Re: “Tam O'Shanter Pub”
This bar has been around for longer than most have even lived here... Although it has had it's "hay day" many years ago... it really is still a fun little place. It is a small and cozy. The CO Natives come and go (not on a regular basis but on and off... to sort of just "check in") old clientele will confess they take for granted it will just always be around... The food is fine... It is by no means fine dining but good grub... it is pub food for goodness sake. The new owner is actually really nice... Students from Colorado Tech University and the Tech corridor used to pack the place but with the quieting down of the Tech Corridor (G o G) things are quieter... Used to get some semi-pro baseball teams who didn't want to stay near Sky Sox... they were loyal to the place actually. If you haven't been in here... you really should try it... It is one of the many lovely old bars in town... kind of like Benny's, The Dublin House, The Old Dutch Mill, Navajo Hogans, and of course The Hill Top Lounge. Each which were once upon a time "THE PLACE TO BE" and folks drove from all around town to squeeze in to these places... The old timers still pop in... curious newbies pop in and of course there are the colorful customers who give you something to look at and laugh at. Go in and say hello.... these old drinking establishments are worth visiting to ensure they don't disappear. If you don't like "old hole in the wall bars"... maybe you should stick to the national chain establishments.... Support your local small businesses and keep an open mind... they aren't FANCY in any way....

Re: “Tam O'Shanter Pub”
Greatest bar/ Pub In Colorado springs! I don't know why this guy is giving such bad review for? Maybe he was to drunk to remember what happened. When I was there with some friends we were treated great and served with the best service by the owner lady Denise. I will be going back there again real soon!

Re: “JP Wellness”
Went there and the cozy feeling set in right away. Todd was very friendly, patient. He explained everything in the shop and he took the time to ask what did I like and why, then made recommendations. Like the first time discount thing and then the raffle is a good idea. I really got hooked up that day and made my home store J P Wellness.

Re: “Bijou Wellness Center”
I really like the medicine they offer. Plenty of crystals on the buds instead of the owners taking them and making hash! Good quality dense nugs.

Re: “The Healing Canna”
Not only do these guys have some of the nicest product I've ever seen, they have bent over backwards to accommodate my disability. Give them a try.

Re: “Trinity Brewing Company”
Trinity is a great place. They have high quality food and the cooks do it right. My favorite is the Griz! and if they've added the Buffalo Mac to the menu then you got to try it. The owner, whose root is in brewing, knows his craft and they make many great beers but he knows other guys brew great beer too. So he also offers the best beers from around the world for his customers to enjoy. I'm living in Germany for the next few years but look forward to returning home and sitting again at that funky counter.

Re: “The Canna Center”
Love this center! The staff is super helpful and always so cheerful! I wont shop anywhere else. Blue cheese, headband, and super lemon haze are some of my favorites! The growers of this center are masters of their trade and the manager here is such a sweet girl, a great conversationalist who is always happy to help explain legalities and paperwork. Also TJ and Smiley are awesome! Smiley always knows the est way to discribe the effect of each strain and TJ can tell you about all the edibles in detail.

Re: “Sparrow Hawk Cookware”
They are the most well stocked kitchen shop in Colorado...with all those wonderful little things you never knew you needed and now can't live without.
Not to mention the owners are always there, glad to see people come in, and full of good advice cheerfully offered.

Some of the freshest air indoors! So much love and good energy under one roof that it can be felt no matter when you spend some time here. Add this space to one of your "homes away from home!"

Re: “A Cut Above - Fillmore”
The only place that should be open... Colorado is "A CUT ABOVE" and "A CUT ABOVE" is Colorado. Just leave the diesel alone It's mine, my own, my precious! The women working here are top shelf medical marijuana experts. They have the best of the best, in fact I say this is the only spot for real medicine. Thank you Ashley it wouldn't be the same without you.

Re: “Front Range Barbeque”
Very good pulled pork sandwich with Mom's Corn and Pea Salad (think 3 bean with lots of upgrades). They have a great selection of beers on tap as well bottled brewery beers. Service is always great and it's a good family atmosphere. Yup, there's lots of kids. They are people too & generally better behaved than any most impaired adults.
We saw "Swamp Cabbage perform all original music. They advertise themselves as Blues band but that was less than half of what they performed. Not the best band I have ever seen at Front Range, but decent musicians in the Southern Rock tradition. Their equipment was not sufficient to give them a full sound and it's a small area that you have to fill with sound. They were on their 10th show in 11 days and had to drive from Ogden Utah but hey...that's the job. Bring it or take a day off. They seemed to complete their sound check during the first set despite having set up an hour before they started. Unprofessional at the least.
For whatever reason, Front Range gets lots of touring bands, blue grass, folk & singer-songwriters. Many seem to play at the Telluride Blues and other festivals the week before or after. So you see acts for usually no cover that people just paid $60 to see.
