited; tiki drinks were hit or miss. I enjoyed my Mai Tai, but a friend did not like the tiki twist on an Old Fashioned. read more

Good vibes and great service! Had 2 shots of whiskey on a Friday night and enjoyed the outdoor seating options. They had fans outside, swing sets, basketball, and cornhole. Something for everyone! read more

Super chill spot Our bartender was awesome and the wings are always a good choice Get docked a star because they don't have NFL package like Jackalope does read more

Came in on our last day in Austin, our flights got pushed back and all we wanted was a good vibe, some drinks and good food. And got all that. Joe is amazing and felt made us feel like old friends. If and when we visit Austin again we are coming back and hitting up Joe if he ain't workin read more

I thought this place looked really cool and fun but it was kind of the exact opposite. Staff couldn't really seemed to be bothered waiting on us. The whole vibe was unwelcoming. Looks can be deceiving I guess. read more

Random stop here while waiting for my flight back home. Glad I made the choice to stop by! Great food! Great deal on drinks! Joe was awesome! Very friendly and helpful! I'd make this a for sure stop next time I'm in Austin! read more

This place looked cool at first, we walked in as a group of 5 and there weren't very many people inside. The staff looked at us, then looked back down at their phones. They didn't say anything or aknowledge our presence. We were very disappointed with the way they treated us and eventually walked out without ordering anything. read more

Horrible service!!! Even on a slow Wednesday night! The bartender was busy taking shots instead of asking what I wanted to drink not even a greeting or I'll be right with you!! Nothing even after walking by me 3 times. after sitting at the bar for 10 minutes I left!!! read more

The Copperhead Club is where Honky-Tonk happenings and adult beverage dreams come true. Ok, you had me at $2.00, Lone Star! Thirsty Thursday, no more The Copperhead Club is offering my favorite $2.00 Lone Star's every Thursday in August! A relaxed atmosphere where you are greeted with a smile and served ice-cold cocktails. Let's remember the mouthwatering menu! They have something for everyone, from outstanding burgers to delicious sandwiches and even WINGS. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can even turn a salad into a "wrap" word- not a rock-roll... HAHA. Brunch is served on Saturdays and Sundays all day. To stay on trend with the burgers, I ordered the Smash Burger and made it a double with cheese and a side of bacon for my sweet pup, Oliver Dale. "Dogs are welcome." And, of course, I ordered seasoned waffle fries; it was a hard choice between the tots and onion rings. One of the marvelous smash burgers in Austin!! My thirsty Thursday friend ordered the Jack salad and wrapped it up with chicken tenders and buffalo sauce; he lives on the edge. What can I say? Feel like living on the edge after six or more $2.00 Lone Star's, walk or stagger across the back patio and venture into Jackalope for a thrilling photo opportunity on top of the giant Jackalope, or show off your rockstar vocals at Showpony, the karaoke lounge. Make sure to check out the event calendar at https://jackalopebar.com. Take advantage of Tuesday Steak Nights, Drag Brunch, a full-moon market, or an adorable dog race. Brilliant Dining! read more

The main bartender was very disrespectful to me. I was trying to approach a girl that I recognized although I don't think she recognized me because I cut my long hair off. As I approached he told me that he want to talk to me. When I tried to explain myself he cut me off as told me he didn't care. Then told me to "get the fuck out". I admit I acted out of character and exchanged some words before leaving. I walked back in to close my tab before I left and he cussed at me some more and started to call the police. I've never had a problem with him before and even though he was a nice guy. The other bartender told me that he was just having a bad day. I've had some pretty bad days myself and didn't find it necessary to be nasty to other people to vent my frustration. Especially not in the service industry. I won't be returning. read more

We love coming to copperhead! It's a great option for game days as they have a TON of seating, a great menu and many TVs. This place isn't kid friendly so keep that in mind for day games. The bartenders are accommodating and kind. Great sports bar vibe. read more

Off tops this place gets praise for ambiance. It's a bar but also live music venue and a cool adult fun play place with corn hole, pool, basketball, and plenty room for dancing. The vibe is upbeat and fun. They do serve food. Typical bar menu, nothing that stood out for me but it came to the table hot and it wasn't gross. If someone asked me on a date here I'd be pleased. read more

A friend and I went to the Jackalope before an event and really loved the food and the vibe. After the event we decided to try the Copperhead club. It was really interesting especially when you see it's connected to the Jackalope. The place has a cool atmosphere and there was a DJ playing awesome oldies music. My issue was that I ordered 3 mixed drinks and one non alcoholic Liquid Death flavored water and my tab was almost $40. I ordered the 3 mixed drinks on my first trip to the bar. The second trip was just the one flavored water with a cup of ice. At the end of the night after we left -I was able to see the different transactions as they were originally rung up each time before they actually get totaled up. A non alcoholic beverage cost $14!!! I have tried to call the number on the receipt to Copperhead and it's an incorrect number. I can't seem to find an email address for them so I reached out on their Facebook page by sending a message on messenger. The message isn't able to go through. At this point I'm tired of trying to find out why a non alcoholic beverage would cost $14. Just be mindful to inquire about prices or get an itemized receipt. I failed to do both so I have learned my lesson. read more

If you are looking for a cool dive bar with great food, this is the place to be. The bartenders provide great service. Justin is amazing and cooler than most bartenders. He will take care of you. Steak night is worthy and the brussel sprouts are the best I ever had. If you are in South Austin, you definitely need to stop by. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommended read more

Great food , music and service ! Have creativity in their mixed drinks , the bartenders kept checking on us .

1st time visiting Copperhead. It gives me retro vibes inside with some quirky decor. Loved the lamps! Outside patio is more of a Spanish vibe with the pillows. Which were quite comfy by the way! It was hot out, but they had plenty of fans and TVs. This spot is such a nice addition to the neighborhood. I'll be coming back for sure! read more

Cheap burgers, loud rock and roll, patio filled with babes and a Photo Booth Where you can pull your body parts out and no one will care.

I've been to a lot of bars in Austin and this is one of the most racially profiling bars I've been to. Such poor customer service, use to be such a good bar but the ambiance has changed read more

Our visit here was very short and unpleasant. Our group walked in around dinner time to grab a bite to eat. It was very confusing if we were supposed to seat ourselves or not and after feeling the low-key vibe, we sat in a booth. There was hardly anyone in the restaurant and a few groups surrounding the bar. The bartenders looked over at us Several times but never once acknowledged our presence. Instead they kept socializing with others there. I understand if it's busy and they're doing their jobs, but this didn't feel like the case. It seemed they could care less we were there. We weren't sure if we should go up to the bar to order but after them looking us several times and never helping us or prompting us to do something, we eventually left after about 10 minutes of this. It came off very rude (and I feel I'm one to be pretty understanding in restaurants). It just didn't seem very hospitable and would have appreciated someone at least acknowledging us as we walk in instead of seeing us and going on about their day. Unfortunately, would not recommend unless increasing more hospitality. read more

Great local bar with good music playing. It's not blasting so you can have a good conversation. Drinks are on par with other establishments.

I couldn't say enough great things about this place. The hottest and sweetest bartenders, bomb a$$ food, and of course lots of alcohol. Weekly specials, like steak night Tuesday's and BOGO burgers on Wednesdays read more

Ok. We've been to this joint (which is just a redux of Jackalope on dirty 6th) a few times, mainly to have a few drinks before a show at Emos. And I write this in hopes the owner/GM sees it and can figure out how to sand down the very rough edges of their bartenders and staff. Yes-- the food is SALTY as fuck but the service is more SALTY! When we got to the bar this past Friday -- before we even walked into the joint, a super surly bartender opened the door and shouted at us to 'not park in that lot!' When I informed him we actually just got dropped off by an Uber homeboy said 'oh' and then closed the door in our face without saying another word to us! "Welcome to Copperhead I guess". And THAT was the best part of the service , it went downhill from there. We ended up in the Jackalope side of the bar after that nonsense and it was worse. Bartenders were so busy taking shots with their friends and 'chitchatting' they couldn't be bothered to take our order or money -- despite being pretty slow. When they did finally bother to acknowledge our group and take our order... the got ONE out of 5 drinks right. Why? Because they weren't paying attention and we're more worried about their conversation with their friends. When we told them our order was wrong she huffed in our face , which was in fact the most interaction she actually gave us! I give this place 2 stars ONLY cause there isn't much else around that void of Riverside. But would never ever go here if I wasn't going to Emos afterwards. read more
