Nice layout as far as bars go. It was called something else so pay attention to the nautical theme is some places. In case, you're wondering. Another place I will never forget. My adventures take me elsewhere. You should definitely drop by.

We were visiting Colorado Springs during Thanksgiving week. We were looking for a casual restaurant/bar that had a band in on Friday night & found this place. We arrived at around 7 pm and glad we found a table so we can eat. We were near ...

I cannot say enough about the staff (owner included) and the teamwork and this bar. They have a great atmosphere and the live band was just about to play as we were leaving. The staff is friendly, prompt and worked so well together to take care of the patrons. They even had a massive party of almost 30 people, and maintained incredible service to the rest of the bar as well. They reacted quickly when I let the know a stall in the woman's restroom was outta toilet paper. We ordered the 3 tacos- flour shells fried in house stuffed with ground beef lettuce and tomato, simple and yummy. Highly recommend!

We had a great time listening to live music and eating good food. Awesome onion rings and 1 wings on Sundays. The garlic aioli were excellent and so were the Pikes peak heat. Manitou Springs is an amazing tourist town.

One of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever eaten, it was so delicious. My friend had the Rueben and she said it was really good as well. Service was top notch and friendly!!

Owners Jenna and Jason did a fantastic job accommodating the 75 guests at my "Farewell to Colorado" party. My dear friend, Dan Raza, from London UK put on a brilliant show, previewing songs from his soon to be released new CD "WAYFARER". Dan was backed up by top local musicians Bryant Jones, Derek Gray, Oakley Casaboom, Andre Mali as well as Stephanie Pauline who was also Dan's opener. All my guests were very very happy with the service, food, and entertainment! They texted and called me for weeks afterward to say how fantastic the party was! I highly recommend Armadillo Ranch for your special event!

Really great food and service! The special was 2 tacos and a margarita for 15. And both the tacos and the drinks were fabulous! All the food was cleanly fresh and made in house. The server went above and beyond. 5 stars!

Fantastic food. The manager special of a margarita and two tacos did not disappoint. I expected a tiny little margarita and some baby tacos, but the portions were huge on both counts. Super tasty too. Service was the right amount of laid-back and friendly. Highly highly recommend!
