The Copper Door completed my birthday night. I got a table complimentary of Rosanna and my friends and I had a fabulous time in the VIP lounge. My favorite part about this place is the decor and the interior design. Its very chic and contemporary. Drinks were delis and music was great.The only thing I hated about this place was that it was infested with creepy ghetto asian guys. Several of them thought they were so cool to just plop into my lounge area... But I guess I cant blame The Copper Door for that infestation.

One of my favorite places to go on Saturday nights! Four different stages, great dancing, and strong drinks. The bar tender, Ron Boggs, is especially awesome!

This is probably my favorite re-occurring party in the city. It is so amazingly fun. If you like great music (no matter what genre) and love dancing, youre missing out if you havent been to Bootie.Location: Fun location with tons to do around in the SOMA. There are restaurants, other bars, etc. A bit tricky to get to if you dont drive so make sure to stack up the taxi money.

I visited the club on New Year Eve Do-Over Party, a reenactment of the countdown and celebration of 2016. I arrived before 10:00 pm, so admission was $10:00, plus I received 2015 best of Booties Mashup CD. I counted about 20 guests inside the club.

This place was tons of fun! My friends and I went this weekend and we all had so much fun! The bouncers were all sweet, and the bartenders were friendly. The seating was nice, it was a lot of bench seating, but I will say the space was a little underwhelming, they could definitely use a little bit of decor touch up. However that’s my only complaint! The music was great, the drinks were awesome (I loved the strawberry tart). This place is definitely a great place to visit if your in Santa Ana!!!

Security actively tries to keep you from having a good time. They’re on their high horse. They wouldn’t even let us take pictures with the cool art they have inside . If I was the owner I would find a new security detail.

Nice place to go for drinks with friends on a Friday evening. The art is cool, the space is nice, the drinks are good, and it isnt so loud you cant hear your friends talking to you. Ill be back, I am sure.

Great bar, nice venue underground. Cool lighting and interior. They have a good selection of beers on tap. Dark inside and its a good place to hang out on weekdays when less busy. On the weekends they are pretty crowded. Hipster alert though, I did see a good number of those guys.

Came on a Sunday during a holiday weekend so not much people but it seems like a great venue.Staff was nice and drinks were great. I had the fresco fries and was completely sold. They were so delicious!I hope to come back during a more busy time because the music was great with lots of hip hop!

Place is cool they have Modelo tall cans but they need better beers on tap. Went on a Friday it was cool DJ was semi on point couldve been better but you get what you pay for.UpdateBe careful If you pay with a Credit or a Debit card because they will double charge you.

The Copper Door is located underneath Chapter One. The best parking options is along Broadway or the parking structure adjacent from Chapter One on 3rd & Broadway.The music was great.The decor is dark, atmosphere was blah and wasnt much of a beer drinker. I wasnt aware it was only craft beer available. I have to thank my friends for convincing me to comeback here. I actually enjoy it, just needed to adjust and glad I did.At the End this place is generally fun..

This is a nice place I love how they have a wide vicinity so lots of real estate for people to walk around and it also looks like a nice place for somebody whos thinking business and wants to take the team out or I have a meeting at this type of establishment. Drinks are a little pricey

Taco stand inside. Fresh cocktails on tab. Decent beer. Pool tables $10 per hour. Only been here for happy hour; easy to imagine this place as dance hall with all the floor space

At first I wasnt a big fan of this place. The decor is dark, atmosphere was blah and wasnt much of a beer drinker. I wasnt aware it was only craft beer available. I have to thank my friends for convincing me to comeback here. I actually enjoy it, just needed to adjust and glad I did.The Copper Door is located underneath Chapter One. The best parking options is along Broadway or the parking structure adjacent from Chapter One on 3rd & Broadway. Its only a few bucks for the night. Be prepared to show your ID before you enter. The bar is very spacious. Theres a the infamous long wooden table in the middle of the bar, with multiple pool tables to right and a stage for music performers towards the back area. Love the extensive craft beer selection, especially the sour ales! If youre a Yelper, check-in to get a freebie. Copper Door is a chill spot to enjoy a brew, play pool, catch a live performance or just hang out with some friends.

Fun bar with a large selection of craft beers to choose from. It usually gets pretty crowded and has a good atmosphere, especially on the weekends. Often live music as well. Only downside is that there is no hard alcohol.

I attend regularly for the Big Draw and enjoy the live music. I just wish the food quality was better as well as the seating options because the booths fill up quick. I recommend getting food at the nearby 4th street market before heading here for drinks and company.

Usually pricey but they have the longest happy hour that I know of, which means $3 off all drinks..Happy hour is Open to 10pm weekdays, Open to 9pm weekends..They have 10 to 15 beers on tap.. From Oregon to San Diego and beyond..I wil visit here whenever I am in OC...

Do not come here. Theft from employees! Do not open a tab with your card. My wife and I ordered 6 drinks, they charged us for 16 drinks a total of $210. They refuse to show proof of the charge for $149 with my signature or even give their names. I would say bring cash only if you dare to still go, but my wife got her phone stolen from the bar. We were able to track the person with google not leave this bar until 3am after the bar closed at 2am so that means a employee stole my phone and then walked to his car. Had to file a police report. This never happened at any other OC bar weve been to. !! Do not go here!!

Today was one of my baddest day ever, this place sucks, I was just dancing with my husband and two of the security were homophobic and told us to stop dancing together, and please respect them, we did nothing... NOTHING!!!! They feel like they are the authority, they suck! We were just dancing and they even kicked us out of the place, police and security did NOTHING!!! Please we are in California we speak diversity we speak freedom!!! Never in my life Im coming back to this place, honestly just because they have Lough music you are not safe in there, RACIST and HOMOPHOBIC THATS WHAT YOU ARE!!!!

Cooper door fun depends on your mood. if you want to chill then get there early and its fine but it will get louder as the night progresses. if you want to party, get there late as you will be put to sleep if you get there too soon.

$4 drafts before 9pm :) if youre coming on the weekend, get here early! the line, especially friday/saturday/holidays can get vicious. Also gentlemen, no sports logos allowed! That includes hats. if you drove there its fine cause you can leave it in your car but they will not allow ya girl to just put it in her purse so if youre ubering there, dont even bring it. No guys are allowed on the stage at anytime. Ladies are, and sometimes the DJs give out free shots for those ladies dancing on the stage. theyre 95% mixer but hey, its hot af in there, and its free. Theres a couple cool instagrammable photo props so if you, like myself feel the desperate need to prove you have a social life to strangers, those are fun. They also dont allow vapes, even though i see people sneak them in all the time.

I LOVE Copper Door! Every night is different and amazing in its own way from burlesque shows to packed reggae or rock shows to bottle service video DJ nights to low key Monday trivia nights and social art nights like The Big Draw (they cover their 30+ foot long table with butcher paper and hand out acrylics).Oh and props for finally getting full liquor and serving finger-licking good food!!Tips: Happy Hour for drinks is Mon-Fri from 5-7pm, $2 off drafts & $4 cocktails. Then the kitchen, Swine Addicts, has $1 Taco Tues & 2 for $1 Wing Wednesdays till 8. Sometimes theres all day food specials as well. And street parking is free after 8pm.

Very hip bar with a different theme every weeknight. Its more popular for the younger/hipster crowd. The music was pretty loud and difficult to have a conversation in. Pool tables are usually full. Basic cocktail/bar. Serves food as well.

Located in downtown Santa Ana, this bar isnt easy to spot. I drove slowly up the street in search of guess what? A Copper Door! I found parking nearby (luckily) and decided to navigate on foot. Bless my good fortune, I spotted a few Yelpers and after an ID check, I was shown a set of stairs leading to what felt like nowhere. There is a bar down there, right? Youre not leading me to a secret basement?At the end of my descent and through a curtain, I entered a den. A man cave. A dim space. It felt as though I was burrowing through a hole or digging until I found something. It took my eyes a while to adjust to my surroundings. Where was I? I spotted a few pool tables, an oblong bar area to my right, a long wooden table, and someone finally yelled Hey Suki!The first impression had me a little mystified. Im not really a bar person but I can dig this. Im all about the strange and unusual and something about being underground, hard to find, and elusive was appealing. There really is a copper door but good luck finding it. Since it is underground, prepare yourself for a musky cedar odor. Acoustics are bad but there is an ambitious DJ who will try and spin some myriad of musical selections that you might end up liking after a round of beers. Muster up that energy for the dance floor that is supposedly in the works. Rumor has it owners Davin and Marta Gumm brought the property with a grandfathered beer license. I met a new friend from LA and we sampled their Fruli Strawberry Belgium Blond. Im not a fan of anything overwhelmingly sweet and I expected a sick strawberry syrupy beer but the flavor was refreshing and it resembled more of a sparkling strawberry beer. The strawberry flavor was subtle. I could easily drink another or two or three.While the selection of beer is vast, the bar unfortunately doesnt sell food. The back counter behind the bar is decorated with colorful mason jars and there youll find their assortment of beer nuts. We took advantage of the opportunity to sample the roasted peanuts, smoked almonds, wasabi, chili cornuts, and pistachios.The Copper Door located near Proof Bar (Ah ha! Secret location revealed!) is definitely worth checking out if youre in the area. If youre looking for parking, I turned on 3rd street off of Broadway and parked near the structure but theres also a drugstore nearby. Not sure if they tow though. Good luck. Dont get lost once inside and enjoy the vibe.
