The Copper Tap - Omagh in Omagh

Some how they managed to take this review down but I'm reposting it so everyone knows how they treat prospective customers... I bought two tickets to one of the Summer Sessions concerts but I got COVID the day before. I requested a refund on the event ticket app but got no response so I contacted the venue directly. I was told the lady who dealt with refunds was off, but because I bought the tickets over 30 days ago, I probably would not be eligible. This was all before the event and tickets were still on sale! I then tried contacting the venue through the event ticket app after the event and I never got a response! Not even so much as a discount voucher. £60 down the drain. I will never go to a concert here again!

Had the Asian beef salad as starter, which was excellent and burger for main course. Not a crumb was left. Rest of our group loved their cheesecake desserts. O'connors stout was also very good. Very pleased with our meal

The food here is usually on point but sometimes can disappoint (the same goes for the cocktails). Consistency needs to be improved. The staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is lovely; the place has so much charm! Also, the bar has a stout exclusive to The Copper Tap, which is the best I've ever tasted.

Went here Friday 27th October. Absolutely stunning food. Every bite was mouth watering. The staff are amazingly friendly. Highly recommended. Will be coming back

We visited here for the first time Sunday 22nd October because we were in the area at the Gortin park. We had a booking for 4:30 and arrived around 4:25. The restaurant wasn’t too busy only a few tables occupied. The wait we endured was not acceptable. It was 5 to 5 before anyone took drink order which was a jug of blackcurrant juice, we asked for this to be made up strong - it was extremely weak we had to ask for it to be topped up. Again the wait to order and get food was very long and the restaurant was freezing cold. The food was exceptional. The soup was beautiful and the turkey and ham dinner was also very nice although more veg would be great a very small bowl between 2 people. We would have loved to have had dessert but the wait was just too long. There was adequate staff to the number of diners they were just extremely slow and no one seemed to have a role. There was no senior staff it seemed either, no one in charge. We left at 6pm with no dessert as we had a long drive home. We probably would return if the service was improved.

Service bad. food cold. cigarette buts all over the steps at entrance and in toilet urinals.l lovely looking bar but needs better management

Was here with a group Flavour of Omagh. We went here for the main meal, we had gammon in a mustard and mushroom sauce with mash and a mixed veg, it was delicious. Staff were fantastic. Will def be back.

Phoned 4 times before answering. Told to come on. Reception was very poor/cold, very stand off-ish.` Drinks ordered, never arrived. Sunday roast arrived with no veg? When asked about, waitress said - sorry - do you want veg? Meat, gravy, mash - cold-ish. Roast pots - very hot, veg turns up half way through dinner - cold-ish, very limp. Drinks turn up towards end. Best bit was when the waitress cleaned the adjoining table and showered us (and our dinner) with whatever chemical they were cleaning the table with. We never ate after that. Weirdly, we paid without complaining but there didn't seem to be anyone available who gave a care and to be honest, we just wanted out with the least hassle. Had one negative experience before and don't know why it closed but had decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. Not for me, unfortunately.

We stopped in today for Sunday lunch - it was delicious from start to finish 👌

Booked 2 weeks in advance (on line) for my mums 75th birthday. A few days before, I was sent an email to confirm the booking. I confirmed and thought that was it. We turned up at the venue and the restaurant wasn't open. We went to the bar and said we had a reservation. I was told that they tried phoning me all day to cancel the reservation. This was utter manure. I received no calls from them that day. My phone was always in reception. No excuses. Ruined my Mums birthday dinner as we couldn't get in anywhere else. Don't be fooled by these cowboys. Even the barman didn't wait to speak to us, as conveniently he hid out the back. They have been advertising for new chefs all week prior on fakebook. As fake as their menu and their mystery food.

Visited for the Ash Concert Summer Sessions - great venue and great atmosphere

Giving it 5 stars only because of the awesome outdoor concerts, this is really needed for young people. The Council cannot do anything if the concert stops before 11pm since your within the legal noise regulation. Please continue to offer this much needed concert venue.

My wife and I had the the pleasure of going to the Copper Tap on Saturday 27th May 2023, On entering the Restaurant we were treated with respect and courtesy. After been served our drinks we were given time to look at the menus and decided to choose the Fine Dinning Menu. This proved to be a great choice and what an experience it was for us both. From the start which was a small wheaten loaf and it was completely out of this world, the remaining five courses just got better. The standard of the food was complemented by the service of the staff through out the evening. It would be very remiss of us both not to mention Zoe, Claire and the barman(apologies did not get his name) for making this night for us a fabulous experience. We would recommend everyone to give the Copper Tap a try. Roley & Jo.

Unfortunately this place is not for us anymore. Lukewarm soup and the lack of fresh veg on a Sunday lunch menu was disappointing, which was added to by the lack of anything by way of garnish with the steak(£6 supplement) and the cheesecake, by no stretch of the imagination was cheesecake as I was able to pour it from the glass. When paying the bill we were told they couldn't remote the price of the cakecake from the menu as told to us at the table when I informed the waited, but as it was a 3 course special and it would then have cost us more for her to charge for two courses, however she did report to the chef that his cheesecake didn't set and apologised.

We popped in for Sunday lunch today - it was fantastic from the starters to the dessert and the service was excellent ! Really tasty well presented food - not your average !

Having heard so much about this place I decided to check it out with a friend on a Saturday evening at 5.30pm. We had high expectations especially with the strong social media presence and 'luxury' branding. Unfortunately, we were let down on multiple occasions: 1. We visited the bar and not the restaurant - there are two seperate menus. The bar menu has three starters - one of which was unavailable (chicken wings) - hugely disappointing at 5.30pm on a Saturday. 2. Of the 8 or so beers on draught, three were out of stock. 3. The football showing on the TV screens was buffering for a large part of the game, making it largely unwatchable. Streaming football in a bar in 2023 - really? 4. There was no toilet seat in the men's cubicle, meaning if you wanted to sit down, you would have to sit on the toilet bowl. 5. The side order of 'Homemade Fries' at a cost of £5 was no more than standard chunky oven chips you could buy at a supermarket. For five pounds! 6. The Panna Cotta dessert was not set, and basically was just liquid cream served in a small ramekin with honeycomb and chocolate pieces on top. Disgusting. 7. The Americano was served with white sugar and not brown sugar, as is customary. 8. The bill was wrong when we received it and included three extra drinks that we did not order. It was remedied when queried. I simply could not believe that almost every aspect of our visit to The Copper Tap had some notable fault. Very surprising for somewhere that is clearly trying hard to be at the top of the local hospitality scene. I cannot take this restaurant seriously and believe there is major work yet to be done before it can be considered a good option. I'm aware of the wholesale changes of staff and direction once every few months but if they just focused on making good food then it would be a start.

5 of us ordered steak, and it was not great. Could hardly get it cut and it was very hard to chew and swallow ordered pepper sauce and they forgot about it £24 for a meal I did not enjoy

Great spot, so good to see a venue like this in Omagh, providing food and entertainment that wouldn’t be out of place in Belfast. Food is delicious, service is efficient and friendly, and there always seems to be a buzz in the bar at the weekends.

Superb menu. The restaurant has reinvented itself & the food was fabulous quality & excellent value. I had the best chocolate dessert I've ever tasted - a true adult dessert.

Superb Sat night meal!!Food amazing!!6 course menu,very reasonably priced.New chef and owners!!Ambiance magical!!Every course delivered promptly, variety offered!Faultess!!Service exemplary!!Will be returning for a dining experience to savour!!Well done Restuarant VI6!!Omagh should be glad!!

Very disappointed Lady greeted us in a wrinkled , stained Disney hoodie didn't get any better after that 😒

The food and drink where extremely good,very tasty. The portions where on the small side but to be expected with a tasting menu,a very enjoyable evening had here ,well worth a visit .

Good restaurant upstairs. Tasty and well presented. but every course served tepid. Music downstairs jive a thon awful

My wife and I visited The Copper Tap late one Sunday afternoon in search of something to eat. Upon entering the premises we went upstairs to the restaurant only to find it closed and being cleaned....at 5.30p.m? We were informed the bar was serving food, so we went back down the stairs to the bar area. Upon entering we found a dull, soulless place and twelve patrons. The young waitress provided us with menus, which we duly perused...with difficulty. Tiny text housed in slightly textured A4 pockets. Perhaps it is a ploy to stop you being able to read the prices. Starters and desserts averaged at about £6.95. My wife and I ordered the curry for our main course, which at £17.95 was actually the cheapest main on the menu. Everything else was £22.95 plus. Pub dining in a rural town? A couple of days previous we had dined in a busy restaurant in Dublin, where the main courses were all around €18. As we dined two ladies and two young teenagers came into the bar. They studied the menu, but having seen the prices they then fled without ordering anything. We enjoyed our three courses, before being presented with the bill...the grand sum of £72. Was our meal nice? Yes. Was it exceptional? Definitely not. Will we be back? Not any time soon. An overpriced pub meal in a bar lacking ambience and patrons.

Worse food I’ve ever had. Visited here for a special occasion birthday and was so disappointed with food and so expensive would never be back.

Came here for a meal and catch up with friends pre Christmas and the place was jumping with parties. Very noisy, but good atmosphere. Despite being busy the service was prompt and efficient. Though as the bar and restaurant were busy we couldn't have pints of Guinness. Food was good. I had surf and turf with samphire. Steak cooked as requested and very tasty.

We had an absolutely brilliant night at the Christmas Secret Special Set. Fantastic music, lovely warm pub with modern decor and very clean surroundings. Credit has to be given to this Omagh pub for thinking outside the box and going above and beyond to provide a high quality experience for customers 🎶

Such a disappointment as the meal was booked by me to celebrate the amazing friends I am fortunate to have…..same time last week I was in ICU. First disappointment was the menu as it was lunch as opposed to a la carte. I had booked online and had not checked. Food was ok with some glitches but the service was dreadful and the staff less than attentive. Temperature outside was -2C and when a number of us said we were cold there was no offer of a heater. At 4 pm restaurant was virtually empty and an outside door was open because it was more important to remove bottles from behind the bar than offer customers some comfort. Booking of 8 for 3 45pm. Only 2 starters ordered, one of which was fine but chef does not appear to know how to prepare a Caesar salad, as ours was presented with iceberg lettuce and hard boiled egg but very little chicken, no croutons, no anchovy dressing or shaved Parmesan. Mains were served around 5 pm and were satisfactory but we had to ask to have table cleared as by now the cold was unbearable. Half was done straightaway, second half 20 minutes later. Dessert /coffee was ordered and the coffee was served 15 minutes before dessert which had to be asked for again. Cheeseboard to be shared arrived with spoons, requested cutlery and 1 knife was offered. We ate as fast as physically possible just to get home to defrost. What could and should have been a pleasant experience turned into a test of endurance. The staff lacked focus and guidance and were concentrating on events yet to happen later in the day. Obviously our custom was not sufficiently valuable to nurture for future occasions. Rest assured that we will not trouble you again.

Exceptional. First time at The Cooper Tap (party of 4) and from entry to exit, everything about the venue is excellent. Three courses, with drinks; and the food is faultless, as is the service. Highly recommend the chicken wings (starter), sure and turf with sides of veg and champ (main), and the cheesecake - although, hindsight, I should have opted for the apple and blackberry crumble (dessert). 5 stars isn’t enough, can’t wait to return.

I went here on a Saturday night for a 6.30pm sitting for food. I was with a couple of friends. We were served by a waitress called Samira. My most outstanding memory of the place was how unfriendly and brusque the staff were. Every interaction was short and sharp. It was really strange how abrupt the staff were, I felt like an inconvenience. The food was good, I ordered the burger which was ok. It was all overpriced as well for what and where it was. But it was almost a relief to leave to avoid the staff. I will not be returning any time soon.

Booked in for their Steak Night. The food was simply amazing. Service excellent, great atmosphere and superb value for money. Have returned and will return again.

Visited the Coppertap for the 1st time last night.We had booked for dinner, it didn't disappoint. It is a long time since I have eaten as nice a meal in Omagh. Well done to the Chef and staff. Can I also say that the front of house, bar and waiting staff were excellent. Nice to have such a beautiful place in Omagh, we will definitely be back

Nice decor, pleasant service, above average food but very loud venue.

Visited the copper tap for Sunday lunch. Staff are friendly however food was disappointing. Soup had split and tasted solely of carrot, Short rib tough, the turkey and ham was dry and vegetables provided with our mains not up to par. £14.95 for a Sunday special without a roast potato or Yorkshire pudding is disappointing. We had requested a change in the ice cream flavour which came along the cheesecake, didn’t receive it. Also, there were a lot of flies around whilst we were eating and we could see a filled ashtray filled with water sitting on the table outside the window were our table was situated. We have visited the copper tap previously and thought the food was great, on this occasion too much style over substance.

We went as a family of four. Arrived was excellent throughout. My daughter was vegetarian and the choices were slightly limited and the veg curry was quite strange; smoky almost Mexican! The rest of the food was excellent though and would certainly recommend the steak, it was magnificent! Great restaurant in Omagh and would certainly return.

Mighty spot, first class 👌 This place got Omagh' heart beating again, great entertainment, loved the summer sessions, lovely Laura and Cascada.... 110%

Myself and 4 friends dined here on Sunday 28th August. We each had starters and mains. We all found our food to be excellent, as was the service. After our meal we went to the outdoor venue to listen to Dan McCabe. This was a fantastic experience. There is no other venue locally with these facilities. After the show we went back indoors to the bar, great atmosphere and friendly staff. We all had a fab night and will be back very soon.

Had a brilliant night at Dan Mc Cabe

Took my visitors to dinner this evening and I couldn’t have been happier with the food and service. Brilliant range of choice and every meal delivered to the table was delicious. The service was pretty much perfect. Attentive but not overbearing. All round excellent and a real happiness to see this place in Omagh. I’ll definitely be back.

Had a fantastic afternoon brilliant entertainment staff were excellent. Loved it

Had christening party there today, food was amazing way too much so got little boxes to take home. All the staff were really pleasant and helpful, would highly recommend

We went to Copper Tap on Wednesday 7th July,2022 for my Husbands Birthday, we should have realized that there was something wrong, as there were only 2 people eating, and it was 7.45pm. We ordered our Main Course, my Husband had Lamb which consisted of 2 very small piecies of Lamb, 2 fried new potatoes, 2 small slices of cauliflower fried and some puree. I ordered a Burger with cheese and it came with chips. I tasted my Burger and thought there was a strange taste, so I openpened it and removed the cheese to find a black burnt burger (NOT char grilled as I was told by the Chef.) It was not possible to finish so I told the Waiter and he informed me that the Chef said it was cooked correctly. The chips were 3 times fried, which made them very hard also impossible to eat. The final bill for these two meals was £49..95. We were charged £4.95p for a small bottle of Riverrock water. Also 50p was added for the cheese on the Burger. It was a great dissapointment to us both, and a very bad first experience. I am just so glad we tried it before we took relatives from England & America there. WE WILL NOT BE BACK. One other thing we had 4 flys constantly bothering us as we were trying to eat. Once again a Great Dissapointment.on my Husbands Birthday. I would like to add we have eaten in many Countries of the World, so we have a good idea og Good food.

We called into the Copper Tap on the off change of gettin a table for 2, we were greeted by the beautiful Ramanda, she welcomed us with a lovely smile and a really welcoming attitude, we were shown to our seats given a menu and asked what we would like to drink, a very pleasant young bartender / mixologist served us our drinks, I received my gin the way I like it served and exactly the way it should be served,with all the trimmings,.... we choose our food and we were delighted with the presentation and the flavours in each and every dish....we most certainly will be back again, and all thanks to the wonderful staff especially Ramanda who is a real asset to this restaurant, front of house staff like her are seldom found in local restaurants, we didnt get the rest of the staffs names, maybe it would be an idea to have the staff with a name badge, all in all a very pleasant evening was had on Easter Monday,..until the next time,.. Go raibh maith agat agus beannacht..

Beautiful! So nice to see a modern establishment in Tyrone that wouldn’t look out of place in Dublin or Belfast. From the minute you enter it’s very different to the usual restaurant scene in Tyrone area. Main bar is massive, upstairs restaurant is buzzing on a Saturday evening, great atmosphere. The food was honestly up there with as good as I’ve gotten ever in NI, top class. Burger was excellent quality, risotto was very flavoursome and the dessert was delicious Everything on this menu you would love to try; it’s not the typical boring menu items you see which I love. Will definitely be coming back. It would put you in the mood to go out after!

The staff are top notch. The menu is divine. Atmosphere is perfect. The bar staff is going out of their way to ensure we are having a great time

Absolutely the best dining experience this side of the Bann. Wonderful food, beautiful interior design and great staff.

Had a lovely birthday meal for my mum, she loved it, food was delicious and staff very friendly!

Good atmosphere,food was really good,great presentation,hot and tasty. Service could have been a little better,no cutlery on the table,very slow between drinks orders but staff were very friendly. Great live music,decor was lovely as well and cocktails were tasty too. Great wee spot will def be back 😊

Went on NYE. Staff were great, very quick and attentive during a busy night. Food was beautiful, however we found the portion sizes a little small - perhaps just finer dining than we are used to.

Spectator food and service, highly recommended. Quality of food is divine, speed of service magnificent.

Had a lovely meal with friends in Copper Tap yesterday evening beautiful meal served by lovely staff Food was well presented and price very reasonable would definitely go back there again. 👍👍

Went to the Copper Tap for Sunday lunch. The food was absolutely incredible! Full of flavour, beautifully presented and really good value for money! £21.95 for three courses!!! I was stuffed. The restaurant decor is stunning, and the staff were friendly and polite. Tables are well spaced out so I felt safe and staff wore masks. Can’t fault them I will be back, but maybe two courses will be enough next time lol.

Lovely all round experience. Staff were friendly and attentive and food was lovely. Definitely try their cocktails.

Beautiful venue exactly what Omagh was missing, beautiful food, cocktails and most amazing staff!

Our favourite place in Omagh, Burger on the menu out of this world!

Great night in here for my friends hen party. Stacey was amazing also and really looked after us! Lovely bar 😊

Staff really unfriendly. Many members of staff fail to wear face coverings? Very worrying. Contact tracing was not carried out. Male staff member tending our table spent more time talking to his colleagues and checking his phone than he did taking the time to note down our orders correctly .. Very disappointed and will not be back. Thanks for reply @ the copper tap. I was here last Saturday. I’d be happy to provide more details via email as don’t want to publicly disclose more information on what happened ..

Booked a table for half 8 last Sunday night, got a babysitter landed down and the place was shut so I rang and the man was very apologetic had to close for some reason and said he’d send out a voucher for the mix up which was fair enough, never received no voucher so we won’t be near the place after that very disappointed

The meal was gorgeous and the staff were so polite and friendly would highly recommend

Great food, great service.. made our evening

Very Disapointed , will not be back !

First time here recently and enjoyed the food and atmosphere... I was here with friends on the first weekend of live music and it was just fab to sit on after our meal.

Amazing food well presented Starters where lovely mains delicious and desserts wow I want more

Tasty and filling food that isn't very expensive,I myself got a cream soup starter along with a pint of Smithwicks a burger and chunky chips and another pint and a cup of tea to finish with. Which came to £27.55 + 10% service tip as the staff are friendly and helpful which came to £30.45. Well worth a visit.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ An amazing evening. Service was fantastic from booking to heading home! Many thanks. We’ll def be back!! 🙌

We had a fabulous brunch. Staff lovely and very attentive. Ambiance really nice and relaxing. Plenty to choose from the menu. Our 1st visit since reopening. Really well worth a visit. Will return again .

Bad choice on menu, draughty. Not a great experience

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. The menu is a welcome change to the norm and the chef is amazing.

Excellent service Thank you Cathal

Fantastic food & service, definitely recommend will be back for sure
