Very beautiful and fun bar. Themes this month was great. Had a large group and we were all able to get a drink that we liked. Service was very fun, refreshing and outgoing. Shout out to Shiva for her amazing performance and kindness.

Wobbly Olive is my fav spot in town, so I was super happy when they opened a downtown location. Great menu, yummy food and drinks, amazing staff and owner. Highly recommend if you are looking for a good spot to catch a drink and bite to eat!

It honestly takes alot for me to write such a scathing review because the majority of my reviews are pisitive and pointing out places that deserve the recognition. It breaks my heart to write this review but im finally done going here. This was a great place to go but in the last month so, its gone way down hill. Extremely unprofessional and awkward environment. Stay away from this bar unless you want to leave feeling like the vibe of the night is crushed. I don't know if management changed recently but its not fun going here anymore. I just want to go and relax on the weekend but this guy made my night completely un-enjoyable several times. I have been going to The Wobbly Olive for years and I'm finally done. For the prices of thier drinks, you would think they would work to maintain a level of service that you get from the many other bars with an energetic and uplifting vibe downtown. I heard someone call this guy Tim so I think that's his name but he seemed completely out of control and this is not the first time I've witnessed completely unprofessional behavior.
I have witnessed this guy berating staff in front of customers and being blatantly condescending to customers many times to the point of making the experience uncomfortable. The last time was 2 weeks ago and was so bad that my friends and I left to not make the night a full downer. Then this Friday, I witnessed it again and I cant do it anymore. I know the service industry can be stressful and physically taxing and I only bring this up because a few of my friends made comments several time but I have noticed on several occasions that hes was sweating from something that doesn't seem from physical exertion ot temperature so I will leave that up to interpretation. Thier Jurassic theme part of the bar was ironically cool, a little tacky, but it had its merrits but I just cant endure the service from this manager or lead or whatever he is. Maybe I'll check back in a few months and if he's not there, my friends and I may continue going there.

Whitley was absolutely fantastic!! She helped me figure out what drink to order and was very patient. Her dirty Diana martini and cucumber mint martini was to die for.

One of the worst dining experiences I have had in Colorado Springs. The Chicken was so overcooked that it was inedible. My partner's meal was equally bad with undercooked risotto and mushrooms that had no business being served.

Beware the mussels… My sister and I decided to go to Allusions to enjoy the new Harry Potter theme. This was about my third time trying one of Allusions themes. The night started off decent with the drinks we ordered, so we decided to order some food. The waitress said one of the chef’s favorite dishes was the mussels so we decided to give them ago. The moment they brought them we noticed a….unique odor. They smelled an awful lot like cow manure. We decided to still give them a try anyways hoping it was maybe just whatever sauce/marinade was on top. The first mussel I tried tasted ok, whereas the one my sister ate she found shockingly also tasted of cow manure. I continued to eat a few more and found that some of them tasted so much like horse poop that I had to spit it out. We then decided to Google this occurrence. Turns out mussels tasting like animal poop is a big sign of rancid mussels…shocker. We were stupid and ate a shocking amount of them, so we decided to not say anything, although we were crying laughing from the experience. We then decided to order the bread platter, thinking some bread would fix it…nope. One, the description is an incredibly exaggerated version of what comes out. Two, the “focaccia” they brought out was SO dry. This time we did say something so they offered another dip, as if that would make it any less dry. We laughed it off. At this point my sister was near the end of her black licorice boba cocktail. Turns out the boba at the bottom was ROCK hard. Had to spit them out. Felt like it was one thing after another. A few hours have passed and my sister and I are not feeling very well.
To the chef at the Wobbly Olive, perhaps give the mussels at least a quick sniff before serving them? And to anyone who orders the mussels in the future, if the mussels smell even a little like manure DONT EAT THEM.

We were the only people in the restaurant yet the food took a very long time. Their menu talks about scratch made, but I am 99% certain that the bao buns are not made in house. In general, the menu we were handed at the table was night and day different from what we had seen online beforehand. It was a fully Asian-inspired menu, so my wife wasn’t thrilled from the start. The music was loud and obnoxious…felt like a pre-game spot when we were looking like a wind down dinner. Don’t rely on the photos from the restaurant as the food was very lazily plated. On that note, the food was dramatically under seasoned. One of my potatoes was undercooked. The wife’s pork came with slaw that tasted like bagged pre-shredded cabbage.
