Our Favorite Spots in Town
FOOD RECS #1
COLORADO MOUNTAIN BREWERY
Finn worked here for 6 years with his best friends, his sister, his cousins… it was a huge part of his young adult life. The beer is great, and definitely try out the bison poppers and bison meatloaf wellington
FOOD RECS #3
THE MELTING POT
Mitch’s favorite place to eat! We go here for every anniversary, and tried to get free food the night we got engaged… it didn’t work.
FOOD RECS #2
CHILIS
One thing about Mitch and Finn… they love a gosh darn triple dipper.
FOOD RECS #4
RED GRAVY
If you’re staying downtown, this place has GREAT pasta - perfect spot for a date night!
FOOD RECS #5
PANINOS (ON 8TH STREET!)
Finn’s favorite spot for a sandwich! He used to go here with his family once a week when he was growing up.
FOOD RECS #6
AZTECA URBANO
Our favorite taco place downtown! If you’re staying at our recommended hotel, it’s right next door.
BAR RECS #1
ICONS
Finn’s been the GM here for over 2 years - it’s one of the things he’s most proud of! Drag, live music, great drinks, and SO much queer joy - if you aren’t able to make the after party, make sure you come say hi during your stay.
BAR RECS #2
DUBLIN HOUSE
Do you like your bars dark and sticky with cheap drinks and a varying quality of karaoke… we do. Our go to spot when Finn’s trying to get away from work.
FAV SPOTS #1
DALEZ KARDZ AND COMICS
When Mitch and Finn started dating, they got a pack of cards from here and Finn jokingly said “It’s a 1/2000 chance, but if you pull a Starlight Rare Pot of Prosperity from this pack we’ll probably get married one day”… and now that card is framed in our house and you’re on our wedding website. Buy us Pokemon cards.
FAV SPOTS #2
TINSLETOWN
Mitch and Finn’s absolute favorite thing to do on a date night is go to the movies, and it always has to be at Tinsletown (Finn is VERY particular about the chairs). We’ve seen just about every Marvel movie here, and one of our favorite memories is doing the “Barbenheimer” day with our friends.
TOURIST SPOTS #1
THE INCLINE
Early on dating, Finn was trying to impress Mitch by beating him up the incline. Mitch showed up in jeans with a large Rebel from Dutch Bros and HANDILY beat him up the stairs. Take your time and go before the sun is up, but it’s an INCREDIBLE experience.
TOURIST SPOTS #2
GARDEN OF THE GODS
A must see if it’s your first time in Colorado Springs!
TOURIST SPOTS #4
MANITOU SPRINGS
Such a fun city for a date - super eclectic and witchy! Stop by the penny arcade, get some craft ice cream, and come home with a bunch of kitschy knick-knacks
TOURIST SPOTS #3
SEVEN FALLS
Mitch has a great memory of going here with his family when he was younger. Incredible views!
