The majority of these stars come from the service.We dined at The Golden Bee on June 19th at around 3pm so the pub was almost completely empty, which we liked. The waiters (we arrived during a shift change) were super attentive and even found a set of readers for my mother to be able to read the menu. If you want a preview of the type of service you would get at the main hotel, the pub is a great preview. The food however…I am not sure if the menu is from the 1800’s or if it is just supposed to mimic the kind of pub food you would have had back when the Broadmoor was new, but the taste was quite dated. Nothing we ordered was particularly great and some of our food was just straight up bad (I had a burnt catfish fillet). And for the price, you expect to be wowed. However, the manager did replace the catfish and our drinks were strong so overall we had a good time. And if you are a history buff, the decor is a fun trip back. I especially loved the restroom wallpaper and tile.
A trip to Colorado Springs is not complete without visiting the famous Golden Bee Pub at the Broadmoor Hotel. This is a fun spot for dinner and drinks. It is quite busy, thus reservations are recommended. A pianist plays from a list of popular songs that patrons are encouraged to sing along. The wait staff will through little stick bees on you, which is part of the tradition. The food is a bit pricey, especially give the smaller portions.
Special Restaurant with delicious food!We had lunch at the Golden Bee on a Saturday afternoon and what a treat!First, they have a very fun tradition with bees, wait for it! Then they put down a tasty cheese spread with crackers which we all enjoyed.I split a hamburger with my daughter, they brought it out, perfectly cooked, on 2 plates with enough crispy fries for the 2 of us. It was one of the best burgers I've had in a long tine! My parents got the French Onion Soup with they both said was delicious. The cheese and onions were flavorful.We appreciated the old-school, English club ambiance with the art and decor.Make sure to get reservations! It is pricey but this restaurant is worth it!

Almost forgot if you eat or drink here they give you a little embroidered golden bee that you can stick on your shirt or hat! Nice
Black and Tans or half and half for 10 a pint. Prices cover the authentic interiors brought over from a London pub. Bar itself is carved everywhere. Very nice top deck with umbrellas.
I'm sure the locals know this place but it was our first time. Lots of good fun here. Old style pub type of restaurant great food and great servers. Everyone was friendly and attentive to our table. If you are there at 9pm they have a sing along. We had the bangers and mash, chicken pot pie stuffed with lots of chicken and beef short ribs that were very tender. It is a bit pricey but its worth it. We had a blast you will too!
We stopped by here because it’s a must-do while in Colorado Springs. We wanted to get one of the bees they throw and try out their menu. The atmosphere was really cool. Their food was tasty and nicely presented. The staff was courteous and very helpful.Of note… they have gluten free options and also prepare fried foods in separate oils for those with shellfish allergies.
Very limited menu and overpriced for what is offered. Service was good and atmosphere was nice. Would not recommend however due to the above factors.
The Golden Bee is always a good time! We came on a Friday right around the start of the song along and had a great time once again! The food is good, not amazing. The staff is awesome. The piano is also great and sing along time is always fun.Looking for a good time or a full yard of beer? Come to the Golden Bee at the Broadmoor!
