I have to say that Icons is absolutely the best Colorado Springs experience. Every single bartender can sing better than most Vegas performances. This is the best experience I've ever had at a bar. If I could leave a billion stars I would. Colorado Springs has needed an LGBT+ experience this good for so long.

This place breaks the mold of what an LGBT bar feels like. It’s more of a talent bar that happens to be LGBT. I traveled and found myself lucky to have found this gem. I only wish for more to follow this business model. It feels like every member of this establishment was carefully chosen for their talent! Congratulations for breaking the mold… Thank you!!!!

Icons is such an amazing bar in town! There is nothing like it and it raises the bar in Colorado Springs! The atmosphere is unbeatable and the decor is absolutely beautiful. My two favorite things are the Dolly Parton bathroom and the talent of each server! I'm so stoked to have Icons here in the Springs!

We went for Drag Bingo Brunch. 5 stars for entertainment and overall vibe. The decor and atmosphere was so amazing! The food was very pricey and we left hungry. Very small portions and it wasn’t delicious by any means. Huge heads up to parents, drag bingo brunch is listed as family friendly but it is not. The drag queen and our server were so fun and very talented!

Apparently making reservations means nothing at this establishment. My wife made reservations yesterday for 8pm stage-view seating as we were really looking forward to attending the show. We walked in to find all those seats taken. The server attempted to seat us in the very back, but were told someone had taken those seats as well. We were then informed that judges for the show were in our reserved seats and that the show was sold out. Why would you allow more people in than you are able to accommodate?! If I were the manager I would have had the judges move and stand somewhere so that guests' reservations could be honored. This was hugely disappointing as there are such few queer establishments in the Springs, and my wife was looking to treat me to a nice evening out before I have to leave with the military for awhile. We won't be back.

We stopped in at Icons for a little entertainment and few drinks while in Colorado Springs. It's not a big place, but it also has a downstairs and a back patio. The atmosphere was festive and it was a lively crowd. The drinks were reasonably priced and strong. What's not to like!

The cocktails left something to be desired- maybe it was what we ordered (the creamy variety). Five plus stars in the service, ambiance and talent department! Just absolutely wow all around. Really impressed with the quality of talent - listen to these other reviews. My friend and I were originally seated at the back and the host immediately moved us to the front of the house when there was an opening. Absolutely fabulous restrooms too - both unique! Just trust me - a gem of the springs. Wow.

My wife and I stumbled upon this bar exploring Colorado Springs on a vacation for our one year anniversary and absolutely fell in love. Every single bar tender was insanely kind and attentive. They all take turns singing throughout their shift and the talent is immaculate. Janae, Finn, Zach, and Ryan were amazing in every way. I will be recommending this place to everyone I know who lives in/visits Colorado Springs.

So glad this place exists! It's a small venue so make sure to make a reservation. If you are there to see a show or drag show, you'll want to reserve upstairs versus the basement and you'll pay a small cover charge. Make sure to bring cash to tip the performers! The service is excellent and they really try to accomodate you but since it's a tight venue and gets very packed, it gets difficult to maneuver. The drinks are tasty and the food is delish. The performers are fantastic. You would normally pay $20-$50 cover for shows like this in Denver or other places. I hope in the future they are able to move into a bigger space to be able to have a larger performance area.

Came in on a friend's recommendation after our wedding to celebrate and just fell in LOVE! I'm seriously tempted to move back to the Springs just so I can frequent this bar. First of all, the talent level is just INSAAANE. You'd have to pay serious money to have this entertainment anywhere else. Secondly, the drinks are so good. I wasn't even in the mood to drink but could not resist the Dolly Parton or Lil Nas X on the Beach. Strong, but not too strong, and very tasty. Great atmosphere! Can't wait to come back.

THE BEST PLACE IN THE SPRINGS!!!! So much talent, delicious drinks and the kindest owners and staff. I cannot express how lovely and beautiful this spot is. It has made our downtown scene feel like a family and also… you should have to pay a lot of money to even watch the singers on stage! They are INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!

A great place with a fantastic atmosphere. Bartenders/Singers are amazing! So friendly and the patrons are too! Visiting from Houston and came several times! Thank you to all the performers but Tia, Ann, Mark, Zack and Angela are amazing!

Icons is without a doubt, a bar that will make you feel welcome, feel loved, feel like a part of a family. The talent of the bartenders (doubling as live singers) is truly beyond anything else you can get expect to find in Colorado Springs. They don't just raise the standard. They establish it. The next time you find yourself in the downtown area, be sure to pay them a visit. The memory you make will truly be Iconic.

Amazing. Showed up on a quiet stormy afternoon with my wife and felt so welcome. Enjoyed a mezcal grapefruit concoction recommended by Leo the bartender. Loved it. Great recommendation. Leo then began to sing for us and I honestly felt we did not deserve the talent that was presented to us. We did not realize the bartenders double as entertainment! He was so gracious and cognizant of our first time at the bar. The feeling was extremely welcoming and we left on a joyous vibe that made our night. 100% will come back again. This was the first time here, but not the last if we’re ever in then downtown area.

Waited literally 15 minutes at the bar before I had to wave someone down just to get a drink! It wasn’t even very busy! Seemed like a super fun bar, one of the bartenders sang a couple songs. Great voice!!! Highlight of the evening. Surprised they reserve seats on a Saturday night! Good mix of boys and girls. A lot of young feminine women and good looking! Great music, well decorated and lighted!

I love going to this bar to just relax and be amongst my peeps. I also love the fact that the bartenders are musically inclined. My most favorite singer is the guy with the dimples. Hey dimples, I need a male best friend😉🔥 I went this weekend (9/23/2023) and had a fabulous time. One of the bartenders (sorry, I don’t remember her name) was sooo helpful. She helped me to the bathroom because, well let’s just say, I was a little “light” on my feet. lol! She grabbed my hand and assisted me to the bathroom, more than once. She was very helpful and I felt like she genuinely cared about my wellbeing. Thanks, friend. I will be going back.

Great place and amazing atmosphere. I've never been to place where the bar staff are all vocalist so it was a lovely surprise that I enjoyed so much. I ended up going back with mother who had grown up Hollywood and missed places like this. Drag Bingo on Saturdays with Belzin Whistlez is so much fun. She is very witty and entertaining. 100% worth the trip downtown.

Reserved a table for my birthday and had an amazing experience! The staff were friendly and helpful, it was clean and very well decorated, and the mixed drinks were the best!! Everyone loved the drag show and we will definitely be back again!

Very small venue, not a dance club, but more of an entertainment spot. I recommend reservations. The service recieved was okay, the singers we're okay, they like to just belt music so if that is not for you then pick something else. Bring ear plugs if you stay a while, they have the volume way too loud and takes away from the performers/bartenders.

What a wonderful bar. The bartenders split their shifts, tending bar and singing from musicals. We were sitting near the end of the bar and before he went up to sing asked us our favorite musical. He then went up to sing from Dear Evan Hanson my friends favorite musical. The specialty drink menu are all puns or takes on gay icon names. I had this amazing Manhattan called the Ethel Mermanhattan. It was fantastic. Bathrooms are unisex with themes...the closest one is a Dolly Parton theme...music included. It was just a warm and friendly experience from when we first entered the door. Highly recommend

Wow!!! What an incredible place. The bartenders who sing Finn / janae are so amazing and should be on a stage in front of thousands of people. Great drinks. I had the cotton candy champagne bomb so delish. Can’t recommend this place enough

Met a friend for happy hour right when they opened, and was blown way by the talent! Leo single-handedly served drinks, sang beautifully, and got our food from the kitchen. Can't wait to return!

The decor, the drinks, the dogs!!! Everything about this place is wonderful. Oh and of course the warm and welcoming staff that also sing their faces off for you. Truly a gem here in Colorado Springs, a gem that I treasure and will return to again and again. The cocktails are PERFECT. I'm usually kinda picky, especially when it comes to sweetened cocktails. At most places I have to ask for them to add less of whatever the sweet element is, but the Icons cocktails are mixed perfectly. The singing staff is truly VERY talented. No qualifiers necessary. You're getting actual professional singers, not just people who can carry a tune. I'm obsessed with the decor, but obviously you can see that in the pictures so you don't need me to go on and on about that.

I cannot say enough good things about Icons!! The staff is incredibly talented, kind, and just so wonderful. The drinks are delicious and the charcuterie and hot dogs soooo good. The atmosphere is the best thing about Icons, though. Which is mostly because of the amazing staff! If you come early ish (6-7), even on a weekend, it has a coffee house that serves alcohol kind of vibe. It’s amazing. As it gets dark, it’s so cozy and fun. This is the only bar info to (and I go all the time) and I ADORE every single thing about it. AND! A gay bar in Colorado Springs!! LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!

This place is a gold mine of amazing decor, beverages and food, entertainment, service, and great experiences. We just went last night for my wife's birthday and had an absolutely amazing experience. It's such a warm and welcoming bar with that neighborhood feel. We want to become regulars. We will become regulars. We will be back! Just a perfect night!

So happy to find this place upon moving to the Springs! A friendly, welcoming, positive atmosphere, incredibly talented and sweet staff, great decor, tasty drinks, and love the gourmet hotdogs. Blown away by the talent found here. Will keep coming back again and again :) bring cash to tip the performers, they deserve every dollar!
