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!“

“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!“

“Did my birthday party here. Great staff loved the atmosphere. Everyone had a great time. Drinks are amazing!!“

“Shout out to the Cucuru crew for making a first time ever thing happen last night ! Way to kill it y’all!!“

“Great drinks, excellent food! Easily my favorite bar downtown. There was a minor issue with a mischarge on my card--management solved it immediately! Absolutely recommend adding Bloom to your rotation.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“great laid back spot.. live their spirits“

“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.“

“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.“

“Can’t recommend enough. Nothing on the menu is less than perfect. The chef really take you around the world with amazing flavors“

“My friends and I came to watch the Broncos game today and had the best service, food, and drinks! Ryan really killed it at the bar and was so nice and attentive. We had the green chile cheese curds, corn ribs, and each of us had a different burger and tots. Mine had peanut butter and jalapeno jelly....soooo good! I can't wait to some back.“

“We accidentally came here for dinner because the other place we tried was closed. We couldn't have been luckier! Service was really friendly, the seating was comfy, and the food was incredible. I had three different types of tacos and a cocktail. Heaven. We will definitely be back.“

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

“This is one of the best experiences I’ve had going out to restaurants. The physical place was very cool and designed great. The menu is awesome and creative. Once the food came it was incredible and far more than I had imagined. I talked with the owner who had a great attitude and you can see the passion he put into all the details as well as every employee and the chef who created this awesome menu and has been there since the beginning 11yrs ago. Even the servers had great attitudes and brought their each personalities along with them to each table. Our server was Lila, and was thee best server I’ve ever had. Just a very special person with a beautiful heart. Please everyone, if you get the opportunity to go don’t hesitate at having a very very special time. Thank you to everyone at 503W for the best time. Y’all are fantastic!!!!! 10⭐️’s“

“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.“

“Absolutely the best Mexican food in Colorado! Stopped at their new location on Sinton Rd and it was delicious. The owner and his son were extremely nice and everyone was friendly and very welcoming. The carne asada was mouth watering delicious and the seafood chimichanga was amazing. We had the fried ice cream for dessert and it was melt in your mouth satisfying. We will definitely be going back as often as we can!!“

“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.“

“It's a small place, but it has some good atmosphere. While I was sitting at the bar, I saw multiple interactions that would suggest regular customers, always a good sign. I got the Appalachian coffee and the biscuits and gravy, and both were good. The service was quick, but I didn't feel rushed. I would recommend trying this place out.“

“Wow is all we can say! It's been a while since we have been to White Pie & man are we glad we paid them a visit! They literally knocked everything out of the park! Every item we purchased was delicious & our server Ella was absolutely incredible! We got the buratta, meatballs, broccolini, Brussels, Fromage a Trois, Lasagna, Wagyu burger, and blueberry lavender cannoli for dessert! It's so nice visiting a local owned spot with both fabulous food & service! Thank you White Pie we will be back soon!“

“The entire staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Kailan was delightful as our server answering all the questions we had...and there were lots! Emma did the same as she prepared our delicious Cheese Experience. It was another very enjoyable visit to The Black Forest Bistro! Maybe Chef Deanna will come back from Europe (Spain?) with another inspiration which we'll enjoy next time...“

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

“First visit, very pleased. On site parking, 5 of us passing plates and couldn't find one that wasn't really good. Staff attentive, super pleasant. Only negative? that I could find... it was a cold night and we should have sat further from the door. Will be back.“

“We love salsa on the rock!!! So lucky to have it in our neighborhood I love the surf and turf burrito can’t wait to go tonight!! Also the avocado fries with the sauce is amazing I need that sauce for everyday use! Thank you for being so good! :)“

“Strolled around downtown for some window shopping. Stopped by Stir coffee house for a light breakfast and coffee. We ordered avo toast and a Cafe latte. It came out hot and fresh. Made or order in front of us while conversing with the head chef. Our experience was great. We would return again.“

“We came with a large group for a work dinner. I had the 4-course with wine pairing, which was nothing short of spectacular. Dave was our server and handled the large group with ease and humor. We ate most of the menu and the dishes were all unique interpretations, and maintain the tasty, seasonal feel of late summer. I would absolutely recommend and will love coming back.“

“Not a bad place to get something to eat“

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

“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.
