My husband and I went here and got charged 31$ for two small drinks. Maybe they accidentally double charged me? Then tried to go the the roof patio, and order another drink not knowing they charged us so much, and we werent able to get it . So they charged us 9$ more for the drinks we didnt even touch .

If you can avoid the aggressive bouncers starting fights at the front of the building with other patrons, you might have a good time. I will say the music selection here is trash.

Had a bouncer put Xs on both of my hands because I had an attitude. You cant deny someone to drink just because you dont like them. Also followed me into the bathroom and screamed at me. Usually bring 10-15 people here every other weekend but wont be coming back, any of us. The whole thing was very off

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 the place 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 a private 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 the private party, the bartender Aaron was super professional and knowledgeable. He served us unique drinks all night long along with 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 some real upbeat electronic music the bottom floor is for you, if you want some more radio play type music, hit up the top floor! If you want to have a private party where you really feel like a VIP, talk to Jacob about the Red Martini.All in all, great experience made possible by Jacob.

Once you pass the prison visit-esque pat down the bouncers are forced to give you, its a really fun spot that draws a diverse crowd, especially on Fridays and Saturdays when the first floor has a live band playing. Upstairs can get crowded but the large spacious patio/balcony makes up for that.

Walked in, got one drink, got approached by security and they escorted me and my friends out for something we didn’t do. They said we did drugs in the bathroom when we didn’t even go in the bathroom we literally just got there. The female security guard was SO RUDE AND SO WRONG.also ruined my best friends birthday all we wanted to do was drink some and dance.

Overpriced, trashy, and full of the worst of Colorado Springs. Owner is a real piece of work. Resident mental patient always dancing and making people feel weird on the bottom floor. Been bounced for being on my phone in line. Been bounced for wearing non-formal attire. Been bounced for having a cracked id which matched my colorado app. Also waited at the bar for 20 minutes and dealt with a rude bartender when I asked for a vodka shot and a vodka soda. Literally just save your time, don’t go here or any other establishment this trash tycoon owns.

Security guards all have a napoleon complex. The way they talk to paying customers is absolutely disgusting. I was attacked and pulled out of there, because the guard told me to put my jacket back on, because my tank top didnt fit the dress code. I asked him why the women next to the bar was able to wear her tank top, and he and 3-5 other guards jumped on my back, tired to choke me and force me down the stairs. I really believe because I was holding the hand of my husband prior to this incident, that he 100% was homophobic, and didnt like the fact that he felt small next to me. I want to press charges on the guard that jumped on me. He was a disgusting excuse for a human, and was extremely aggressive from the start. I could have been severely injured, for absolutely no reason at all. Me nor any person I know or associate with will ever be at that establishment again. I know if u have cameras, they will prove that what Im saying is valid. I would love it if management could reach out to rectify the issue.

My friend and I went to Blondies after visiting another bar and went straight to the restroom on the second floor. As many women do, we went to the restroom together, and after a couple minutes, a man, who did not announce himself, started banging on the door, demanding us to come out. Of course, if a man is banging on the door two women are not going to immediately come out, and we finished going to the restroom. When we came out the man demanded we leave the bar and tried to shove me down the two steps that are by the restroom entrance. When I didnt let him push me down the stairs he then grabbed me and pushed me to the ground, hard enough to knock the wind out of me. NOT ONCE did he tell us what we did wrong. Other bouncers were holding him back telling him he was going too far. Finally as we were being shoved down the stairs I looked a woman bouncer in the eye and begged her to tell me what we did wrong and she told me two people are not allowed to go to the bathroom together. This is not posted ANYWHERE. Not ONCE were were told this before being screamed at and physically assaulted. Terrible experience. We were there for a total of 10 minutes before being assaulted

I wish I could actually give this place 0 stars. My husband and I were walking back to our car from a date at Lumen8 and an employee from Blondies ran into my husband with a bucket of ice and then tried to start a confrontation with my husband who had done nothing wrong. My husband and I continued walking back to the car and then parked closer to Blondies and asked to speak to a manager. We returned and were then given the go around. Finally, we spoke to the manager (Jacob) who told us his “guys told a different story” about what had happened and he would have to review the video footage. He then told my husband he was being “confrontational” and walked away. We will be filing a formal complaint with the city and hopefully Blondie’s business license will be revoked. As a COS patron and community member, I am appalled and disappointed at this establishment’s treatment of me and my husband as we were simply walking back to our vehicle in front of Blondies after what should have been an enjoyable evening with friends.

Gotta appreciate the rooftop bar, but the music could use a facelift. Rude bartenders, disgusting 2 stall bathrooms and HouseMusic is not going to keep me here to say the least. Not to mention how crazy it gets here because the military guys can not go to any of the other bars in the strip, I unfortunately was caught in the middle of a fight not to long ago and took an unexpected punch to my face by a man. If you are looking for a good night I do not recommend coming to this bar.

Some nights there are pretty fun but yesterday there was an overflowing urinal. Literally a quarter inch of urine covered the entire bathroom floor. Smelled awful, really permeates throughout the entire establishment. Also staff there are generally rude. Understandable considering the patrons are equally incorrigible. But I used to think it was the classiest option downtown, not the case in 2023

I typically love going here, but I had one bad experience that makes me not want to go back... a few weeks ago my friends and I went and one of the female bartenders was extremely rude. We ordered a drink and a couple of shots and each time she practically threw the drink at us, making it spill on the table. The first time we ordered I left a tip, but the second time I chose not to because of the service and my drink spilling on the table. She said she wouldnt serve us anymore because we didnt tip and that we would have to go somewhere else. This was just really frustrating. Ive been a bartender before, so I know how stressful things can get, but this was a bit much...

I’m typically a normal here when my friends and I go out on the weekend - that might change. We went this past weekend and had quite the experience with a young lady at the bar (bartender). I ordered a simple vodka and Redbull and (admittedly) I didn’t tip as I felt opening a premade drink into a glass and adding ice was not worth it. (I mean how hard is that really?) The bartender took note of this and when I went up again to order a lemon drop shot she abruptly told me verbatim “I’m not going to serve you if you don’t tip”. After checking my bank account later that evening I noticed a transaction had gone through on my orders with more than the receipt amount I had signed for. (In short, she ended up adding a tip for herself of which I didn’t approve.)Here’s the issue: 1. Under my understanding, a tip is a courtesy NOT a requirement to be served (they also do not note this “policy” anywhere on signs or their website that a tip is required). 2. I have gone multiple times before and done the exact same and this has never ever been an issue. (Also was what would’ve been a $1.00 tip really worth going out of your way to be rude to a customer?)I get that those in the serving industry value tips and the extra money, but what happened tonight was uncalled for, unprofessional, and quite frankly I’m pretty baffled that that even happened.. it definitely put a damper on the rest of the night.

Review №21

On New Years Eve, my (extremely well behaved and under control) Service Dog and I were denied access to this club. The excuse was that it was too crowded and my dog would be stepped on. This is an assessment that is only my right as a Handler to determine and the establishment is not permitted under law to make this assessment. However, I was denied anyway. I am 120 pounds and the risk of my SD getting stepped on is no higher than anyone elses, including someone in a wheelchair or double my size. To the management, I hope you never have to personally experience the level of discrimination you represented toward me as a result of my disability and chosen medical equipment.

This place is bad. They were pushing people with their hands to get out of the bar as it’s freezing outside. We’re waiting for an Uber and they start pushing my husband out of the door and he pushes back and then one of the bouncers starts telling my husband to fight one of the bouncers and then the cops take my husband in hand cuffs. Awful bar and awful human beings. They don’t care about anyone besides themselves. Do not visit here.

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. an unidentified man (bartender apparently?) holding a cigarette in one hand and a drink in the other came up and aggressively demanded they button up their shirts completely. since we thought it was some random patron, we hesitated and asked why. how dare we. immediately assaulted and thrown against a brick wall. i’ve never seen such an abuse of “power”, simply ask us nicely to leave due to violation of dress code— don’t immediately resort to inflicting bodily harm on respectful guests. will be filing a police report and following up to get the security footage to pass along to our lawyers. don’t waste your money here— a bunch of incompetent and inconsistent staff

A guy tried to fight my friend while he was with his girlfriend and they were trying to pay their tab. For some reason it kept declining when they tried paying even after showing the bartender they had money in their account. So they asked if they could cash app the bartender because they didn’t know what was wrong and another bartender jumped over the counter to fight my friend then security removed my friend like he was the problem it’s super upsetting that this places hires unprofessional anger management needing white supermecists please stay away from this place if you don’t want to get hurt

This review has been a long time coming. My girls and I had a small staycay for a friends 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 Blondies was definitely the BEST choice I MEAN IT! The entire staff treated us so well. We spent most of our time on the rooftop deck enjoying drinks and dancing. The bartenders, security and even the DJ were all so nice and treated us well. The DJ took requests with no issue. When there were creeps not leaving us alone the bartender and security handled it and Jacob Johnson helped put everything together for our night out. The only downside was the rooftop closes earlier than the other levels and we were ready to stop the party! 😉

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 joking with 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’t budge me she decided to radio another “bouncer” who got very violent with me and my brother who was also shocked we were being kicked 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 the clubs on that street that we had started a fight with them!! When we told the club across the street (cowboys) what we were really 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 someone over what they’re wearing. Go the cowboys next door! That place is awesome!!

My boyfriend was trying to pay our tab and the nice bartender was trying to work with us because we genuinely didn’t know why our payment was declining after so many declines “with money in the account “ we asked if we could cash app or pay pal the bartender because we really didn’t know what was going on ( it Litteraly said we had 2k in the account) another bartender started calling my boyfriend broke and jumped over the bar to fight him while we was trying to figure out payment super unprofessional and super sad that this place hires people like that I used to love coming here with him and have never had a problem but after the bartender jumped over the bar to grab my boyfriend (for no reason) security grabbed my boyfriend like he was the problem and removed us it’s very upsetting this is how they treat there guest with no respect or consideration when just trying to pay their tab

Review №34

Always a favorite especially because there’s no cover needed, don’t wear your hat there they won’t let you in or hold it. Relaxed, a different theme to each floor so there’s something for everyone. Pool tables in the back are fun. Rooftop bar and deck sitting areas are amazing in warm weather. The clientele can get a little sketchy and I don’t really think anything can be done about this more than what they do. There’s lots of bouncers and staff for security though.

I went here with my sister for her sexy school girl contest. It was a lot of fun decently priced drinks, good music and I met a lot of cool new people. Only bad part was there was a fight in the bathroom but that is pretty normal when people drink a little too much. I would definitely go again.

I was ignored when trying to buy a drink. Never got the drink. Other people spoke up for me and the bartender shrugged. Im a military vet. This goes to show it doesnt matter where I go, people will deliberately not serve me. I went through the whole list of why I wasnt served. I wish I could give no stars but I want people to see my experience. Im very saddened. I fight for my country and this is what happens when I come back. This is my experience and Im very saddened and hurt by this.

The ground floor dj kept starting music and then just wandering away to chill with some dudes by the pool tables. He didnt actually dj. I hope they arent paying him. They could just make a playlist of EDM and play that for free. The bathrooms stink even though theres no visible reason. The music isnt really loud enough on any of the floors. The cranberry vodka was $8 and tasted more like everclear than vodka.

The bartenders didn’t bother to even look our way. It wasn’t until 10-15 minutes later that one of the other customers took the time to ask us why we weren’t being served. He asked a bartender why everyone else was served ahead of us, and she said she only served “half the bar”. Finally, another bar tender took my order after she saw there was a problem. I told them my friend and I didn’t expect to be discriminated against for being Black, especially in such an “inclusive” place like Colorado Springs. One bartender didn’t even seem to care and carried on about her day, while the other one finally served me. I don’t recommend this place to any people of color or our allies.

Went here for my 21st birthday. My boyfriend and I were on the rooftop and both had to go down to use the restroom. My boyfriend left his nice jacket on the rooftop. I waited in the line to go back upstairs while he went to ask security if he could get his jacket back. Security told him “I heard you for the 40th f’in time” even though he only asked once. The guard tackled him to the ground even though my boyfriend was not violent at all and kicked him out leaving me wondering what happened. Completely ruined the celebration of my birthday as well as our night. Also now my boyfriend does not have his $60 electronic cigarette due to the conflict with security. We spent near $100 there buying drinks for ourselves as well as others trying to have a good time. Thank you blondies for ruining my 21st birthday!!! The security in question that tackled my boyfriend was Hispanic wearing glasses, about 58” 175~ Lbs.

Was here last night along with Cowboys and Mansion. These places all have potential and can all use some help from Bar Rescue. Blondies was discussing dryed up puke in every room. The pool tables by the bathrooms look worse than the free ones on Craigslist also the stench will make ya gag if you go by it. The DJ was an absolute fraud PLAYING HARDWELL YouTube Hardwell on air Ive never been in a club and heard a DJ play another DJS YouTube video and act like it was him. Normally places like this are well promoted. Cater to ladies offer drink specials promote bottles and sell table services. For a Saturday night it was pathetic. Bartender she was rude as can be threw ice at someone walking by that could be dangerous if people were actually dancing. Its sad Colorado Springs needs good bars clubs n night life the venues are big enough to have great talent and a packed house but the management doesnt know how to clean promote or find out what guests think. PS management if your hiring and would like my services please get back to me.

You need to get rid of that manager. He doesnt take care of the place and his employees hate him.He lies and isnt friendly. He is very arrogant, which is probably why he hires the DJs he does.The place is a lot cleaner that The Mansion, but its also a lot smaller and less ghetto.They really need to get DJs to play what people come there to listen to. Not what they want. WE COME TO DANCE!!

This is always a fun place to go to. I like that there are usually two djs. The dance floor is a decent size, but you do tend to be bumped into pretty regularly by the traffic in and out of the bathroom area and the area where they have pool tables. I like that there are three floors, one of them being a nice outside terrace with fireplaces. Usually always have a good time when I am there. What would make it a 5? Probably a larger dance floor with a cooler light/laser display, but that is difficult to make happen I realize.

I bought $30 tickets for my group of 8 to have brunch and watch the parade from their rooftop. When we got there they said the rooftop wasn’t open but we could watch from their second floor balcony. The balcony was very small and since we weren’t right up against the rail we couldn’t see. The tickets were just a rip off. I left aNd went next door to Vans where I watched from their rooftop for free. I’m very frustrated to have wasted the money on Blondies bogus tickets.

Review №54

Your mileage may vary. If you like clubs, this is alright for a midsized Midwestern town. Theres a rather spacious and nice rooftop dance floor and bar, an always overcrowded second level balcony and bar. The main dance floor on the ground floor is disappointing at best. Its rather small, located in a high traffic area and near the stairs. Its suboptimal on many levels. The music is alright, depending on the DJ. At best its inoffensive remixes of popular pop and EDM tracks.

We went there on a trip to the Broadmore. Do not go there! We spent the evening before trying to get through all of the cops outside of the bar next door, after eating dinner close by. We decided to try Blondies because they hadnt been open our first night in town and we expected a little higher class of people. We were wrong! The bartenders were snotty and horrible at pouring a proper drink! The bouncers were passive to say the least. Someone got thrown out and walked right past the bouncer to get back in. One of the servers took our full drink, when we went to the bar to ask for another...they refused. Dont waste your time or money! So many other places to visit in that area. Oh-but not the Mansion or the Martini bar next it. The same people, own all of them!!

Review №62

This place discriminates on the patrons who go there to have fun. We went there to have s good time and had 3 drinks before we were approached by security telling my friend that he had to leave because he seemed like he was drunk because he was limping, well my friend wears a prosthetic which was the reason for his limp. They never approached him and asked him why he was limping all they did was point fingers and said that he was drunk cause of his limp. The security guy said that his manager had told him to tell my friend he had to leave for that reason. Well we explained why he was limping and we refuse to leave. I was baffled for the way my friend was being discriminated against just for his limp. We asked to speak to the manager and we were told no. You would think if an issue arises and a customer needs to spesk to a manager in regards to an issue there eould come down and speak to that custoner, its part of customer service, you dont just leave a customer standing there not being helped. So we waited for a friend to come downstairs so we can leave the premises because we were not gonna stay in a a place that discriminates against their patrons. Before leaving I approached a female security and asked to see if they had a business card for the manager and she said no and she asked why I needed one. I told her so I can file a complaint against him for discrimination. Since she didnt have a card I asked her to have the manager come talk to me and she said no, so this is when I told her my lawyers will take care of this matter thank you and walked away. Well right before we exited the building the first initial security guy that tried to kick my friend out for saying he was drunk for limping not knowing my friend wears a prosthetic leg came up with the manager, this was only after I mentioned lawyers. We spoke to the manager and he apologized and said he didnt know my friend had a prosthetic, so I told him you never asked or approached my friend why he was limping or if he was ok. He just assumed my friend was drunk because he was limping. I told the manager he can face a potential discrimination suit for the actions he took and all he could do was apologize. All previous reviews talks about how bad security is in this place and this has taken it to another level. We will no longer patronize this place because of the discrimination my friend had to endure.

Bartender charged my credit card a $50. It should only be $31 drinks and I was also nice enough to give her $6 in tips. But when I looked at my receipt, there was a printed saying Authorized up to $50.00 that I didnt notice up until I saw my bank charge. I am very disappointed and have learned my lesson to never use credit cards on any bars now. This just happened last night when I decided to hang out with my cousins and their fiancés. So in short not a very good experience at all 😭

I had purchased a few drinks for them. When I got the bill the damage was $30.00! Yikes! right? Its Blondies tho and they have always over charged for their drinks. So I paid $30.00 with a $0.00 tip and $3.00 cash tip. I checked my bank account the next morning, to my surprise I had been charged $36.00! I suspect he had added $6.00 as his tip! Now I know its not a lot of money, its the fact that I was charged an amount I didnt approve of! In my eyes thats theft and should be grounds for termination! I really hope that this gets fixed and my money is returned to me. I will be contacting my bank and filing for fraud on monday. I will repost the outcome to let you all know how they dealt with this situation.

Nice venue, ample dance area and plenty of seating and bathrooms. 3 levels including a patio on the roof thats great in the warm months. Fire pit outside in the winter.

Went there one night was a nice place interesting choice of music, all alternative, not bad for some people just not for everyone, bartenders were awesome!

Review №76

Security is a joke and discriminatory. I walked in, went upstairs to the balcony, had not ordered anything, and within 5 minutes was asked for my ID and told I was cutoff. What? Apparently they saw me walk into a glass door. I think I would have memory of that seeing as how I do not drink alcohol and was therefore completely sober. Security or bartender or whoever he was is complete rubbish.

This place was crowded! I normally hate crowds, but this crowd was fun, young and upbeat. Great music, and no trouble getting inside, even though it was St. Patricks Day - a very busy night on the strip!

Review №78

Blondies was a decent Go Out For Drinks experience, but my friend had the tab that night, so I didnt deal with the bar enough to make a good judgment on their staff.The inner atmosphere is pretty lively, though the dance floor can get crowded. The gogo dancers are cute and like what they do, so thats a plus, though on the downside, I started a battle and one of the staff actually came up to me and said Hey man. Dont break-dance, which cheapens any club experience if youre the Get Your Groove On type (which I happen to be).Also, as anybody knows, parking in Downtown Springs is a biz-natch, and Blondies is by no means free of the hassled parking!All in all, the experience was good, but I have a high patience threshold and I was being treated to drinks.Ergo, it was average. Not a bad little place, but Id like to see some nightclubs open up around here that are big enough to support well-sized crowds.

Dont go to blondies, my buddy and I were kicked out for one reason, our haircut. They dont support military. My buddy and I were dancing not harassing anybody 6 security guards kicked us out because our haircuts. Im really disappointed In the security there. I will never go there again because they are against fadesand service members. Dont support blondies because they dont support us..., and after that they will steal valor saying they are E-6 E-7s with full beards, Im so disappointed with the security there I will never go there again, and if you do make sure you dont have a fade because they will take your money and bounce you out

Review №84

So I was at this place I played some pool n got water. After I came back I was told I was not aloud to enter I wasnt drunk and did nothing out of line. But yet I felt singled out for seemingly no reason, and if there was a reason it was never explained to me. I went to have a good night with my friends n left very early due to alienation... I will never go to blondies again...

One of the worst wana be clubs in Springs. Pertencious bouncers who wont let college kids in because the colors of their shirts - wear MOM JEANS or dont get in and OMG dont wear a sports team... not that anyone would wana go here. The guy at the door smells like old seafood and thinks he owns the place (in his 30s typical bro type) Dont waste your $$ go to Denver.

Visiting, and found an exciting nightlife downtown. First we were told to check out the Mansion, Blondies big brother of a club. They told us to skip the cover and hit up Blondies.Great decision! Multi level experience, superb artistic decor, professional & helpful staff, and some of the best security ive ever seen at a club. And the dj kept the party going non stop.

Review №93

Pure Trash!!! There is no cover and that is the only thing I can say good about Blondies. But let me say you get what you pay for.... splurge the money and pay the cover next door at the Mansion!! You will have a much better time. Blondies hires pathetic bouncers on a power trip, ugly bar tenders who cant mix a drink to save their lives. Guys come out to see beautiful women, you wont see them here! I recommend the Mansion who has the best bar tenders, women and the bouncers are actually nice. Blondies has no class. Not my style. There is a reason that all the reviews here are bad!

I love this place, people, go there, meet bartenders, dance, go on an open roof top, 2nd floor has awesome balcony lounge, they make good drinks, you will always find someone to talk to, you can go to Mansion bar through the back door if you have Mansions stamp, all sorts of convenient, fun, electric, energetic and awesome.
