Customer Reviews

Just visited for the first time today and was pretty disappointed, primarily due to the fact that the mini golf was closed for the season. Typically, this wouldn't be a problem except that the website states that it is open year-round weather permitting. Today, it was 56? and mostly sunny. It was definitely a nice day for mini golf. I was really excited to take my family here for the mini golf/mining experience and the fact that there was food and other little things was just a bonus, so getting here and th

This place is really cool! A ton of space and the food was good too. A very laid back atmosphere for the entire family. We played mini golf and it definitely needs some more holes added cause it was a lot of fun! They did a great job here! We can't wait to go back!

Food was good, but nothing really stood out. Service was OK. Waitress was not really available when needed. She was nice, though. Maybe they're understaffing and she's doing something else, but the place was not packed, so who knows. I like it though and atmosphere is good. Will try to go back soon. All and all, recommend.

Great atmosphere. Quite a bit for people to do. It wasn't very busy and took quite a while for our order. I was very disappointed in the chicken pizza. Didn't even eat one piece and definitely wasn't going to bring it home. That was the only thing I tried so maybe the other good is good?

We had a delightful experience at Copper River. Trinity is a terrific host who has created a family-friendly venue and is attentive to his guests. The musical talent (War Hippies) was outstanding. The food was delicious (especially the Jammin' Chicken Sandwich - 5 stars!) We drove 1-1/2 hours to hear War Hippies and pay tribute to our veterans. We told Trinity it was worth the drive and that we would visit again. Thanks, Gina and Joe Duncan Divide, Colorado

We really enjoyed it here. We went on a Wednesday night. They had live music. It was mostly adults but we found it to still be very kid friendly. The food was really good and despite being busy we were waited on and taken care of well. While the arcade wasn't the biggest it still had a good variety. The machines did get a little particular and picky about the card swipes. The upstairs area had pool, pinball, shuffleboard, and a nice view of the band and dance floor. We didn't get a chance to try out the min

Atmosphere was great, I personally like to have a lot to look at and there wasn't as much as I personally prefer, but nonetheless I think there's a lot to do and serves everyone no matter what you like! I thought service was going to be top tier but turns out Marcus is just top tier. As soon as we came in he calmed my nerves and provided a really.. almost relatable and embracing environment!! Very kind, very nice voice and very nice face lol. Honestly seems like a great person and definitely made me feel be

I took my brother who was visiting to Copper River and I have to say we had the best time! We went on a very busy Saturday night and they were fantastic all around! Hailey was our server, she was fantastic very friendly! Will definitely be going back!

We were a group of 9. The waitress couldn't keep the order straight. Our food came out over an hour plus. We received the wrong pizza and one order never arrived all night. Kids enjoyed the dance floor and bowling. Overall it was pretty much chaos for most of the night trying to get anything

We had our daughter?s 11th birthday party here and Trinity accommodated us more than we deserved and we are truly blessed ? he cares so much about his people and his customers. If you're thinking of having an event here? I say do it ! You won't regret it .

If you want to a Chuckie Cheese that serves liquor, you found the right place. First and only visit was around 3:00pm on a Saturday. It took 25 min. to get a beer and a cocktail. the beer sat on the waiter staion for 10 min. And the cocktail, a simple vodka and cranberry with a splash of 7, was horrible. No straw, no stir stick, no lime, in a plastic cup! How do you mess that up?! We never got a menu, even though we asked for one. Never going back!

A fellow firefighter friend of ours recommended this place to us after hearing we were staying in the Pueblo West area. We were only 1 mile away and chose to visit. It is a little hidden behind the Pueblo Auto Service Center but were able to find quickly using our GPS. Wow! Wow! What a hidden treasure! This large facility includes many things from dining and drinking to corn row, arcade, miniature golfing and more. We tried the Copper River 3/4 Burger and were in shock at the size. Needless to say we had d

If you're looking for a fun place to grab a bite this is it. Plenty of good food on the menu so there is sure to be something for everyone. Nice beer selection and friendly staff. Lots of activities happening around here from bowling, escape rooms, minigolf, cornhole and gold panning. Nice family friendly and lots of space for the little ones to get some energy out.

Food not to good. Arcade definitely a rip off. If it's supposed to be family friendly atmosphere they need to have better games. Bowling lanes always getting stuck. Live music is great but my kids don't have fun there. When asking employees about games they say that they know nothing about them. Total rip off.

We enjoyed a football watching Sunday here and absolutely loved it. Harvey did a super job of greeting us and gettting us all set upstairs to watch the game. The salad and soup buffet was excellent! Kit and his staff are extremely accommodating and super friendly! Great food, great atmosphere, and cold beer...couldn't ask for a better day!!

I went on a Wednesday night. It was an older crowd who love to dance (think 60+). The live country band was really good playing the classics and the music wasn't so loud that you can't talk to your friends. My cocktail wasn't too strong.. which I actually appreciated because I didn't want a hangover the next day. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and my husband and I will be back after we learn the Cowboy Cha Cha Cha.

Came here the other night with a group of friends, was told it was open seating. We sat and waited at a table for 30 minutes and not one person came to take an order. We had never been so we went to the bar to try and order and were told to sit down and someone would be by shortly, waited another 15 minutes and nobody came. Got up and left. Was excited to try this place out but not going to wait that long just to order.

We went on a Friday night, not realizing that for that particular band you needed a reservation. However, they still accommodated us and provided excellent service. We will definitely be going back.

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and absolutely the best staff! We had so much fun tonight and had the best meal! The owner talked with us for quite a while and our server took great care of us! We will be back very soon! Thank you for the great service and delicious food!

Cool place, with tons of potential. First and biggest thing they need to do is put on music throughout and turn it up. Need more energy. It's too quiet in here. Put on some good music, crank it up and boost everyone's mood and energy!!

First time here and it was okay. It's kinda hard to order when they don't have anything you want to order because the kitchen ?doesn't have it ready?. Service was mediocre everything took awhile including the bill which we personally went up for after a while of waiting only for her to say it'll be a moment and take another 20 minutes.

While I liked the concept, the reality was we weren't even provided actual plates. They have 5 people sharing appetizers the paper "bowls" that are used to put chicken wing bones in... When I asked for actual plates and silverware, the server indicated they didn't have them as a rule...? He was great and was able to find exactly 5 paper plates and plastic silverware. But that's ridiculous, not to have actual plates or utensils? Equality cool as a concept was the song bingo they were playing the whole time.

Wonderful place. They always seem to have stuff going on from dancing with love music, poker, mini golf, bowling, etc.. The service is great as well. My server Nollie was friendly and helpful explaining things on the menu as well as providing me great service. The wings are good and saucy. I recommend anyone to go there to have a great time

Went to watch the Confederate Railroad. That was my first time there. It's a really comfortable place and I'm thinking about having our Company Christmas party there.

We were back for round two of prime rib. It did not disappoint! So much food for the price: a 10-ounce cut of meat (that's more than a half pound) that was correctly cooked for me (very rare) and for the other three at our table--two medium wells and a medium. A goodly helping of delicious green beans, a passle of potatoes (quartered, and so probably at least two whole potatoes), great horseradish (creamy and regular), and a soft dinner roll with garlic butter to spread on it. Absolutely delicious dinner! S

Had a birthday party for my great granddaughter kids had a blast so many things to do wish we had something like this in Pueblo . Yes it's only minutes away but when you're my age( 70)it's hard getting here .come see your self it's a great place .

My kids love the arcade and the mini golf !! The food is amazing and the Service is great !! I have been 5 times with my own family before I was given a job opportunity love this place

The for here has dramatically improved from a few years ago. I would recommend this place anybody including families with kids who like to run around and play arcade games.

Really enjoy their atmosphere and all the amenities! They bring great music to Pueblo West and an awesome place for people to get together and have fun!

The Brisket Spud was great...and huge. But I have a couple of minor complaints. They should use real flatware and glasses. Plasticware feels like a picnic or like we're still in covid. Also, it seems small to charge extra for Ranch dressing with the Onion Rings, and for extra BBQ sauce.

I can't express enough how cool the staff is! They individualized our team building event and were very accommodating. The staff were helping other set up their parties like a member of the family. Great value as well for multi activity parties.

Great place to go. Super great people and place! Lots of food choices with reasonable prices

Didn't know it existed until today. Great gathering place. They survived the pandemic so you know they are good!

This place is awesome! We went at a slow time but I can't wait to go back to watch a band or something.

Really cool place, the owner is super friendly, & they have some unique food items! (The burger with the fried uncrustable on it was AMAZING)!

So far I have been there three times and I have enjoyed the atmosphere the servers and the food.

The experience was very fun. We watched line dancing classes and listened to a live band who played covers extremely well. We also participated in the escape room, which was challenging. Service was poor, however, but I think this was due to only 2 servers for the whole restaurant. All in all, I'd recommend this place to a friend even despite the less than stellar service. Just plan to wait for your food and drinks or do like we did and just order drinks from the bartender directly.

First time there and very disappointed with it, paid over 80 bucks for two meals no alcohol beverages and food was undercooked and cooled waited 45 mins for a simple burger and chicken tenders. Waitress was not helpful one bit , barely checked on us and it was very dead. I will never go back to there again probably why it is so slow and dead and on the verge of closing. If I was you I would not go. Live music was awful, the band barely even knew the lyrics to the songs they were singing. Probably my worst e

Great family outing. great prices. food was good and the staff are so amazing.

Trinity and the staff are amazing. Always a great time everytime we go. Great food and drinks!

This is the most fun place in Pueblo West. There's bowling, cornhole, mini golf, sponsored raffles, and occasionally singo bingo. The best part is that it is more focused on adult fun and entertainment so it's nice to have an adult vibe where adults can still have fun and play games but if you bring your kids then there's still something for them to do too. The music they play is great and the customers seem to have a good time and are quite friendly. The food is better than average bar food but nothing sta

My family and I enjoy either having dinner or meeting up with friends over drinks, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. They offer a lot of entertainment options that you can view on their website, but one in particular is a weekly meet up on Saturdays of individuals and cool cars and trucks. My husband brought me along one time and after purchasing a breakfast burrito, the folks here offered free coffee! That's great customer service!

Great place to hang out with family or for a date night. Such a fun atmosphere and there are so many different games and things to do. We've been 3x and have done something different each time. The band this past Wednesday was awesome! It's becoming our go-to place!

After all the advertising the web page the reviews and I finally got there I was very underwhelmed. The arcade is barely arcade, two bowling lanes I would say the only good thing for entertainment activity would be the mini golf and the mining. I can't say anything on the escape room, I did not try it but I would not expect it to be anything exciting after how everything else was. I ordered the club sandwich with dill cheddar cheese I still wanted the Swiss but it came with any cheese and I upgraded to the

We had a 70th Birthday Party for my husband at Copper River and had a wonderful experience! Trinity, the owner, put everything together for us including yummy appetizers and seating for our guests. Most of our guests had never been there and loved the atmosphere, as did we. My husband had the best birthday party yet and we are so thankful to Trinity and his staff for helping make it such a great time! We would highly recommend them for a venue or just lunch or dinner, their food is so good!

Under impressed. First the good point - hamburger was tasty. Now the bad - person who greated us asked if we were part of graduation party. We weren't. She said it was open seating. We had to ask if someone was waiting on tables. That person asked if we were with the party. NO, DA! She said it was hard to tell because of the party. So, is it the patrons responsibility to keep track of who is or is not with the party? With their large facility, they could have sectioned the party away from the ope

This place is awesome! Family friendly, alot of things for the kids to do. Cool vibe with the live music, food was pretty good, drinks were good, overall we will definitely be back to this place! The outdoor venues look awesome for summer parties!

Me and my gf went on a date thinking it was a musical but they were just thr sponsors however a minor slip up turned into an amazing night, they just got their liquor license today and we had a young gentalman come in and play 6 to 8 extremely great songs, staff was on top of everything and very kind amd generous would definatly recommend for a first time date or a family get together. They have pool, bowling, gold panning and mini golf. It was perfect for thr little ones

Update: Their new prime rib dinner on Sunday night is phenomenal and top notch. It is a big change and the best prime rib I've ever had, including the butter for the rolls, the potatoes (yum) and the fresh green beans. Also we have done the escape room for a discounted price on escape room day. Super fun, multiple rooms, and hard, but exciting. Arcade changes throughout time. New pool hall upstairs. The concerts are really fun. The owners have really put their heart and whole soul into establishing this fa

Told to sit anywhere...all dirty tables.. sat and a lady came over said your waitress will be with you. Waitress said what can I get you not knowing there's no menus, orderd and appetizer and a drink.. got our food and she never came back as asked us if we wanted anything else like our main food, flagged down a different waitress and asked for our check cause we never got a refill or got to order any other food.. would not recommend the nachos since that's all we got to order the whole time

Trinity Smith and his staff are killing it at this family-friendly restaurant/music/entertainment venue. The food alone is worth stopping in and seeing what all this place has to offer. Bowling lanes, billiards, arcade (with some sweet games), escape room, mini golf and more. Great service all the way around. Strongly recommend the Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich. Out of this world.

Went on a Wednesday night with my co-workers. There was a live country band and dancing. It was a lot of fun

Nice place, friendly staff. Live music ????

Me and my family visit copper river frequently. Amazing food! Their staff is always friendly and professional. Our daughter has a great time in the arcade.The drinks and bartenders are fantastic! Great concerts! Nothing but great experiences the whole way around.

In my opinion, The owner of this facility is very uptight and strict, doesn't seem to fix any major issues. I will say, This establishment is a very warm and welcoming facility with the management of employees flying around doing their best to please every customer as much as possible, the complaints about the bowling machines are out the a**. I feel they need to have more for the little kids to do.. I'll say that, I will be returning to this less of a ?family friendly? establishment because of the food a

This place is a bit hard to find, but it's such a blast! The venue is clean and beautifully put together. The staff do a wonderful job of keeping up with the volume of people coming in the door. The food is fantastic and so is the service.

Bad DJ, never finished a song only played 20 secs per song. Bad service, took forever for them to take our food order after drinks, didn't receive all of our order and spent over an hour at the table and still didn't have the rest of our order. Watched several other tables food sit for long periods of time in the window getting cold one was even sitting for over 10 minutes. All while wait staff were standing around or on their phones. Only good thing was the escape room I experienced the detention room.

Never in my 43 years have I felt so unwelcome and uncomfortable in a restaurant. The wait staff really nice. The patrons were a whole different story. Being Hispanic I was stared at the whole time, others would turn in their chairs to watch me. I ate a 1/4 of my burger. Felt so uncomfortable waited until we left to use the restroom at the gas station. Really wanted to enjoy Copper River, will not return.

Dude at counter was rude short and could care less about my questions. He would just look at me but he managed to take my money. 0 stars for customer service. It was my first time here. The price for 2 people for 9 holes was 24 dollars. Not impressed. Owners of this place should just quit and let someone else take over. Also the Cuban i ordered had hardly any meat on it it was cold and we got the wrong fries. This place isn't worth the hype. Do better

We had a large group attending and the experience, atmosphere and especially the food was above and beyond my expectations. I will be there again soon!

We loved it here. I only gave a 3 on food because they were out of the plant based burger. The food we did get was really good. What a great place for families to come. There is literally something for everyone here. The owner seems to be very passionate about this establishment and that is a great sign!

Love this place, never had any complaints about any of it and the kids love it as well.

This is the spot for parties and dancing! Extremely family friendly and always a good time! Their food and drinks are also delicious, you're sure to have a good time here!

Food was super good, and the bang was great! Cool drink selection, and inviting atmosphere made this a great place for a fun Saturday night with friends!

Great place! SINGO BINGO on Thursday night?s is a blast and karaoke afterwards. The food is great and the staff are very attentive and friendly. They also have a really cool mini golf set up and live music and a game room for the kids with a two lane bowling alley! Take the kids and have a great time!

First time visiting. The escape room was really fun, food was excellent, atmosphere and service were great. We will definitely be back! Update: we've become semiz?regulars now. Really good wings, burgers, fries. Wait staff is excellent. Trivia night is a blast!

First time going here- we had heard some pretty awful things about this place when the last owners had it, and it was not family friendly, so we were a little apprehensive about going to it now. Boy, am I glad we decided to give it a try now. New owners made this place the way it should have been to begin with, an awesome place for family and friends to eat and play games. Food was delicious, and we did the miniature golf afterward. I HIGHLY recommend this place, and we can not wait to come back.

I am being generous with my rating. Yes, the atmosphere could be fun. But the place was pretty empty. The service was OK, not anything to brag about. Now, the food. I ordered the teriyaki chicken sandwich. Not only was it the smallest chicken sandwich I have ever eaten, but the flavor was dry and barely edible. The fries had so much seasoning they tasted like something that just came out of a season shaker. My bf baked potato was cold, cheese was not melted and bacon was burnt. And the extra special surpri

Food and bowling was all fun and good but the escape room was just not it. It was all just numeric

We had my granddaughters 3rd Birthday party here with a bounce house and they had the best time ever! It was also my daughter's Birthday so we were able to purchase drinks to celebrate. We all had a very good time! We will definitely be back with all of our friends and family.

18 holes is actually 9 holes twice, but still a great time with a mystery bag to pan through. Bowling arcade and food available inside. Great time for kids and adults.

Awesome owner. Love the environment the staff and all the good times. Food is delicious and it's extremely family friendly. Would suggest to anyone if you looking to have a great time with great people.

Very enjoyable evening bowling with friends. Listed Beyond Burger on menu and baked potatoes but didn't have them. Fries are good (though some in our group said theirs came cold). Probably need more cooks and waitresses and to assess their menu/stock. But there is a great need for a place like this and I'm glad for it's existing! I'm sure they'll improve. Looking forward to going with friends again!

Excellent food and high energy environment. Our server was very attentive and the general Manger receptive to our feedback about the technology fee on the bill. We will be back!

Simply amazing, went here for my sons concdet. Co6ldnt be more pleased.

We were extremely excited to try this place last weekend. It was busy, as there was a band playing. We managed to find a table by the bar counter. Sat there for over 15 minutes, as waitresses walked by us a handful of times, and we were never acknowledged. We ended up just leaving. Seems like a really cool venue, but the service was disappointing.

We had our team building meet at Copper River and we had an excellent time. Food was great, the GM and bartender/server were awesome. I will have to take the family there to check out the escape rooms. Lots of stuff to do!

Didn't have any food but everything about the place was good

Very fun place people where great. Food was good had a good time in escape room. Loved the music. Was very busy.

We had the best time as a family, it was the perfect place for all ages! Everyone had something to do! I loved seeing my 4 year old finding jewels/gold? jumping up and down screaming with glee. Priceless! Get a snack at their restaurant, or sit down for a whole dinner. This is such as asset for ALL of Pueblo County. So much fun for everyone! Their menu is excellent.

This is a great place to unwind and enjoy music, food, games and drinks. I recently moved to the area and this place has made a good impression so far. I've been twice and both times I've greatly enjoyed myself. This place is great if you enjoy karaoke as well

Country Western band on Wednesday nights! Great fun two-stepping. Line dance lessons for a small charge before the band ?? Food is great too! Try the Classic Spud!

I very much believe I will be going back to try more of their food and venue. Quite a lot to take in I was made aware they will have a new menu in January with some amazing changes with food items. I can't wait to try the "Elvis" sandwhich!! They have the best sweet potato fries I've ever enjoyed!!

Copper River is a great place to go and enjoy some fun with family and friends. You can play games, pool, darts, bowling, live entertainment and escape room. The owner is a Marine Veteran and super friendly. I've been here a few times and enjoyed myself each time. The onion rings are awesome. The staff is attentive and nice.

Fun atmosphere and great food. The wait on the food was a little longer than expected but it was definitely worth the wait. They have a lot to do,but the openness of the building really brightens up the place and makes it feel less crowded.

Came for a lunch adventure. Had fun playing mini golf and sifting rocks. Lunch itself was lacking. Food was bland and had no seasoning or real flavor. I ordered the club and had a single overcooked piece of bacon with regular sandwich meat on dry toast. We were over charged for both kids meals. On the menu it says that it include fries or side salad and a small drink. We were charged $3.50 for each kid drink and $2 for the side salad. It was a great experience until that. Not sure if we will come back.

We specifically went to see James Cook, and found this to be a really fun, nice, clean place for the whole family. Good food, great staff. Enjoyed very much!

We had our sons 4th birthday party here and it was perfect, staff was great, atmosphere was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better place to host our little buddies special day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
