Colorado Springs boasts a variety of ways to spend a Rocky Mountain evening. If your taste runs toward line-dancing and country-western music, mosey on over to Cowboys. This dance palace may be just the place to see real cowboys taking a turn on the parquet floor. Along with a terrific selection of beers, you'll find traditional Irish music on tap most nights at Jack Quinn's Irish Alehouse & Pub. Zydeco and other roots-style bands have been known to play here too.
Live music from bands playing in a variety of styles is offered on weekends at Meadow Muffins, a sports bar and grill in the Old Colorado City historic district. The bar at the Ritz Grill is the watering hole of choice for Colorado Springs' young professional types. The Ritz packs them in with good food, good liquor, and live rock music. More rock music, along with pool, arcade games, and (of course) darts make for good times at Murray Street Darts. If you're itching for a good chuckle, Loonees Comedy Corner presents the best standups on the national circuit.
For an evening of elegant entertainment, drop by the Broadmoor. This refined resort, established in 1918 and long the playground of vacationing millionaires, offers several interesting options for a night on the town. A small "orchestra" provides smooth music for dancing in The Tavern, built in the 1930s to celebrate the repeal of prohibition, and The Golden Bee, an actual English pub bought at auction and reassembled at the Broadmoor, serves "yards of ale" to fuel the ragtime-piano sing-alongs for which it's so famous.
