This spot is THE BEE’s KNEES 🔥 stopped in for karaoke night and immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. The staff is beyond friendly, cool and genuine. I was thrilled by the misfit acceptance vibes! Had the pleasure of meeting so many great people. Can’t wait to come back to try the food that smelled so delicious my mouth was watering but I foolishly didn’t order in time.

Such a fun establishment. We have been twice and had a nice evening both times, our next goal is to see a show! This is a picture of my martini. I was a bit surprised when I took a sip because I always order a dirty martini and this looked too lite but I had a little spice to it and was yummy. Will have to order again to see if it’s the same or I just got lucky.

Brought my best friend from out of town and had the most amazing night in downtown COS until we came here. Our night was ruined by a fellow patron who was trying to hold a seat we paid for. When we took our seat we paid for- this patron got very upset with us and it escalated quickly to cursing and demanding we move. This of course caused a scene when we said we would not be giving up the seat we paid for. Staff came over and we were told we would be asked to leave or we needed to change our ways as this other patron was “ here every week”. I excused myself and went to the restroom where I overheard the patron talking to the hosts and saying we were threatening and cursing. Not accurate. We were met with being cursed out and yelled at by said patron and gave them what they were giving us. To which we responded with “we just want the seat we paid for.” When I respectfully told the hosts privately- after the rush and without the other patron present so as not to escalate further- that I overheard the lies this patron was telling from the bathroom- I was called a liar and told this patron was actually an employee and was “here all the time” To which I said I was a first time PAYING customer being treated horribly…there was zero acknowledgement or concern for this and it made for an uncomfortable evening we wasted money on. I asked for a different seat and was told there were none available. It was an awful experience and embarrassed us. Apparently new guests who actually pay mean nothing. We frequent all local businesses in town and love to promote inclusive small establishments in the Springs. This will not be one of them. ✨EDIT- ✨the manager Romero was in touch and acknowledged that some training needs to be done with the staff. He apologized and offered a VIP table and show that I politely declined. I appreciated him reaching out.

The staff are super friendly awesome environment and atmosphere. I usually hate clubs but this place I definitely be back ask about the bubble gum vodka martini you will thank me. The food is absolutely amazing as well.

Definitely not a place for food. The spaghetti and salad combo was over priced for the value. Salad seemed to be straight out of a bag. Cheesy garlic bread was meh, didn’t taste much like garlic mainly Texas Toast covered in cheese. Bruschetta was heavy on the balsamic, nothing extravagant. Greeter mentioned food was homemade Italian food however definitely was not on that level. The money spent here, could of made a real homemade meal.

La Burla Bee creates a fun, welcoming, and friendly space for all to enjoy. With amazing shows, a hopping night club, and wonderful employees. The food and drinks are delicious! The owner and management team work hard to ensure that all ideas are heard and that they make positive changes all the time! Security team is amazing and truly takes what they do seriously. Shows are breath taking and engaging.

This place is amazing. It has a super rich history as a venue and it's current transformation is beautiful. The staff and crowd was so fun. Don't miss the opportunity to check this place out!

This establishment is so much more than a bar a safe place a dance club. And this is why I think this place should recognized as a business that need an award created just for them that how great this place is. Before you read further if your homophobic then you need read no further.if your like me that has wondered if a safe place was real or myth. It's real and you share my view then you need to treat yourself, let's get to it. ,- the security team are respectful nice and are not demented just waiting for something to go down. They are not overly aggressive people and don't posture. Super nice had some cool conversations. - the bartenders yes I think things are sexy but the bartenders were really nice not once they were comfortable and confident but approachable. It was nice to meet and have convos with them with them told them they were beautiful. Didnt push drinks and didn't do fake service just for a tip. Real. Good service. They also seemed like they really enjoy what they do and who they work with. - the people that I met here were really just there to enjoy themselves and it felt like I wasn't the only one who felt comfortable to have fun be sexy and send good vibes. Be yourself let lose and no judgement. You cannot bottle that and sell it.but I saw women that were hating or not feeling as sexy as they deserve to feel and the se for the men. - There was a good healthy variety of age, from 20s to 50s most places only attract a certain demographic it's nice so have that mixture brings a better vibe. - the DJ was very skilled I asked for a song and it happened, and she really played good music. Thanks for reading -

I wanted to dance. They had a dance party starting at 10pm. I showed up at 9:30 to make sure it was a place I felt comfortable dancing at. I sat at the bar and was ignored for almost 20 minutes until I asked the bartender a few questions about the event and then left. I walked a block away to another bar, where I was greeted immediately. The contrast between the two make me have no interest in trying this venue again. Bummer.

I have never visited on a week night before, just come to the cabaret shows and beehive on Fri/Sat and to my surprise, I was missing out! I loved how their vaudeville (dining) room feels like a cabaret show every night; the lighting, the streaming show on stage, the decorations, the fancy feeling and of course the taste of the food! Definitely recommend any night of the week for a date night or a night out with friends. I enjoy the versatility of the space.

The burlesque shows are pure art, the drinks are spectacular, the food is to die for, and the staff are always themselves. If you have an open mind, this place is for you. Come be yourself and be happy. Kindness and love is the motto here!

This place is truly a hidden gem! The food was spectacular! The show was amazing! And the vibe was fun and inviting. It's really a place where you can get out and have fun. I will definitely be back! Highly recommend. Bring a few friends!! Stay for the DJ and club atmosphere that start when the show ends.

Such an incredible experience! Age, gender, race, sexual preference, body type… ALL are accepted here. It truly is a safe space! The security team is awesome. The bartenders are top notch. The entertainment never disappoints! And the food… Bunny’s Italian family recipes are delicious!

If you like EDM, nice people, and enjoy dancing then you are going to love this place. There are two dance floors and two bars so you have options. The bathrooms are gender neutral so don't trip when you enter and there's a dude washing his hands. 😁 This is my favorite place to party. I was shy going in but the other patrons coaxed me onto the floor and I ended up staying and dancing till closing time.

I love this place. Been going here for a year! The food is amazing. I highly recommend the cheesy bread and chicken Alfredo. I also recommend coming to a burlesque show and then to the dance party with Sammy sore eyes, because it's the time of your life! Best place to spend your birthday or bachelorette/bachelor party!!

This was my third time coming here! On the first trip my friend and I shared food for dinner and everything was amazing! The environment was so cool and everyone was open and friendly. The show that night was already booked, so we made plans to come back in a couple of weeks. We attended the Pop Versus Goth show and it was freaking empowering! I love this place! Beautiful people of all shapes and sizes, confident, sexy, happy, and free! SO MUCH FUN!!! We stayed and danced at the nightclub downstairs, The Bee Hive, and again, it felt like everyone was friends-- no judgement, only love, happiness, and freedom to be whoever you want to be. Last night we attended the Sci-fi cabaret and it was another wonderful time! Every show is different, but it's always entertaining and everyone had a smile on their face. Bunny Bee and everyone involved in La Burla Bee, THANK YOU! Thank you for the love, the laughs, the beauty, the F U N!!!!! We will keep coming back again and again to support this absolutely phenomenal environment!!

We've been to burlesque clubs before but this was a new experience and so exciting for Colorado Springs. The staff was attentive, kind, and just wonderful. The owner is spectacular. The performers deserve so much respect. The building and the decor deserve praise. I am so happy we randomly found La Burla Bee and want you to stay for good here in the Springs. Your vibe, your music, your decor, your staff, everything was fantastic. Will be back!

This venue has been completely transformed from the dark goth club it used to be, into a fresh, fun, vibrant and exciting cabaret lounge. I attended a burlesque show on Saturday night and I was completely blown away with my experience. Friendly staff, beautiful club and incredible performers. Wow just wow. The owners of this place have spent an absolute fortune on it by the looks of things. The whole place just glows. Even the bathrooms! I used to be a frequent visitor to the old underground in the 90s and 00s. The grungy goth look was great then, but La Burla Bee has polished that old dump and made it shine. Beautiful place. If you get a chance to go to a show here...DO IT! I will definitely be back.

I cant wait to come see this awesome place! Cant wait to perform there eventually also! As a bar owner and performer myself.... The peeps that run this are TOP NOTCH! They have always shown me nothing but kindness , welcomed me when I was just beginning in the burlesque community, also let me take a gander at the space as they were getting it up and running! It definitely is a gem and something to be so proud of! Whatever your vibe is, this place can be for you! It's about inclusion, great entertainment and I hear awesome food and drink that won't break the bank! YES PLEASE!!

Everything about the Bee is perfect. Bunny Bee’s food is absolutely to die for, The drinks are easily the best in town, you can literally feel the love in the community of people there (as others have said, the Springs needed an inclusive hangout like this), amazing performers who put their whole soul into their art, Brad and Bunny are the sweetest venue/bar owners you’ll ever meet, and the building itself is just absolutely gorgeous with a mind blowing setup. I had been looking into joining the burlesque community for years and had no idea where to start and didn’t even know if I’d be accepted into it. Not only has the troupe taken me under their wing and helped make my dreams come true, but I’ve found an amazing group of friends that feel like family and a place where I finally feel I belong. If you’re considering getting over there, don’t even hesitate. They welcome all.

The show was fun. Humorous, spicy, and great for those for whom it was the first or the fifth. The drinks were tasty and I love the building. What I did not love was that the tables were so incredibly cramped, it made dining difficult and less enjoyable. Additionally… dining… was less stellar. Show would easily be a 10, but the food maybe a 5. Next time I will eat first and then attend for a drink and show. I would recommend they try some catered desserts and make just the drinks for a show, I think trying to do dinner and the show is resulting in one success and one miss.

I tried to attend a show last year for my birthday because I love Burlesque. I was sorely disappointed. It was over Thanksgiving and it gave big vibes that whoever was in charge wasn't on site. Nothing but incredibly unprofessional attitudes from every staff member from door to door. (Except Scott, I think his name was, but he never followed up about my raincheck.) We arrived super early hoping to eat but instead were ushered into a back bar where the performers were dressing & having cocktails and loudly inappropriate conversations for the situation. We were given awful service as the bar tender enjoyed all of her conversations first before pouring 2 awful cocktails. The entire time we were treated like intruders, not paying guests. When we got our seats they didn't resemble the diagram we chose from and our seats we pushed against a brick beam splitting us up and pushing us toward the two seats we didn't puchase at an incredibly intimate-sized table. We then tried to order an appetizer and the dish it was served on was awkwardly large for the tiny cocktail table, which we were sharing with strangers, so much so, that it became literally weird to eat at the dinner show. I tried asking the wait staff if we could move either seats at our table to to a table in the back of the room and we were given such extreme attitude disproportionate to my question that it triggered a panic attack in me and I left without seeing the show. (So much for "safe spaces' that it boastsed.) I tried to ask if we could get a raincheck and the staff never followed up which was on par for the rest of our experience. We could tell whomever ran these events wasn't there this time because it was so unprofessional and all the staff seemed unable to run their own show. Performers were pushing patrons out of line, storing drinks behind the ticket desk that they pushed through to sip on and leave again, and they were too into the conversations amongst themselves to help us at every interaction. The whole thing was uncomfortable and made me leave. It felt like it was being run by a bunch of middle school kids with no adults. I missed the performance but I saw enough with the performers behavior to feel I wasn't missing anything by leaving early. We won't be trying the show or the restaurant again.
