Cool lil pub in Old Colorado City. Had the fish and chips, HUGE piece of fish. Great Chips…read more Loved the different cut. I would have actually like the fish in 2 pieces.

Odd place... The Fifty-Niner is one of like 4 businesses in one location. There's the game store,…read moreice cream shop, The Fifty-Niner and a theater (https://springsensembletheatre.org/). The 59er is a "speakeasy" for gamers. Not sure why it's considered a speakeasy though because you can just walk from the game shop or ice cream shop into it. Nothing sneaky about it. Not sure how they make money as it seemed that people camp out here for hours playing D&D and Magic. [Also strange that I saw people bring in their own beer - seems like that could jeopardize their license] The food was ok. Nothing to write home about. I did have their grilled cheese sandwich. I don't recall all that it had on it other than a jam and a brie. It was tasty but the ingredients seemed really really stingy. The sandwich would have been better with a better melting cheese. The employees we've met (once for ice cream and once for The 59er), have been nice but also STRESSED. They don't have enough help. They're running around trying to manage all the different aspects of the space. There will often be a lengthy wait on ice cream because they're serving food in the back, helping in the game shop. I bet they'd have less shoplifting and more visitors if they had more staff to give a better experience.

I'm sure going at nighttime would add to this. Plenty of seating and we got to choose where to sit. Limited bar seats though. We chose a a short back booth which was comfy. Service was good as well, greeted upon arrival and fairly consistent checking for how we were doing. Drinks were tasty, first one I had was the sticks and stones with the second one burnt bridges. Both had unique flavors and vastly different than one another. I'd go back to try a few other thi BHG s and see the vibe later at night.

It was unique and complex. It hits you first with a spicy smack but immediately follows it up with a chocolaty/coffee aftertaste and fruit notes. The food was good too. Plenty of vegiterian and vegan options. We went with the corn flatbread (not its real name but I forgot) and it was great. It had a nice lime and paprika finish with sweat corn and chewy flatbread as the base. The server was very friendly and came over often to check on us. That combined with the great atmosphere made this a great experience. (Im a sucker for hanging lights and vines).

Once downstairs, you'll see the bar as well as several tables in the dining area. Our group of five opted to sit at a table and ordered drinks and dinner. The food was ok-nothing outstanding, but fine. I ordered a drink off menu (a vesper) and found that it was also just ok. The servers are nice and attentive even when the place got busy later in our visit. I'd definitely return and probably explore something on the menu that they specialize in.

We started with a glass of Prosecco and then did wine flights. They have a ton of great combinations and themes for their flights - and they also have a whiskey flight if you're not a wine drinker. They sell beer as well. You get complimentary bread and oil - the bread was so so good. We also ordered the meat and cheese plate which was great. There were lots of dessert options - we went with the opera cake, which was really good. The service was great. Really enjoyed this place and would love to go back.

The first time I was there was many years ago, when the warm fireplace with couches was a centerpiece and memorable. It's upstairs, off the street, windows looking out. I finally made it back with a friend, and we had a great time; however, as John C. said in his comments, I can relate to the (still current) problems they seem to be facing with only one employee available, and no one to make the cheese fondue we were looking forward to. We settled for a cheese and hummus & olive plates, which were good, just not what we wanted. I do not recall the fireplace going. There were a couple of other parties seated at tables, and it seemed as though our server was a bit overwhelmed. He did know about the wine, which we appreciated. I do not wish to write off this special place and am hopeful they will make improvements based on reviews like this one.

First off, I love, LOVED this place when it first opened and brought friend after friend there…read morebecause it is unique and fun, like walking into another era. However, the last time I went there (in 2024), we had a young man who was very rude serving us. He did not bring our drinks to us until one of us had to go ask him for our order! It seemed as though he may have been resentful, as our drinks were mediocre to bad - tasted like no alcohol - with hardly any volume...yet our bill - for only three drinks - was outlandishly high!! I was so disappointed and, frankly, embarrassed for District Elleven. How I wish I could have some kind of reassurance that this kind of thing would not happen again, so I would be moved to go back...the ambience gave me the best vibe being there, and that is an accomplishment in itself. A++ for ambience (and previously, also for drinks and food from next door); but now, F for service and drinks - so sad.
