50 Best Bars near Manitou Springs

“Drinks are cheap! Food is great. atmosphere is benevolently crazy. Owner is a class act. The cook Mel is a tad weird.“

“Awesome place to hang out!“

“The Loop is one of rhe few reasons i go to Manitou. That and the penny arcade.
Service is always fast and friendly. Foodnis always good.
We've had the fajitas which are good, my daughter gets the mac and cheese (i know) and swears by it and i get the Burrito from Hell which is a spicy burrito. I get From Hell sauce in the side for additional heat. It comes with a lot of tempura veggies and birracha besns. This is a huge meal. Totally worth it.
The restaurant is always clean.
One of my favorites.
A+
@Highly recommended!“

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

“Great little place for some good drinks and cool atmosphere. Was here visiting for a few days and went twice. Ironically, THE BEST soft pretzel ive ever had in my life. Worth getting. Not a huge food menu, just some app type stuff, which is perfect. Id go again, and im definitely getting the soft pretzel.“

“Had an incredible time at Goth Night! The environment is fantastic, the staff is wonderfully attentive, and celebrating a host’s birthday with cake was such a sweet touch. The cake was phenomenal. That chef needs to be taken out back and shown the best type of love“

“Oh gratitude...where were you all my life? As someone who is trying to live sober, this place is nothing short of wonderful. The drinks are incredible and the vibe is awesome. Michelle, Jimmy and Jeff are the best people! Such a great place to get the socialization a bar normally offers without the alcohol. I love this place!“

“My favorite place in Colorado Springs! They have amazing flagship beers along with unique, cutting edge taps that will satisfy the soul. Every time I come in from my home three blocks away I'm impressed and trying something new. I love a brewery that challenges itself, challenges its drinkers, and is hugely successful with ridiculously amazing beer! Plus, the staff is exceptional and hospitable always caring for anyone's needs whether it's the beer drinker or the pup that is with. ♥️🐾“

“I’ve had a great experience at both “kava works” locations. The staff and owner are really paving the way for what it means to build community and friendships around kava. Really happy to be a patron here! 10/5 stars“

“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.“

“This place serves up authentic, flavorful dishes that hit the spot! The tacos are outstanding - bursting with great flavors and freshness! Ashley’s phenomenal customer service made the visit even more enjoyable, and the drinks were equally impressive. Highly recommended!“

“Great place, very pretty and clean atmosphere. The staff was sweet and attentive. Really liked Macha latte. The same owners as monses so they have pupusas!!!! I“

“A great place to sit and enjoy some great live music, while enjoying your favorite drink“

“We had an absolute blast. Love this place so much“

“We had a great time with Patrick last night. He is doing good things with that bar, and will continue to succeed!“

“Absolutely loved our evening hanging out at Seven’s Gate. Been a long time, fan and visitor of Cerebus across the street, but had never made it over to Seven’s Gate until this evening. They were doing a fundraiser for Manitou Springs pride, and we were met with welcoming, smiles, tasty, beer, and amazing service from Kara. We didn’t get to try any of the food… But that will be a first on the next visit. Highly recommend visiting any time of the week, if you want to stop by for a chill atmosphere and good vibes. Will definitely be back!“

“Fun cocktail list! Great bartenders & fun atmosphere!“

“Awesome little tavern where the beer is excellent and staff super friendly, great acoustic live music 🎶“

“Just a fun and good weird feel went there for a soccer documentary with the switchbacks“

“We went on New Year's Eve, and it was wonderful to see this place as busy as it deserves to be. We got addicted to Jacob's mixology in the Tipperary days and were excited to come see him again. The atmosphere is charming and very nostalgic. Cocktails remained solid, and the price point was much more accessible than prior. The new faces behind the bar were great additions. The only thing that would make this place even better is mocktail options. I hope this business model proves sustainable and successful enough that we will see more of Jacob's cocktail creativity on the menu soon. He is truly the most talented bartender in the city.“

“Great downtown location with reasonably priced drinks, pool, jukebox and local color. There is an adjacent pizza place with erratic hours (i.e., don't rely on them being open) so eat something before you arrive. Stays open late. The bartender Dave is a real professional and terrific guy who cares about his customers.“

“I’m new to CO springs and this was my favorite bar area I’ve been too by far. Drinks were great, security was really kind and chill, the pink haired bartender with the bridge piercing was AMAZING. She was very kind and provided fast service, and kept my bag safe for me while I danced. Very open and welcoming queer space <3“

“The saloon is relaxed with a great low key staff. Attentive ... food good and great price. A great place to relax and watch the "uptight" drive past on 24. Everyone coming in their door is considered family.“

“Visited this amazing place on August 10, 2026. The food was amazing and soooooo flavorful! The ambiance was very chilled and of course I will return.“

“The manager Garrett walked me and my friends around the whole restaurant taking photos for us for our Instagram and did a fantastic job… Cassidie our server was also super kind and helpful… THANKS FOR A UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT VIEW HOUSE“

“Very friendly staff, very chill atmosphere. The owners are extremely passionate about kava, and this is reflected in the drinks they produce. Highly recommended if you are looking to avoid alcohol, but still want the social setting associated with a bar.“

“🌟 5 stars! 11/10! 🌟 You must try out the 59’er if you happen to wander into Old CO City. The food is delicious, 😋 the drinks 🍹 are great, and the atmosphere ✨ is the best part!

“DEFINITELY GREAT FOOD, GREAT WORKING WITH THE OWNERS, VERY PROFESSIONAL &VERY WELCOMING.“

“My girlfriend and I found Many's the first time we went to Colorado Springs and we try to stop every time we are in town. The pool tables are free and he has beer from all over central and South America. We haven't tried the food he offers, but Angie's is right next door if you enjoy latin food.“

“Absolutely fantastic. The Veg Out and Guinness Sake pot pies were wonderful. The key lime and Lovely Bunch of Coconuts pies were fantastic. Definitely will be back.“

“UPDATE: My wife and I visited Colorado Springs again this year. And we promised ourselves that if we ever came back this way our evenings would be spent at the Mill Hill Saloon! We love the place! During this trip, we got the chance to meet and speak with the owner Jimmie Bloom. What a great guy! We danced two nights to the Jeffrey Alan Band. And buddy, did they deliver on the classic country music. Sure wish we had the Mill Hill Saloon down in Alabama. Thanks Jimmie for keeping a little piece of Americana alive and well.

The Mill Hill Saloon rocks! This is my kind of country hole-in-the-wall. It's not a big place by no means but it is cozy and friendly. The band there the night my wife and I went was amazing! They played lots of good old country songs you could dance to. And the beer was ICE cold. We had a great time! And shut the lights off when we left. The next time I'm in Colorado Springs, you can bet your boots, I'll be at the Mill Hill Saloon where the good folks are, and the snow flakes aren't.“

“The black guy bartender with the light brown eyes who worked yesterday makes the best mixed drinks. The margarita he made was delicious. The other bartender who came later did not make it with the same care. Even watered it down. No shaking to incorporate any ingredients.

Please give your good bartender a bonus. Uplift the good ones. Train the others. Thanks for a wonderful time.

I mean this review with the utmost respect because I think all small businesses should succeed and receive fair pointers on what can ve improved.

Also I would consider an entrance fee instead of paying per game.“

“I stopped by for lunch and was blown away by the quality. The toasted subs are consistently excellent with really fresh toppings like crisp red onion and sliced pickles.

The bread has a perfect crunch, and you can tell everything is prepared with care. I also loved seeing the Kool-Aid dispensers set up with different flavors. It is definitely my new go-to spot in the area.“

“Happ tap is a very welcoming tap room we serve are fully loaded bacon wrapped dogs out of here every other week if we’re available and we love doing so the customers are great the bartenders are wonderful everybody is just so cheerful and happy we absolutely love this place“

“Great service, great beer & great brats. All around good time. Can't wait to come back!“

“I wandered into this bar after passing it many times. Not only was the bartender Viper very friendly and easy to talk to, but she provided amazing service and lots of laughs. This is easily my new favorite bar. The food, drinks, service, music, vibe, patrons are all top tier. I got the trout and my partner got the pork chop. Not only was it fantastic but the owner even came out to make sure we enjoyed our food AND boxed it for us. The live band on Friday kept the good times rolling with requests and great energy. 10/10“

“love mood,lighting a sexy joint indeed.“

“We went last night for the Barbie theme and had a blast along with great food and drinks. The theme was top notch. Highly recommend“

“Hands down the best sushi in Colorado Springs!“

“Truth? Yes I work here doing karaoke, but I will tell you it's one of the most fun gigs I've had! Plus the folks who sing with me are exceptional! (good lol)!Great & attentive bartenders- Bob & Judy! Fun atmosphere! Warm & cozy patio! You never feel like you're in town out on the patio! This fairy tale is real!“
