Copp Brewery & Winery - Crystal River, Florida

My husband and I and our friends were on vacation in the area and decided to stop by, we're really glad we did. If we lived closer we'd come all the time. It was a cool atmosphere, we liked sitting in the dark speakeasy room. The food was pretty good and at a really decent price. We really liked the beer cheese that came with a pretzel and also the pizzas. I personally enjoyed getting a wine flight because they had so many sweet flavors of wine which is really the only types of drink I like. They were all really good. My favorite was the orange chocolate dessert wine. Our bartender Ron was great too, he was very nice and let us taste some samples. They also have a outdoor little beer garden if you want to eat outside. They did not have live music when we were there, but I did see some information that they do have live music certain nights.

We stopped in here after riding the Suncoast Trail. My two friends were very happy to find four dollar brews that day. Very cool place with different areas of seating separated from other areas. The decor was really cool also. We got a woodfired pizza. That was really good for a late lunch.

Cool brewery serving micro brewed beers and wine. Went on a Sunday afternoon, so it was not busy. Got a flight of 4 beers to taste, and they were great. Had some appetizers to share, and they were good. Ronnie, the bartender, took us on a tour of the facility. We especially liked the outdoor beer garden and the hidden entrance to the speakeasy!

The only brewery in a reasonable distance from Crystal River is one that folks should probably take more advantage of. I did a flight of the IPAs, including the orange and blue, jalapeño, Kings Bay, and bourbon blue. Each of them were excellent beers and I was surprised that the jalapeño was my favorite. It is light and vanilla ISH without too much kick. The Philly cheesesteak and tots or excellent. This is a place. I will definitely visit again.

This a great place to stop in for lunch or dinner. Offers a variety of appetizers and food from salads to wraps to smash burgers plus great beer options.

My family had dinner and the soft pretzel with beer cheese, bacon cheese smash burger , Swiss smash burger and turkey bacon ranch wrap and all were delicious.

The flights of beer and wine is also really good and reasonably priced.

One main thing from our experience that I want to highlight is the customer service. The staff was friendly and informative and made our experience even better. It is a place where you seat yourself and order at the bar area when ready and staff is well informed to answer any questions on their good,beer and wine offerings . Highly recommend.

Tasty brews, wines, and entrees to try. A lot of little activities and entertainment. Love coming here for live music and to catch up with loved ones. Awesome place with great people and lay back vibes.

One word: disappointing. This place has so much potential — it’s in a great location with a nice atmosphere, but the experience fell flat. My husband and I came in around 9 PM on a Friday (they close at 11 PM), and the place was nearly empty.

You have to order at the bar, which is already inconvenient, but it got worse. My husband ordered a burger, only to be told five minutes later that the grill had been cleaned and they couldn’t make burgers. I ordered the rice and beans bowl, and while my husband was back at the bar scrambling to choose something else, a server told me they were out of rice and beans — at 9 PM. She then handed me the late night menu. At 9 PM.

It’s clear the issue here is poor management. The worst part? They don’t even pay their employees — allegedly to keep prices low, which is laughable because their prices are not low. If you’re running a restaurant, you need to have staff and basic menu items available. Otherwise, what’s the point?

I wouldn’t come back — not even for free. Go at your own risk.

Some new friends introduced me to Copp Brewery and Winery today. I have passed by this place many times on my way home. Our little get together started at 5:00 and went till 8:00 when they closed. I really enjoyed the pale ale that I got when I came in. The staff is very nice and the atmosphere is laid back and comfortable. They have many rooms. In some you may be able to get a table by yourself if that's what you want. The food looked very good. I had eaten before I got there so I was not hungry, but one person ordered a specialty hamburger and it made my mouth water even though I was full. Everyone was trying different beers. It truly is an interesting place. It's kind of a hidden gem that you will definitely want to come back to if you try it once. I plan to come back and eat also next time. I would also like to try some of the different beers. They have such an unusual mix of beers I think everyone will find something they like. Happy hour Thursday is wonderful. $4 beers. How can you beat that? I would definitely recommend this brewery / restaurant.
