Copper Common

What Copper Common does

Copper Common is a natural wine bar and restaurant located at 111 E. Broadway in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, operating as part of the CO Hospitality group, which also owns Copper Onion (New American restaurant) and The Daily (coffee and bakery). The establishment serves adult patrons aged 21 and over, offering a curated selection of natural wines, craft cocktails, apertivi, local beer, oysters, and small plates designed for sharing in an intimate, refined atmosphere. Operating hours run from 5PM to midnight Sunday through Thursday and 5PM to 1AM on Friday and Saturday, with food service ending at 11PM (midnight on weekends) and drinks available through close.

The business operates a single physical location with no delivery or multi-unit footprint, and runs a seasonal late-night food window sub-brand called Hot Buns that serves burgers and buns during warmer months. The technology stack is minimal and entirely third-party: Resy handles online reservations and Toasttab supports gift card sales and point-of-sale operations. There is no proprietary technology, mobile app, or AI/ML capability. Marketing is conducted organically through an active Instagram presence featuring cocktail launches, wine drops, and bartender profiles, supplemented by word-of-mouth within the Salt Lake City hospitality scene.

Revenue is generated primarily through on-premise food and beverage sales, with a secondary stream from gift card purchases via Toasttab. The customer base consists of walk-in and reservation-based individual adult consumers seeking natural wines, craft cocktails, and a late-night social dining experience. The business is privately held, locally owned and operated under CO Hospitality, with no disclosed external investment, public listing, or expansion plans beyond its existing Salt Lake City footprint.

• Ten Bells: Iconic natural wine and small plates bar in NYC's Lower East Side. Direct comparable in concept (natural wine, small plates, intimate neighborhood bar atmosphere).
• Copper Onion: Sister restaurant under CO Hospitality in Salt Lake City serving New American fare with craft cocktails and wine. Direct comparable as it shares parent company, downtown SLC footprint, and overlapping beverage program philosophy.
• Piper Down: Salt Lake City pub with a wide beer list and casual food menu. Comparable as a neighborhood SLC bar competing for similar after-work and weekend social occasions.
• Bar X: Well-known craft cocktail bar in Salt Lake City with a similar speakeasy-adjacent, intimate atmosphere. Direct competitor for the same 21+ cocktail-enthusiast customer in the SLC market.
• The Bayou: Long-running SLC beer, cocktail, and live-music venue. Comparable as an established SLC nightlife bar competing for similar late-night patron traffic.
• The Daily: Third CO Hospitality concept in Salt Lake City focused on coffee, tea, pastries, and grab-and-go meals. Comparable as a portfolio sibling that demonstrates CO Hospitality's multi-concept operating model and shared customer base.

Broad incumbents
