The club opened in January 1941 at 10 East 60th Street in New York City. Many entertainers made their debuts at the Copacabana and helped to develop the unparallel reputation. The Copacabana was originally operated as a supper club with the menu reflected the Latin-American theme and exceptional service.  The Copa was known as one of the only supper clubs in New York which actually served food equal to that served in the top restaurants in town. In keeping with the trends of the time, in the mid-1970s, the Copa became a discothèque. In 1992, the club was moved from its original location of over 50 years, to 617 West 57th Street. In 2001, the club was forced to move a third time to West 34th Street and Eleventh Avenue. In June 2007, the club was closed again. It is with great excitement that the Copacabana reopened in its fourth location in Times Square with three floors including a revival of the original commitment to exceptional food with a restaurant on the second floor, the Copacabana Supper Club with Chef Alex Garcia, a live music and club venue and a fourth floor retractable rooftop space with views of the city no matter the season.
