District Elleven

Bar tender was amazing, we showed up at opening time so had the place to our selves for a while. Many different types of drinks to try.

I had trouble finding it!! But I'm glad I did!! You can enter through the front of Tbyrdz Tacos & Tequila Bar (clear to the back... pull hard on the vault door) or through the back entrance in the alleyway. Dark, moody deco with great vintage seating options.... Group or intimate. The bartender Alex was amazing. I had the Tejon Tommy, which is a warm whiskey drink. Perfect for the freezing cold night I was experiencing this trip. I'll definitely be back to try the food.

Short Version: GO TO THIS BAR IMMEDIATELY. Long Version: This bar is EASILY one of the coolest bars I have ever stepped foot in. THE WAY in which this place needs to be on EVERYONE'S itinerary when visiting the springs is an understatement. I visited with some friends on a bachelorette trip, and it's rare when a bar hits all the marks:1) Incredible interior with floor to ceiling art you could get lost in? Check.2) Comfy armchairs that make you want to sip expensive whiskey and inside trade? CHECK3) Fun, social, and expert bartenders who can curate your own custom cocktail? Double Check.4) Owners who are just as fun and welcoming, whose love and time you can see in the very artwork on the walls and antique upholstery? YUP.5) INCREDIBLE FOOD? You got it. (We had this wonderful gnocchi with ragu and a hint of cumin and mint-- fantastic)Overall, we had such a BLAST at this place, all thanks to the incredible bartenders and owners who made us feel so welcome and provided such a fun, wonderful, and curated experience.And if you have read this far--1) thank you and 2) ... stop reading and go to this bar. Your photo library, stomach, heart, soul-- won't regret it

Lovely ambiance and atmosphere. Super neat speakeasy vibe. Popped in during happy hour to check it out.

This has got to be one of the coolest bars I've ever been too! There is so much to look at everywhere, the staff is amazing and kind, and the drinks were wonderful! I had an old fashioned and everyone in my group loved it - even those who typically would pass on whiskey. This bar has a cool peaky blinders theme and vibe to it and is a must-see!

A superb atmosphere. Cozy, inviting and interesting. The snacks and drinks were high quality and the staff were all beyond friendly and accommodating.

Very cool atmosphere, great small bites, amazing drinks with a huge selection of bourbon whiskeys, and the service was top notch!

I believe Distiiict Elleven is known for their drinks and they certainly provide great drinks. Love the Old Fashioneds but most definitely like the scotch with ginger more. Not sweet but full of flavor. Definitely a new go-to drink. The food is another shining star of D 11. We got 3 aps and the strip steak. All good but the aps were definitely amazing! The Piquillo peppers are not only gluten free but dairy free also (goat cheese instead of cow). Even my meat eating husband liked it! The Carne Adobada tacos (3) were incredible and flavorful. Definitely not a regular, run of the mill taco. Our last ap was the seafood trio. So good and gluten free fried seafood! How many places can offer this? We will certainly be back!

Only one night in Colorado Springs and we definitely wanted to go downtown. We chose Mood but the kitchen was closed when we arrived. The gentleman in the front was sympathetic and suggested some places to try so we walked outside to try to find another place... I have no idea whether or not this place is a super secret and he felt bad for us or he really just forgot, but homeboy came outside running after us like an infomercial "but wait.. there's more!!" He mentioned to us there is a speak easy in the back serving up a small menu. Intrigued we decided to follow him to the back of the restaurant and down a little art filled corridor. Have you ever seen Harry Potter? He opened that door and we felt like we were in one of the house chambers! The ceiling was super high and there was all sorts of random vintage artwork high up on the walls. The place was dimly lit and had one heck of a bar. Really awesome atmosphere, I feel liked I was welcomed into an exclusive bar. The menu is limited, but they had wagu beef and charcuterie, a girl can never go wrong!I ordered wine and charcuterie. Great charcuterie plate with nuts, meat, cheese and this yummy jam and served with a toasted baguette. Fantastic service by Colby! Now everyone there are two Colby's here so make sure funny Colby knows that I sent you! Quick note:While we were seated at this sweet little table, we met a local who informed us that you can enter and exit this place from the alley (which connects to other bars and restaurants from the back of their businesses).

Very cool place. Beautiful inside and really excellent cocktails and friendly staff. (And since apparently each Yelp review now needs to have at least 85 characters, I'll add that I enjoyed myself.)
