Reviews for La Burla Bee in Colorado Springs, CO
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 withus and it escalated quickly to cursing and demanding we move. This of course caused a scene when we said we would not be givingup 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 thisother patron was ? here every week?. I excused myself and went to the restroom where I overheard the patron talking to the hostsand saying we were threatening and cursing. Not accurate. We were met with being cursed out and yelled at by said patron andgave them what they were giving us. To which we responded with ?we just want the seat we paid for.? When I respectfully told thehosts privately- after the rush and without the other patron present so as not to escalate further- that I overheard the liesthis patron was telling from the bathroom- I was called a liar and told this patron was actually an employee and was ?here allthe time? To which I said I was a first time PAYING customer being treated horribly?there was zero acknowledgement or concernfor this and it made for an uncomfortable evening we wasted money on. I asked for a different seat and was told there were noneavailable. It was an awful experience and embarrassed us. Apparently new guests who actually pay mean nothing. We frequent alllocal 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 offereda VIP table and show that I politely declined. I appreciated him reaching out. Read more
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 comeback in a couple of weeks. We attended the Pop Versus Goth show and it was freaking empowering! I love this place! Beautifulpeople of all shapes and sizes, confident, sexy, happy, and free! SO MUCH FUN!!! We stayed and danced at the nightclubdownstairs, The Bee Hive, and again, it felt like everyone was friends-- no judgement, only love, happiness, and freedom to bewhoever 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 thisabsolutely phenomenal environment!! Read more

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! Read more
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 onthe 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. Read more
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 litebut 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. Read more
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 thedecor 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! Read more
