Reviews for Blondie's in Colorado Springs, CO
This review has been a long time coming. My girls and I had a small staycay for a friend's birthday in Colorado Springs. We live... in Denver. Anyway we wanted a night out and unsure where to go. We are used to downtown Denver vibe. When I tell you Blondieswas definitely the BEST choice I MEAN IT! The entire staff treated us so well. We spent most of our time on the rooftop deckenjoying drinks and dancing. The bartenders, security and even the DJ were all so nice and treated us well. The DJ took requestswith no issue. When there were creeps not leaving us alone the bartender and security handled it and Jacob Johnson helped puteverything together for our night out. The only downside was the rooftop closes earlier than the other levels and we were readyto stop the party! ???? Read more
The ?bouncers? here are on a serious power trip I was let into the club initially but 10 minutes later a 5?5 female ?bouncer?... tried to kick me out because I was wearing a raiders jersey as I was about to order a drink. My first thought was she was jokingwith me until she grabbed me and tried to escort me out. I told her I was going to wait for my friends and when she couldn?tbudge me she decided to radio another ?bouncer? who got very violent with me and my brother who was also shocked we were beingkicked out over my jersey. They then proceeded to threaten to pepper spray us once we were already out of the club. The female?bouncer? who was on a major power trip taunted us once we were already out of the club, and proceeded to radio to all of theclubs on that street that we had started a fight with them!! When we told the club across the street (cowboys) what we werereally kicked out for they couldn?t believe how pathetic the ?bouncers? across the street acted and welcomed us into their club.I recommend if anyone is thinking of going into this club do yourself a favor and don?t they think it?s okay to assault someoneover what they?re wearing. Go the cowboys next door! That place is awesome!! Read more
i?ve been a bartender for 12 years and i?ve never experienced the level of disrespect as we did tonight at any bar across the... country. bartender didn?t like that the boys had their shirt unbuttoned a button? even tho the bouncers let us in like that. anunidentified man (bartender apparently?) holding a cigarette in one hand and a drink in the other came up and aggressivelydemanded they button up their shirts completely. since we thought it was some random patron, we hesitated and asked why. howdare we. immediately assaulted and thrown against a brick wall. i?ve never seen such an abuse of ?power?, simply ask us nicelyto leave due to violation of dress code? don?t immediately resort to inflicting bodily harm on respectful guests. will be filinga police report and following up to get the security footage to pass along to our lawyers. don?t waste your money here? a bunchof incompetent and inconsistent staff Read more

Not too bad place.... not my sort of place
So?I had to find some place for a wedding party of 15. I went looking down Tejon Street in downtown Colorado Springs because... that?s where the highest concentration of bars and clubs are at in CS. I researched and found that Blondies seemed to be theplace to start. After an ID check I entered and I could tell it was a real upbeat place. I ended up talking to the manager,Jacob, and he was a real professional. He ended up renting us the Red Martini bar that was attached to club Blondies for aprivate party. We had a wonderful private venue where we could retreat to after dancing it up on the three floors of Blondies.The rooftop had a DJ, bartender and FIRE!!! Fire pits and rim of fire around the edge. The vibe is really cool. Back to theprivate party, the bartender Aaron was super professional and knowledgeable. He served us unique drinks all night long alongwith the staple drinks we all know and love. Try his Godfather! It?s great! Needless to say if you want to cut it up to somereal upbeat electronic music the bottom floor is for you, if you want some more radio play type music, hit up the top floor! Ifyou want to have a private party where you really feel like a VIP, talk to Jacob about the Red Martini. All in all, greatexperience made possible by Jacob. Read more
The bar tender there was not nice at all. I wanted to spend the rest of my cash ($5) so I asked what the cheapest shot was. Guy... assumed I had not enough money to tip so he refused to serve me (I had a card too) and when I pointed out I had a card he wantedto show off his power and called security on me. Total jerk, deserves to be fired. Security kicked me out even though I calmlydescribed what happened. Don?t waste your money here, the staff at mansion was much nicer. Fire this guy and the place willdeserve at least 4 stars because everything else was fine but I didn?t even get to experience it because of their terriblysensitive and greedy bartender. The hiring process needs to be improved. I understand that sometimes customers are too much butthis guy was another level of sensitive and power hungry. I have worked in customer service for a long time and I can?t imaginekicking someone out for something as minor as what I did. Read more
The ground floor "dj" kept starting music and then just wandering away to chill with some dudes by the pool tables. He didn't... actually dj. I hope they aren't paying him. They could just make a playlist of EDM and play that for free. The bathrooms stinkeven though there's no visible reason. The music isn't really loud enough on any of the floors. The cranberry vodka was $8 andtasted more like everclear than vodka. Read more
