I would give this dismal bar zero stars of I could. (yeah it's that bad). Do not get me started on the shitty future and atmosphere. That alone makes this place unlikely. No, what makes this place worthy of zero stars, and of me never going back, is the employees. Two of my female friends made use of their shitty "ladies nights deals" to get a $1 shot and they got me a Tequila sunrise and thought it would cute to put it in a pink cup. A security guard without saying anything and ignoring my questions took my drink away. After talking to them they said that if it was a pink cup it was part of the "ladies night deal" so I couldn't have it. Expert that my friends pay FULL PRICE for their shitty drink. After talking to everyone, who gave us an attitude, they did nothing bout THEIR mistake. I will never go back to this place. It's that terrible.
Review Source:This is a 3.5 rating. Hey yelp, if you're listening, we'd all appreciate half stars :)
On with the review. Been here a couple times, honestly it's okay. The dance section is okay, I wasn't really wowed by the choices of music  but many other people were getting their grooves on just fine. Oh yeah, the hubs ordered a Blue Moon from that side, and once we walked over to the other bar, we realized it was not what we ordered! I'm not sure what it was but it was nasty :( Bathrooms are okay for the females. Last time, I actually enjoyed the non dance floor side more. The bar tender was pretty and attentive, she made some rockin sex on the beaches. There was a live band playing that was pretty cool. You know I loves me some live music :)
Drove from Sac to this place to support a dj on a Saturday. I thought, Modesto?? There's clubs in Modesto? lol So I went with friends because I was bored.
We were told this club was "upscale" so yeah when we arrived, some people were not even dressed up and were let in. So we were like, "WTF?!"
This Club was very dark... they over did it with the fog machine. I almost tripped twice and I didn't even drink yet! Â I did not like the dance floor...it was just a long narrow small space...people kept walking back and forth...interrupting the dancing..got annoying.
The only thing good about this place that night was the music because DJ SN1 was dj-ing that night.
Even though there is a smoking section outside by the doorway, where people line up to get in...the fumes would get inside if you were at the bar in the front...did not like that.
They need to improve on the dance floor and walkway/lounge area...too crowded. Â I'm glad we got in free. I wouldn't pay to get in.
Expectations create great times! Â So go to the Copper Rhino not expecting too much and you'll have a blast. Â The bar tenders are awesome...and I love to hit on them! Â They're all over the service thing as well.
This place plays great tunes and the party really gets going because the beer is cheap and the crowd happy. Â This place is worth going to here and there. Â Of course, nothing it perfect. Â If you're one of those A list folks who need attention because you're insecure, avoid this place. Â But if you're simply looking for fun; looking to peiople watch; and most important looking at those bar tenders, then by all means head out there!
I come here just to stand under the mist machine. Â Why not, right? Â Its kind of like being back in Vegas at Body English..... No, no it doesnt. Â Poor, poor Modesto and the people that live here. Â If this is your idea of a good time on a Friday or Saturday night then I simply just feel bad for you. Â Someone should really do something about the lack of night life in this town. Â Please if you are headed here just turn around and don't waste your time or money
Review Source:I really wish Modesto would live up to it's full potential. I mean come on, people like me reside here! Yes, I think highly of myself. I also don't fit the Mo stereotype. I have all of my teeth, I have a job, and my kids aren't running amuck on the first of the month in Winco. Anyhow, like any other establishment they try hard to enforce the dress code, but they fail miserably. Ghetto ass folks hit Forever 21 and Anchor Blue for a spot of class in order to get around this dress code. I believe the saying is something like you can take the girl out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the girl?
The husband and I were in there last weekend. Nikki, was the most adorable bartender and she was on it with her service. It's always fun to just hang out have a few drinks and people watch. The most hilarious thing was watching fools get angry over the size of their $1 beers. I mean come on, just because you spent $12.99 on your shirt doesn't entitle you to a full size pint. Or does it? They've redone the 'club' side and it's pretty cool. Not sure that Modesto is in need of bottle service just yet. However, when we do get there, you know where to go!
Modesto's nightlife is paltry, same old music you hear on the radio, rude crowd; Â A scrabble night with friends owns all over Modesto's nightlife.
A book club is more interesting. Â Seriously, it is.
My sister put it best when she said, "Copper Rhino could not even compare to the lowliest bar in San Francisco."
The redeeming qualities of Copper are the $2 dollar pitcher nights and awesome drink specials. Â I guess if you want to get smashed for cheap and want to hang out with people that are equally as drunk it's not so bad.
Bring a designated driver or call a cab.
I went to the Copper Rhino with an open mind. I walked in and told myself, this place is starting out with five stars.
The bar has two rooms, one had a live band, one had a very loud jukebox. Minus one star for conflicting music choices.
Then, I saw the shuffle board. Plus one star.
After playing, minus one star because the board was in dismal condition.
Ordered a drink, a simple Hef. Took five minutes and there was literally only three other people at the bar. Minus another star. The bartender was too busy making sure that her cleavage was sufficient instead of getting me my beer.
Next, as I was conversing very loudly with my friends, due to the extremely loud music, the lights went out. Seriously? What is up with that. The bulbs just all of a sudden burned out. And no one fixed it. I felt badly for the people playing pool. I don't know how you are suppose to sink the eight ball if you can't see. Minus another star.
Lastly, everything was sticky. The heels of my boots stuck to the floor, the table tops could have doubled as petri dish, and the bathroom was atrocious.
I really wanted to like this place. Sorry Copper Rhino.
Jeanette's right, this place is "ghetto" for a lack of a better word. I've been there twice and I will admit I've had a good time, as long as I stayed on the left side, bartenders were cool and even cute and the live bands are a nice touch. Unfortunately when you  have to go through the right side to have a smoke you feel like your being herded in a line of cattle as your blinded by all the fake "bling" and neon green/pink Nike's on the people that have nothing better then try to hit on your "breezy". I gotta say thanks for my free Newcastle glass and bottle openers. Lose the "Hip-Hop" side and let the idiots go to the Palladium!
Review Source:well modesto is by far a livelier city than merced....thats really not saying much to begin with.
anyways, i really like trendy hip cool clubs. copper rhino is dumpy. but i dont expect trendy in a town like modesto so for what its worth...copper rhino gets 4 stars. mostly because its crowded, which means more chicks. Â the music is good, altho a tad loud...seriosuly its hard to hold a convo with a drunk chick when the music is blaring...cant u turn it down a notch? all in all i am definitely gonna come back...for lack of anything else near me.
Good drinks, but suffers from overcrowding like most clubs in the area. If you're into dancing when there's practically no room to breathe and too loud to really hear anything, then I guess this is your kind of place. But as for me, I think I'll either steer clear or just hit the place before it gets busy.
One redeeming value of this club is its staff. I'm still fairly new to the club scene and I wasn't properly dressed (I was in a hoodie), but the guys outside could tell I wasn't trying to cause trouble and told me to just tuck my hood into my sweater and I'd be good to go. Now don't expect them to be pushovers, because they aren't, but its good to see that the bouncers they hire aren't just slabs of grunting meat, too.
Another thing that saves Copper Rhino from getting 2 stars is that it does indeed have potential. Its in a great spot and their bartenders are incredibly talented. Maybe once the club settles in and the crowds start dying down a bit, it will be more enjoyable.
This is a cool place and I like how it's 2 bars in one. My biggest complaint is that if someone plays something cheesy on the jukebox you are forced to listen to it. This place would be a lot better if they had DJ's rather than a jukebox. The bartenders here are on point, although it does really help to get friendly with them.
