What it is…the place where national acts would play who are also playing in Denver. It's too big to support a local show on it's own (it seems empty even with a 100 kids in there), but would be great for NIPP to book local bands to open for the national acts …hint, hint.

Colorado Springs, CO
719-578-6876

Cowboy's
3910 Palmer Park Blvd
Colorado Springs, CO
719-596-1212
What it is not…with a name like Cowboys, you won't be able to trip the lights fantastic to any Gloria Gaynor or do the YMCA. But there's plenty of Coors Light on tap.

First Draft Choice (FDC)

Colorado Springs, CO
719-290-6805
Booking info: Rick/RC Productions, rckicksass@aol.com
What it is…mostly known for catering to the mullet crowd, Rick is starting to book more local bands. But…there was a problem with the Laymen Terms show when he notified their manager of their inability to support an all-ages show - the night of the show with 40 people already in the club. This forced the manager to scramble and move the show moved to the Boulder Café. Just a warning…

What it is…on Fridays and Saturdays you can suck down their fab Margarita's to the festive mariachi music of Duo Sanchez.

Hide 'N Seek
512 W. Colorado Ave
Colorado Springs, CO
719-634-9303
What it is…being the only after-hours club in the Springs (that we know of), this is where people end up if they still haven't scored at the Ritz or Tequila's. Unfortunately for them (funny for the rest of us), guys don't always know this is a gay/lesbian dance club, but soon find out once they've made it to the dance floor. And if they couldn't have figured it out by the club's name, it's their own damn fault.

Jose Muldoon's
222 North Tejon
Colorado Springs, CO
719-636-2311
What it is…although their tequitos taste more like pizza rolls, they're starting to get Reggae bands to play on Sundays in the late afternoon. When the weather warms up consistently, I can see them pulling up the big garage door for sidewalk dining and drinking, making it a great atmosphere for hangin' with friends and listening to some lazy jams.

Tequila's Bar & Grill
25 N Tejon St
Colorado Springs, CO
719-630-0500
What it is…the standard meat market scenario. DJs play generic techno, either by their own accord (or from what we heard) at the request of the owners/managers. A place to meet Mr./Ms. Right Now.

204 N Union Blvd
Colorado Springs, CO
719-633-7863

Three Amigo's
296 S Academy Blvd #L
Colorado Springs, CO
719-574-0924
What it is…one of three establishments owned by Steve Martin. The other two are in Fresno and Bakersfield California. It's known as a hot spot for those lovely bachelorette parties where they make the bride wear a veil, drink out of penis straws, and order rounds of blowjob shots. Okay we're lying. We've never been there. And now, will never be allowed in.

Shuga's
702 S. Cascade Avenue
Colorado Springs, CO
719-328-1412
What it is…the owners are Portland, OR transplants, bringing with them the design and café savvy to give the Springs a badly needed dose of urban culture. They have acoustic musicians in on occasion, offer appetizers and a full-bar in addition to the coffee bar. The crowd spans from college students kicking back with friends to business types wanting to chill with a nice glass of merlot after a long day of insurance underwriting.
