Ordered a burger and fries which had a nice char flavor. The fries could use help. The staff and bartenders are amazing people who make you feel welcomed, as an out of towner, I felt like a regular there.

* This is the official Colorado Springs Cleveland Browns Backer Bar - if in town and a fan.The place is really nice with pool table, darts, beer pong, and there is an upstairs. They have other board games as well.The Mac and cheese was good just the grilled chicken was too charred that tasted more char than chicken which made the chicken uneatable for me - maybe some like that.

The manager pj told me I could not request a song that is “ghetto” leaving me to believe that I cannot play rap music or popular music. The manager also yelled in my boyfriends face because he was simply trying to play a future song. Treating us like an inconvenience because we wanted to simply play a rap song at a bar. Unprofessional and racist management trying to physically fight us over a song request. Won’t get our money again. Honestly no people of color at all and the manager was extremely unprofessional.The bartender made my shots wrong and told me if I order them again she’ll make them right.Would give zero stars if possible

The staff is spot on and very enthusiastic. The customer definitely came first. The pool table is in excellent shape, I think the pool table needs to be moved about a foot away from the dartboards.
Stupid new bar manager doesn't know how math works so stay clear till this place gets new management in place. Watched them kick someone out after becoming hostile for someone abusing his dog, but claim to be dog friendly.

Good food and I’m happy they serve until 2am. I enjoy their themed nights and friendly bartenders. I agree that the place was generally better with new mgmt but I feel that may be slipping. Last night there were dogs on the countertop, barking, and being fed treats by hand by a non-employee woman who also was serving customers their food.In short, I believe this establishment is legally exposing themselves to both labor and health department violations by virtue of negligence, willful or not, from the owner.Long version:Had a weird experience last night where a customer was working as a server. I entered the bar and a lady, drinking a beer, stood up to come take my order. She kindly asked “what do you want?” and when I asked which types of beer were available she was unable to help me. I assume this is simply because she is not an employee. I then told her I would just order at the bar myself and she happily returned to her own barstool to continue her drink.I waited for a seat to open at the bar, then sat at the bar. I ended up sitting next to the non-employee woman, who I now realized is also openly vaping nicotine indoors. Thankfully, I heard the bartender (a charismatic and welcoming professional woman) quietly request that this woman move to the end of the bar, near the kitchen, so that customers could sit down. The woman followed the request, only to return back to her “reserved” barstool after maybe 10 minutes.I observed this woman for a bit. I thought she was the owner because it seemed that both bartenders were somewhat fearful or otherwise forced to not question this woman. She would attempts to joke, yelling at the bartenders to “get back to work!” I noticed that she was the only person laughing. And she was the only “employee” drinking.At another moment, I heard a dog loudly barking. I turn to see it appears to be a non-service animal with no identifying vest or patches that has all 4 paws on the bar countertop. I see this same woman barehanded and feeding the boisterous dog. She is standing behind the bar to do this and she is openly drinking beer from a glass. She was coming and going from behind the bar, in/out of the kitchen etc constantly. This woman was additionally serving food with the same bare hands. I never once observed her wash her hands or wear gloves.I was very confused about all of this, so I asked the bartender if the woman was the owner of the establishment. The bartender explained to me that this woman was the “girlfriend of one of the cooks.” I then asked if she was an employee or getting paid at all, to which the bartender replied “no.”When I had first asked the bartender if this woman was the owner , he displayed a stark change in demeanor which was outwardly nice and with a smile, yet seemed insincere. This is because I have been served by this bartender several times and I recognize that this is not how he normally speaks. This makes me think that the bartenders are somehow at the mercy of this woman, and makes me wonder why she has so much power over them.Overall this makes me question the integrity of this establishment, and generally makes the place feel unregulated, unmanaged, and overall unsafe.Parking: Treacherous and confusing parking lot. Stay vigilant.Kid-friendliness: No. This is a bar.

I love this place. It is my favorite watering holes in The Springs. All of the bartenders are awesome and know what I am ordering before I can get it out of my mouth. Management does a great job as well. My only complaint for this place is the music has a tendency to be a bit loud during the middle of the day.Food here is great as well. Maybe the best burger in town.
