“They get to spend two to three hours listening to live music or going to a comedy show.
“There’s nothing better than bringing entertainment and taking people from having one of their worst days – divorce or having job/career problems – to one of their best,” Bachkoff says. The goal is, naturally, to make money with CB Live and Bachkoff’s other properties. Our stage is the backdrop of the location where it sits.” “We want to learn about it, embrace it and bring it into the venue. “We want to be part of the community up north,” Bachkoff adds. All our other properties are very community-driven and family-oriented.” The city itself thrives on the out-of-town traveling business person. “Downtown Phoenix is a great spot for us,” Handelsman says. It really speaks across every aspect of the venue.”Ĭopper Blues staff is perfectly happy with CityScape. It’s going to be embraced by an amazing food and beverage program. “It embraces the art of musicians and comedians. “It’s modeled after the renovations we did at the downtown Copper Blues, in terms of the look and feel,” he says. Ryan Handelsman, marketing and business development director for CB Live, says there are similarities between the new room and Copper Blues CityScape. “When you’re picking locations, one of the most important things is the relationship you’ll have with your landlord, which is Vestar.” “We were approached by Vestar and I really loved the people from there,” he says. Besides Caliendo, performances are slated by Marlon Wayans (December 9), Broadway Princess Party (December 12), Andrew Dice Clay (December 15), Pretty Things Vaudeville Show (January 26) and Friends! The Musical (April 23 and April 24).īachkoff says he and Vestar, Desert Ridge Marketplace’s management, are a perfect match. The live side can be used as a traditional rowed theater, comedy club or standing concert space. The music, comedy and multiuse venue is on the other side. The menus were not available at press time. A creative craft cocktail menu is punctuated by draft taps that feature wine, cocktails and beer. The kitchen features chef-driven comfort food favorites, with a healthy twist from 11 a.m. On one side is the in-the-round restaurant with a 270-degree view of the stage. The building space was formerly Rock Bottom Brewery.ĬB Live is a restaurant and venue, separated into two sides by a retractable, soundproof sky wall. Originally scheduled to open in November with David Spade, the 11,000-square-foot CB Live, across from Barnes & Noble Booksellers, is touting its first show as Frank Caliendo on Saturday, December 8. This reminds me of back home, and I felt it would be a great opportunity.”
I grew up in the Coral Springs area (of Florida). “It feels more like home up north, rather than being in a downtown area. “I’m really excited to be up north,” Bachkoff says. Hoping for the same success, he is unveiling Copper Blues Live in Phoenix’s Desert Ridge Marketplace in early December. Joel Bachkoff knew he had a jewel in Copper Blues and Stand Up Live when he opened the venues in CityScape nearly eight years ago. Copper Blues brings elements of community to Desert Ridge venue
