There are burgers… and then there’s the Southern Burger. 🍔

Smoky bacon. Melty cheese. Sweet heat. A messy-in-the-best-way kind of burger that somehow disappears faster than it should.

Add a basket of fries and a cold drink and you’ve officially made a good decision.

Cold drinks. Great food. Live music. Grab your people and come hang out with us downtown.

Somebody text the group chat. Nobody’s cooking tonight!

Loaded fries. Burgers. Ice-cold drinks. A basket of something delicious that disappears way too fast.
Basically everything a weekend needs.

Call your friends and meet at The Copper Penny.

Some places try way too hard to feel “local.”
The Copper Penny just is.

Burgers. Wings. Cold beer. $6 house cocktails every day. Familiar faces at the bar. Somebody you know chowing down across the room.

Good food. Good drinks. Good friends.

That’s kind of the whole point.
