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

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!

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.

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.

Review №25

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.

Review №28

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

Review №55

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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

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 :(

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
