We have been going here several times a year for years but will not return. On the second to last visit, they gave us the worst seating possible: a quick table thrown next to the piano with so little room that we ended up putting our drinks on the floor to have space. Thinking that this was the exception, we... More

Fun place to have a few beers. They have glass tubes a yard long that they fill with beer and you drink from! They rest in their own wooden cradle that sits on the floor. They also have half size versions. So, they make having some beer interesting and fun. I was there 20+ years ago and we had a... More

This was a pub with some panache. It was ornately decorated and we were decorated with bee stickers throughout the evening. As we continued our travels after visiting The Bee everyone who saw us said, "Hey! You went to The Bee, didn't you?!" Lots of friendly folks here. We struck up a conversation with fellow guests and chatted for part... More

Pub with good beer selection, good pub food (fish and chips, pot pie, bangers and mash, and so on), cordial and timely service. Cup of cheddar and basket of crackers a nice touch if you're there just for a beverage or before your meal arrives. Sing-a-long piano at 8:30 every night. More

We have had several good experiences here - good pub food, good service and nice surroundings. It is nicer inside than most pubs in England and the menu is just fine for what it is. The staff work hard to give everyone an enjoyable experience in this very comfortable showplace of a bar. Great range of beers and reasonable pricing... More

I've read a couple of reviews about not being able to sit at the bar...we waited for about 45 minutes to be seated and the bar was full the whole time. Maybe this has changed. The Golden Bee is on the property of the 5 star Broadmoor hotel. Don't expect cheap. It is a wonderful little pub brought over from... More

The Golden Bee is a unique experience. If it is not what you are wanting then you will be sorely disappointed. The drinks are very expensive and you cannot order from the bar. If you want a sing along with the bar pianist then you are in good company. Everyone is drunkenly singing along with their song books. Do not... More

From time to time I visit Colorado Springs solely for the purpose of lunching at the Golden Bee. While it is known as a great bar scene; don't miss the excellent lunches! We skipped the libations and simply ordered lunches. I had a cup of their excellent cheddar soup and a half sandwich (ham and cheese)--excellent!! Others ordered the fish... More
