Reviews for Copper Blues Brea in Brea, CA
This was the worst service I have ever experienced in my life. The only employee that was helpful was the host at the entrance.... The "Manager" was letting his staff drown all night, unhelpful to them or anyone attending the show. If ANYONE would approachhim to ask a question he would just start shaking his head saying "No, no, no." Before the individual would even finish askingtheir question. All the waiters were clearly overwhelmed as it seemed they had double booked the event. And as we apologizedwith a quick sorry to a waiter and asked if we could place a drink order, one after another would either just walk away or say"No I don't take orders." As they walked away without offering a solution. They only had 2 bartenders available for the "400people" the Manager told us would be in the venue that night, after telling us we would NOT get a seat since they also booked a70 person birthday party. And they used an entire row of tables and seats to place food on. So if you want a drink or food youhad to make your way to the front stage where they had a bar. And you also had to go back to pick up your order since we wereinformed they would NOT bring it to us because we were to far back. A DISASTER! Do yourself a favor and don't bother with thisplace. It's upsetting. Read more
Been there twice in two weeks. Tonight was to see the Brono Mars cover band it was atrocious. Reverb and feedback squealing for... the entire night. Acoustics were trash. I managed to speak with fake Bruno and he blamed the poor audio on the venue and seemeddead set to just power through. After a 30 minute break they came back on. Same issues, maybe worse. Clearly they didn’t careto fix it. I was embarrassed for them. What’s weird is the weekend before we saw Brandon Wilder and his band and theyabsolutely slayed it on a slow night. One of the best live shows I’ve seen in a couple years. And it was a god awful slownight. I will 100% come back to see Brandon, but as long as the venue tolerates garbage audio I’m hard pressed to spend moneyon another band. The bar is trash. Most beer is sold out and the bar staff seems they’d rather do just about anything elsebesides serve drinks. The back bar isn’t staffed so 2 bar tenders for a few hundred people. Brilliant work. ??????? To top itoff, the front desk refused entry to my friends, and meanwhile didn’t actually verify our tickets. I’d suggest to anybodycoming to just say you have tickets and hope they don’t check. It’s not worth pre paying. Not for this junk audio and slowbar service. Read more
Amazing place, huge windows right in downtown Brea. The live band karaoke is a great time. I saw the recent negative reviews and... was worried, but my experience was great. Drink wait times were average for a restaurant. Maybe slow for a bar but I'd say veryaverage for a restaurant. Our waiters came quite often to make sure we were all ok. We had one server change during our night,both were great. They were out of a couple drinks, however, through the night we had at least one of everything they did haveand it was all good. Try the spicy cucumber! Read more
Four drinks/beers in a row weren’t available (4). The food is overpriced for the quality and quantity. And the waitress was... one of the worst I’ve ever had. This place really is deserving of a one star, it’s not one little problem. It’s a completedumpster fire. Read more
Went to eat at Copper Blues before heading to a show next door at Improv. Getting a table was easy, now I know why. First,... while trying to order a beer, CB was out of a few of them. CB was also out of a few things at the bar too : no VO, no Bitters,had to check for Crown Royal. Took about 10 mins to get our drinks from when we ordered..normally that wouldn't be bad if theplace was busy but the restaurant was still empty. Started off with the cheese platter appetizer...that was good. We thenordered our food, I had the fish and chips , mine came out good, my buddy's came out dry. My wife had a Margherita pizza, thesauce had a funny taste and the crust was rubbery. Someone else ordered the spicy pepperonni also said the sauce tasted funnyand crust was horrible didn't bother taking the rest of the pizza home. One person in our party of 8 just ordered the classicCaesar salad no anchovies, brought her salad with anchovies. She sent it back, never got her salad back till end of ourmeal. The only saving grace of this place was the entertainment "The dueling pianos couple". If I did go back would be to seethem, and maybe have the cheese platter appetizer but that's it. Read more
So unfortunately there is a 3 star like for this establishment. Mr Hartman needs to tend to this establishment a little better... is my opinion. I've eaten here for brunch a long time ago. The quality of the food was mmmm good, would've been 5 stars at thattime of year. But as of late the food is not as appealing as it was back then. We ordered a pizza for 2 and garlic fries. Iwanted to know if the pizza was made there or was it Digiorno ? Sorry to state that the pizza was less than stellar and thegarlic fries were more limp and super soaked oil that made it more so than anything else. Oh we also had I believe donut holeswith some kind of creamy sauce. Let's just state that it was kind of disheartening for a simple dessert. Cinnabon it was not andnot even close. I'm sorry but I have frequented this establishment for the entertainment and have refused to order food. I'llbuy a beer and that's because I wholeheartedly believe that the beer can't be messed up, but then again anything is possibleunder the sun. As for the piña colada it was fantastic 1 time so far. 1 other time after the server who will remain namelessjust ordered pineapple juice and it came layered and unfortunately bad, just bad. Not shaken, mixed, stirred or anything of thatsort. We sent it back and decided to order a Shirley Temple, at that point I couldn't decide what was worse. My actual thoughtwas that Shirley Temple herself would turn over in her grave if she were to try even a sip of that. In all honesty I refused topay for either drink and the server had the audacity to still want to charge me for one of those drinks. I was appalled and wasstern with him about what I was going to pay for. He made a big stink about it and was petty about the situation. What I hadn'tmentioned was when he brought out the Shirley Temple he slammed it on the table without a word and kept walking. Total attitudefrom that point on, you know the type, looking at you with snearing looks from the corner of t Read more
Nice place. Hit or miss as far as being lively or dead, even on a Friday night. Their beer is about the same price you'd pay at... Buffalo Wild Wings, except here you get about half the amount. The beer comes in a coke can sized and shaped glass. Kind of arip off. They have Karaoke on Fridays, where a live band plays from a selection of songs. Pretty fun. Haven't tried to foodyet. Usually go here to get a few srinks while we wait for put table to be ready elsewhere. I have tried their nachos, not goodhonestly. Read more
We went to see Flash Pants and had a great time. Smaller sized intimate venue felt like we were in the middle of the... action. Our group had several drinks and appetizers as we watched the show. Can't wait to come back and see what next showsthey have. Read more
