Copper Blues Rock Pub & Kitchen, Phoenix

"The way things used to be" is the motto of Copper Blues Rock Pub & Kitchen, and the casual eatery harkens back to a time when going out to eat was more like a night on the town, or the opening credits of early reality show Cheers. Good spirits abound throughout the dining area and on stage, where live bands keep toes tapping as patrons dig into pizzas baked in a stone hearth oven, hearty burgers, and shareable appetizers. Copper Blues' commitment to fun times can even be seen on their website, which keeps a running clock ticking down the seconds until happy hour.
