Decent selection of beer... good specials that change up. Atmosphere was nice, very neighborhoody. Food was good... truffle mac n cheese was insane. Chicken sandwich was decent. Our waitress seemed a bit distracted. Owned by the same people @ Hop Devil Grill... although they have a better selection.

Nice local bar. Solid selection of bottles and taps. Nothing glamorous or out of control -- just a really good local bar with a relaxed atmosphere. A must if you’re on the UES.

I love Copperfields because not only is it close to my place, but the food is good, their specials are great, and their beer selection is diverse and abundant. All in all a great place to visit.

Nice place. Nice atmosphere. Really helpful staff. About 30 Taps. Did not try the food. Good selection of taps and bottles that is rotated frequently. Prices are what youd expect in the area. Staff brought out some nice goodies that werent on the menu. Really enjoyed this place.

Great place -excellent service even if the manager is a bit dull and boring. But the people behind the bar are great. Good information about breweries and beers. Large menu, we could not try more than a handful, but they where all just great. To be recommended.

Decent bar. Has a good draft line-up that highlights American craft beer. They also do some good brewery events; I visited on Victory night, which featured nine VBC taps. Prices are a bit above NYC standards for some beers, which would be OK since the beers are quite good; however, this bar is WAY off the beaten path and I can’t say the prices are justified. (Caveat: There do seem to be some good happy hour deals.) I didn’t have any food. The bartender was very kind and attentive, and I noticed she really knew how to pour a good pint (or goblet), leaving a perfect-sized head and not wasting any liquid. I would recommed this bar only if you are in the area for some reason. Not really a destination for someone who lives away from the Upper East Side.

Small-medium size noisy pub that probably sit 100 people at most. Standard greasy pub food. Heteroclite decoration, they could turn it into a Mexican restaurant or something else without changing a thing. Crowd is early 30s people, a bit on the left-side, some openly gay. Good selection with about 30 taps. The week-end I visited this pub I did an extensive NYC and Brooklyn pub-crawl and found a few interesting items at this pub that I didn’t find anywhere else in NYC/Brooklyn during that week-end, namely Cigar City Maduro Oatmeal Brown Ale and Keegan Ales Bourbon Barrel Joe Mama. To me this is almost a new must-hit when I visit NYC.

Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of this reveiw, or whether that station will be held by anyone else, these words must show. And so begins the David Copperfield of Charles Dickens - if he had rated beer bars. In the remoteness of the Upper West Side, where few with souls tread, there is one oasis in the sea of beer mediocrity; and that oasis is David Copperfields. It is small in area. There is a long marble topped bar on the left as you enter. Opposite this, a few hightops, arbitrarily scatered along the wall. Towards the rear, enroute to the downstairs loo, is a small dining area. Rotated frequently, their beer selection excels in that it offers something for every palate, style and taste. During my visit, there was an abudance of Colorado crafts on tap. (See my reveiw for Rattle N Hum.) The service was friendly, efficient and professional - the bartender was equipped with a varitable arsenal of beer knowledge (Not that your hero needed any, of course.) While the food was basic, it was tasty, filling and reasonably priced. In any case, David Copperfield has many specials throughtout the week. So, if you happen to be in the Yorkville neighborhood and seek a pleasant quaff, stop by for a pint, because, as Wilkins Micawber would say (while scanning the extensive beer menu), something will surely turn up. Why, I bet he’d even toast Uriah Heep and Jane Murdstone!

Copperfield’s has a consistently strong tap selection in a somewhat beer deprived area (which, incidentally, has about third the number of people of vermont. or wyoming), the good old UES. On the last trip of mine to Copperfield’s, while working in the neighborhood, I had the Fuller’s ESB which was poured extremely well and was kept at the proper temp. Welcome atmosphere and reasonable prices make this a strong neighborhood spot. Just a shame it’s practically in Queens. If you can make the trip over to York in th late afternoon, or work in the area, be sure to check out the happy hour special, during which you have a great chance to try some pretty exceptional beers for $4.
