The Most Delicious Venues & Event Spaces in Colorado Springs

Bistro Vendome

★★★★☆ 4.1 (991) • $$

"Fabulous dinner and service. The Duck l'orange combines confit with seared duck breast. Escargot came 2 ways, traditional and in fennel butter. Beef tartar served with fresh fried potatoe chips. Gluten free bread was out of this world, and great sour dough and churned butter for the gluten eaters. I liked the casual atmosphere with a touch of French class. Worth a visit when your in Denver."

Cerberus Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.1 (541) • $$

"Came here after a long day with my husband and kids and it did not disappoint. The servers were friendly and the food was delish. All the beers we tried were great too. The vibes were chill and friendly. Will definitely come back."

Aurum Food & Wine Breckenridge

★★★★★ 4.5 (420) • $$$

"Geez, after reading the recent reviews on this restaurant, I was hesitant to go. But I'm so glad we did. I can see why it's the best happy jour in town. What a steal. But we weren't there for happy hour. We opted to come later to enjoy the outdoor seating.Our service was fantastic and Tom took care of us. There was a choice of mocktails which I appreciate. Everything we ate was delicious. We opted for the crudo (so spicy and delicious), the Korean fried chicken (just do it), the burger (fantastic flavors) and a special pasta. For dessert it was the cookies (yes, yes yes!) and the Elvis (a little spicy dessert). We enjoyed our meal and unanimously agreed this was a five star experience. We are glad we didn't listen to the other reviews!!PS-to be fair, working a huge table is never fun and never turns out well. So I take these large table complaints with a groan of salt."

Parker Garage

★★★★☆ 3.5 (576) • $$

"The atmosphere here was really cool and I stopped on to meet with am old friend that was in town. He got the porkchop with the mashed potatoes and really enjoyed it. I got the large corn dish (like street corn) and steak. The corn was awesome and the steak was ok (I'd pass on it next time). I tried some beer and liked the selection. I liked the seating at the bar area and will definitely check this place out again."

Trattoria Stella on Colfax

★★★★☆ 3.8 (429) • $$

Ivywild School

★★★★☆ 4.1 (255) • $$

"It's an old school that now has a few restaurants inside. I went with the pizza and a flight from Bristol Brewing. Detroit style was great. The place is so cool. Clean and the staff is very nice. There's plenty of seating inside and outside. I definitely recommend coming here after Garden of the Gods."

Margarita At PineCreek

★★★★☆ 4.2 (223) • $$$

"We were looking forward to our outing at Margarita for a couple of weeks. They were celebrating Mardis Gras and we were welcomed at the door with beads! Our waitress was friendly and attentive, but not overly so. Lunch began with a fresh fruit cup. Grapes, strawberries, and melon - crisp and tasty. They had wonderful cocktails to choose from and we enjoyed a hurricane, a Bloody Mary (with bacon!) and incredible old fashioned type of drink. (Not all for 1 person! But all people desired more. ) Appetizers was the best of the meal. Hindsight would have been helpful. Oder 3 of these I would say. With several gf items on the menu it was hard to pick one. Seeing fried green tomatoes, gf, I opted for those. Here's where a star was lost. They should be soft on the inside but 2 were like they were just picked off the vine. The eggs that came with the dish were good but they were served on an English muffin. Hello! Wheat on a gf dish is a no-no. A gf muffin was delivered later- too late to go with my eggs. My husband got the waffles with carmelized bananas. He said the bananas were not anything special. Dessert that's gf seems to always be a real issue. None were listed as such. I was able to choose one without the cookie attached. They replaced it with almonds which was a nice gesture. If we go next year I would choose more of a lunch choice and skip the eggs. And definitely the fried green tomatoes!"

The Warehouse Restaurant & Gallery

★★★★☆ 3.9 (246) • $$

"We frequent the Warehouse for any special occasion that comes our way! James, the chef, is so kind and welcoming. He remembers his guests and occasionally stops by for a quick hello and to check on the meal.Wait staff is excellent and on top of their game as well! I love the feeling of the art gallery integrated into the dining room. The art changes often, so it's always a refreshed pallet when we go. My favorite dishes are pictured below - the meats are always perfectly cooked and seasoned. The crime brûlée is the absolute best I've ever had. This may just be my favorite place!"

La Casa Fiesta Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (309) • $$

"Easy access. I use walker or canes; this has a sloped entry or a two step approach. Great! Covered open air dining (with umbrella for each table) or in inner rooms. Background music not overly loud; we conversed easily in the open seating area. Food was prepared well, hot & tasty. Our waitress was attentive, alert to our needs & helpful in selections. Being a "senior," I could select from the children's menu: so, I'll not be eating leftovers this week. . Cost: quite reasonable for what we ate. Easy off-on from I-25; just go west, folks; go west!"

The Lumber Baron Inn & Gardens

★★★★☆ 4.2 (157)

"What a beautiful building! The staff was friendly, the ambiance itself was incredible. However, I'm not sure I've ever had afternoon tea that was not served in individual small pots or steepers. The tea itself was lovely and served in beautiful China but was missing suggested steep times."

Wrigley's Chicago Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (208) • $$

"I came strictly for the Italian Beef sandwich, but the wife and I decided to turn it into a Friday afternoon happy hour/date night. First time here and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at what a nice establishment they have. Family owned and operated, the lady owner came up and said hello. Super friendly, I was curious and had some questions. She showed me all the upgrades they are doing. The patio is very big, and they were setting up for live music that evening. The waitress lacked that fun personality, but she was attentive and did get the job done. I liked their happy hour drink special. Basically $1 off whatever you choose. Nice! Keeping it simple. This is NOT a dive bar nor super upscale. I felt it fit the bill just right. We will be returning. PS. I'm from Chicago and It's hard to find a Chicago Style Italian beef here in Colorado. This place is the real deal when it comes to their selection of Chicago food. Outstanding!!"

Uncorked Kitchen & Wine Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (130) • $$

"Taking a cooking class at Uncorked is a great way to to mix it up for date night. My husband and I love cooking together, but we don't get much of a chance to do it at home since one of us takes the lead on cooking while the other one is busy chasing around a toddler. We signed up for Along the Shores of the Mediterranean, which has a menu that would be easy to replicate at home. Best part was that the course was well timed. We had the opportunity to prepare almost every dish except the dessert on our own. There was even time to sit down and enjoy the meal while chatting with new people. And don't forget about those gorgeous mountain views! Our menu consisted of the following:+White Wine Steamed Mussels with Tomatoes, Olives and Basil+ Grilled Halloumi with Rosemary- Grape Walnut Relish and Baguette+ Cod with Pancetta, Artichokes, and Olives+ Lemon Olive Oil Cake with Whip CreamGiven that it's only a three-hour class, the learning part consisted of a very brief refresh on knife skills and cooking technique. It was a fun and memorable evening; we would love to return for another date night!"

Briarhurst Manor

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (196) • $$$

"Haven't have there in years. Great for special occasions. It's an institution in town. Food, service and ambiance is superior."

Podium Karting and Events

★★★★☆ 3.5 (163)

"Came here in a large around 15 for a friend's birthday. *Made reservations I want to start by saying this is totally not my thing but it was still a blast. You fill out a waiver and take a picture at the beginning as they print out your times. (don't forget to pick a killer nick name) They let around 7 people race at a time and while you wait for your turn you can order food and watch on the track. Drinks are only for after you drive. They have a quick 5-minute training video to tell you all the do and don'ts. You can bring in your own cake if you are going for a birthday. The actual racing was so fun. I was very out of my element so obviously I didn't do well and crashed into the side of the railings. Beyond embarrassing but the workers ran to help me and were so concerned. I was not hurt at all just stuck in the barrier and very embarrassed. I finished the race and followed the rules of the flags that they wave. I did have to sign a form after to make sure I was okay. Travis the bartender and Matthew were so nice after I... crashed. lol I'm sure that is a rare experience as I suck at this stuff but it was a great time! Great for events and office, friend, birthday get together. Its definitely more fun if you know the people that you are racing with. Thanks for a good time. Overall, 4.5/5"

Noonan's Sports Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (143) • $$

"At the golf course. Service was great. Food took a long time to come out. The breakfast burrito was good. The beef stroganoff was ok. The meat good, but the sauce was not correct at all. They made a Mac n cheese sauce, lots of vicosity - gooey fake cheese type. No sour cream in the sauce. Overall it's like Golden Corral food. If that works for you - go for it."

Saucy’s Southern Barbecue & Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.3 (88) • $$

"This barbecue spot is bomb!! We loved everything we got but especially the wings, baked beans, green beans, and corn.The brothers running this shop were super kind, courteous, and friendly too. Will definitely be back!"

Archetype Distillery

★★★★★ 4.9 (58) • $$

"A group of friends and I went to Archetype Distillery for the distillery tour and tasting. This truly is a Denver hidden gem that does not need to be missed!The tour began, and ended, in the tasting room/bar. Michael, the owner, gave us a history of the building and a background on the business. I always love when you can hear and see the vision of the owner. It really helps you appreciate their proverbial blood, sweat, and tears that went into opening the doors to the public.It took about two years for the renovation of the building to its current state. From the atmosphere to the selection of spirits, Archetype Distillery is a great place to hang out. They even do private events. You get a couple of choices for your tasting, and both are smooth. After the tour, we also ordered the Kitty Galore and I had an Angel's Flight so I could try the beef jerky, habanero, and dill vodkas. Those with a keen eye will notice the ice cubes are actually top hats, which is a theme at Archetype Distillery. (If you want to know why, you'll have to take the tour!)Be sure you check in on Yelp for the BOGO on Thursday and Friday nights!"

Escape The Place

★★★★☆ 3.9 (52)

"We did the kids room PeterPan for my 7 year old grandson it was our first experience with an escape room . The staff was friendly and patient we will definitely come back for another escape room"

Shining Mountain Golf Course

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (50)

"This course has beautiful scenery! Surrounded by Mountain views and pretty houses. We've played many places over the years-- fancy and casual. This course is definitely more relaxed and a great deal if looking for a few rounds and don't want to spend a ton of $$$. It was $45/ person for 18 holes. The course itself was not terribly difficult, but there was some narrow fairways that made it challenging at times. Our only complaint was cart paths were pretty rough in places due to washed out gravel. The service and other patrons were WONDERFUL! Our group of 4 agreed that everyone we came into contact with was SUPER friendly:) , overall the friendliest place we've ever played away from home. We had a great day! Thank you!!"

D Bar Central Park

★★★★☆ 3.9 (26)

"Came in for grab-and-go cupcakes and left with those, a tiramisu, and a roasted tomato tart. All were really very good. 4.5 stars because pricing was just a touch on the high side."
