I was here roughly a month ago and realized I forgot to review. most dishes are definitely a little pricey at $15-$25 but it is so worth it. The food was really really good and it was plenty. I was barely able to finish my whole plate. Staff seemed to be nice and professional, and really tried to make our experience a good one. It was a pretty chill place to visit. read more

Ambiance was good. Classic bar n grill, nice open space. Services was great! Beers were brought out quickly and refills were on it! Pizza was possible the worst I've ever had. Definitely NOT Back east style. It was bland as could be. I've seriously had frozen pizza that was better. read more

Solid sports bar in Monument! Lots of TVs for all of your sports-viewing needs. I got the Kickin Cubano sandwich, which has a house smoked pork loin, capicola, melted smoked Gouda, banana peppers, pickles, and house made beer mustard on a hoagie. The bread is on the flatter side, but it was the perfect ratio of bread to filling ingredients for me. The highlight of my meal was their tater tots, which were so well seasoned and crispy in comparison to your usual cookie cutter tater tots (not sure if they are house made). It did take a while for our food to come out, but it seemed to be a pretty busy night for them, and the food was well worth the wait. read more

Back East Bar & Grill - Kickin cubano with tater tots - Sports Bars Near Me - Monument, Colorado

Another day of putting away Christmas decorations! 88 trees down and all things tucked back into storage. We decided to venture out again to the local neighborhood bar. Only went to grab a beer and a basket of fries but you know how the story ends! We started with a Blue Moon and I tried a taster of Big Sky Huckleberry Blonde! The Blonde was super delish! Thanks to Shawna our server for the recommendation. Couldn't order just a basket of fries so we ordered some wings extra crispy mango habanero. As always they were perfectly cooked and everything was piping hot! Had to finish with an ice cold Coors Light and headed home for the afternoon! Don't forget they do have a military discount which is cool! read more

Great food and excellent service despite being very busy for the World Cup final. We'd return again if we are in the area in the future

Food is consistant...service today...soooooooooo slow. Server spent too much time with her friends at the the bar. I will not return. Another couple near me said the same thing...they will not return. read more

What a time. A small group of us met from the class of '85. Emma was our server and she did an amazing job. Great service and really good food. I had the shrimp tacos. The fry on the shrimp was perfect and balance of acid in the aioli paired so week. Thanks Back east, great time read more

Great pizza and plenty of tv's for your teams. Great service and the pizza dough is the best around.

Wonderfully welcome service on a Thursday night! Loved the pizza, Philly cheesesteak & had a good salad too. This place is kid friendly as well. read more

We went for dinner and looked at the menu ahead of time. Their online menu showed they had several gluten-free options, which was great as I have celiac. When we got there, we were informed that the gluten-free options are not truly gluten-free due to crossing contamination with flour in their kitchen and their fryers not being separate from foods that are deep-fried with gluten. My wife has eaten there before and really enjoyed the sandwich she got so this is no knock on their food. Just a note that if you're going there in the future, looking for gluten-free items, they don't truly have a gluten-free menu. It's more like gluten friendly. read more

Delicious food and very kind staff! Jensen was great! Will be back again soon! Get the tots, you won't regret it!

Great Sports Bar, great food, great drinks, but the BEST part are the Back East Staff. Cheryl & Sammy run the bar like clockwork, and really make an excellent first impression! As do all the staff. Always smiling, accommodating and they really take time to get to know their regulars. It feels like home; warm & welcoming! Back East has a ton of seating, high tops, tables, outdoor patio & large horseshoe bar with rotating craft beers. Plenty of TVs, great for watching your fave game with a group of friends. They also have e-darts, and offer karaoke & trivia nights (get there early it fills up fast)! And CLEAN bathrooms!! (Important)! LOL! Their house made pizza is literally the best in town, their salads are fresh and very generously portioned, their fish & chips is the best I've tasted since I was in the UK, and they offer a crazy selection of hot or cold sandwiches and burgers, something for everyone for sure! Overall one of the best local sports bars in CO! Happy to recommend them very highly! Go there! Enjoy the pizza! Then go back again & again to try the rest of their great food! read more

Loved it! We just moved local and were looking for a replacement to our favorite bar back home and this fits like a glove. Foods, drinks, people are all great. Plus trivia on Wednesdays! read more

Wonderful every time. I think they only hire runner-up from the Miss Colorado contest. Although it is called a "bar" that isn't the vibe. They have plenty of big screen TVs but no volume so you can carry on a normal conversation. The food is incredible as they put their own twist on dishes. The green chili is top drawer. The burger selection is ALL great. Our waitress was busy but never was neglected as she would keep tabs on how soon the food would arrive. read more

Good and great service. Kids are welcome as well. Great live music. Philly cheese steak is delicious. Great place in monument read more

Our go to, super casual, sit down in Monument. A little of everything on the menu to please everyone. Favorite is green chili over waffle fries. Their Rueben is awesome!! Fish n chips is always good and a big serving. Wings are top notch! Tried the new Asian Noodle bowl tonight and it was good... very spicy and heavy on the sauce but good. Steak salad is yummy. Hubby liked the Sriracha Mac n cheese. Mixed drinks are worth getting! Staff is ALWAYS friendly!! read more

Great service and great food. It's our go to place. Everything is delicious. We also love their pizza!

Ordered a calzone and green chile. The calzone was burned and had the wrong ingredients. The chile was good, but the tortilla was dry and crispy. The food was definitely not worth the price. read more

We regularly get pizza at the Monument location. They are always friendly and prompt. No disappointments yet! The parking can be iffy if there is something going on like a live band or trivia night. read more

We have ordered many things form this establishment and have gone here for years. The last couple years it has steadily gone down hill with us waiting over an hour for pizza to various other things. Tonight took the cake, the back east bread came out with sausage on it and I told the server very nicely I didn't order sausage so he took it and when it came back out I had no words. They literally took the sausage off the top and did not replace any of the cheese that they scraped along with it so we essentially got bread with little cheese. Then when my bill came out I had a discount on it and my first thought was thank god they saw what they did... nope, just didn't have me pay for the sausage. I'm happy to show a picture as well. The food was cold no refills on drinks and had to call the server over for the bill. read more

I think this place was just OK. We went here after 7pm and had a party of 6. The atmosphere is loud, can't really have a conversation without yelling. Lots of tvs but they are all pretty small for a sports bar. The fish sandwich wasn't anything special and the tater tots are a hard pass. One bit of advice on that front, buy a bag of frozen tots and call it good. Whatever you're severing, those are not tater tots. Over cooked crumbs of something that got deep fried is what that would be called. The waitress wasn't very attentive but then again they looked short staffed as there were tables that needed bussing and they didn't look like they had coverage. Ambiance poor, blasting TVs and food was meh, service was also just OK. read more

We popped in for a drink and soup. The green chili was delicious. Definitely a neighborhood place. The bartender was very good and nice. read more

Always the best fish n chips!!! Pizza is good too... good service ... and good tv for viewing sports

Food was pretty bad, second time in a row. Fish & chips were nasty. First bite of Cole slaw and I actually had to spit it out in napkin. My son says his burger was ok, but was not med-rare as he ordered. Service was good enough. The place is dark and dreary looking...no character at all. So many better choices in north Springs area. read more

Great food huge fish. Fish tacos were also great. Had great service as well. Live band getting ready to start. read more

Had a great lunch with friends today. Service was excellent and the food was really good. Our friends thoroughly enjoyed the fish & chips and fish sandwich. We had the Turkey, avocado and bacon roll up and a spicy burger...both with onion rings...YUMMY! We will definitely go back soon. read more

The best Fried fish & Chips we have found in The Springs. Their sandwiches are stacked high, it's a friendly environment, their specials are delicious, and there are actually three locations that you can get those fish and chips at. This owner has Backeast in Monument, one on Briargate at Union, and also owns Abbys Irish Pub on Powers at Briargate. Hubby and I discovered this through a neighbor, when we first moved here. Looking for a neighborhood sports bar and I'll my girlfriends and I go to one of the locations at least a couple times a month for our GNO. Fresh Salads, sandwiches, specials, the chicken pot pie at Abbey's!!!!!, the corned beef at Abbey's... we just keep going back! read more

The food was reasonably good and the service was outstanding for a Friday night. We ordered fish and chips and the shrimp. Spicy Fries were excellent, fried fish good and shrimp horrible. We also ordered some calamari as an appetizer and it was undercooked. The beer was cold and the ambiance was very very noisy... and this was before the band started playing. The acoustics of the local are awful and voices and music reverberates making it impossible to hold a normal conversation. read more

The local sports bar with generous bar food doesn't disappoint. I tried the Colorado Burger with grilled onions, queso blanco, and bacon on a pretzel roll (on the side to share at home). This was creamy and delicious, though the onions weren't carmelized but warmed to limpness. The bacon was crispy and 2 slices generous. I upgraded to a side of onion rings and they were OK, not unusual. Service was spot-on and Kayla checked in with us regularly with huge smiles. This is a great place for a burger! read more

I don't usually have high expectations for bar food, just have good wings and I'm happy. BUT, this place has amazing food. Amazing. I could not believe the flavor explosions in their dishes. I was ultra happy with the mango habanero wings - super crunchy on the outside while juicy on the inside with a sweet but spicy sauce. I love how it was a perfect balance between sweet and spicy, not too much of one or the other. My boyfriend got The Colorado sandwich with grilled chicken and a side of waffle fries and I was honestly jealous of him when I took a bite. Absolutely amazing flavor between the smokiness of the chicken, the very melty queso blanco, and the bacon. It gave off such a southwestern flavor profile that I love. The rest of their menu sounds so amazing I will be definitely be back to try more! read more

Back East Bar & Grill - Buffalo Wing (10 Pcs) - Sports Bars Near Me - Monument, Colorado

Not the best experience. First night in Colorado Springs we decided to try out Back East. Place was not too busy and sat down very quickly. Ordered a appetizer (Chicken Quesadilla) and drinks. Drinks came quickly. The quesadilla had chicken bones in it. My girlfriend kept pulling them out of her mouth. We stopped eating it. Food took a little longer and in the mean time my drink was empty for a good 20 mins. I had the Colorado Burger and she had the Turkey Bacon Avocado sandwich. My burger was solid. I gave it a 7.8. She rated her sandwich a 8.5. The burger and sandwich were good. Quesadilla was not edible. Service was bellow average Back east was okay but could be great Overall 2.5/5 read more

We were in the area with an out of town friend looking for a spot to watch Notre Dame Football. A little research led us here. There were definitely some other fans here which we loved. We were able to get one round of beers, but that's about all I can tell you. Unfortunately their server was completely overwhelmed and nowhere to be found through most of our visit. We eventually got the bartender to give us our check and we headed out. No food or additional drinks to speak of. I was disappointed. They have a lot of seating inside and plenty of TVs. Maybe it was an off day. Maybe that server is no longer there. It's all hard to say. But it wasn't a top notch visit for us. read more

Mothers Day take out, quoted 30 min. Arrived to a line for pickup 5 people deep that took 20 min before being assisted. Another 20 min before receiving my food.

The food is good and particularly the fish sandwich. The staff is what truly sets this location apart. Ashley and the other leadership members have assembled a first rate group of staff. They learn names and are so polite. This is great local haunt. The atmosphere is casual, the food is good, the staff is friendly and the local characters are an added bonus read more

It either chose the wrong menu item or caught them on an off day. The fried fish wasn't that great and the waffle fries disappointed. Other things I saw go by looked good. Great tap list and friendly staff. I'll give it another try. read more
