About This Pub
Ah, Copper Bar in Hemel Hempstead – it's one of those places that really stands out for all the right reasons, based on what I've gathered from the buzz around it. From the reviews, it sounds like the team there are absolute stars, always ready to make sure everything runs smoothly, whether you're popping in for a casual pint or hosting something special like a family gathering. I love how they've got such a great vibe with entertainment on tap every night – think darts, poker, sports on the screens, DJ sets, and even karaoke if you're feeling bold. And at just £4 a pint, it's easy to see why it's a favourite for a relaxed catch-up with mates. They've got a solid selection of drinks and a pool table, making it versatile for all sorts of occasions. But, to keep it real, it's not all smooth sailing; there have been a few instances where things got a bit out of hand with scuffles and the coppers showing up, which could spoil an otherwise great evening. Plus, if you're there for a band, you might find their set getting chopped short for other events, which is a shame. Overall, with a cracking 4.6 rating, I'd say it's well worth checking out if you're in the area, as long as you're up for a bit of the unpredictable side of pub life – just go in with your eyes open and you'll likely have a brilliant time.

Excellent service from the Copper team. Felt like I was back home - 10/10 would recommend to non-alcoholic.
First time at Copper Bar, and it was fine to start with. But in the 5 hours we were there 5 fight broke out, police arrived. Overheard bouncer saying too early for this again. Great band on whose set was cut short by Copper Bar management. Why book a band if boxing event was on and deemed more important? If you are looking for a night full of too much fake tan, massive eyebrows and men fighting for looking at a person the wrong way this is the bar for you. If you are looking for an actual good night avoid the Copper Bar.
This is one of the busier pubs in Hemel Hempstead and there's a good reason why. The beer is £4 a pint most days and there is entertainment every night Inc Darts, Poker, Sports, DJ, Karaoke. Run by proper people who want to give back to the community. Hats off to the team
Went there for a baptism and could not fault the service. 5 star service from Ryan and Daisy and they really went over and above to ensure everything was perfect. Will definitely go back when I’m next in Hemel. Thank you to you both.
Absolutely amazing bar. They have a wide range of drinks to choose from, a pool table, and the service is brillaint. A great venue to rent parties , or go for a drink. Would highly recommend and will be visiting more often.
