Whiskey Bars in Colorado Springs, CO

“I cannot adequately sum my words to express the experience that myself and my bachelor party had at Distillery 291. Even upon entry, one can tell that craftsmanship, quality, and experience are the driving forces of this business from the atmosphere all the way through the product.
Our tour was informative, light hearted, and fascinating. It swayed between the history of the company and knowledge of distilling seamlessly- no question from my group was too detailed for our guide, and never did it feel that we were being recited a script and just waiting to move on.
My group contained everything from previous bar owners to novice whiskey drinkers, and each and all had the time of their life. The experience has created not only lifelong customers, but new sproutling whiskey enthusiasts. 291 made that day for me.
A note- all of this review is based on the tour. There is not space in this review to speak of their whiskeys. But know that every drop of passion and artisanship they put into this setting and this tour is reflected tenfold in their drams. I cannot recommend them enough.“

“This is my favorite bar in Springs; the dark and moody vibe combined with good music, firepits outside, and swanky furniture makes this my favorite for girls nights out or catching up with a friend. They have a great selection of mocktails and cocktails; as well as great snacking food - my favorite is the charcuterie board. They have great deals during their happy hour as well.“

“Great Brewery, great atmosphere, great bartender.“

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Great experience overall“

“great laid back spot.. live their spirits“

“***EDIT*** Gave it another try recently! Thankfully Ena(sp) was awesome as always and made us feel welcome. And the Adventure Club sandwich always is tops! Loved coming to this place for a long time and was seriously bothered by the service today. My wife and I came in today at around 4pm and the place was busy and the bartender was seriously overwelmed(in tears almost). We sat at the bar and were patiently waiting to get waited on while she ran around trying to help everyone. But we were over looked 4 times(yes we counted). We were the only two people at the bar without any drinks, and still ignored. The final straw was when she walked up to us, then said, "no not you" and moved to the couple next to us, who already had drinks and food ordered. That was unexpected. We decided to leave. Not sure if she wasn't willing to help us because I was Mexican or because we were just a couple veterans in for a drink. But hope this isn't something that's common. Needless to say I wouldn't suggest this to others like us.“
