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 you're a fan of tasting some high quality liquors or if you're 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!

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

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 wouldn't otherwise purchase in the store either due to cost or availability.

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.

Such a fantastic selection of whiskeys, cognac and more! We really enjoyed the vibe there, the owner was extremely knowledgeable and gave us really good recommendations! We definitely visit again.

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.

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!

One of the coolest bars I've been to in New York, frankly. That being said, it's purpose is very specific. They pour incredible spirits, but it's 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. It's pretty superb!

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, it's ridiculous how much he knows. I'd avoid the flights and just be adventurous and try random stuff or ask for recommendations.

It’s one thing to have an excellent selection of fine and rare whiskies and spirits of which there are a few in Manhattan. However, not many have an owner / bartender with the kind of knowledge and genuine understanding of each one in context of your particular tastes. I very much enjoyed for instance exploring some unusual finish Bourbons which were very small production and very rare but fit perfectly the description of what I enjoyed and wanted to further understand. All this was done with careful attention and explanation and if you are in the mindset to explore further whiskies in particular this is highly recommended. Great atmosphere and intimate but is slow service in the end with only one bartender. I’ll probably come back when I can, just will try to avoid busy hours.

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!

The food was not worth the cost. Had to send back the prime rib, lobster bisque was extremely salty and did not come out hot. Scallops were small and expensive. The waitress was very nice and the drinks were good. Overall not worth the cost.
