Here, Frank Sinatra celebrated the crowning of his pal, Academy Award-winning composer Jimmy Van Heusen, as the honorary mayor. It wasn’t until they started digging through historical archives that they uncovered a story that stretched back to the original 1957 Copper Room. However, up to that point, they had only known the bar as Wine & Roses and as the Red Baron, a favorite hangout of country rock singer Gram Parsons who liked to order pitchers of margaritas for himself. “We always wanted to do something much more local for the community and that led us to look for places,” Cheong says. Since the French brothers live in Pioneertown, they looked to create a respite for locals, away from tourist-overrun bars. “It was important because it’s one of the only hospitality food and beverage businesses here that had such an incredible history,” says Mike French. Design and development company Life and Times (brothers Mike and Matt French and partner/lead designer Cheong) had just finished their Pioneertown projects, the Red Dog Saloon and the Pioneertown Motel, when they decided to resurrect the historic airport venue.
“All that combined and you’re going to be transported somewhere else, either literally on an airplane or in your mind.” More Than Just an Airport BarĮven though the original Copper Room first opened in 1957, it went through many iterations-from The Red Baron Steakhouse in the ’70s to Wine & Roses in the late ’80s to the short-lived Touchdown Bar & Grill-before returning as a swinging destination spot today. “You have the sweeping views out to the airport runway and the mountains, and you have this low-slung 1950s architecture,” says The Copper Room’s lead designer Eric Cheong.
Plus, it’s one of the few airport bars that doesn’t require a boarding pass, and it will instantly transport visitors to another era. Not only does it sport a relaxed vibe with nary a harried traveler to be found, but the food and drinks are worth writing home about. The recently opened Copper Room in the Yucca Valley Airport is technically an airport bar, but it’s unlike any other. | Photo by Belathée Photography arrow arrow Food: burgers, Lousiana Gulf shrimp, artichoke and spinach dip, marinated cucumbers, and steak. | Photo by Belathée Photography Cocktails: Holly's Gin Martini, Dusty & Dirty Vodka Martini, Old Fashioned, and Jet Pilot. | Photo by Belathée Photography At night the firepit on the patio is a popular spot.
