Lumen8 Rooftop Social

Lumen8 Rooftop Social is located on the 8th floor of the Element Hotel that is shared with Springhill Suites in Colorado Springs.I stayed at the Element Hotel on 2 separate business trips and got to check out Lumen8 during my stay.I came during the Fall for my first trip and the weather was perfect. The views from the rooftop during the evening was beautiful and I can only imagine how much more beautiful it is to see the backdrop of the mountains. My colleague and I had drinks in Lumen8's patio and they really made the cocktail strong. I believe the one I had was called Lumen8 Spritz.During my second trip, I came back up to have a light dinner inside their dining area since it was a cold 24°F winter. I ordered a Lumen8 Caesar and added Grilled Chicken, and had a Rosé to start. To end the meal, I asked if they would jazz up my scoop of vanilla ice cream with raspberry coulis and they made it happen. Of course, it was an extra charge but I absolutely loved that they accommodated my request - it was perfect IMO!Each visit, the service I received during my experience here was great. They really went above and beyond to provide a wonderful experience.Overall, this was a great spot to enjoy some drinks, the city views, and a delicious dinner with great service!

Delicious! Would highly recommend. Hunter, our server, was very nice - he didn't want to substitute w for brussel sprouts but we worked that out. The ambiance is semi-upscale and comfortable, and again the food is delicious. The music is on a good volume, and the overall atmosphere was positive. I'm visiting and will always remember my experience.

Food: donut holes = amazing!! The Bison plate wasn't what I expected but it was my first time having bison. Not too bad. Could have used a little more seasoning in my opinion! Wifey got French toast with Nutella and bananas. That was actually super delicious! We mentioned in the reservation that it was our honey moon, and they paid for our donut holes ‍Service was great! Can't remember the guys name but he was quite the gentleman. He was also working as the bartender. The rooftop was very beautiful and we sat right next to the fire place. The atmosphere was my favorite part.

Busy place on a Saturday night. Service was great. I enjoyed some humus and a mocktail

We stopped into Lumen8 on our first night stay at our hotel. They have a free happy hour for guests Monday-Thursday from 4-630. It includes a small cheese tray and a drink. We had no problem being seated at the bar at 5pm on a Thursday. The ambiance is fantastic. I loved all the hanging plants. The staff were very friendly. I will definitely come back and check out other items on the menu. Their patio/roof also looks amazing to be experienced in warmer months.

Probably the beat view in Colorado Springs! We came once on a rainy day and were able to see several rainbows over the city. Service was efficient and friendly. Plates had a nice presentation and there was a nice selection of plates for all kinds of eaters. This is nice for a date night, a night out with friends or even a drink at the bar alone. Pro tip- if you stay at the hotel, be sure to take advantage of the happy hour. The free wine and app is totally worth it!

Went here for a local bartender competition and had an amazing night!!! The food and drinks were outstanding and the service was really good too. A bunch of the local bars and speak easies sent out their best bartenders and they hosted a competition. I made reservations and the girlfriend and I had a really special night here. The atmosphere is modern and very nice inside. The outside area is very nice with great mountain views and fire pits to help keep you warm. Highly recommend this rooftop bar if you're looking for a fun night out.

Went one snowy Friday night hoping that we could catch the crowd. Well, no crowd was there... and the service took forever even though we literally were the only ones there minus a few at the bar. Everyone was pleasant but it just seemed like the place was bummed it wasn't more packed. The food was absolutely delicious, the view exceptional. The seating choices were rough. Either uncomfortable high tops with no back, or DEEP sofa chairs that you couldn't sit up in. I want to have hope for COS. This could be an exceptional hotspot for young locals, probably different in the summer?

Food was good! A-Ambiance was A++ such views of the mountains!!Service was very good! A-The view and the vibe were outstanding! I love the rooftop!!!I wish the drinks were a bit more generous. Very small pours for wine and cocktails. C-

We decided to go to this restaurant for dinner on Valentine's Day and for brunch the next morning, but both experiences were disappointing. First of all, the service was impeccable. The host, bartender and servers were fast, friendly, welcoming, accommodating and professional. Loved them all!The views were wonderful and the atmosphere was very nice for celebrating. The food, however, was subpar and not as expected for the price level. The menu offered for Valentine's Day was very limited, uninspiring and disappointing: a choice of Salmon, Buffalo or Gnocchi. No steak, no shellfish, as would be anticipated for this holiday. The Corn Chowder was awful and I sent it back. The Buffalo Short Rib was tender, but boring. Gnocchi was heavy, dense, gluey and not good. The service, ambiance and convenience (we were staying in the hotel) saved the experience from receiving a lower rating from us because of the second-rate food, so we decided to give it another try for brunch in the morning. Sadly, the food at brunch was also substandard. Again service was wonderful and our Server really tried to make up for our bad experience. We ordered the standard Bacon, Eggs, Sausage, Potatoes and Toast. The toast was dry (no butter provided) and our bacon and toast were both burnt, but the cook had flipped the burnt sides down on the plate, so our Server missed it. We sent them back and the replacements were also unacceptable: Bacon was almost raw now and the toast was still burnt. Very frustrating, and we won't be back, nor will we recommend Lumen8 to Colorado Springs friends.
