La Burla Bee

If you are looking for an out of the box experience, this is the place for you. They have an amazing happy hour 1/2 of cocktails and drinks from 5-7pm. They do fun cocktail themes, and the best part is the burlesque show! I bought a ticket on a whim and was given killer service from the owner! Great service, fun crowd, the MC was hilarious! I didn’t eat food so can’t comment there. If you are kid free and looking for something fun to do this is a super fun, not to miss spot! 10/10

This is one of the few places I feel like I can let my guard down completely. The security is top notch and makes me feel safe. The performances are professional quality and always keep me guessing. I am always so impressed by the creativity. Bunny and Brad are amazing hosts and welcome everyone like family. Bartenders are working so hard to make great drinks and add to the atmosphere. I love it here and it’s worth every penny.

This spot is THE BEE’s KNEES 🔥 stopped in for karaoke night and immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. The staff is beyond friendly, cool and genuine. I was thrilled by the misfit acceptance vibes! Had the pleasure of meeting so many great people. Can’t wait to come back to try the food that smelled so delicious my mouth was watering but I foolishly didn’t order in time.

If you like EDM, nice people, and enjoy dancing then you are going to love this place. There are two dance floors and two bars so you have options. The bathrooms are gender neutral so dont trip when you enter and theres a dude washing his hands. 😁 This is my favorite place to party. I was shy going in but the other patrons coaxed me onto the floor and I ended up staying and dancing till closing time.

La Burla Bee creates a fun, welcoming, and friendly space for all to enjoy. With amazing shows, a hopping night club, and wonderful employees. The food and drinks are delicious! The owner and management team work hard to ensure that all ideas are heard and that they make positive changes all the time! Security team is amazing and truly takes what they do seriously. Shows are breath taking and engaging.

My friends and I always go here when we want a fun night out where we feel safe and can dance the night away. We love how non judgemental it is, and how everyone is just dancing and having a great time. We always enjoy the music, and the staff has always been so friendly. My only complaint is that not all of the bartenders make drinks the same way. We went last night and my friend and I ordered a Sex on the Beach at the same time. A female made hers, a guy made mine and they couldnt have been more different. Hes was in a short glass, mine was in a tall, mine had a cute orange garnish with a feather pick, she didnt have a garnish, and they both tasted different. It was odd. Then another one of my friends ordered a Mojito, and it tasted like seltzer water with lime. There was no fresh mint in it, and you couldnt taste the rim or any alcohol at all. Other than the bartenders needing a little work lol, this place is FANTASTIC, and my friends and I will keep coming back here!! Maybe well even see a show soon!!

My first time at La Burla Bee was almost exactly a year ago. Since going to this place, my whole world changed. I’ve met some of the most genuine, amazing humans and made some of the best friends I’ve ever had. Bunny Bee has done an incredible job of creating a safe, welcoming place for anyone of any background. This place will make you feel so loved. Not to mention, the entertainment is phenomenal and the food is some of the best in the Springs! La Burla Bee will always be my second home! It’s a great spot for any kind of occasion! I highly recommend checking this place out as soon as you can. They will make you feel special!

We came for the Love Sucks show.Friendly positive atmosphere. This was our first time here or at any burlesque show. The woman hosting the show was great. I felt bad we left early because we live out of town. Come prepared with money to tip the performers. The venue is quite small. You may have to move your chair over if you are seated next to a pillar. Street(metered) parking

Such an incredible experience! Age, gender, race, sexual preference, body type… ALL are accepted here. It truly is a safe space! The security team is awesome. The bartenders are top notch. The entertainment never disappoints! And the food… Bunny’s Italian family recipes are delicious!

I have been to this wonderful venue multiple times! The staff is so fun and welcoming! Their cabaret shows bring so much joy! They are a Colorado Springs gem! If you haven’t gone out to support this amazing community that supports so many communities in the Springs, check them out! You won’t be disappointed by the food, drinks, or events!

Went in to catch a show. We ordered drinks and were hesitant on ordering food because of the reviews. Needless to say, the cheese bread was amazing!!! I thought about it for days and Im still not over it.

Overpriced food/drink, uncomfortable seating, rushed sets and more T inclusivity than I care to be around. My wife and I simply did not enjoy it, and she loves burlesque more than I do.One good thing I have to mention is they do metal detect at the door. Luckily I left it in the truck. At least I could (to some degree) let my guard down for a bit.

No idea what John Carlisle is rambling on about but that is not the 🐝. The bee is one of the most welcoming, warm, friendly, safe and encouraging places in the springs and if someone get treated bad there its because they were being an absolute jerk and/or bigot and being shown the door! All the people Ive met there are awesome, amazing, adoring, caring, compassionate, delightful, dazzling, glamorous and exceptional. Let alone the food and drinks! Oh my word! Its amazing! Just, go there and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed!

I always have the best time at the bee! Finding a safe space in our community can be a challenge however I’ve found that through the lovely performers and staff here. The food is super tasty and the drinks are delicious. Overall if you’re looking for a place to freely express yourself with some amazing vibes this is the place to bee!!

AMAZING place! One of the most welcoming and diverse places you’ll find in Colorado Springs! Bunny runs a tight ship. It’s a safe and welcoming space for all.You might find some very negative reviews, they have been written by people who have never been inside. Why would anyone do that? Easy, they want to spread their hatred and Lise. They are feeding on fear and trying to serve it up to the entire Springs community. Don’t be fooled by these fools.Check it out for yourselves. You won’t regret it 🏳️‍⚧️♥️🏳️‍🌈

I used to go to La Burla Bee. But, before they went under new management and a new name it used to go by The Underground Bar.And, i used to have fun there (still would, if i still lived in the springs).The drinks i believe were amazing and dancing is so so much fun.I have met Bunny and Brad and Romeo and we have become very great friends.

La Burla Bee is one of the most inclusive places Ive ever been to. Focused on community and education, Bunny Bee and her team have made this place a safe place and home for many people in the Springs.The food is amazing, the talent is outstanding, and honestly if you havent visited this local gem you NEED to. Youll leave feeling better about the world.

The staff are super friendly awesome environment and atmosphere. I usually hate clubs but this place I definitely be back ask about the bubble gum vodka martini you will thank me. The food is absolutely amazing as well.

Love love love the bee! Drinks are strong, shows are great! Screw the nightclubs downtown, the bee is where the party is at! I have yet to order food but la burla bee did host a wonderful (and free) thanksgiving dinner for the community that was awesome

Always a great time. Been for date night & a friends special BD with 20 of us. They were so accommodating & attentive. I always recommend it when people are looking for something other than hitting the same old bar or they are coming to visit & want to do something unique. There is a club there you have to boogie down at after a show.

This place has always been the most inclusive and safest space for everyone! You feel the love and positivity right when you walk in the door! The owner Bunny Bee is INCREDIBLE and puts together an AMAZING place. Definitely somewhere you need to be for a safe space in the Springs!

So impressed with everything! The service and food are wonderful, the events are always a blast, and the sense of community is a breath of fresh hair. Bunny and has poured her heart into creating a safe space for authenticity, nonconformity, and fun and YOU CAN TELL. I will recommend this spot time and time again.

Came today for the first time and had so much fun! Great atmosphere and awesome people. My son loved his breakfast. I didnt eat, but had an awesome drink while watching performers.

Such a unique experience! I love every bit of it! It’s been good for date nights and just nights I wanna go catch a fabulous show and/go dancing! Such a comfortable and diverse place that really makes me feel safe. Food is amazing and of course I looooove Karaoke nights!!!!!!

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 on the 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.

I love this place. Been going here for a year! The food is amazing. I highly recommend the cheesy bread and chicken Alfredo. I also recommend coming to a burlesque show and then to the dance party with Sammy sore eyes, because its the time of your life! Best place to spend your birthday or bachelorette/bachelor party!!

The food, atmosphere, and staff are wonderful! Shoutout to Lilith! We were the only group inside and they were so kind, friendly, and personable!!

Love this place 🖤owned by Bunny Bee who has an incredible heart, promoting love and acceptance for all people of all backgrounds. People oppose what they don’t know. And clearly they don’t. Underage Drag shows are 100% appropriate for all ages. Its performers are completely dressed in elaborate, beautiful costumes giving performers the opportunity to express themselves through a theatrical art form which involves lip synching to choreographed dances. That’s it folks. Without a positive outlet that this venue uniquely provides, many individuals may turn to very self destructive measures such as negative abuse of self like drug use or bodily self harm. La Burla Bee should be celebrated as a safe space for expression not condemned due to lack of knowledge. This is also a great place for date nights and outings with friends just for the entertainment not to mention, the amazing drinks, food and welcoming staff.

As a Clinical Mental Health Professional for the last 22 years, with experience working with children and adolescents in a variety of settings, I can attest that La Burla Bee promotes a body positive, inclusive entertainment venue that is in allignment with age appropriate childhood development. Their all ages drag shows offers shows that are fully clothed, often more so than most mainstream child dance production many parents enroll their children in. This venue offers a safe space (once you get past all those scary protesters) where children are able to see a wide spectrum of performers. Studies show that when children are able to witness actors, singers, and performers of various arts by people that look like them or emulate them in some way, they are far more apt to chose positive outlets to express themselves as well.

The shows are entertaining, staff if friendly. People always are enjoying themselves. Definitely recommend for a nite out. And the old ages drag brunch is so good for these young kids to be able to express themselves in a safe environment.

This is the best place I’ve ever tried to be weird and normal at the same time and all the people get me. Thanks for being you wonderful La Burla Bee. Good queen bee energy here. !!!!

Karaoke on Thursdays is a lot of fun!! Very loud so if you’re overstimulated easily by sound this is not the place to go.

GOOD TIME HAD BY 2PROPHETS AND GUESTS.VERY COOL ATMOSPHERE AND VIBEAS ARTISTS WE WERE TREATED VERY WELL. SECURITY WAS PLEASANT, AND WERE ACCOMMODATING TO NEEDS FOR SHOW.WE WOULD LOVE TO BE ASKED BACK ANY TIME😊-2PROPHETS Mgmt

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 lite but 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.

This place is truly a hidden gem! The food was spectacular! The show was amazing! And the vibe was fun and inviting. Its really a place where you can get out and have fun. I will definitely be back! Highly recommend. Bring a few friends!! Stay for the DJ and club atmosphere that start when the show ends.

This establishment is so much more than a bar a safe place a dance club. And this is why I think this place should recognized as a business that need an award created just for them that how great this place is. Before you read further if your homophobic then you need read no further.if your like me that has wondered if a safe place was real or myth. Its real and you share my view then you need to treat yourself, lets get to it.,- the security team are respectful nice and are not demented just waiting for something to go down. They are not overly aggressive people and dont posture. Super nice had some cool conversations.- the bartenders yes I think things are sexy but the bartenders were really nice not once they were comfortable and confident but approachable. It was nice to meet and have convos with them with them told them they were beautiful. Didnt push drinks and didnt do fake service just for a tip. Real. Good service. They also seemed like they really enjoy what they do and who they work with.- the people that I met here were really just there to enjoy themselves and it felt like I wasnt the only one who felt comfortable to have fun be sexy and send good vibes. Be yourself let lose and no judgement. You cannot bottle that and sell it.but I saw women that were hating or not feeling as sexy as they deserve to feel and the se for the men.- There was a good healthy variety of age, from 20s to 50s most places only attract a certain demographic its nice so have that mixture brings a better vibe.- the DJ was very skilled I asked for a song and it happened, and she really played good music.Thanks for reading-

I took my sister and husband here a couple weeks ago and was the BEST time Ive had in a while. The entertainment was phenomenal, the crowd was happy, the drinks were delicious! I’ve haven’t laughed, screamed and clapped so hard in a while. I hope to take some classes there and I can’t wait to go back. Thank You all for making a fun, sensual, and inclusive community in the Springs 🧡

I was visiting colorado springs and wanted to experience a show and dinner and was so disappointed. The burlesque show was absolutely amateur and absolutely disappointing. My partner and myself found out afterwards the owner of the club performed as well. She probably was the worst performer up there I was embarrassed just watching her she made strange faces and looked so awkward. I had hoped for more after seeing such great reviews. Even the food was dismal. Save your money and because this was a letdown.

I tried to attend a show last year for my birthday because I love Burlesque. I was sorely disappointed.It was over Thanksgiving and it gave big vibes that whoever was in charge wasnt on site. Nothing but incredibly unprofessional attitudes from every staff member from door to door. (Except Scott, I think his name was, but he never followed up about my raincheck.)We arrived super early hoping to eat but instead were ushered into a back bar where the performers were dressing & having cocktails and loudly inappropriate conversations for the situation. We were given awful service as the bar tender enjoyed all of her conversations first before pouring 2 awful cocktails. The entire time we were treated like intruders, not paying guests.When we got our seats they didnt resemble the diagram we chose from and our seats we pushed against a brick beam splitting us up and pushing us toward the two seats we didnt puchase at an incredibly intimate-sized table.We then tried to order an appetizer and the dish it was served on was awkwardly large for the tiny cocktail table, which we were sharing with strangers, so much so, that it became literally weird to eat at the dinner show.I tried asking the wait staff if we could move either seats at our table to to a table in the back of the room and we were given such extreme attitude disproportionate to my question that it triggered a panic attack in me and I left without seeing the show. (So much for safe spaces that it boastsed.)I tried to ask if we could get a raincheck and the staff never followed up which was on par for the rest of our experience. We could tell whomever ran these events wasnt there this time because it was so unprofessional and all the staff seemed unable to run their own show.Performers were pushing patrons out of line, storing drinks behind the ticket desk that they pushed through to sip on and leave again, and they were too into the conversations amongst themselves to help us at every interaction. The whole thing was uncomfortable and made me leave. It felt like it was being run by a bunch of middle school kids with no adults. I missed the performance but I saw enough with the performers behavior to feel I wasnt missing anything by leaving early.We wont be trying the show or the restaurant again.

This place is amazing. It has a super rich history as a venue and its current transformation is beautiful. The staff and crowd was so fun. Dont miss the opportunity to check this place out!

Me and my wives come here often.The owner Bunny Bee is so loving and accepting to everyone.I didnt know what to expect but BOY OH BOY WAS I SURPRISED at the takent and work that these performers put into these showsI love that men and women are BOTH included in the events.The food is REALLLLLLY good which I did not expect at a club. I recommend ANY of the pasta!After the burlesque show the place had DJs!!! Real DJs!!!! 10/10 would recommend 👌 👏

I absolutely love the bee! It’s such a welcoming and inclusive place of ALL humans. The shows are fun and the staff is cool. Lots of my friends feel safe here and that is priceless . Thank you to Bunny and crew for making the bee one of the best places in the Springs. Also, the food is yummy!

This is my favorite place in the springs for some good entertainment. This place has an amazing staff with a beautiful ambience! The burlesque shows are exquisite and colorful, they also serve some of the best Italian food. Not only is this place fun and entertaining, but its also safe. This is truly a special place that allows everyone to be themselves. I highly recommend for your next celebration, date night, or even a little escape from reality.

AWESOME staff, super accommodating and service animal savvy. Didnt have trouble with a legitimate service dog but instantly denied someones reactive puppy, making it safer for the handler to come in and enjoy the show.Love the staff. Extremely considerate of their disabled guests and that is something WELL appreciated since most events arent accessible.

THE BEST/ HOTTEST/ MOST INCLUSIVE VENUE IN COLORADO SPRINGS RIGHT NOW.I couldnt have been to happier, more accepting place.The ultimate place of acceptance right now- A place of unity amid our community, that welcomes ALL with open arms. A very body/ you, positive environment. Hosting an exclusive sexy, risky burlesque show,I highly recommend the Burlesque show, its creative, fun, and real. The host were entertaining, and engaging with the audience. If being on stage is your thing, youll have a chance to volunteer, I did for the I have never game... I may have won as well.This place is a must.Stay for the night club after and dance your body away freely. The DJ was great.The most FUN Ive had while out in a awhile.An all in one FUN, dinner, drinks, burlesque show, night club, bar - This place has your entire night covered.Security was on point as well throughout the evening not only from security itself but others being vigilant . Safe and protected was a definite feeling, while being able to enjoy a night out.

Kicked off a local artist 23 mins into his set. No reason given. Killed the entire mood and then got a new artist on set that was the same exact style and the same exact crowd engagement . Very unprofessional and demeaning to local artist.

Weve 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 the decor 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!

Incredible spot! My wife and I danced all night long last time we were in town. Drinks are great. People are much more friendly, respectful and fun than what you would see at other clubs. And damn there food is good! Not to mention it is an awesome venue!

My husband and I visited La Burla Bee for the first time shortly after they opened a year ago. The beautiful decor takes you back to the 1920’s!Bunny Bee runs a great business with a relaxing atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff.We enjoyed ourselves so much that we brought a group of 10 friends a couple of weeks later to see a show and attend the dance party. Everyone had a blast. My husband and I are in the Springs again for the winter and are excited to enjoy another great evening of fun at La Burla Bee.

Amazing food, amazing shows, amazing nightclub.The staff are super friendly and accepting of everyone.This is the place where you can be your most authentic self and be loved for it.Updating to recommend the dance party in the nightclub every Friday and Saturday. One of the best places to just dance and enjoy the night. 🕺

This was my first ever burlesque show and I loved it! The performers were great and the staff was awesome. I had a blast. My only suggestion is to remind the performers the people on the side cant see past the pillar, so I could not always see their awesomeness.

This is my favorite place to dress up and go dance. The atmosphere is totally welcoming and laid back. DJ Sammy keeps the floor hopping all night long. The bartenders and security are extremely professional and do their jobs very well. Ms Bee has created a unique and very fun establishment!

Romeo and Bunny make this place a must try! From karaoke, to burlesque shows, to the new addition to drag shows, plus amazing homemade Italian dishes and the house special drinks are always on point. During the week you can hang out and it feels like a small home town bar and on the weekends you have an incredible mix of small time bar and fun night club. Security is always there doing a wonderful job of keeping everyone safe. Highly recommend.

Very rarely do you happen upon a place that provides a sense of safety and comfort for all patrons, a fun upbeat environment that allows you to let loose, and have reasonably priced food and drinks that are delicious. La Burla Bee is a triple threat because they do it all. If you’ve ever met the owners, Bunny and Brad, you can see how much they deeply care about the Colorado Springs community and aim to provide a space to simply Bee. I think one of the most remarkable things La Burla Bee has done is open their doors to performers who were out of work due to the Club Q shooting.Bonus - If you’re looking for burlesque that redefines what art means, definitely check this place out. Some shows are provocative in thought and nature, so do your research before you go to ensure you don’t take offense in something you should’ve known was coming.

The show was fun. Humorous, spicy, and great for those for whom it was the first or the fifth. The drinks were tasty and I love the building.What I did not love was that the tables were so incredibly cramped, it made dining difficult and less enjoyable. Additionally… dining… was less stellar. Show would easily be a 10, but the food maybe a 5. Next time I will eat first and then attend for a drink and show. I would recommend they try some catered desserts and make just the drinks for a show, I think trying to do dinner and the show is resulting in one success and one miss.

I always have a fun time when I come here. The owners are amazing, the bar staff is super friendly and the dance floor is like my second home. I love the environment here, a place where anyone not just an LGBTQIA can come and enjoy the night. Thanks Brand and Bunny for giving me a place where I can continue to feel safe and dance until my heart is continent.Reuben

Absolutely love this place! The atmosphere is welcoming, the place is elegant and the staff are so nice & accommodating!The burlesque shows are some of the best Ive seen & I love the dance floor that opens up during the weekend, its a great place to dance & sing karaoke!The restaurant has both meat & vegetarian options which is hard to come by in Italian food around here, its also delicious food & I recommend the restaurant portion for a classy dinner as well

DJ did not follow through with his word; I was disappointed. Also, there was miscommunication with the DJ and the bartenders regarding last call.

Bunny and the staff at La Burla Bee are some of the sweetest, welcoming, and open people. Ive never been to an establishment where the owner is so kind and truly cares about their patrons. Theyve created such a beautiful safe space for the LGBTQ+ community that feels like a family. The fact that they are a full time cabaret is just the icing on the cake.

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 come back in a couple of weeks. We attended the Pop Versus Goth show and it was freaking empowering! I love this place! Beautiful people of all shapes and sizes, confident, sexy, happy, and free! SO MUCH FUN!!! We stayed and danced at the nightclub downstairs, The Bee Hive, and again, it felt like everyone was friends-- no judgement, only love, happiness, and freedom to be whoever you want to be. Last night we attended the Sci-fi cabaret and it was another wonderful time! Every show is different, but its 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 this absolutely phenomenal environment!!

Lgbtq safe space. Like the owner always says, they will not let hate win. Despite the vandalism they have received since they have been open, they still provide a safe space for the queer community ❤️

I cant wait to come see this awesome place! Cant wait to perform there eventually also! As a bar owner and performer myself.... The peeps that run this are TOP NOTCH! They have always shown me nothing but kindness , welcomed me when I was just beginning in the burlesque community, also let me take a gander at the space as they were getting it up and running! It definitely is a gem and something to be so proud of! Whatever your vibe is, this place can be for you! Its about inclusion, great entertainment and I hear awesome food and drink that wont break the bank! YES PLEASE!!

The BEST KEPT SECRET IN COLORADO!Ive been here 2x. Food is gr8, show is gr8 and dancing is so much fun. This joint is hoppin, happenin & full of energy.. Everyone is welcome. Its my party place any time Im in the Springs!

I am a big fan of Bunny and all her burlesque Friends! know she works hard to make it accepting open and transparent. I totally encourage anyone to go and try it out!

This venue has been completely transformed from the dark goth club it used to be, into a fresh, fun, vibrant and exciting cabaret lounge. I attended a burlesque show on Saturday night and I was completely blown away with my experience. Friendly staff, beautiful club and incredible performers. Wow just wow. The owners of this place have spent an absolute fortune on it by the looks of things. The whole place just glows. Even the bathrooms! I used to be a frequent visitor to the old underground in the 90s and 00s. The grungy goth look was great then, but La Burla Bee has polished that old dump and made it shine. Beautiful place. If you get a chance to go to a show here...DO IT! I will definitely be back.

Super welcoming and inviting atmosphere and staff. Everyone was super friendly. The show, the cocktails, the food, EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! I took my significant other there for his birthday and it was a blast!

La Burla Bee is one of the few places in Colorado Springs where I have seen everyone be welcomed exactly as they are. Bunny Bee, the owner, is one of the nicest, most fiercely loyal people I know. The atmosphere is inviting and warm. Definitely check it out!

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 with us and it escalated quickly to cursing and demanding we move. This of course caused a scene when we said we would not be giving up 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 this other patron was “ here every week”.I excused myself and went to the restroom where I overheard the patron talking to the hosts and saying we were threatening and cursing. Not accurate. We were met with being cursed out and yelled at by said patron and gave them what they were giving us.To which we responded with “we just want the seat we paid for.”When I respectfully told the hosts privately- after the rush and without the other patron present so as not to escalate further- that I overheard the lies this patron was telling from the bathroom- I was called a liar and told this patron was actually an employee and was “here all the time” To which I said I was a first time PAYING customer being treated horribly…there was zero acknowledgement or concern for this and it made for an uncomfortable evening we wasted money on.I asked for a different seat and was told there were none available. It was an awful experience and embarrassed us. Apparently new guests who actually pay mean nothing. We frequent all local 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 offered a VIP table and show that I politely declined. I appreciated him reaching out.

I wanted to dance. They had a dance party starting at 10pm. I showed up at 9:30 to make sure it was a place I felt comfortable dancing at. I sat at the bar and was ignored for almost 20 minutes until I asked the bartender a few questions about the event and then left. I walked a block away to another bar, where I was greeted immediately. The contrast between the two make me have no interest in trying this venue again.Bummer.Edit: to the owner, you couldnt counter my argument so you attacked my character. Yeah, I wont ever try this place again. And I went to the Chiba bar which I did leave a good review for. Your response is very telling. No accountability.

Welcoming, friendly staff and environment, Bunny Bees family recipes are the best Italian dishes in the city. The variety of events through out the week offer something for everyone, shows are always excellent and dancing after in the Bee Hive is the best club experience you can get here.

Exquisite and inclusive! With a variety of shows there is something for everyone! If you haven’t found this downtown gem it is a delight for an after work cocktail, a beautiful dinner date out, a fiery stage show, or a night out dancing. You won’t “Bee” disappointed! Cheers!

Welcoming and affirming place for lgbtqia folks and also the burlesque community, the all ages drag brunch event is phenomenal too!

Great drinks, great food, great prices! La Burla Bee is my go to spot when I go out! You can really BEE You there! Its a fun and safe space for us all, whether youre an outlaw, inlaw, crook, or straight we can all make it shake at La Burla Bee! Go check it out and party down loves!

Wonderful atmosphere, amazing performers, and delicious drinks! This place is so welcoming to all people as long as you are not close minded. Cant go wrong between the cabaret, bar, open mic, or dance floor. Will definitely return soon.

We always have such a beautiful time at La Bura Bee! Such beautiful history in this building, its an absolute gem to Colorado Springs ❤️

Most body positive place I have ever been. Delicious food and kind people. We need more places like the Bee.

AMAZING! The show and people were so great. The owner is a sweetheart. The drinks were delicious and their brunch was just as good. I enjoyed myself so much watching the Rouge Parody. Definitely recommend! I’ll be back with more folks next time!

One of the best, most inclusive, safe, excellent, awesome places I’ve ever been in my life. The staff is excellent and attentive. The shows are an absolute blast and every single event is so much fun. I love you, La Burla Bee! 💜

La Burla Bee is a unique, cool experience. They offer a tasty Italian menu, an inclusive varied entertainment venue, and a place where you will be accepted for who you are. If you are looking for a visual snack, a gastric delight, and a place to just be loved, go to the Bee!

I have visited La Burla Bee more times than I can count. They have done an amazing job at creating a fun and welcoming vibe that keeps us coming back over and over again. Amazing drinks, fantastic entertainment, and delicious food. A safe place where you are welcomed with open arms no matter what. Thank you, Bunny, Romeo, Foxie, Sam, Salene, GingerBae, Panda, Vyper, and so many more people who I now call friends. Thank you for bee(ing) such an important part of Colorado Springs!!!

Coming here for a show and drinks is the most fun I’ve had in Colorado Springs! This place is so accepting of all people and feels like a very safe space.

Yall, i cannot express the gratitude i have for this place. As an alcoholic i have had their amazing drink. The Queen Bee his a bee sting willing to die for. But now as a i practice california soberity, i had a delecious mocktail that will keep bring me back. The servers are kind and quick. The performers are phenomenal!!! I went on a broadway night and outstanding ill talk more about how much this place rocks but you all should come see it yourself. (Also who knows you might see me perform)

Food was not good cold not much of a menu. As for atmospheres looks amazing just way to crowded needs to be bigger and more space between tables . Show was amazing . Needs to be a bigger place and they would be full every night

An experience like none other in Colorado Springs!! Gorgeous space, amazing entertainment, and wonderful friendly staff! This space is part nightclub, part cabaret and part burlesque museum. See the “wall of burlesque legends” or the “wall of pasties”, everywhere you look there is something beautiful. Everyone is welcome and celebrated, the Bee is where you want to BE!!!

This place is amazing. It feels super classy, they have multiple full bars open so it doesn’t take forever to get a drink, and there’s a great community of talented, beautiful artists who come together to put on amazing shows. You’ll be dazzled by all the glitter and glamour! The shows range from classic burlesque to neo-burlesque, to aerialists and pole dancers, classically trained singers, and so much more. There is always something new to see. VERY LGBTQ+ friendly, and security is present and ready to back you up. Tickets are easy to purchase online, and it’s the best option because these shows will fill up QUICK! They also open up as a nightclub after the shows! I’m very excited to watch this place grow and flourish.

I love EVERYTHING about La Burla Bee!! Dinner, burlesque, dancing, drinks, laughs, and meeting new people!! All of this on one spot makes me very happy!! I’m also glad to call this my safe space!!

Thursday sammy sore eyes has got you on any song you want, Friday and Saturday you will not not be disappointed at how lit this mate keeps it. He does not miss Selene and the other workers keep you well. I love this place so much the vibes are perfect go and shake what you where given no judgements

I love this place! Yummy drinks (even Non alcoholic!), great food and wonderful and safe atmosphere! You can tell there is a lot of love and pride put into this place! Whenever Im in the area I make it a point to stop in!

Bunny has always made La Burla such a welcoming place. Safe for everyone who comes.

Staff was very friendly but not very attentive and unfortunately food was subpar. Garlic cheese bread was undercooked and almost gooey. Fettuccine Alfredo was dry with not enough sauce to pasta and clumpy. Brought salad out with dinner instead of before. Silverware didnt match. Also almost took 45 minutes for dinner to be brought out and we were the only ones in the restaurant area

OMG!!!!!! Where do I being?! I had the BEST Bachelorette party that a girl could ask for! The staff were just delightful and show was very entertaining and Queen Bee cocktail made this a night night Ill never forget. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend!

Bad enough the service & food was a let down, but to see that kids were involved was atrocious. Kids are not toys or props and need to be left at home with a sitter!

Havent had there FoOod yet ... someoNe want to take Me there ... show Me around ... MeEeow ... MeEeeoOow

Great place. Only complaint is the DJ plays the same songs every week. It would be nice to hear some new stuff. It’s at the point where we know what song is next.

Had the best time at La Burla Bee! Couldnt help but to put Chef Steffs balls in my mouth, and let me tell you... THEY. DO. NOT. DISSAPOINT! If youre in the area give them a look. Luna and MJ are some of the best bartenders weve had too. Nothing but praise. 🙌🙌

Great people and music. Inclusive environment. My wife dnd I love to go dancing here.

The best place to go and have a great night! The safest place I’ve ever been to where I feel safe and comfortable the entire time

This place is not your typical restaurant. However lots if fun and great Italian food. The Staff is wonderful and very Entertaining. Check it out late evening. Plenty of fun for large groups looking for non-traditional night out.

Great place where you are encouraged to be yourself. Great place to have a good time and dance. The drinks are amazing and the food is spectacular and authentic. Highly recommend burla bee

We had guests from out of state visiting so wanted to try something fun!!! Everyone had the best time!

My wife and I attended a show on the evening of April 22, 2023, and we had an absolute blast! The staff was friendly and responsive, the entertainment was VERY entertaining, and I even got pulled up on stage.

Had a blast at Comedy Night on Sunday, great comedians ... but the MC was a little ridiculous, over emotional/agitated that people were talking in the bar and backroom... he seemed way over the top trying to get Complete Silence (numerous times) just so he could be the only one talking :(

I had no idea this place existed till last week! I was sad I missed the show but I plan on visiting again! Drinks were good and not too overly priced. Music was great and this place was super inclusive and body positive!

Excellent venue! The history behind it is amazing too! The new owner loves her establishment and it shows. Many upgrades since it was The Underground. I would recommend checking it out 🏳️‍🌈

Attended the Rogue Parody and was so impressed with the crew here who all pour their hearts into their performances. It was so much better than I was anticipating and it is refreshing seeing this kind of talent in Colorado Springs. I’ll definitely be back!

Attended karaoke one night and a show another night. Fantastic people, staff and food. Had a fantabulous time, and was treated like a queen. Love this place and the people!!! Stellar show!!!

Luna and Donnie made me feel so incredibly welcome! The tip jar gave me the giggles and Donnie taught me my new favorite word… assels! Thank you Luna and Donnie! I can’t wait to buy my girlfriend some assels and see Donnie perform! Love you both!

Absolutely love everything about this place, especially all the wonderful staff & performers that make it what it is. Thank you Bunny Bee for everything that you do and stand for 💛 Wishing you much love and success!!

A breath-taking, sparkling spectacle of inclusivity that this town desperately needs. Great drinks and atmosphere and the staff and performers all really want patrons to enjoy themselves and feel welcome above all else and it shows!

Actually was sad that it took forever to get food that was only slightly warm and even then it wasnt very good. Ended up getting sick during the middle of the night.

Amazing food and service and the show was incredible! Cant wait to go again! ❤

Great staff and welcoming environment for everyone! Great comedy night on Sundays!

I always tell out of town visitors to stop by this cool place! It’s sexy, fun, and the people are so talented.

Sick venue, great vibe, killer location & fantastic customer serviceonly suggestion would be to change the seating arrangement on hightops 7 & 8 from 6 seats to 5 with 2 on each long side and one on the short back of each table to improve the stage viewcant wait to go back

A beautiful place that helps support diversity! Love the food and the shows.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I had a great time. I was blown away by the food, the staff, the atmosphere, and the entertainment.

You can really feel what a labor of love this place is. The atmosphere is beautiful and very unique. I just love that the owners have designed it to be such a safe and inclusive space.

The newest spot in Colorado Springs that is LGBTQI+ friendly is the greatest!!! I love the atmosphere and the people the run this venue are amazingly loving and accepting!!! Check it out you won’t be disappointed!!!

This is an amazing place. And it also has amazing food. In the picture is Chef Steph. He served us his wonderful balls. (Spaghetti and meatballs)

Awesome place with a great atmosphere. The owner is a beautiful and wonderful lady who cares about the community.Great shows, good food

The staff is always friendly and the vibe is absolutely inclusive. They have done an awesome job and hopefully they continue to be a part of the community for a very long time.

Amazing place, the staff are like family to me. There kindness saved me.

Terrible place drink was bad could only force one down . Sound was not much better and the security was a large crack head trying to feel important . Would not recommend. .

AMAZING PEOPLE AND PLACE!!!The atmosphere is so inviting♡And I love the cage dancers and the aerial stuff doing on in the beehive !!!♡♡♡

AWESOME AWESOME place!!!! Owner is wonderful and has the right mindset for a perfect burlesque club. Very classy and just cool place. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!

Cool place! Love the vibes and the people who work there!!!Need more Taylor Swift and Meghan Trainor tho👍🏼👌🏼🫶🏼

Outstanding atmosphere, food and entertainment, definitely check them out!

Ive always wanted a place like this to open and it does not disappoint! Myself and two others had such a great time. I will be back and I highly recommend you go as well.

All the positive reviews are from employees and performers, plus probably some paid advertisement. Dont waste your time or money.

I loved this place when I first started coming but lately the music has been bad. Lots of T Swift and Megan Trainor 👎🏻👎🏻

Great new venue in Colorado Springs. Burlesque, variety, and a great place to hang out and have drinks with friends.

Great place and the show was a lot of fun. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re visiting Colorado Springs.

Wonderful staff, spacious venue, cheap drinks and a fun atmosphere. What else could you want?
