Went in for an after-dinner drink and got pulled into a full Star Wars takeover, complete with Han Solo frozen in carbonite on the door, a Mos Eisley Cantina bar setup, and Star Wars shows playing in the background. The theme changes every 3-4 months, so what you see now won't be there forever. Reservations are usually required and we got lucky thanks to a local host who knew someone. Worth planning ahead. Drinks come from the in-house "Cantina" and lean into the theme without feeling gimmicky. Food runs off the menu from the Wobbly Olive, the main bar hidden behind a door in the same spot, and it held up. The Outer Rim Provisions menu had solid options. The biggest surprise was the noise level. You'd expect a themed cocktail bar to be loud, but you could actually hold a conversation. Our server was on point, brought drinks fast, and even remembered the names of the people we were with. Go for a date night or anytime you want a low-key cocktail experience with serious attention to detail. Make a reservation. Peek into the Wobbly Olive on your way out.

The creativity that goes into each one of their themes that rotates quarterly-ish, is so impressive! They even had an old book for guests to sign that looked like it could've belonged in the Lord of the Ring movies. The drink I got was a spinoff of an old-fashioned, which I love, but it was really just an old-fashioned. I couldn't taste the difference, but it was a great old-fashioned! :-)

However, the last time I went there (in 2024), we had a young man who was very rude serving us. He did not bring our drinks to us until one of us had to go ask him for our order! It seemed as though he may have been resentful, as our drinks were mediocre to bad - tasted like no alcohol - with hardly any volume...yet our bill - for only three drinks - was outlandishly high!! I was so disappointed and, frankly, embarrassed for District Elleven. How I wish I could have some kind of reassurance that this kind of thing would not happen again, so I would be moved to go back...the ambience gave me the best vibe being there, and that is an accomplishment in itself. A++ for ambience (and previously, also for drinks and food from next door); but now, F for service and drinks - so sad.

I had the Violet Lady cocktail because the bartender said it would probably be the most floral - and it WAS very floral, just how I like my cocktails! I sat at the bar which was actually very spacious, and they had lots of other booths and some tables. Bathrooms also very clean. They do actually have a fairly extensive menu online, and QR codes at the bar. Here's the URL: https://bloomultralounge.com/colorado-springs-downtown-bloom-ultra-lounge-drink-menu

Also a great way to try a bunch of cocktails. $5! What a steal! Our server was really nice and the drinks came out pretty quick along with our food.

So obviously they weren't battered correctly. But if you don't count the food, this place is pretty good!

When we moved to Colorado Springs, Wobbly Olive quickly became one of our favorite places. We…read morevisited one of the two locations almost weekly or every other week. It genuinely had that "Cheers" feeling -- the bartenders knew you, regulars became friends, and it was somewhere we looked forward to going for drinks and dinner after a long workday. Sadly, over the last month, we've watched that experience completely change. One by one, many of the bartenders and servers who made the experience special disappeared. Some left and others were apparently let go. As guests, we obviously don't know what happens behind the scenes, but when so many of the people who created the atmosphere and consistency you loved are suddenly gone, you notice. What has been most disappointing is that it hasn't just been a change in staff -- the quality and consistency of the drinks have noticeably declined as well. Wobbly Olive was a place we went specifically because we could count on getting a really good cocktail. Recently, that simply hasn't been our experience. Our last visit really confirmed it for us. A drink I had ordered there many times before was made so poorly and incorrectly that it barely resembled the same cocktail. When you're a regular who has sat at the bar countless times and watched these drinks being made, the difference is very noticeable. Also observed the Bartender messing with money in the register and not following proper procedures to clean hands and going back straight to managing ice blocks for future drinks. We paid our bill, left, and went somewhere else. I even watched a supervisor test the drink quality and passed. That was probably the most disappointing part -- realizing how quickly a place we genuinely loved had changed. I hate writing this because we have some wonderful memories at Wobbly Olive and truly want to see them do well. But from a guest's perspective, when you lose experienced bartenders and servers, you don't just lose familiar faces. You can lose the relationships, atmosphere, consistency, and quality that made people choose your establishment over somewhere else. For us, those things were exactly why we kept coming back. Sadly, right now, it just doesn't feel like the Wobbly Olive we loved.

The bathroom was clean which was highly appreciated and they were quick to provide toilet paper when I told them they were out. The dj played the music really loud when we were singing karaoke, so we couldn't hear the singer. When I went up to sing I asked her to turn it down so I could hear myself and she got an attitude. Before karaoke began the dj would put a good song on and then cut it off and put a lame song on and patrons would sit down. She was not reading the room at all. I don't think I will go back there.
