Copacubana in Norwich

The best place for brazilian food and music, all music amazing. Very good food and cocktails 🫶🫶🫶

The owner is really nice and friendly, very inviting. Gave great recommendations and kept coming to check on us. Great vibe and food.

Great food , amazing service very welcoming

Thank you Issac and Anthony for the fantastic service !!! Would highly recommend this bar !!!

Found this place by chance when visiting Norwich and my parents wanted to try some Tapas. We are probably not their regular customer (with a 2 year old and grandparents) but made to feel very welcome by Anthony who was a delight throughout and incredibly helpful. The place is small with a bar and two small seating areas for food. It has an authentic Brazilian beach bar style, a little rough round the edges (by design) and full of character. It made with i was 21 again and could go backpacking. Tapa's menu is small but excellent quality and very well priced. The portions look small but are very filling. Would highly recommend

I like this place. Good drinks and food is very good

Just had a lovely evening dinner with the family and was lucky to have Anthony as our server - he was polite, attentive and accommodating - nothing was too much trouble (he even chased us down the road to give me my straw I left behind!) Food was absolutely delicious and value for money. Couldn't recommend it enough and would definitely go back again.

I love this bar!! Best cocktails in Norwich by far!!!

Always a great atmosphere, the best cocktails in Norwich from talented mixologists, love this place, and now they serve fab Brazilian food, we tried it and were not disappointed, roasted chorizo, patatas bravas, meatballs, croquettes were all fresh and tasty, another great night out.

Food was amazing so flavourful, initially the portions look small don’t let it deceive you was very filling. Cocktails (pistachios) was amazing, would come again for food or drink only. Great service also.

We last visited this bar over 2 years ago, and it’s like coming home! A warm welcome awaits you, and the expert bar staff put on a great show, mixing cocktails! Laura and Alex have this place decorated with an individual style, crazy, eclectic, but it works, creating a relaxing, chilled atmosphere that doesn’t fail to make your heart sing. It was so good to visit again, thanks from Gary and Lorna, until the next time, adios amigos!

No food after 9. Great music and friendly and capable staff. More affordable drinks would have been nice, but all Brazilian cocktails are outstanding.

Very disappointed. The service was terrible, first the drinks came separately. Then we had bread & garlic dip, the bread came & went cold as the garlic dip didn’t come until the end of the meal. The tapas were microwaved & the meatballs weren’t very hot. It was very cold in there, & the place didn’t look very clean . The best point is our very friendly helpful waitress.

Lovely laid back bar with such a friendly and kind proprietor who looks out for all his guests and remembers the regulars. Great drinks and music. Room to sit and chat, room to dance. Staff are skilled and friendly.

We found this place at lunchtime after looking at other places that were full or shut. It was perfect. We had a delicious cocktail and some very tasty tapas which was just what we fancied. After seeing a gig that evening we took our friends back here for some more cocktails and dancing. We met Alex at lunchtime who was very lovely and later on was the DJ. We shall definitely return.

Brilliant food and great vibe. The cocktails are amazing and a menu to keep you busy, I loved the coconut daiquiri! Great service and lovely host. A lovely birthday treat.

It's one of the best bars in Norwich! If you like Latino music?! That's the place! Food is really good and top service!

What a great find for tapas. Limited menu but the dishes we had were really nice. The owner is so nice, well I think it was the owner who served us. So very friendly and chatty. The restaurant is shabby chic and has lots of personality with wooden walls and quirky decor. I loved it and will defo be back. The cocktails are so nice!!

Does what is says on the tin. Cocktail bar with a good choice and good service. No reason not to pop in for one.

Isaac you are the best! We love you! Thank you! He is a credit to your bar!

Liked the look of the menu- not extensive but enough on it for some variety so we booked a table and so glad we did!! Food was delicious, plenty of flavour and portion sizes for the tapas were good without being too much! Service was excellent- speedy and not overly fussy. We also got chatting to the owner (I think) who was friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. The free birthday shot for my wife was an added bonus!!!

Good for a boogie. Mixed age crowd and good vibes. Manger (Maybe owner) seems like a fun guy - I'm sure he also doubles up as the DJ!

Great place, staff so friendly!

Lovely cocktails and friendly staff

We only had drinks not food, however, the food we saw and smelt and looked lovely! The staff were lovely, friendly and attentive.

Great place to have a dance and enjoy with friends. Definitely recommend it.

It was only by chance we stumbled upon Copa Cubana, but I'm glad we did! Great authentic Latin tapas! Great service! Simple menu but perfectly executed dishes! Great experience all round. Alex is a top bloke too. Thank you to all at Copa Cubana 👍

Really fun place for drinks. Owners are so friendly and welcoming. Cocktails were really delicious and they’ll make anything according to taste. Highly recommend to try Coxinha!!! Would definitely be returning again one days for drinks.. try the Pina Colada- was delicious!! Thanks guys.

I drank so many shots it could have been bad or good, I don't remember 🤔

Cocktails was brilliant definitely recommended this place 👌

Great cocktails and a willing host

Great bar for an authentic Brazilian bar experience. Great cocktails with quirky decor. My only suggestion would be to improve their mocktail selection as that seems to have decreased for some reason.

I always enjoy visiting this bar, the staff are very friendly and know their stuff. Cocktails are well made and reasonably priced.

Loved it. Four ladies on a pre-Christmas big one, couldn't have found a better place to finish off the night. Tunes and cocktails were amazing, and the bar and door staff were incredible. All the punters were friendly and fun. Good times!

Excellent Brazilian food, nice beer, friendly service and a good atmosphere. Recommended.

Lovely vibe in here, lots of dancing and loved the rum

Love this place!!! Laura and Carlos are such great hosts!!! Will be coming back!!

Couldn't have been more welcoming... Would recommend to anyone!

This place is Great, delicious food & cocktails also great atmosphere,. staff very friendly. The only thing was we had to wait a long time for food to be served . However I do recommend it!

This has to be the worst food and service we had all ever had. After 10 minutes of ordering we got our drinks, despite there being no more than 5 people in there. After 1/2hr we had to ask where our appetisers were - olives, tortilla chips & guacamole- nothing to cook !! After 45 minutes the food came out & what a disappointment. The whole lot was bought in cheap food, calamari croquettes meatballs halumi prawns chorizo. Just all very poor. The staff seemed oblivious to the fact we had been waiting so long for food and they didn't even know what we ordered. For the fact there were 5 staff behind the bar they were standing around doing nothing.

Fantastic place for a few cocktails. The team are very friendly and the drinks are great!

Awesome place. Great atmosphere and the waitress/hostess was fantastic. The food was lovely vey nice home cooked and fresh. The head chef came out and spoke to us after we finished eating, he was very nice and friendly. Would highly recommend this little hidden gem, and will defo come back! Great value for money as well!

Great atmosphere fabulous cocktails topped off with friendly professional service what more could you ask? Reasonably priced to next time we’ll be back to try the food too! Thankyou

What a great little friendly place this is! My gf and I just came for drinks (already eaten) - but will certainly try the food next time. Such a great atmosphere. One of the customers was so impressed with the Chirizo - that he said it made him want to dance?! I think I'll be ordering the 'Dancing Chirizo' next time! Great vibe... at 21:30 the music ramps up and Laura showed off her Salsa dancing and persuaded others to join. A really good night. Will certainly be back.

Nice and friendly place to visit good fun great people staff are excellent and very welcoming

Great place, staff was so lovely will differently returning again.

Lovely cocktails and atmosphere. Music playing quiet enough to speak amongst friends.

Nestled between Aroma and All Bar One it would be easy to walk by but, where is that Cuban style music emanating from. The music makes you look and then a hallway draws you in as if walking into a friends house and that is how welcome you will feel. The interaction with bar staff and owner makes you want to stay, They are not going through the motions, it is a genuine welcome and chat if you want, or be left to your own devices. A wonderful little place that when you leave you will dance out of.

Amazing food and an amazing venue! First time to Norwich and we had a amazing Brazilian / cuban tapas at the Copa Cubana restaurant. The staff were amazing too and Laura was soo nice and friendly. Made our meal so nice! When you go you have to try their cocktails they are best cocktails in Norwich..... sooooo good! Would 100% recommend to anyone to go and enjoy your meal and drinks here!

Avoid. They took our drinks away when we went to the bathroom and then they laughed at us. 👎

Not the best place to go if you are part of the LGTBQIA+ community and don't want to be misgendered

Excellent customer service, the staff and owners all extremely friendly, welcoming and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, will absolutely return and cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for a great experience.

We adore this place. Such a wonderful atmosphere and fantastic cocktails.

Wow can't believe this place is goo and a drinks is nice strong

A nightmare taking into account they pretend to be latinos when they are actually white people — as if being from Cuba were super cool and “trendy” — no way guys this behaviour is just embarrasing it ignores years of opression... #StopCulturalAppropriation✊

Terrible service. Over priced drinks and disgusting toilets. Nothing good to say about this place!!!

Nice atmosphere but poor service, overcharged on Saturday night. After sending message and receiving no response I feel customer service could be improved. Bar supervisor tried both cocktails (which were the same drink) and told our server who made the cocktails they 'ok but over shaken'.

The best music in the area, good service as well and you can find different beers and alcoholic drinks from the typical ones

It was a very nice atmosphere and the staff were very nice and accommodating

Had a very nice mug of tea and delicious pork sandwich. Very nice friendly waitress called Laura came and chatted with me - she is from Lincolnshire like myself.

Four of us went last night and had an amazing time. We had reserved a table to make sure we had a seat. The cocktails were delicious and reasonably priced. The music is what made the evening. Everyone was so friendly and I even learned some latino moves. Saved this place as one of my favourites. I had the biggest smile on my face all night enjoyed myself so much.

Excellent atmosphere and great customer service 👍😉

Great place for feeling happy and wicked cocktails and Tapas

Wonderful food and incredible drinks! With a wonderful chef that came out to see how we enjoyed everything and gave excellent recommendations!!

Amazing food absolutely on the spot of being South American Latin tastes, to die for cocktails and great prices the best place for pre food and drinks, the chef is from Brazil so definitely knows his stuff. I will be back here again very soon and I can’t wait. Ps. The Margarita is made with real limes and is the best in Norwich.

You can ask for non-alcoholic drink too :)

We had booked a table at Revolution and if was so awful we left. We were looking for somewhere to eat that would cater for a gluten and dairy intolerance. We wandered past Copa Cubana and there was a lovely smiling lady outside of the restaurant who we asked about the above. The lady explained that her husband was the chef and had cooked for her when she was gluten and dairy intolerant and that we would be looked after, and we were. The cocktails were fabulous and the food really good. We were made to feel very comfortable and really well looked after. A really lovely evening. Thank you all so much.

Love this place! Even though I hate Tequila, they do flavored ones too! Staff so helpful. Cannot recommend more!!!!!

Great little venue, lovely staff, the owner was out talking to patrons, and chatted to us for a while, lovely lady, had a great time, would recommend

Excellent cocktails and tapas, friendly and attentive staff and fabulous Salsa lessons. A great venue. Decor and TV loop takes you away to sun and sea. Highly recommended.

Such a great time learning to salsa. Laura and the team are great at teaching us new moves and everyone is really friendly. Love the music too. Would highly recommend anyone looking to learn some salsa and have an enjoyable time.

Awesome salsa classes! Laura and Matt are such good teachers; each week we learn something new and I walk away feeling more confident. I love that the classes are in small groups and we move at an achievable pace each week. I always leave class...

I was no surprise that Laura and the team made us feel welcome and the subsequent service was perfect .The decor and “feel “ of Copacubanna is first class and it wouldn’t have spoiled the night if the food wasn’t ! It just so happened that everything on the menu was excellent . Thank- you Laura ,we will be back for more Salsa 💃 and top Tapas

Three of us ate in the new restaurant upstairs. The decor is great, the tapas was delicious and the staff were all really friendly. Also good value and best of all, it is not a chain. Recommended

The staff are so inviting and add to the unique decoration of the restaurant and bar, it's like being on holiday ! The food is scrummy too, we left with full stomachs : )

Wow! 🤩 We had such a great night here! 💃 Great food, amazing cocktails and the most wonderful staff! So attentive and friendly….went above and beyond! We can’t wait to go back!! Highly recommend this wonderful little gem of a place! 🤩 Ola, you and...

What a great evening! Delicious food and really good quality cocktails this bar has so much character and it’s been beautifully decorated the restaurant is so cozy! Will definitely return here for more tapas and cocktails

love copa and the staff here, always have so much fun! love the brazilian strength cocktails and tapas dishes, great atmosphere especially when it’s busy Xx

Wow!! The food and service was soo good! The most amazing cocktails and staff were so attentive. Definitely recommend and looking forwards to coming back ☺️ Well done Ola and team, your launch night was top notch!!

Had a really great time here - less known than some other cocktail bars in Norwich and well worth a visit. The sushi sour was particularly good. Big thanks to the staff who were helpful and understanding when one of the group was very worse...

Always have a lovely time here Staff ready to please an advise on new things . Super cocktails and great way to socialise with food New upstairs restaurant opening soon to further enhance the Cuban cool

Food amazing and great value, cocktails absolutely top notch. Staff are amazing and the whole vibe is excellent

Great Cocktail bar in the heart of Norwich

Great music and good service wonderful atmosphere nice place to just chill out try it.

Awesome bar, owner took time to chat, good atmosphere and great drinks!

Weird vibes. Feels like the type of place middle aged newly divorced women with a self acclaimed "wild side" would feel right at home. The people working there just shake up stuff and make drinks for like 15 minutes while not actually serving anyone and the music is like something you'd hear from a semi deserted Spanish fairground. This place is one power cut away from being a Mediterranean themed haunted house.

Me and my freinds left are drinks unattended for 1 minute and the bar staff took them away. AVOID

Lovely cocktails and good tunes

My partner had a lovely time here for what started out as a chilled drink and it slowly got busier as the night went on. Very friendly staff and happy to cater to any needs with regards to drinks etc!

Nice and friendly staff, and lovely environment. Good music and a lot of cocktail options. Good food too.

Great cocktails great service - a must if in Norwich

Very friendly staff, great latino feel.

Really great little bar with an authentic feel. Great food, and drinks, excellent value for money. Had a non-alcoholic cocktail (I was driving) which was exceptional. All the staff really cared about you having a good time, enjoying the food, drink and experience. Highly recommend.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. The cocktails are amazing.

Met with the friendliest service on a night out, will most 100% return. We love the Zombie cocktail. The effort to get us a seat was brilliant, attentative staff

Immaculate people and a beautiful atmosphere. Will be returning when I can! Thanks to everyone here! ❤️

Flirty waiter, seated us quickly and we then ordered a round of drinks. Was lovely. Small order, just a G&T and a Hemingway for myself. Lovely atmosphere and welcoming.

While the cocktails were good, unfortunately that was where the positive experience ended. We ordered food (at £5 a plate) and were served three prawns, some deep fried ‘Cali Mari’ which barely resembled anything close to squid, a ‘Brazilian sausage empanada’ (a frankfurter sausage covered...

Great staff looked after us well

First time out out since lockdown started, Felt very comfortable staff very friendly definitely return just for the banter and obviously cocktails were lush
