Greek Cuisine
Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.

This place is and always has been an absolute dump. If you are looking for a night of trouble, this is your lucky ticket to jail.

Very unimpressive boring venue. The owner had six security guys kick out my friend for suspiciously looking through his cigarettes even though they found nothing on him, after he paid 20$ to get in. They charge 2$ for water and will not give you tap water. We went across the street to the gas station and paid them instead out of principle.

I was in a nostalgic mood tonight and I thought of this place that I used to go to in a while back in my early 20s. (I'm not 50 yet but I like named my good ol days as my early 20's). This place called New Copper Penny. It's a dance club with a restaurant on the side. I used to go there with my friends. It wasn't a five stars dance club. It's more like in the middle between divey and not divey... They played all kind of music from AC/DC Shook me all night long to Kelis My Milkshake to the techno version of Bryan Adam's - Heaven... Anyway, so I googled this place tonight and turned out to be now the restaurant is specialized in Greek-American and apparently the new word for Restaurant in Greek-American is Restaraunt...according to their index page... New Copper Penny was a part of my early 20's. I'm so glad I closed that chapter of my life...(still I'm not 50 years old...)

Uhhhm, wow. If you asked me last Friday if I'd ever been to the New Copper Penny I would have replied, "yeah, I think so." In my early days in Portland I was ferried around to lots of different bars all over the city by a buddy who had moved here about 8+ years before me, and I thought this was one of them. After walking up to the foreboding security window at the NCP last Saturday night I started having doubts. I think there's only one other non-concert venue place in Pdx I've been to where I had to pass security like that. Maybe I hadn't been here before... Then again, once inside I was immediately transported back through the time-space continuum to a crappy, ridiculous, little nightclub that I and my poor, inexperienced, recently-turned-21friends used to frequent back in the gawdforsaken Central Valley of California. That place was called the Tree Frog (then Woody's, then some other silly name I no longer can recall). Like the place in which I spent virtually all the disposable income in my 21-year-old's bank account (not a lot) buying watered down rum&cokes, Coor's Lights, and Mellon Balls (or when brave enough to utter the words, a "Sloe Comfortable Screw against the Wall" for the naive, giggly shock value) - the New Copper Penny seems full of people looking for one thing and one thing only: Tha' hookup! Of course, achieving one's objective of "tha' hookup" is immeasurably easier when one or both parties are suitably hammered, hence the full bar and relatively inexpensive (though often weak) cocktails. I had some IPA I'd never heard of before, and would never order again unless my only other option was Corona Light. There was a $5 cover to get in - which I'd never pay again (or rather I wouldn't let my buddy pay it for me). Our bartender/go-go dancer looked about 2 weeks away from working the pole for tips at Tommy's, and the music was universally loud and pretty bad - alternating between 70's disco hits ( youtube.com/watch?v=A_Zi… ), more contemporary hip-hop, and country. If I had a little less couth I'd repeat the comment we made about substituting said barmaid's name for "cowboy' in this song ( mtvmusic.com/video/?id=3… ). Seriously, this place is not for me...and I venture to guess that even the patrons who like this place would be better served (literally and figuratively) going elsewhere. It gets a 2nd star from me for nostalgia. That old club back in Modesto I used to frequent? That's where My Lady and I had our first date.

Once a meat market now a grave yard. This place offers a very secure location (they scan id cards), great sound system, fair number of pool tables, large dance floor, decent lighting, large number of Crappy tables and over priced drinks. The seating needs an update. The exterior needs an update. The prices need an update. The place has no 'wow' factor. It is well located and a great place for a manager with vision to take over. Basically its run poorly. One big thing: they never have a shortage of trashy sluts dancing around on the floor. Wish it was a place I could go to more often. how about update this place so people will start coming in again. think Dave and busters.

This place smelled like straight urine, which was ironic because I heard WIZ Khalifa playing as I noticed the smell. The drinks were over the top weak, even for an AMF, and there are a lot of desperate dudes out here. Dry humping can be found on the dance floor, along with 200+lbs chicks. If you are into super hood crowds and getting looked at sideways, this is the place for you. If not, stay away... FAR away...
(1)Adam S.
The place looks as good on the inside as it does on the outside. The quality of the food, drinks and service are exactly how you would expect them to be, bad. I wouldn't be surprised if this place is just a front for an organized crime family. And with the offtrack betting, I'm sure that's not far from the truth. Judging by how the bartender/waiter on the restaurant side acts, it is. He seems like he's just tolerating you long enough to get back to playing bookie and counting money in the back. The inside of the night club looks like it's a strip club, without the strippers. Unless your are looking to expand your underworld connections, you should avoid this place. P.S. If I don't write anymore reviews, it's because the owner of the Copper Penny had my fingers broken or I've been whacked.

Bad burger beef. I came here to watch an NBA playoff game. I wasn't surprised about the food. I do wish they would at least carry ONE local beer. You expect to find AT LEAST A HENRY WEINHARDS OR WIDMER in a bar in Portland. Closest beer source = san Francisco? Come on. That's really sad.
(1)Andry N.
Uhh dude I came here like 3 to 5 years ago visiting the fam.... Yulp they brought me here on a certain day... Want to know something cool??!?!? Dang I got soooo smashed.. I was hammered before 10pm!! Let me explain how people... I wasn't a light wieght or so nor the fact that the Oregon peps thought they can out drink me... It was all cuz that NIGHT was BUY 1 GET 1 Free!! Damn Gina!! Where was she that night?? LOL jk but yea I rather not compare the prices or the looks or the people cuz I don't expect much only cuz LA is in another level...... To me the price was hella right for drink... Hella space and dead sooo yea kudos on the drinks thou wasn't much females so yeah 3 stars it is
(3)Jacob V.
Years of mediocre club restaurant experience blahhhh. The crowd is blah as well blah blah and more blahh. I know im missing something though because its been there for years but not for me.
(1)Clancy J.
This review is specifically for the dining room. They have the best kid area in Portland! It isn't a corner, or a box of toys. It is a fully secure, fenced-in play zone that is only a couple of feet away from the booths. Every time we go, our 2 year old is so entertained by the play area we have to practically drag him out when we leave. We almost always order the New York steak, which comes with all the trimmings for only $12.50. Dinner is served with fresh bread and the soups are delicious and homemade. Service is very friendly and prompt. Because of the play area, we can relax and enjoy our food and drink.
(5)Karen F.
Um, I don't even know where to begin. The people who worked there were actually pretty nice, and the drinks were strong and cheapish (hence the 2 stars), but, there were fewer than 10 people in the entire place on a Saturday night. It was really, really, REALLY sad. Maybe they just need to do some advertising in the local weeklies or something? The DJ was actually pretty good too. Too bad there's no one there to hear him spin.
(2)Jimmie K.
Never had a problem with this place, good food, good drinks, very roomy so you can wander around a bit if you want. It could definitely use a remodel, but hey, it is what it is, a solid 3 from me!
(3)Hey U.
I did not have a good experience. Friends moved into the neighborhood and said they wanted to try it out - we were in a "sure a local dive sounds fun" kind of mood. I went in with low expectations and I was still disappointed. I will say, staff was nice. Not particiularly fantastic but again, take into the divey nature and I'm ok with a few things not being available or forgotten...still nice waitress and bartender of the folks we interacted with. Dirty and run down. And that is just the ladies on the dance floor. Duuuude seriously the place was gross. I mean I'm a guy and had a buddy live over a gas station thate never cleaned his toilet once the year he lived there - on par. Just they whole place needs to be pressure washed with 409. The food. Hmm. saying this was the worst frenhc dip I have ever had might not be strong enough. It was gross and I didn't get more than 3 bites in. Fries tasted frozen from the ghetto grocery store freezer section. Friends and wife all were "suffer through it" or I'll drink enough to not care and finish. Drinks were ok priced, I stuck to bottled beer because I'm sorry I have learned me lesson than to order a mixed drink in a shithole at this point in my life. My wife switched to beer after her margarita (she always hopes for the best yet was disappointed). We tried to stay longer and hit the dance floor but just had a few drinks as it wasn;t really crowded and frankly it delt kind of sketchy. Like stay long enough and one of you is going to get propsitioned for a paid handy or to buy some roofies. Not sure I can blame a place for it's clientele but really they cater to the lowest common denominator. By the way I totally had to look up how to sp check denominator , I was right but seriously how often does one use that. I can say we ,and our friends that are renting not too far from there, will pass on it in the future.
(1)Dean S.
Not bad. It's roomy with, I think, at least two pool tables. When there's live music, there's a cover charge unless you bring your own pool sticks and let them know you're just there to play pool. Their pours were a little weak on a Friday night and the band that played when we were there, well, they pretty much sucked and were just a loud cover band. The biggest downside for me is the location. There were a lot of sketchy people that night. More so than most other bars we've been to here. All-in-all though, not too bad.
(3)Greg D.
I'll give it a 3 because they have a decent beer list. Bartender was a good dude. Didn't have the food and this wouldn't be my first date spot, but 22 beers on tap and growler fills for $6 will bring me back. I was here around 5pm. Not sure of how night would be.
(3)Sarah F.
They say that they put jobs and money into the community, but, the place is disgusting!! Look at the outside of this place. Run down. Moldy and mildewy. Busted parking lot. Fix it up. Make it better. It just doesn't seem to attract a very responsible crowd. Just an eyesore in the neighborhood. Maybe a gunshot will spark a fire and it'll burn down?
(1)Jon F.
Me, to the waitress: Do you serve food? The waitress: Let me check. 'Nuff said.
(2)Randy S.
I was there with my son n daughter in law on 11/19/14 For drinks. Bartender was cold n rude, he also hit on my daughter in Law when my son was in the men's room. Will not return and hopefully the rumors are are correct and they sell n demolish it.
(1)James M.
Dark, dank disgusting and I would not eat anything that comes out of that kitchen. The good news it has been sold and will be torn down soon. PDC in connection with a developer have agreed in terms to purchase the property from the owner, long time owner. The staff should start looking for jobs, owner is trying to keep it under wraps. Bulldozers are coming in during the early summer months. More good news.
(1)B T.
Took my friend there for her 21st birthday, after ONE BEER, they cut us off. There was no drinking before, we walked in sober and I wasn't even allowed to buy her a birthday shot. The bartender was rude and crude from the moment we walked in the door.
(1)Robert H.
Yup. Fuck this place. Went for a good cause and was totally let down. I have no complaints about the music. The food was sub-par but that was to be expected. The service was ridiculous. Made up some excuse as to why I had to pay cash... $3.75 service fee... Okay whatever. Asked for blue cheese, got ranch. Ketchup was Walmart brand and TOTALLY empty. Waitress came back twice before she actually brought it. Ordered chicken strips after asking if they had BBQ sauce - they bring out chicken strip and apologize because they don't have BBQ... Asked for a salad on their menu - "we don't have any salads right now" - wtf?!? Then why is it on your paper menu?!?! Then the beers were actually $5, not $4 so I need an extra $2. I'm try my hardest to be a nice guy and give the benefit of the doubt and a second chance but this was just ridiculous! Way too much wrong for me to stay quiet. The 1 star is for the bad ass AC/DC cover band.
(1)Julie D.
Had a breakfast lunch and a Gyro Sandwich. Both were excellent. Baby Boomers Social Club will have an event there January 10th in the Ballroom. More later.
(3)Thomas B.
The recent shooting is not the establishments fault. The recent measures of restricing rest room use is understandable because of the max line. I have never had a problem with any service. There are poker machines and otb wagering. Most of the undesirables are from the nearby green line. The food is not that great, but if there were ethnic greeks cooking food it would be much better. But for a quiet place to gamble, it is probably the best in Portland. But that's not saying much.
(3)Heidi S.
I haven't been to the NCP since 1989. WOW I can't believe it still stands. I got my first and only DUI in that parking lot (dismissed because cab picked me up even though I blew a .22!)...no crime no foul......let's see.... for 2 years I paid my rent from legs, mini skirts and bikini contests...do they not do those now? I bet not too many people have seen the basement LOL...Oh those were the days. I have been in TX for more than 20 yrs and to my SHOCK the NCP was still there...I can't believe it. It had a great layout...too bad the current owners don't know what to do with it. Give it to me...I'd make it hottest club again...!! Woot!!

I was in a nostalgic mood tonight and I thought of this place that I used to go to in a while back in my early 20s. (I'm not 50 yet but I like named my good ol days as my early 20's). This place called New Copper Penny. It's a dance club with a restaurant on the side. I used to go there with my friends. It wasn't a five stars dance club. It's more like in the middle between divey and not divey... They played all kind of music from AC/DC Shook me all night long to Kelis My Milkshake to the techno version of Bryan Adam's - Heaven... Anyway, so I googled this place tonight and turned out to be now the restaurant is specialized in Greek-American and apparently the new word for Restaurant in Greek-American is Restaraunt...according to their index page... New Copper Penny was a part of my early 20's. I'm so glad I closed that chapter of my life...(still I'm not 50 years old...)
