50 Best Bars in Colorado Springs

“Thank you everyone so much for yalls support!!!“

“I found this venue to be hospitable. Friendly environment and friendly people.
The stage was just large to accommodate a rock band shown.
The bass player for this band Mrs Nizzbitt, was absolutely amazing.
I was blown away by his talent.“

“There are places you go, and then there are places that feel like home—and this is one of those places for me. From the moment I walk in, I feel safe, comfortable, and completely at ease. It’s become somewhere I genuinely *want* to be, not just somewhere I go.

The space itself is beautiful in a way that’s hard to fully put into words. It’s clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together—every detail makes a difference. There’s an energy here that feels calm but uplifting at the same time, like you can breathe a little deeper the second you step inside.

The atmosphere is what truly sets it apart. It’s warm, positive, and filled with good people. Whether I come in needing a reset, connection, or just a moment to exist without pressure, this place always meets me exactly where I am.

And the employees… they are the heart of it all. Every single person is kind, genuine, and caring. They don’t just do their job—they create an environment where people feel seen and valued. You can tell they truly care, and that kind of authenticity is rare. If you get the chance to be served a drink by Avery, Cherish, Leora, or Randy...that's a good day in my book.

This place means more to me than I can fully express. It’s not just somewhere I go—it’s somewhere that helps me feel grounded, supported, and happy. I’m so grateful it exists.

My go to order is a Nitro tea and a Bertha bomb!“

“Found this place because I wanted a place open after the end of my shift at midnight. Such a laid back vibe. great cocktails and extensive list of spirits. The kitchen was closed, but the menu looks intriguing. Definitely recommend. Definitely will return.“

“This place serves up authentic, flavorful dishes that hit the spot! The tacos are outstanding - bursting with great flavors and freshness! Ashley’s phenomenal customer service made the visit even more enjoyable, and the drinks were equally impressive. Highly recommended!“

“My favorite place in Colorado Springs! They have amazing flagship beers along with unique, cutting edge taps that will satisfy the soul. Every time I come in from my home three blocks away I'm impressed and trying something new. I love a brewery that challenges itself, challenges its drinkers, and is hugely successful with ridiculously amazing beer! Plus, the staff is exceptional and hospitable always caring for anyone's needs whether it's the beer drinker or the pup that is with. ♥️🐾“

“I'm giving 4 stars because I know it is not the establishment itself that left a bad taste in my mouth. First time visiting; My fiance and I came here to celebrate his birthday. The woman behind the counter was chatting with some people at the bar, walked over to us and set menus down infront of us without even looking in our direction, while still speaking to the other guests. I found it incredibly surprising that she didnt atleast look at us and say hello.. The menu has a huge selection and so we are both looking forward to suggestions. Minutes go by and when she is finally done chatting with the other guests, she asks me if we know what we want. That is our greeting. My fiance is in the bathroom so I wait for him to come back. He comes back and we continue to wait! She is taking other people's orders and then starts closing out a large party before coming back to us. We were standing at the bar in silence for way too long. We just left. Very disappointed, but perhaps we will come back another time and try again.
This was 3/30/26, evening time.“

“went there last night for the first time and it definitely didn't disappoint. amazing drinks and delicious food. beautiful patio and attentive staff. Will definitely back and definitely recommend to try it out ♡“

“Great place, very pretty and clean atmosphere. The staff was sweet and attentive. Really liked Macha latte. The same owners as monses so they have pupusas!!!! I“

“A great place to sit and enjoy some great live music, while enjoying your favorite drink“

“Always a great time at the Lounge ❣️“

“Great downtown location with reasonably priced drinks, pool, jukebox and local color. There is an adjacent pizza place with erratic hours (i.e., don't rely on them being open) so eat something before you arrive. Stays open late. The bartender Dave is a real professional and terrific guy who cares about his customers.“

“Awesome little tavern where the beer is excellent and staff super friendly, great acoustic live music 🎶“

“Absolutely loved our evening hanging out at Seven’s Gate. Been a long time, fan and visitor of Cerebus across the street, but had never made it over to Seven’s Gate until this evening. They were doing a fundraiser for Manitou Springs pride, and we were met with welcoming, smiles, tasty, beer, and amazing service from Kara. We didn’t get to try any of the food… But that will be a first on the next visit. Highly recommend visiting any time of the week, if you want to stop by for a chill atmosphere and good vibes. Will definitely be back!“

“We had an absolute blast. Love this place so much“

“I had never tried kava before are they are super nice and informative here. Definitely recommend it!“

“One of the greatest bars I've been to in the springs, super friendly staff and the owner Randy is very personable, plenty of pool tables and a darts board, as well as karaoke every Thursday Friday Saturday night. Highly recommend this bar.“

“We had a great time with Patrick last night. He is doing good things with that bar, and will continue to succeed!“

“Just a fun and good weird feel went there for a soccer documentary with the switchbacks“

“The manager Garrett walked me and my friends around the whole restaurant taking photos for us for our Instagram and did a fantastic job… Cassidie our server was also super kind and helpful… THANKS FOR A UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT VIEW HOUSE“

“Yummy food, good prices, amazing staff, great specials and always very clean!! Very comfortable atmosphere too!“

“It's a great place to go if you're looking for a little bit of a queer crowd along with straight allies. It is a wonderful mix of people. I often go on Fridays and Saturdays to dance the night away, but they do offer other activities during the week; such as karaoke nights on Thursdays on Wednesdays there is an open stage for performers and so much more.“

“Best spot if you’re looking for a chill time with great drinks and great people! The costumer service is amazing and extremely welcoming, I appreciate you guys! 🤝 Thank you Ms Gloria!!!!“

“Fun cocktail list! Great bartenders & fun atmosphere!“

“Lots of fun,foods and drinks in this place.“

“A wonderful environment. We were greeted warmly by the bartender and she walked us through kava 101. Since we were new, she offered us some shots on the house before ordering drinks. The kava soda was delicious. If you’re looking for a nice hangout place that doesn’t feature alcohol, this is it.“

“best spot in the Springs to get some culture music, comedy, vibes on vibes, and art everywhere. Plus the drinks they smack“

“We went on New Year's Eve, and it was wonderful to see this place as busy as it deserves to be. We got addicted to Jacob's mixology in the Tipperary days and were excited to come see him again. The atmosphere is charming and very nostalgic. Cocktails remained solid, and the price point was much more accessible than prior. The new faces behind the bar were great additions. The only thing that would make this place even better is mocktail options. I hope this business model proves sustainable and successful enough that we will see more of Jacob's cocktail creativity on the menu soon. He is truly the most talented bartender in the city.“

“Staff was amazing! Drinks were so fun and delicious. Probably one of the coolest bars I’ve ever been to! 10/10 recommend. 🔥🔥🔥“

“Awesome group experience and place to just unwind“

“Great place, great experience and super unique. Arrived on time and my table wasn’t open yet. Had to wait in the woobly olive where it felt awkward and I felt like I was in the way. Bartender didn’t offer me water while I waited so I wish I had waited outside but it was raining.

Once seated, I had a blast and the drinks were amazing and super creative“

“🌟 5 stars! 11/10! 🌟 You must try out the 59’er if you happen to wander into Old CO City. The food is delicious, 😋 the drinks 🍹 are great, and the atmosphere ✨ is the best part! So many awesome people; tons of games and fun. 🎲 🃏 Highly recommend, check it out the next time you’re in the area. 😏 ✨ 🥂 🎉🎊“

“Great place to get some decent food and good drinks Not to mention the cute bartenders“

“A great hangout with a small relaxed atmosphere! Friendly people and good vibes!“

“We have a blast every time we go!“

“One of my favorite bars in the Colorado Springs area. The way neighborhood bars should be. Friend staff, good drink specials..“

“DEFINITELY GREAT FOOD, GREAT WORKING WITH THE OWNERS, VERY PROFESSIONAL &VERY WELCOMING.“

“Wife and I haphazardly came across this bar during Christmas. What a pleasant surprise! The bartenders were extremely professional and welcoming. Drinks were on point. The service and atmosphere warrant the price point of this hidden gem. Will definitely be back.“

“Bartender was excellent. Xavier was great with his customer service and a joy to talk to. Thanks to him I tried The Goat Red. Loved the beer.“

“Supernova Bar and Arcade is a phenomenal value if you like good drinks and classic games. The staff is friendly and the prices on everything is more than fair.

Pretty much every game costs $0.50/credit. There are 2 change machines on site, but they only take $1s and $5s, so make sure you bring small bills if you want to play the games. The bartender *might* break larger bills if you buy stuff.

The food is pretty good for bar food and priced well. It was cooked well and tasty.

There is a solid drinks selection, and beer is cheap. You're not gonna find $12 IPA hipster lager prices here.

This bar also has the distinct advantage of being open until 01:30 — a rarity in Colorado, in my experience.

Supernova is definitely worth checking out. Make the time to drop in if you can!“

“UPDATE: My wife and I visited Colorado Springs again this year. And we promised ourselves that if we ever came back this way our evenings would be spent at the Mill Hill Saloon! We love the place! During this trip, we got the chance to meet and speak with the owner Jimmie Bloom. What a great guy! We danced two nights to the Jeffrey Alan Band. And buddy, did they deliver on the classic country music. Sure wish we had the Mill Hill Saloon down in Alabama. Thanks Jimmie for keeping a little piece of Americana alive and well.

The Mill Hill Saloon rocks! This is my kind of country hole-in-the-wall. It's not a big place by no means but it is cozy and friendly. The band there the night my wife and I went was amazing! They played lots of good old country songs you could dance to. And the beer was ICE cold. We had a great time! And shut the lights off when we left. The next time I'm in Colorado Springs, you can bet your boots, I'll be at the Mill Hill Saloon where the good folks are, and the snow flakes aren't.“

“Fun place but only been there once. Will be going back again“

“Catfish was great and the Korean Bowls!👍🇺🇸🍺“

“Happ tap is a very welcoming tap room we serve are fully loaded bacon wrapped dogs out of here every other week if we’re available and we love doing so the customers are great the bartenders are wonderful everybody is just so cheerful and happy we absolutely love this place“

“Coolest spot in town. Good times and tan lines.“

“We went last night for the Barbie theme and had a blast along with great food and drinks. The theme was top notch. Highly recommend“

“Awesome bar, awesome bartenders. They're also protective bartenders. I will be making this my new favorite spot and bringing my actual guy friend, too, the one I am actually safe with next time he's off. It is a nice little spot with great personalities and clean.“

“love mood,lighting a sexy joint indeed.“
