From outside the Copper Rocket looks a little like an old motel, but inside is a casual pub that offers many beers, home-style cookin', live music, and good times.
Mixed drinks and wine are available, but most opt for one of the wide selection of domestic or imported beers. The friendly and knowledgeable staff are quick to serve and the crowd is tourist-friendly. Just minutes away from downtown Orlando in Maitland, the Copper Rocket has plenty of free parking for weary travelers.
