We drove down to the downtown strip called “Tejon street” where most of the action is in Colorado Springs. Very historic meets deco area of town. Has a small town feel, but has lots of stuff going on.

Bourbon Street at Rumbay
20 North Tejon St, Colorado Springs • 719-634-3522
We ventured into the infamous “club of all clubs” and “Hottest dance club in town”, or so many of the locals state. Eight clubs in one, this fantastic mix of rooms suites most attendees desires, though Liz was disappointed there was no C&W for her. There’s the Red Martini, Rumbay, Fat City, the Patio, Masquerade, Copycats, Wildcats, and Sam’s Smallest Bar. I’m not sure what the name is of every bar we ventured into - but it was really cool. $5 and you’re in Bourbon Street and venturing in and out of each room with different flavors and people. Liz was in the mood for Jazz and Blues since there was no C&W, but was disappointed nothing was going on in the Jazz lounge - only some guy snoozin’ on the couch and a few people lingering around the bars. We hung out for awhile in the large hiphop room (Wildcats?) which was rockin’ (even though I hate hiphop) and the central floor had a balcony area with large-backed chairs with waterfalls circling the room. We sunk our feet into the sand floor of the beach room, which had net-hammock hairs with drink holders, and a hula-hooping cute girl on the bar who was the bartender as well as entertainment. Good music in that room. Then we spent most of the night in “Masquerade” where they were playing Disco and Eighties … Wishing they had more alternative 80’s, but I was satisfied with the room. Liz was bored, so we headed across the street to get some Irish in …. Rated 4 1/2 stars out of 5. Visited 10/27/2005.
