Expert Reviews of The Copa

Citysearch | Neighbors and young hipsters jam into this Clybourn Corridor lounge for DJ-spun tunes and cocktails.

Red and gold vintage wallpaper and a zebra-striped wooden bar create a retro vibe at this neighborhood lounge. Early comers can choose from three booths dwarfed by enormous dome lights or a few tables in the...

User Reviews of The Copa

Avoid Copa!

A friend and I had a late dinner near Copa and saw the sign so we tried it. I wish we hadn't. The place has a very strong metrosexual feel, a trend that died several years ago. I don't mind some smoke in a...

believe me, it's a good thing! COPA RoCkS

Totally cool place with hot women and lots of cool stuff in this place: COPA. I liked the retro design , felt like Sinatra was gonna show up! But he would have to listen to cooler tunes played by DJs. I didn't...

Awful

This place is slightly bigger than a CTA rail car, and almost as enjoyable. If we wanted to hang around people putting on stupid club attitudes we would have skipped Copa and gone straight to Le Passage. If...

Great Place for underground hip hop

This place is one of the few spots where you actually can still hear old school/underground hip hop. The early part of the night usually starts out with the normal house crap but towards the end of the night...

Frankie was here!!!!!!

Hey my Chitown playas, I really liked hanging out here. Copa is like a lounge I imagined the Rat Pack hung out in. I had a babe on my arm and a drink in my hand. THAT'S Life!

Drop the attitudes, COPA!

Everyone from the staff through the patrons had a major attitude. The bartenders would rather chat with their friends than serve drinks to those they didn't know, and when they did it was with a "who are you?"...

C O P A!

Why haven't I heard of this place before? We parked by this bar when we shopping one day and peaked in the window. It wasn't open yet (too early in the day). We returned on another night and found this joint...

Horrible

I was in the area with some friends and happened upon the Copa. This place is terrible. The guys are either meatheads in tight T-shirts or squirrelly club wannabes in shiny shirts. The girls look like rejects...

yes.

Copa is a good mix of little club, lounge and bar. No food, no BS, just booze in a slick atmosphere.

When did this place show up? I went to the old bar and found this little diamond. Copa is this little fantastic spot with a cool DJ. I felt like I crashed a great party. I called my friends to join me and we...

WE LOVED THE COPA!!

I live in the neighborhood and just discovered this gem. I felt like I was at someone's private lounge for a martini party. It's a no nonsense, unpretentious lounge with taste.

A LOUNGE!!!!

This is a sleek, little place where you can grab a cold cocktail and hear some good dj's. I give it a strong recommendation!
