Earlier this week, I told you how to Avoid a Busted Spring Break, but only included daytime activities. Although a midnight hike would be beautiful, I wouldn't recommend it since this is wake up time for all those hibernating animals. Instead, check out one or more of my favorite nightlife spots below.
Clubs & Bars:
The Mansion - This one comes first because it is my absolute favorite club in town. There is a bar in nearly every corner of this club, so there are no long lines for drinks. They have a large dance floor on the main floor with a DJ that plays today's popular music, and upstairs, they have a Disco Room featuring music from the 70s, 80s and 90s (complete with light up dance floor) and a Karaoke Bar with a huge selection of music. Thursdays are Ladies Nights with Free Cover and Free Drinks from 10-12. If you have the cash to spend, or can pool some money together with your friends, I recommend bottle service which is 1/2 price on Thursdays. Beware they have standards, so dress to impress. 21 and Up only.
Meadow Muffins - This bar in Old Colorado City has great music, karaoke, drinks and food. It is a more relaxed atmosphere and great for those nights that you want to hang with your friends and avoid the creepers at the club. They also have some regular unique events.
Red Martini - This bar has a much more formal atmosphere, but has the best drink in town, the Berries N Cream Martini. It's $12, but worth it. I am not ashamed to admit that I often find myself cleaning the glass with my finger. Stop by for the drink, relax a bit then move on. Dress to impress. 21 and Up.
Ritz Bar & Grill - You might have stopped by here for lunch or dinner during the day, but did you know that it turns into an extremely packed club at night? Be prepared because with all those bodies, it gets hot, hot, hot. 21 and Up.
Honorable Mentions:
Late Night Munchies:
Pita Pit - I don't know why, but it never tastes as good during the day as it does at 2:30 in the morning.
King Chefs Diner - Named Tastiest Breakfast in Colorado by Food Network magazine. Great prices and everything comes large, so bring your friends and split. (Extra clean plates are $3). If you are really adventurous, try the full size "Thing" or the 5lb. "New Mexico Stomper."
Don't Drink and Drive: Plan accordingly.
Designated Driver of Colorado Springs - Call ahead, visit one of their sponsors and they will drive you and your car home. Free service, but tips highly encouraged as this is a volunteer service.
Yellow Cab of Colorado Springs - Even though the number is super simple to remember, program it in your phone and plan ahead to save money for the ride. (719)777-7777
Have fun & drink responsibly!
