Odyssey Gastropub

Odyssey is always an amazing spot to grab some food. The beer list is excellent, they have spirits of all kinds to keep you happy, and the food is spirited and delicious. They don't leave good enough alone, they improve and create amazing dishes and change it up from time to time. (Only odd off item is the floors there can be slippery due to whatever they may be waxed with, footwear oddly can matter as fun soles shoes are like walking on ice)

I was in town on business and my colleagues and I decided to check out Odyssey Gastropub in Downtown Colorado Springs for dinner, as recommended by one of our local business partners.It was easy to find the location but we did walk a couple blocks from where we parked. There are metered parking around the downtown area so make sure to snag the first open space you see.Upon entering Odyssey, we were greeted by a young lady who sat us down across from the bar. The interior was cozy with a welcoming atmosphere. The decor had upside-down lamps, which I had never seen before.When it came down to order, my coworker and I decided to share an order of Last Wing Standing and Crispy Brussels as they were out of the Korean Pork Belly Bites that night. The crispy Brussel sprouts were delicious. For the chicken wings, we divided it with 2 flavors: Pineapple Teriyaki and Parm Garlic. The garlic parmesan wings were okay - A little tough. We did, however, enjoy the pineapple teriyaki wings and wished we ordered a full plate of that.The server checked in on us and was great. The only thing she didn't hear was that we wanted to pay on a single check; instead, she split the check between each person. No worried for us but I'm guessing that was just extra work on her part as we did ask to pay on one check.Overall, the food was great and the service was pleasant. I would come back and order the Brussel sprouts again with a side of their pineapple teriyaki wings. Yum!

Atmosphere and service were great! I can see why some people highly recommended this place for drinks & dinner. We opted in for their Pioneer Burger & Mac and Cheese. Both were delicious, I actually think I preferred Mac and Cheese a bit more than the burger. The pork belly that came with had an asian fusion vibe to it that just completed the dish. We honestly didn't read the menu carefully, so we had ordered it with some chicken but it is definitely filling without it!

We ventured to this restaurant on a recommendation from someone we were with for the day. Our server, Allison, took very good care of us. Checked in on us frequently. The cocktail list is decent. The names are all movie references. I thought that was a fun twist. The burgers two in our party had looked amazing! Apparently the " burger sauce" is killer. The ambiance was quirky and fun. Who doesn't like lamps hanging upside down from the ceiling?

Good hearty food, enthusiastic servers. We went on a weekday before 5 which I strongly recommend. It can get crazy in there! Had the wings (pricy but HUGE and perfectly cooked, fish and chips, and chicken and waffles. Good drinks too!

Excellent food, service, and drinks. This was some of the best fish and chips I've ever had, especially in-land. And the chicken and waffles had redeemed the dish my mind. I love waffles, and after so many disappointing waffles in many dishes, this was awesome. The chicken was tender and juicy inside with a great crunch and spice. The waffle was perfectly crunchy and great texture despite additional ingredient inclusions, I'm a sucker for cornmeal waffles. The only down side to the dish was the jam that the waffles rest on makes them soggy, but the top remained crispy. Still the best chicken and waffles that i can remember.

Odyssey is a great place to eat and drink. Odyssey holds a record that I never thought would be broken. This may be slightly different than a traditional review so skip over if you don't appreciate personal stories. When I was a young boy my mom would make us brussels sprouts and we couldn't leave the table until we finished them. They were disgusting. So disgusting that even my dog wouldn't eat them. I swore that once I was old enough to cook, I would never again eat brussels sprouts. I made them for other people but they would never touch my lips. That promise remained unbroken for decades. Unbroken until I went to Odyssey. You see, we were meeting a friend who had moved up here and recommended the place. I figured what the hell and tried their brussels sprouts. Damn son. These Brussels are amazing and have turned my hatred into love.Other than the sprouts, Odyssey has great service and a great beer selection. They also have a very good Cubano sandwich you should try.This is one of my favorite spots in Colorado Springs. If you find yourself in town for Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, or anything else, you should come here.

We got a table right away but had to wait around 15 minutes for our server to come. She was apologetic but that pretty much explained the rest of the night. It took around 40 minutes for our food to come. The food itself was alright, pretty average. The Pioneer Burger was not bad and we got a side of pork green chili fries which fell short. The fries were okay but the pork green chili was a little bland, we've certainly had better. The salmon dish was okay. I did enjoy the cucumbers which taste more salty than sour but good with the salmon and rice. The rice itself was just average and it had some carrots and edamame throughout. The salmon was the best part of the dish but wasn't even that great. Waiting for our server to come back with our check took awhile again. Maybe they are not this slow every night but with the average food we definitely won't be going back. I did appreciate how apologetic the servers were but yea.

Ended up loving our drinks here so much that we forgot to take any photos haha! But the ambiance is great, including some kick-ass music they play. Our bartender by the name of Marge is absolutely fabulous & super friendly in general, would come back just for more conversations with her! We only ended up getting drinks here & happened to come during their happy hour, enjoyed 4 whiskeys for $15 & definitely will be coming back for more happy hours here in the future. Some of the cheaper drinks in the immediate area & can't go wrong with their outdoor seating, if you can come in time to snatch it up!

Stopped in recently for a late lunch and it was unexpectedly busy. Nevermind tho- I was seated right away, and though very busy, my server ensured I was taken care of. Bacon jam burger was perfect and I just love their green chili. Ambiance is a little bit loud for my liking but I wont hesitate to go back.
