    We loved this Whisky Bar! If I was a local, this would be my hangout spot. Would even try to work there lol. We were guessing how many bottles they have on the shelves… it must be 700+. Thanks to Tomo for the hospitality! We’re looking forward to trying Brandy Library next.

    Very small but cozy whiskey bar open from Thursday to Sunday. They do not serve any cocktails but the bartender is a walking whiskey encyclopedia that can help you find the right fit for your taste palate

  • Review 4 (2023-09-12 - Rating: 5)

    Tomo, the bartender was absolutely lovely. Made great conversation and was super knowledgeable about the drinks in the establishment. We had the rum flight! Go here if youre a fan of tasting some high quality liquors or if youre more discerning of the quality of the alcohol you consume. As a more trashy cocktail girlie, I was a little out of my depth, but still had a lovely experience!

  • Review 5 (2023-04-14 - Rating: 5)

    Most solid bar I experienced in NYC so far. As a whiskey lover I enjoyed the tasting flights. We got two flights.We got the Japanese and Scotch flights. Presented very well. They put the bottles in front of you, number them so that you know what you are trying. Hospitality was outstanding

  • Review 6 (2024-12-08 - Rating: 5)

    Wow. What an experience. Lived on Ave B and never discovered this. Glad we did. Tomo is amazing. Sat down, talked about my taste profile and asked him to make some recommendations. He was spot on. My wife is a tequila drinker and he was fluent in that as well. Great atmosphere. Really enjoyed our conversations with Tomo.

  • Review 7 (2024-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    Love this bar. Its a little small but packed with variety. This is a true whiskey bar so dont ask for on the rocks or with a splash of water. There is no ice on premise. The owner knows his stuff and open to question and suggestions. His recommendations are on point and well worth the experience.This is NOT the kind of bar for dancing or getting wasted. Serious whiskey and bourbon drinkers only.

  • Review 8 (2022-06-10 - Rating: 4)

    Love this whiskey bar. The flight we tasted had 3 different whiskies and all of them were slightly different so there was a little bit of everything but still in the overall same wheelhouse. The staff working were also knowledgeable and able to answer any questions we had while informing us of various other whiskey tidbits!

  • Review 9 (2024-12-14 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic bourbon, whiskey & rum lists - best bar for tasting flights.Vet average wine list (might as well not have at all). No cocktails, no mixed drinks.

  • Review 10 (2019-01-08 - Rating: 5)

    One of the coolest bars Ive been to in New York, frankly. That being said, its purpose is very specific. They pour incredible spirits, but its not a place for other beverages. It is very very small, so a group is not ideal (a date is. Or yourself). They do 1 oz pours which is very convenient (and not expensive), but the bill will rise after several drinks. However, if you like spirits, enjoy intriguing, cozy, clever spaces, like to have a conversation with the bartender and learn about your beverage, are fond of attention to detail, have a deep appreciation for craftsmanship...any one of those, Copper & Oak is a place to visit. Its pretty superb!

  • Review 11 (2018-01-01 - Rating: 5)

    My favorite place in town to have a glass of real liquor. Thousands of whiskeys, rums, tequilas, brandies, etc. Some being 50+ years old. The bartender is super friendly and knowledgeable, its ridiculous how much he knows. Id avoid the flights and just be adventurous and try random stuff or ask for recommendations.

  • Review 12 (2022-06-06 - Rating: 5)

    If you are a whiskey lover then this is heaven for you. Everything you can think of is pretty much here and the bartender is so knowledgeable that he can arrange you a delicious flight of whiskeys according to your taste preferences.Absolutely wonderful place with a relaxing atmosphere.

  • Review 13 (2019-09-21 - Rating: 5)

    We really enjoyed our time here tasting whiskeys. You can choose your own or go with prearranged flights. Very cool venue with bottles from all over the world. Small space, so come early!

  • Review 14 (2020-10-15 - Rating: 5)

    Very good selection of precious and delicious liquors, for all taste ! From rum to whiskey, passing by calvados or cognac. Lot of choices !And very well welcome ! Small but to be part of your favorites !

  • Review 15 (2021-09-30 - Rating: 5)

    The copper ambiance is romantic. The selection is wide and if you dont know where to begin, Tomo is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. I could spend all my evenings here.This is not a place to do shots and get cocktails.

  • Review 16 (2018-12-26 - Rating: 5)

    Very friendly staff. Great casual upmarket atmosphere and a huge range of whiskies from all around the world. The restroom door is a great addition

  • Review 17 (2019-04-15 - Rating: 5)

    Tomo was a great sommelier and super knowledgeable. The decor is great although small. Def a must visit with Brandy library a mile away if you want some great whiskey flights!

    This place is unbelievably amazing! 🥃 Copper & Oak was an endless variety of bottles on display that will leave any alcoholic drink-lover in awe. 🍾 The interior design is breath-taking! Staff is super knowledgeable, professional, and accommodating! The ambience and music in this place are really amazing too! 🎶 I wish I knew about this place earlier!

  • Review 20 (2024-12-24 - Rating: 5)

    Such a great selection on Bourbons. Tomo is very knowledgeable and great to have a chat with. He also went out of his way to make my husband birthday incredibly memorable. We had an excellent time.-your friends from Toronto

  • Review 21 (2023-11-12 - Rating: 5)

    Came here with a group to try a highball from the esteemed Suntory machine. We stayed for three. It’s a small space but if you can find an open spot, it is well worth it. The bartender was knowledgeable and chatting with everyone, service was courteous and prompt, and the atmosphere is truly unique. Great spot to have in your back pocket when taking people out in this part of town.

  • Review 22 (2021-12-07 - Rating: 5)

    Coming from the land of bourbon, exploring the worlds of scotch, he led us through a voyage across the island and the myriad of aroma and flavors that reside. A cool spot to taste and expand.

  • Review 23 (2017-12-21 - Rating: 5)

    A glorious, shiny gold treasure vault for lovers of distilled liquors. Extensive bottle library with some rare finds, and super knowledgeable bartenders who will feel out with you about their favorite things.

  • Review 24 (2019-02-03 - Rating: 5)

    What a bar for spirits lovers! You’ll get lost in selection of bottles to try. Expect no cocktails but pure neat pours of some of the best spirits from all over the world.

  • Review 25 (2024-12-21 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best bars in New York. The vibe is just incredible. I highly recommend a visit. Great selection of drinks and the most friendliest staff ever.

  • Review 27 (2022-08-18 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic whiskey bar with great selection. Its an absolute hidden gem which is why I debated whether to write a review. Tomo knows everything there is to know about whiskey and deploys that knowledge in a super helpful way. Highly recommend for novices all the way to experienced whiskey drinks

  • Review 30 (2023-01-28 - Rating: 5)

    Very solid spot to enjoy a very adult beverage. This is where you go to if you take your spirits seriously.No gussied up drinks here. Wonderful opportunity to try a spirit that you wouldnt otherwise purchase in the store either due to cost or availability.

  • Review 31 (2024-02-11 - Rating: 5)

    This is a super cool and quaint whiskey bar with a wide assortment of various spirits. They only serve the spirits neat which is quite cool. The bartender Tumo is also super cool and very knowledgeable of all the spirits

  • Review 32 (2024-11-23 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 33 (2024-12-14 - Rating: 5)

    Great staff and great selection. Wonderful vibe and decent prices on bourbon 🥃

  • Review 34 (2022-10-30 - Rating: 5)

    Tiny instagramable spirits joint with a library of interesting liquors. The prices are sky high but has the effect of keeping out the masses, which is nice if you want a peaceful night out. The person serving knew a lot about the various spirits and is happy to have a long conversation about them as you figure out what you would like.

  • Review 35 (2021-10-29 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best whiskey bars that’s I’ve been to in my lifeQuaint, charming, clean and individualizedThe bartender gives everyone attention as to what kind of whisky/rum/tequila you would prefer to have … his recommendations are fantastic for a follow up drinkThe whole place is cleaned and seats about 10 people!If you want to learn more about whiskey/bourbon/tequila, this place is a must! Or just to find a new bottle to buy which you’d want to try first!

  • Review 36 (2021-12-14 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome vibe. Amazing selection. Knowledgeable staff who care about providing a tasting experience.

  • Review 37 (2018-02-11 - Rating: 5)

    A small but incredible shop dedicated to only the best whisk(e)ys and other spirits. A bit small, but more than makes up for it with character and passion. The workers clearly know what they are talking about and are more than willing to share their knowledge with you. If you love scotch, bourbon, or whisk(e)y then I cant recommend anywhere else.

  • Review 38 (2024-11-26 - Rating: 5)

    I love this place. The selection is next level and the service is top notch!

  • Review 39 (2022-10-31 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic small bar with a humongous selection of whiskey among other great alcohol selections.The Japanese Barman was so friendly and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to discover some new tastes.That evening they also had a free tasting of single malts.Also the bar looks as great as in the pictures.

  • Review 40 (2024-11-17 - Rating: 5)

    Popped in because our dinner restaurant reservations next door was behind on taking folks in. The sangria was the best I have ever had.

  • Review 41 (2018-04-22 - Rating: 4)

    Warm atmosphere and quality whisky selection. Menu is quite extensive and there are many unique and rare Scotch single malts available to try. This is a great place to try whisky and top notch for the United States. However it can be quite pricey (which is expected since the margin on whisky is so low in the US).I would appreciate the option to sample by the 1/2oz or 10cl, like some European whisky bars. That would make more expensive and rare selections accessible so that people can try fine, exceptional whisky. I imagine it would help with sell through the expensive bottling as well.

  • Review 42 (2020-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    It’s a tiny place but I love it! Great selection of whiskey. Lovely decor and ambiance. Staff could be more attentive but tbh I went pre covid and its always full, but not too full? Copper & Oak helped me to educate my friends about whiskey, and now they cannot shut up about whiskey and how they prefer it! Their flights are a good option for novice or experimental drinkers :)

  • Review 43 (2018-05-22 - Rating: 4)

    Very cool ambiance, very comprehensive list of spirits available. The only reason why this doesnt get 5 stars is because the seating is really tight and any time the bartender walks by you have to be careful his body doesnt knock over your glass. Id appreciate a little more space in the bar itself, especially as the chairs are anchored to the floor and cannot be moved.

  • Review 44 (2019-09-15 - Rating: 4)

    Cool little spot dedicated to the purest form of spirits. Its about as big as a large closet in the suburbs, and gets really crowded on weekends with whiskey aficionados. If youre a whiskey fan, there a good chance youll find the largest selection of fine whiskeys here. Theres one long u - shaped small counter made of copper.... Where only 1 bartender/server/host roams back and forth... Cool solace to check out.

  • Review 45 (2018-07-29 - Rating: 5)

    OMG Ive been wanting to visit this place for a while, because I love shiny things and I had a great time here. I took my family that was visiting from out of town here and we enjoyed it. Even though the place is small, we all got friendly with the other patrons and the bartender was so cute & nice and attentive. Id love to come back and try some more whiskies, they have a LARGE selection. Its easy to get lost in the menu.

  • Review 46 (2022-08-06 - Rating: 5)

    Great little place for whiskey (and other liquors I dont like as much as whiskey). The vibes are on point, the lighting is cool, and theres the required knowledgeable bartender there to give recommendations.

  • Review 53 (2017-03-13 - Rating: 5)

    Just dined here tonight and this is now the favorite upper tier dining location in Long Island for us. The ambience is fantastic. The food is amazing. The service is remarkable. Copperhill is a perfect date spot.This is a gem of a restaurant amidst the rest of Mid-Long Islands upper tier restaurants which I have found many to be either pretentiously modern, too old-fashioned, or just simply trying way too hard.Copperhill offers a perfectly pared down, unpretentious experience built on the American charm of a beautifully and smartly renovated farmhouse home; along with the carefully crafted, delicious creations of the head chef and food staff serving up the perfect new American fare.

  • Review 54 (2018-03-27 - Rating: 5)

    Great little bar to taste whiskey and mezcal. Very classy decor (like a whiskey cellar x bank vault) and expert staff. They let you taste before you commit to 1oz or 2oz and give options that dont break the bank.

  • Review 55 (2021-05-29 - Rating: 5)

    Very knowledgeable staff, cozy atmosphere, and enough spirits to find something new and interesting no matter how big a spirits geek you are. A must-see for spirit enthusiasts or for when you want to try something new in a fun, classy atmosphere.

  • Review 56 (2022-12-11 - Rating: 5)

    This was such a great gem that’s a nice change from a cocktail bar. It’s a tiny place but with tons of character lined entirely with bottles - mostly whiskeys but also other spirits. I had a flight of bourbons - so nice and such a great call for a chilly evening.

  • Review 57 (2018-10-28 - Rating: 5)

    Great selection of spirits! The music and ambiance meshed well throughout the night. This is definitely a cool place to hangout if youre into Bourbon

    Tiny whiskey bar with seating for about 8. The selection is enormous and the service is knowledgeable and friendly. The very shallow bar and the over-the-top immersive yellow lighting make me kind of nervous, though.

  • Review 64 (2021-11-01 - Rating: 5)

    A welcome civilized respite in the sea of teenage debauchery that is Lower East Side of New York. Tomo will introduce you to your new favorite whiskey, but if you ask for ice or a cocktail, you gotta go.

  • Review 65 (2017-12-08 - Rating: 5)

    Great selection and fun atmosphere. Beware. Its tiny! They will have hundreds of options and slick tablets fish laying the menu. You will find many of the options you can get at much larger places like the Brandy Library but at more modest prices. Definitely ask the staff for recommendations based on general flavors and desires. They will do a good job of helping you. Don’t feel shy.

  • Review 75 (2018-02-08 - Rating: 5)

    A companion business to the Brandy Library is one of the stylish, tiny NYC bars. It is so small that there are only one row of seats on one side for maybe 10 people. We got here early enough on a Saturday to get a seat at the “bar,” which is a copper table top that just has enough room to set a drink on it. Despite its size and lack of choices for my wine drinking wife, I prefer this place to the Brandy Library, because there is an option for a 1 ounce pour. It allows me to try a most expensive pour (scotch in my case) and more of them in one visit. The bartenders who I talk to at the Brandy Library also work here, so you know you are working with knowledgeable people.

    Really interesting concept. This place has lots of different spirits,specializing in whiskeys, but they don’t serve any cocktails, so you must be ok with having straight up drinks. They also won’t serve you if not the whole party is drinking so make sure to only go with people that will actually want to sample the different drinks.

  • Review 87 (2019-10-27 - Rating: 5)

    Very nice and quiet place. No mixed drinks, straight from the bottle. All types of rums, cognac, whiskey, scotch, bourban, mezcal, tequila and more than you can imagine. Served in 1oz or 2oz.

    Absolutely love this bar. Such a treat to go for a tasting. I’ve brought people who appreciate fine liquor. There were so many different kinds of scotch and whiskey. It’s a must for people who know their liquor. The staff has been helpful with the extensive menu. It’s small, but people don’t stay for long. Small group is okay, ideal for a nice date. Highly recommend coming here.

  • Review 119 (2019-11-25 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect, intimate spot for a date. I brought my boyfriend here after his birthday dinner. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. They have an extensive menu, but the staff was able to answer all of our questions. We stayed there for a while and weret bothered or rushed. Its a small place and the seating is limited. We stood by the window away from the rest of the people there and we were able to talk and people watch. Its a great time. Check it out if you enjoy sipping spirits.

  • Review 120 (2021-08-18 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best whisk(e)y selections in all of NYC, maybe even the state. However, if you dont want to be smushed try their other location, The Brandy Library. Dont let the name deceive you. Their selection of spirits is rivaled by few, Copper and Oak being one of them.

  • Review 121 (2017-10-19 - Rating: 5)

    This is the sister bar of the Brandy Library and has nearly as expansive a selection of aged spirits (but at a modest discount relative to its larger sibling). The bartenders are very knowledgeable and enjoy chatting with anoraks and newcomers to whisk(e)y, cognac, etc., alike. The bar also offers 1 oz pours for those looking to try different things without getting sloppy. The venue is small and struggles to squeeze in larger groups, but that generally works to its benefit.

    This place is pretty cool. Its got a copper theme to its interior. Almost too copper but thats the point, I suppose. Its pretty small. The service is great though. If youre into hard liquor, youll like it here

  • Review 128 (2018-11-26 - Rating: 5)

    Great interior design and selection of whiskeys from around the world. The staff is very knowledgeable and will happily teach you how to taste whiskey and give you useful information about different kinds of whiskeys. Overall a great place to stop by!

  • Review 129 (2019-01-12 - Rating: 5)

    As a fairly new whiskey drinker, this was a wonderful experience. This tiny bar boasts a huge selection and, more importantly, an incredibly knowledgeable, attentive and passionate staff.I had a Scotch flight, which was three small pours of three distinct scotches. The sommelier knew each one well and was able to answer any questions with ease and eagerness.I will recommend this place to any and all, experienced or neophyte.

  • Review 137 (2017-11-15 - Rating: 5)

    Great intimate space to learn about and taste delicious spirits by the ounce. No cocktails. Straight booze. It’s a great way to try different things since they can give you a 1 oz pour instead of 2.

  • Review 138 (2017-03-25 - Rating: 5)

    Its a cozy place with a great ambiance. This place is not for the kitchy drinks. Instead, they only have liquor that you appreciate by itself.The decor is amazing and really interesting. It looks like an old fashioned library with barber chairs.

    If pure tasting and good service is what you seek to try almost any whiskey you can think of this is your place. Its a library which I appreciate but some level of comrade could certainly help.

  • Review 145 (2016-06-05 - Rating: 4)

    Incredible selection of whiskeys; even those with extensive collections will be awed. Very few choices for those who dont drink spirits: a few beers, one white, one red — no cocktails whatsoever. Service is knowledgable and friendly. Prices are reasonable.

    If you like whisky, bourbon, or anything dark this is your spot. Non traditional bar setup, wish they served food. Knowledgable staff, will return, next time on a fuller stomach.

  • Review 148 (2017-09-17 - Rating: 4)

    I was looking for a whiskey/scotch place and this place was recommended to me by a friend. I came here with 2 other people and had no issues getting seats. Its a very small place and it feels like youre in a cellar. The chairs are bolted down and very close to the bar table, almost a little uncomfortable.The staff were super helpful. Very informative and had no issues answering all the questions that I had. I usually get Yamazaki or Hibiki but I asked for them to recommend me one and I was not disappointed at all.I would definitely recommend this place if you want to try a wide variety of liquor. They have 1 oz and 2 oz pours (which is great). I will definitely be coming back to the place.

  • Review 154 (2019-09-28 - Rating: 4)

    Expensive!! Process range from 15 to 700 a drink depending on your taste. Its small and slightly it the way but what a selection this place has. Its insane! The menu comes on Samsung tabs, with a PDF for each type of spirit in offer. Personally that was a bit overwhelming! We did have one drink and it was good but i would suggest maybe looking up what they have before hand.

  • Review 155 (2018-11-19 - Rating: 4)
