    TL;DR: Great service, Great Food, Great Times! Fantastic spot for drinks and food either with family or friends. Tons of TVs and always have the game on. Great atmosphere and always a good time when I'm there. Service is beyond fantastic. Crystal, Faith and Kay are always on point at the bar. If Tanya's on bar, you're in for some good banter and exceptional service. Food is delicious here. Everything seems fresh. Definitely recommend the crispy cauliflower, chicken souvlaki, or the bison burger. But all the standard pub options are also a good choice. If you're looking for a neighborhood joint to frequent, highly recommend the Copper Key. The new ownership is dedicated to making this place a success and greatly values customer feedback. This is my prime go to now for drinks and food. Come join me at the bar, as the regulars are always friendly! Update: Ally on the bar is a breath of fresh air. She's fantastic and funny.

    From the moment you walk into The Copper Key Kitchen + Pub, you know you’re in for something special. The warm, rustic decor strikes the perfect balance between cozy and contemporary, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu is a creative mix of elevated comfort food and thoughtful pub classics, and every dish feels like it was crafted with care. I highly recommend starting with their signature appetizers For the main course, the entire menu was an absolute standout. Cooked to perfection and beautifully plated, it was both hearty and refined. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in using quality ingredients and bold flavors. Drinks-wise, The Copper Key doesn’t disappoint. Their cocktail list is creative and well-executed, with classics and house specials that pair beautifully with the food. The martini was a personal favorite — balanced, refreshing, and not overly sweet. Service was top-notch throughout the evening. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, which really added to the experience. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual night out or celebrating something special, The Copper Key Kitchen + Pub delivers on every level. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to — again and again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended!

    I had an amazing experience at Copper Key Kitchen + Pub! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was inviting, the drinks were top-notch, and the service was exceptional. A special shoutout to Crystal, who went above and beyond to make sure my night was perfect. She was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She made great recommendations, always had a smile on her face, and made sure my glass was never empty. It’s rare to find service this good! If you’re looking for a great spot to unwind with fantastic drinks and outstanding hospitality, this is the place to be. I’ll definitely be coming back—especially to be served by Crystal again!

    I recently visited The Copper Key, a newly opened pub that took over from The Oak, and I was really impressed! The atmosphere is fantastic – cozy yet vibrant, with a great mix of music and a friendly crowd. It's got that perfect balance of relaxed and lively. The food menu is spot-on, offering a great range of options from hearty classics (must try any of the burgers or made to order pastas) to lighter bites (calamari!). The staff were incredibly welcoming, making the experience even better. If you’re looking for a great place to hang with some friends and enjoy some elevated pub food and drinks, I highly recommend checking this place out!

    I enjoyed the experience and their massive selection. It was premium exquisite, I had ordered the greatest poutine in my life. It was called the Steakhouse poutine, it was delicious. The Copper key house alcoholic beverage was splendid. I totally recommend visiting this pub.
