Bar of the Week: COPPER KETTLE KITCHEN on the UES

From the team behind Spigolo and The Gilroy, comes a concept that will change your view of comfort food and matching cocktails. The Copper Kettle Kitchen gives a view inside chef/owner Joseph D'Angelo's creativity, featuring everything we love to eat that can be perfectly paired with their beverage program.

Rustic wood, Edison light fixtures, and exposed brick walls hung with copper pots contribute to the homey, comfortable feeling. The bar is broad with plenty of seating. Copper Kettle Kitchen is the kind of place you can return to again and again in the same week.

And now, the restaurant has introduced a new happy hour to appease their growing fan base. Monday through Friday from 4-7pm, guests can enjoy $8 signature cocktails such as the "In a Nutshell", a variation on an old fashioned composed of peanut washed mellow corn whisky, cane syrup and bitters, or a rotating 'Weekly Crafted Concoction' from resident mixologist Harris Tooley (formerly of Scheib's Place and the McKittrick Hotel). A glass of featured white or red will only cost $7, and a half bottle of Valpolicella is yours for $14. Even more pleasing to the wallet are the $4 cans of Narragansett Lager on offer.

The restaurant also has featured bites that go great with their drink specials, including Blue Point Oysters for $1 each, Eggplant Meatballs for $3 per piece, an $8 Baby Chicken Pot Pie and a petite version of their Noble Pig Press for $7. Stop by after work, make a date or gather your group. We guarantee Copper Kettle Kitchen's Happy Hour will be top off your day.
