So sad to see La Favorita erase such a heartfelt contribution to Pueblo History. Many of the workers who paid to be immortalized in those ceiling panels were veterans and working people who liked going to one of the few bars in town that played New Mexican music and hosted bands. The workers who paid for those ceiling panels that have been painted over with black paint were not only doing it for themselves, they bought those small memorials for future generations. Clearly, the owners had no clue or didn't care that they were destroying a community archive.I went there tonight to see my uncle's panels only to find they were gone. Luckily, I had photographed some years ago, but I wished I had photographed the others. I'm sure I'm not the only one.Now, "the favorite" has erased all NM working class history from its ceiling and hosts comedy, has established a dress code, and has successfully eliminated local patrons. Bear in mind, in Pueblo's heyday we could hear New Mexican music, rock, punk, country and jazz live music in the same night at different bars downtown. That's all gone.After seeing the black ceiling, my father who shined shoes on union as a kid said he never wants to go in there again. Neither do I.

This place is a public menace on weekends and needs to be shut down

Tried to go last night with some friends and I (white) was allowed in, but my buddy (black) was denied entry. Another friend asked the bouncer later and was told, "have to keep the riff raff out." I wonder if that bouncer could've been more explicit about what or who he considers "riff raff"...

A wild place for sure but the bartenders are awesome at what they do. I love their snack choices also.

My friend walked into the bar with his VAILD ID, came back out to find some friend (me and some others) and didn’t get ANY drinks while he was in the bar for about 20 mins. When he tried to go back into the bar he was denied because he was “too drunk” the next person walked up (out friend) showed security his GUN AND KNIFE and them him in. AND on top of that we had our DRUNK UNDER AGE friend go in with a obvious fake ID and they not only let her in but she got free drinks from the bartender. This place is a joke

Used to be a great bar. Bar staff amazing per usual.DJ only played mixed rave music and if you requested a song you were lucky to get a minute of the song before he mixed it to something else.The biggest issue is…you have so many security guards and for what?? To sit out side and smoke OR to intimate the few people that actually come into the bar???Why in gods name do you yell and pull a TASER out… when you just announced it was closing time. Customers knew and were closing out bar tabs!!! There are few bars like this in Pueblo and this place used to be so enjoyable!!

Good place to dance and have a few drink. DJ was good and mixes it up nicely. Loud music not much room for caring on a conversation.

Literally the most ghetto bar in Pueblo. My friends and I went to celebrate my boyfriends birthday, my friend was just resting her head when the security guard ran up and told her she needed to leave. He proceeded to man handle her out of the booth then, when I told him we were leaving he still continued to grab her by the arm and try to force her out. Then when her boyfriend told the man to stop being forceful with her, the security guard pepper sprayed my friend and I. We were complying and leaving and they still decided that pepper spray was the best option.

This bar is super ghetto!!!! Idk the staff older female has thrown me out a few times for getting in disagreement w/ men them yelling & me yelling back. Obviously women safety isn't a big deal to their staff because I'm not a often customer I'm the one to get thrown out it's happened in 2019 2020 & 2021. I have no clue how this place is still even in business.
