Whiskey Bars in Colorado Springs, CO

“The tour/tasting from start to finish was really amazing, James was phenomenal, from being very personable, humorous, and knowledgeable. The history of 291 shared and how it still plays a role today was really cool. The whiskey of course was also nothing short of amazing, hearing the differences in the process for the batches and then tasting that difference was excellent. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone, as soon as we came home we were telling people about it. Thanks for a great experience in our staycation.“

“By FAR my favorite place to go out in the springs! The best drinks and bites and ambiance. The fire pits on the patio with the twinkly lights are always the perfect vibe and if it’s too cold, we love sitting inside in the lounge style set-up that’s not too dark. Our go-to always! Leslie and the staff always make us feel right at home. We bring all our friends and COS visitors here!“

“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.“
