12 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.“

“Such a unique and wonderful addition to CS downtown!“

“District Elleven is a total vibe—moody, modern, and tucked just off Tejon in downtown Colorado Springs. We stopped in on a Tuesday and were pleasantly surprised to find happy hour running from 4pm to close (yes, all night!). The Drink of the Week was a total standout—The Myagi Blossom, made with gin, Aperol, honey lavender, and lemon, topped with boba. Light, balanced, and not too sweet—just right. It was fun, creative, and refreshing. We sampled several small plates and honestly, they were more generous than expected. Highlights: the perfectly crispy arancini, the hummus plate (topped with caramelized onions and served with warm bread, carrots, and cucumbers—my personal favorite), patatas vovo (a delicious spin on a classic), and the artichoke de fritas, which were divine. For cocktails, the Sazerac had a bold nod to New Orleans—traditional with a whisper of absinthe that hit all the right notes. I ended the night with a dirty vodka martini served with blue cheese-stuffed olives—beautifully done. We also shared an affogato for dessert, which was the perfect finish. Service was also top-notch—our server handled both the bar and our table with ease, making us feel genuinely welcome and well cared for. This place is a gem. Whether you’re just out for drinks or looking to graze and linger, District Elleven nails the ambiance, flavors, and hospitality. We’ll definitely be back.“

“We were visiting from out of town and had a great experience! My daughter and I both have food allergies and the server was fantastic at answering my questions.

All three of us enjoyed out meal and the atmosphere was lovely. The server was very friendly and we appreciated that he set the expectations of how long the food would be and brought out some chips ahead of time for my hungry kiddo.

We will definitely visit again if we're in town!“

“Came for the tapas, love tapas. This place was very solid- nothing special but scratched that itch. The paella is by far the best. The barbacoa polenta and garlic shrimp were very much so run of the mill. The chicken coquettes are awesome but ours were severely undercooked and quite cold in the middle- we had to send back. The wait staff was nice but seemed to be pulled in every direction at once leaving the service a bit sub par for cocktail and priced menu and this magnitude. Hoping these are just opening hiccups that get ironed out moving forward. We have tried it twice now, and would like to come bring friends and family here with us.“

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

“Great spot for anyone looking for easy variety of well-prepared food. Friendly staff. Awesome atmosphere. We loved it.“

“great laid back spot.. live their spirits“

“Great bar, but I was there for a luau party so the food was great, normally, they have pizza and whatnot, but frozen, not fresh...darts both hard and soft tipped, plenty of pool tables, cyber jukebox, video bowling, and a friendly "spirit' that pops up from time to time...

Parking: Very large parking area as it sits in a cluster of buildings on an end...“

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