Good Reason It is Crowded

by Carmennoche

I've been going to the Copa for years, not only for the great margaritas and food but also because

of the mix of people. Young, Old (which I am) all races, all walks of life. They all add up to a fun

and friendly time. I saw the entry about the surprise in the food and was shocked until I learned from a bartender

that it was part of a prep glove. He says they comped the food anyway. He also

made a funny joke about the finger-sized plastic. The Copa's new upstairs lounges are much more

upscale but I prefer the original funky decor downstairs.

• Pros: Great mix of people -- very friendly.
• Cons: Pretty noisy most of the time because of the crowds and taste in loud music

DISGUSTING - found cond0m in food

by lisadroni

My husband and I went to Copabanana on South Street in Philadelphia today, Sunday June 22, 2008 and each ordered a burger. My husband ordered french fries with his burger. The fries were covered in grilled onions and peppers. We each had one bite of his fries and my huband found a cond0m in the fries. We were horrified and disgusted. He called the waiter over who was equally appauled and exclaimed 'I can't work here anymore'. We immediately left and went to Walgreens to buy mouthwash and were completely sickened and horrified. Pleast help us spread the word.

• Pros: none
• Cons: disgusting

dont go if your alone

by sran_l

I went to south streets copa in search of a refreshing margariti or 2 or 3 to enjoy while i people watched in the street seating area. with no signs stating that guests must be eating to enjoy this seating area or be more then 1 . I went inside to request a table outside. first no one even bothered to ask if i needed assistance i had to hunt down someone. when I did find her I said I wanted to have margaritis outside. at this time the "rule " should have been mentioned if it said rule actually existed. because if i Had Wanted to SIT at the HOT STUFFY BAR i would been there instead of waitng around for somone to ask for a table. instead I find myself outside infront of other table . told because I wasn't eating that I could n't sit outside.

only to notice later on other patrons enjoying drinks only.

• Pros: the margaritis are good. expensive!
• Cons: good luck finding out information
