Food: great cocktails - try their chamomile whiskey sour. It's excellent. Ambiance: nestled under a bar, it is a hidden sanctuary that smells of roses and is adorned with them, too.

That said - the vibe is really nice! Music was a little louder than anticipated but I really enjoyed it nonetheless. The bartender was super helpful with drink recs and general CO springs recs! I had the Violet Lady cocktail because the bartender said it would probably be the most floral - and it WAS very floral, just how I like my cocktails! I sat at the bar which was actually very spacious, and they had lots of other booths and some tables. Bathrooms also very clean. They do actually have a fairly extensive menu online, and QR codes at the bar. Here's the URL: https://bloomultralounge.com/colorado-springs-downtown-bloom-ultra-lounge-drink-menu

Couldn't ask for more for our anniversary night out. They're up-leveling the menu in early April, but it's already so tasty! Had the waygu sliders, lobster-sweet corn fritters, shrimp skewers, and flourless chocolate torte. All superb! Next menu will be more locally inspired. It sounds great, but I'd go now before it changes as well, so you won't miss out on current offerings.

It was not. I've been ordering that martini for 27 years. After much discussion, the waitress agreed to bring me three olives. She did not want to take the drink back. We ordered the shrimp skewers and the corn and lobster balls. The shrimp was criminally overdone, basically seafood jerky. Neither my wife nor I could even taste the lobster in the balls, much less see any actual lobster meat in them. Lots and lots of corn, though. Very disappointing experience. The view was amazing, but for the price we paid, the service and food were substandard.

Actually don't be rude and condescending. I'm sorry you're having a bad day. Perhaps a job where you're not front facing would be a better fit. I have zero room for places that treat their customers so poorly. When I have to come to you for my drinks because there is no service be kind. Not kinda an arsehole. I'm a joy and a delight and i tip extremely well. 0/100 based on waitstaff alone.

I came around 4:30 and caught happy hour (got a $3 beer) and a bowl of the Tokki chashu ramen. My total including tax and tip was like $30? Very reasonable. And there was a 3 person live music group with two guitarists and a violinist who started playing around 6p, they were very talented! My waitress was also sweet and helpful. I did not have a res but they had plenty of tables when I came @4:30ish, only a few were reserved. By the time I left around 6:30ish, a good number of folks were eating. They have very dark but clean bathrooms too! Of note - this place is deep inside a combo shopping center/apt complex; the map was confusing. Just park near the shops, and follow the map about a 2-3 minute walk "into" the apartment part, you'll find the place. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Overall, this spot is a vibe! I would def come back if craving ramen and wanting to hear live music, it was awesome they had that.

You may bring your own cigars, and buy a good cocktail from the many offered in the menu. I asked for, and was given a different glass for my Manhattan, and the drink was great! I would love to see a humidor, walk in preferably, even a small one; with a better selection of cigars. Also, there is an urgent need for an update to the hours of operation after waiting out in the snow in two separate occasions for the place to open, just to find out the hours of operation started on the website and other online sources was wrong.
