💧 Water Shutoff & Opening Update

As crews continue working on the waterlines tomorrow, water service will be temporarily shut off in Aurora.

We are currently planning to open @ 1:00 tomorrow.

Depending on when water service is restored and any required flushing or other precautions, our opening time may shift earlier or later.

👉 Stay tuned right here for the latest updates on our opening time.

Thank you for your patience as the crews continue making improvements to our streets! 🚧

🚧 Construction Calls for Custom Cocktails 🍹

The streets may be a little torn up, but we’re making the best of it with some cheeky new Construction Drink Specials! 😂

🔄 The Roundabout…Strong. Very strong. Much like the opinions around town about the actual roundabout😏

🛑The Stop Sign…Because sometimes you just need to stop and have a drink.

🦺 The Safety Vest…Bright, noticeable & probably more fun than actual safety gear.

🚧 The Road Block…Much easier to get around than the real ones.

🪏The Excavator…Dig into this fall themed one while they dig up Main Street.

So weave your way through the cones, follow the detours and come find us at the Copper Nickel!

And seriously, thank you for making the extra effort to get here. We appreciate every single one of you who navigates the construction maze to support us ♥️

🍎🥃 The Excavator
Perfect for fall sipping while watching the construction action…crisp apple Loon Juice, spicy ginger, bourbon, & a refreshing little bite. $8

Construction may have Main Street torn up, but we’re making a delicious mess of our own at the Copper Nickel! 😋

🔥 🚧 Main Street Meltdown Fries
A double order of fries piled high with creamy white queso, buffalo sauce, crushed tortilla chips, bacon bits, and fresh green onion. It’s messy. It’s cheesy. It’s absolutely worth navigating the construction for. $12

🍑🌶️ Peach Pepper Jam Burger
A juicy ⅓-lb beef burger topped with provolone, crispy bacon, our sweet-and-spicy peach pepper jam, and fresh lettuce. Sweet. Savory. A little kick. SO good. $18

Make your way through the corn maze…we mean downtown, and reward yourself 😉 The roads may be under construction…but your appetite doesn’t have to be.

Jaxon isn’t just a great kid, he’s one of our own. He works as a Poor Gary’s pizza cook with us at the Copper Nickel in Aurora & anyone who has had the chance to know him, knows what an all-around wonderful young man he is.

Jaxon & his family are facing an incredibly difficult journey & this is our opportunity to rally around them & show them just how much support they have here at home.

Mark your calendars for November 14th from 2:00 to 6:00 at the Biwabik Pavilion for Jaxon’s benefit. Come enjoy a meal, take part in the raffles, listen to some music, get a picture with Santa, and most importantly, help lift up Jaxon and his family ♥️

Every plate purchased, every raffle ticket, every donation, every share, and every person who walks through those doors makes a difference.
