Swirl

I went for happy hour with some friends and while it didn’t blow me away, it was a fun environment. The happy hour prices are great! The ladies who were working definitely didn’t go out of their way to be friendly or attentive, which is the only reason I’m not giving 5 stars.

A very nice little restaurant in Manitou Springs. Nice atmosphere and choices on the menu. We really enjoyed it.

We wandered in as we were checking out the town in search of live music. We just missed the live music but decided to have a beverage while we were there. This place, to me, came across as a bar version of a coffee shop and we loved it. The bartender was funny, informative about the town, and we really enjoyed her time. I tried the Axe and Oak Incline Rye Whisky...and it was awesome. I highly recommend trying this if spirit if you like Ryes!

The food is flavorful and unique (worth the trip by itself!), the wine selection varied and interesting and lovely, and the staff is even more of a draw than the cuisine! (Funny story: I was in the middle of leaving this 5-star review, got distracted, and left the restaurant without my phone. Realized it an hour later, went back, and my boyfriend, who ran in to get it, was immediately recognized and given the phone. So now I can finish my review.) I need to make this a regular weekly stop - love this place!

Very friendly and knowledgeable bar tender. Not a lot of beer options but they do have a fantastic cocktail menu. We had the gin/pomegranate & the snowflake. Very Good!!

We didn't sample but they do make their own ginger beer and we heard good things about it while in town.
