50 Best Cocktail Bars in Colorado Springs

“The first time at this place the food was delicious and good atmosphere“

“Great food and drinks. Inconceivable!“

“This was my husbands and I first time going to this bar. It was a cozy and cute place. The bartender Quintin ( I believe that is how he spells it) was so nice and very knowledgeable about the drinks. We will definitely be back.“

“I love the new location that's downtown but it got sooo hot. if you love to dance definitely dress down“

“Love the Westside Cantina - where they make everyone feel like a local. Staff is amazing. Outdoor seating, well behaved dogs welcome. Specialty drinks are abundant- I love the Queen Bee, top shelf tequila selection. Danielle is one of the best servers we have ever had. Do your self a favor and don’t skip the appetizers - Street Corn Nachos or the Carne Asada Fries are to die for.“

“Wonderful and charming little cocktail parlor. One of my favorite classics is a Division Bell and I was surprised to see it on their neo-classic menu. Most bars wouldn't showcase this as it is a strange stem from the last word and paper plane type cocktails. Jacob served me and was quick and pleasant. Only had a couple of drinks. Only note of criticism is that my cocktail was not double strained, leaving more ice in the cocktail than desired. Looking past that, excellent taste and place!“

“Late dinner and drinks. Cocktails and service were excellent.“

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Great experience overall“

“Wonderfully inventive cocktails. An extraordinary selection of whiskeys and a great atmosphere. The issue lies on the management and/or ownership. Only two bartenders carrying the entire weight of an extremely busy Friday night. Bartenders had to serve, bus, make cocktails, go to the food truck to get orders, go to the brewery to get beers and all the usual duties. I understand the issues in hiring and retaining talent in business today. But adding a server or two would have catapulted this from four stars to five. I have great respect for the staff who was busting their tails, but nobody could receive the quality of service customers deserve. And that is on ownership. Still recommend highly, just maybe not on a Friday or Saturday night.“

“great laid back spot.. live their spirits“

“Went here on karaoke night for my first time. It was a slow night but it looked like it was picking up as we were leaving about 10:30. The bartender and the owner are friendly and very good at what they do! It's not in a great area of town but you'd be surprised when you walk in the door. They have 3 pool tables, so we shot some pool. I had a good time! I suggest you give it a try!“

“The Joint is all plant-based and the best I've had. The Dip and Brussel sprouts were fabulous. Very tasty and flavorful.
Mikey at the bar was the quintessential bartender. He knows his bar and loves crafting his drinks. We will return here!“

“Great neighborhood bar. The lady was friendly and made my wife a killer martini. One of our favorite places in Colorado Springs.“

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

“This is by far the best dining I have had in Colorado! Hats off to the entire staff for providing amazing service, delicious food and an all around amazing experience. We look forward to our next experience here. A huge thank you to the staff (Austin, Steve, Javid, Pariza, and everyone else whose names I missed.).“

“We celebrated wedding anniversary #50, and #51 at Cowboy Star. Fantastic! Dinner is always incredible. Rebecca and Elena helped us in the best ways imaginable. We highly recommend.“

“Great atmosphere as well as the service. Good drinks and delicious food. The Korean FF were very good topped with bulgogi meat. The Big Island poke was ok just a bit on the bland side. Needs a little more kick to it. Overall great place for Asian dishes. Be prepared to be circling around for parking.“

“We had a great time and sat outside in the spacious patio area. The menu features some excellent drinks. One of the managers, Nikko, took time to explain all the various drink options and we were not disappointed. This is a must visit the next time we are in Colorado “

“Stevie is the most passionate chef/friend we’ve ever met! He takes the opportunity to create a real experience through each dish prepared…it’s beautiful, it’s beyond tasty…it’s perfection from the comfy stools to the perfect Smoked Cherry Old Fashioned and every bite inbetween!“

“I don't even drink, but when I'm invited with friends, they have a fantastic atmosphere and there's other things to order that are equally amazing. I've been there for nightmare before Christmas and Barbie themes so far.

Dietary restrictions: They have non alcoholic drinks available.

Kid-friendliness: Probably not kid friendly, it's a smaller venue and has alcohol as a main feature.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, but would need assistance with the entryway, the door is somewhat hidden and swinging.“

“I was visiting for a week on a business trip. Was a lot of fun. The food was plentiful and really tasty. Our bartender at the brewery was very personable…I ended going twice“

“A really good chai latte, a full bar, and great options that won't break the bank. So nice.

Dietary restrictions: They have delineated options for gluten free and dairy free making it easy to stay within your dietary restrictions. I am allergic to eggs and had no problem eating brunch or finding an option for myself.“

“Baristatenders were Flexible for me on my coffee neeeds. Got Italian style macchiato , tiny drink. They have food here, it’s delicious but I haven’t ordered food here recently so I won’t review it.

Wheelchair accessibility: Front door is standard size for average wheelchairs!“

“First I have to say that the service was amazing. Thank you April for taking great care of us. We were seated in the wine tasting room which allowed us to converse without shouting. I requested a quiet table location but never expected this level of accommodation. The food was outstanding. Nobody in our party of six had a negative thing to say about any of the four courses. Highly recommend the tomato tart, the cucumber soup, the halibut and the chocolate orange dream dessert if they are available when you visit. Nice size portions as well. Really enjoyed our evening. No special occasion, just friends looking for good food, service, and conversation. We got all three. Lucky us!“

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

“Great breakfast, good service!“

“Simply Amazing!!!!! Mr Matt, the owner, the staff, the location, the atmosphere, the food & drinks talk about perfect for all occasions, make sure you visit soon!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars“

“Tonight we dined at Black Forest Bistro and had an amazing experience! The pasta and cheese wheel was absolutely delicious, and every dish we tried was fantastic. The servers were not only attentive but also very entertaining, making our meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend Black Forest Bistro for great food and excellent service!“

“What a fun place to gather friends for excellent food and a fun time! Service is amazing and food over the top! Thanks! Must go to place in the Springs!“

“First time to Homa Cafe. Great experience. Christian and Toni were our bar staff. Nice food, great cocktails. Definitely go back again.“

“terrific room to use for events- but needs more seating and plug-ins.“

“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.“

“I have visited this bar a few times and each time is a different experience but in a good way. The vibe has always been welcoming and I even recently discovered a new drink (Smoked Rumhattan) that the bartender was excited to make and it was so delicious ?“

“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“

“Great food, drinks, service (very helpful and friendly) and atmosphere! Would definitely go back!“

“Delicious food. Fast, friendly service. Highly recommend.“

“The Juicy Seafood delivers a fantastic seafood experience with its shrimp, crabs, potatoes, and other offerings. The flavors are vibrant and well-seasoned, making each dish a treat for the taste buds. The freshness and quality of the seafood stand out, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the meal. However, the high prices might be a consideration for some, though the exceptional taste could justify the cost for seafood lovers.“

“Great place to just wind down . Friendly staff and crowd.“

“Food and atmosphere was great. Staff was outstanding!“

“First, please note that this busy establishment is no longer near the Garden of the Gods, is not much of a "market" any more, and is not currently reflected by many of the images shown on TA. That said, we found it to be a delightful Downtown spot for an eclectic lunch with friends. The sandwiches and salads we had were all very tasty. And our server was excellent, both personable and efficient. The pace of service was casual - but that was fine with us as we were catching up with old friends.“

“Exceptional breakfast the morning after a military retirement ceremony the night before. Made reservations for a party of 10, the table was ready and waiting for us when we arrived, which was a pleasant surprise right off the bat. Our server, Camryn was awesome and the torn potato’s were legit!! Great coffee too. Can’t wait come back next time we’re in town.“
