Copper on King — Restaurant in Milwaukee

We stumbled upon Copper on King while looking for a bite to eat before a Milwaukee Admirals game and the Justin Timberlake concert. The bars we initially tried were packed with no open tables, but luckily, this spot had seating available. We had no idea what to expect, but the warm and inviting atmosphere immediately made us feel like we had made the right choice. The restaurant features a long, narrow bar with seating to the right and beautiful copper accents throughout—giving it a sleek yet cozy vibe.

Our server, Selina, was absolutely fantastic! She took the time to walk us through the menu, making great recommendations along the way. Without a doubt, the Bee Sting appetizer is a must-try—the combination of feta cheese, hot honey, pistachios, and those perfectly seasoned cauliflower toast points had us craving more all night long!

For our main dish, we ordered wings, and Selina suggested doing a dry rub with sauces on the side so we could try multiple flavors. We went with four different sauces, which made for a fun experience—especially for the kids! The wings were perfectly cooked, flavorful, and served piping hot. On top of that, the service was extremely fast—we barely had time to chat before our appetizers and meals arrived.

If you’re in the area and need a great place to grab a bite before an event, Copper on King is a fantastic choice. Amazing service, delicious food, and a relaxed yet stylish atmosphere—this place is definitely...

I abhor sports bars and 95% of what is classified as bar food. Milwaukee has a ton of them all over the city, serving the same frozen, greasy, disgusting food devoured by yahoos tanked up on beer, who wouldn’t know the difference between good food and dog feces. That’s why I usually avoid anything near that abomination called the Deer District.

However, a friend invited me to a Marquette game, and he said to meet him at a place named the Copper on King. With great trepidation, I walked into a typically looking Milwaukee sports bar, copying the ubiquitous sports bar design used worldwide; Nothing unique or innovative here. After sitting down at the huge bar, and some lively conversation with my buddy, we ordered one chicken nugget appetizer to share. The dish arrived, and I was blown away. This appetizer could serve three or four people, and the chicken tasted great, as did my fries. It probably wasn’t fresh, but it tasted good and was not greasy. Our server was intelligent and understood inference. That was fun and cool.

Copper on King isn’t a five-star dining establishment, but for what it’s designed to do, it does well. I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat at the Copper, but if I’m attending an event in this testosterone drenched neighborhood, the Copper on King is my...

I stopped by here for some food over the weekend while I was in Milwaukee for the Triathlon Nationals. I found the actual space to be very nice and took a spot at the bar. Trying to order food and drinks turned out to be an unexpected chore because apparently they were out of most things on the menu. But after taking the initial order for my spouse and I that would be the last time the bartender would acknowledge me until I had to put in way more effort than necessary wave him down for the check after sitting there for quite a while after finishing. I guess after finishing my first drink as well as the initial glass of water I got when sitting down I was just supposed to be thirsty because the bartender would spend tons of time with the patrons on one side of me then zip past me to help the others on the other side skipping me entirely. In fact the group that got there half an hour after me were able to get to their third round of drinks while I was apparently only allowed the one. The food I had was good (what I eventually could order because of said lack of inventory) and the actual bar is nice but the service was abysmal. If I find myself in the Brew City again I have no problem skipping Copper and hitting one of the others places on that street that I had much better...
