About Me


Welcome to command center for The World Famous Copper Rocket Pub! The Rocket was founded in 1995 with one purpose in mind: to give Central Florida a unique alternative to the overcrowded and predictable downtown scene. Located in "beautiful and historic" downtown Maitland, Florida, only minutes from downtown Orlando (and seconds away from Historic Eatonville,) the Rocket specializes in bringing Central Floridians and out-of-towners in the know the best beers from around the world and the finest Jukebox selections in a super cool European pub atmosphere. Not limited to malt libations, we serve some seriously tasty grub to satisfy those pesky hunger cravings and offer an in-house catering menu for special events. Voted Best Bar after work and Best Juke Box in the the "prestigious" Orlando Weekly readers poll, the Copper Rocket has firmly established itself as a great place to hang out and be yourself! Looking for a great menu of over 100 tasty domestic and imported bottled and tap beers, good grub, great local live music and an abundance of free parking? You've found the answer! Thanks for stoppin' by. Pull up a stool, grab a mug and enjoy the ride ROCKET STYLE!
