The Tastiest Music Venues in Colorado Springs

This was our second time having a meal at Swirl. Mike the owner is consistently welcoming and kind. The menu is great and the chef delivers! I had the chicken pot pie w a salad and my wife had coconut curry soup (Gluten Free). Our son had the Italian sub. Everything was amazing. Staff is excellent. Vibe is chill. Love it!

My girlfriends and I were going to see a play at the Wheatridge Theater close by and picked this place to have brunch before hand. I like their seating. We got a large booth in the middle that was comfortable for all of us to be seated within sitting on each other. Our server was awesome. her name was Sarah and she was super sweet and helpful with suggested on food and cocktails. She was quick and always available if needed. They let you get lunch or breakfast which is awesome and worked well for our crew. I got the cheeseburger with fries and my burger was cooked perfectly and was dripping and messy, just the way I like it. They have a full bar with some fun cocktails. Love the espresso martini! It can be a little loud and seems a little more sports bar ish but other great place.

We came here to fuel up for the rest of the day. The entrance is pretty nice. Almost seems like a hotel entrance. There is some seating right outside as you walk in but also plenty of seating inside as well. It looks like they have live music on some occasions although there wasn't any while we were there.We ordered a ham and cheese breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel and it also came with some chips. Everything was delicious. Nothing crazy. Just a solid sandwich and solid chips. We also had a strawberry banana smoothie and that was also very good! Not too sweet and a little tart.Service was good too. He was friendly and fast. Overall, solid place. Solid food. Solid service.

20 Mile is so much more than a neighborhood bar! First, this is definitely a locals spot and so you'll notice that a lot of the patrons and staff know each other and you'll hear "do you want the usual" a few times... but that could also be because the staff goes above and beyond to make everyone feel at home. This is a good spot for a day or night out with tap TV, live music and other events. Surprisingly also, they have an incredible view of the mountains from their back patio - not something you would guess walking up.They can make all of your standard sports bar drinks and a mean Bloody Mary, but their food will shock you! The pork carnitas meal is my favorite, wings and chips and salsa kill, and burgers are also great. Great spot for a night out or day drinking!

Lincoln's Roadhouse is one of the coolest spots in Denver. Come for the live music, stay for the food! You'll find a dive bar atmosphere in the Wash Park neighborhood complete with friendly service and owners who really love what they do.I had the crawfish etouffee which blew me away. With the serrano gator sauce, it's one of the best bites in Denver. We also tried the blackened crawfish po boy which was flavorful with the right amount of heat. The gumbo was also amazing with a perfect smokiness to it. You have to check out Lincoln's!

This could be a 5 star place if the servers were more attentive to the customers. I've been here twice and both times I have my server walk past me often without looking over to see if I need anything. My first visit after I ordered food and drink, my server finally asked if I wanted a drink refill. When I told her I did, and what I wanted to drink, I never received it. What?!? The second time I went it was the same thing. It seems there are so many regulars visiting this place that they get all the attention. But how do you become a regular when the service is lacking and makes you not want to return? With that complaint off my chest, the rest of the place is great. WEDNESDAY BLUES JAMThey have a blues jam every Wednesday where musicians can sign up to play a few tunes with other musicians. The list gets filled quickly and the musicians who regularly sign up are seasoned players. The blues sets start with a house band that plays several tunes. Then they hand over the stage to the next group of players. Some of these people haven't played together before but because they are talented enough, when they begin jamming, it sounds great!SATURDAY LIVE MUSICOn Saturdays, they usually have a scheduled band to play. It's not always blues, and from what I saw when I went, the band is usually well-known in the Denver area. The amazing thing about the music at this place is -- NO COVER CHARGE -- EVER!VOLUMEThe music does get loud if you are sitting within view of the stage. If you want to hear the music, but prefer not to be blasted by the sound, sit in the bar in the front of the place. You can get drinks, food, and still hear the band.FOODIt's bar food. That's not a slam because I happen to like bar food. It's probably frozen before it's served so don't expect to eat like a gourmet. There is a great selection of choices depending on what you're in the mood to eat. They even have desserts if you want to start there.THE PLACE This bar is easy to miss because it's entrance is not on Wadsworth. The back of the bar faces Wadsworth with the front entrance on the parking lot side. The place is in a little outdoor mall with lots of stores so parking is not a problem. Both times I parked within steps of the front door.The entrance is on the west side of the building. The south side of the bar has an outdoor patio. This is the part of the building you can see if you're driving north on Wadsworth. Across the parking lot from the patio is Freaky's Smoke Shop & Tattoos.When you walk into the Rusty Bucket there is a bar with some seating. If you walk along the bar to the back of the place, that's the larger room with a stage for the music. That room also has a bar and food service.In general the bar is worth visit, especially if you enjoy watching great live music. If you want good service, be proactive and flag down your server. The experience is worth the effort.

Great music. The Yelp page is incorrect They have live music tonight. Band called HARDDRIVE. And they are awesome

Fun spot. Great drinks. Dustin was wonderful and welcoming. Can't wait to come back for karaoke.
