InSider 2010
How does Rum Bay do it, you ask? Volume. It's got eight nightclubs under one roof and has managed to rack up a half-dozen Best Of awards through the years. Rum Bay is arguably the biggest reason for those Tejon Street traffic slowdowns on weekend nights.

Happy hour: Daily, 4-8 p.m.

Come here if you are: "In the mood to groove."

Best Of 2010: New Bar (since July 1, 2009)
Where can you find walls of Jack Daniels bottles protected by chicken wire, a Confederate flag proudly bearing the word "Redneck," and a patio lined with whiskey barrel tables? Why, the same place you can find neon palm trees and a purely decorative John Deere tractor: Colorado Springs' favorite new bar, Copperhead Road. In the remodeled old Black Angus Steakhouse restaurant building off North Academy Boulevard, you get not only evenings of live country music, but a staff of beautiful and busty beer-slinging servers who put on Coyote Ugly-style bartop performances. Whether or not you live the country life by day, all you've got to do is head to Copperhead Road for a taste of the country nightlife. — Jill Thomas
