    Looking for a bar with arcade games and pool in north eastern Colorado Springs? The Control Room is the place to be! They have games ranging from old school Pump (similar to DDR), basketball, air hockey, Pac Man, Galliga, pool, etc. all of which are in working order so that's awesome since a lot of bars with arcade games I have been to have seen some abuse and it shows. They also have an impressive drink menu and all the cocktails we ordered were made deliciously. I highly recommend the Long Island Ice Tea. Last but not least, our server was very personable and a delight. Thanks everyone at The Control Room!

    Surprisingly killer food--a mac and cheese burger?? Yes, please. The music can be super aggravating and loud (it's a touch tunes, not their fault) but the games are super fun and the food is really, really good.

    On top of their shit customer service, they could also stand to repaint their parking lines.

    Just left and what a lack luster experience for my first time at The Control Room. Not greeted upon entering, sat at the bar with no one behind the counter. Two - three minutes go by and a bartender finally appears and tells me she will be right with me. She then proceeds to talk to two patrons at the end of the bar for another several minutes while myself and one other couple who arrived the same time as myself - none of us had been helped. I gathered my things and walked out. No protest or apology from any staff. What a shit experience.

    We went for the arcade, and it was very fun. All the machines worked and most of them were $.50 to play which is awesome. We didn't get to try the food, but next time we will. The ambience is super fun, we went in the daytime with kids. After 8 PM kids are not allowed.

    The place is nice and the service is good. I just wish they maintained their games a little better. You can still play games start a quarter then it goes up. I think we pay up to $2.00 for some games but, there is enough variety for everyone to enjoy.

    Great food. Great drinks; try the dreamsicle frozen beverage. Most of the games work (95%+). I usually go when they're slow, which is nice.

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! :-)

The owner spends a lot of time and money to make this establishment both Fun and Safe. On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays it is the place to be if you like Country. There are two separate bars and dance bars inside. One is Modern Country and the other is Real Country. You can try either the same night. I am older so I like "The Real Country Bar. The food is made right there. They've got everything from a huge BBQ area on the Patio, where you can watch your order being grilled and assembled. The food is really good and cheap for a bar this size. The owner showed me the Kitchen a few months ago that had been totally rebuilt. It is spotless!

The door lady only accepts cash instead of helping the next person in line she sits there, waits, and gossips until they get cash out of the ATM which is why the line moves in incredibly slow. ATM fee is another $4 btw. Notably people were very upset that they have gotten rid of their military discount so that the military can't get in for free. So, it's really annoying to me the way that the entire time I was there the security just kept going in and out to the parking lot to smoke weed and take shots literally not 10 feet from the line literally rubbing it in our faces they were having a better time. Was annoying. Everyone who worked there Saturday had a it sucks to sucks attitude. The big thing for me is that I was under the impression that this was a country themed bar because that's obviously how it's marketed however, they just played trap music the entire time I was there. I swear on my life there was no country music. Also, they allow underage people in of course they mark them so they don't serve them alcohol but it's just not my scene as someone who is in their mid 20s. I don't want some 18 year old asking me to twerk on him while I wait ten years for a drink. Won't be returning.

I have to admit that the ambience is really cool; you walk down into a basement to enter the restaurant, which used to be the city morgue, and while that's a little bit creepy, it gives the space a dark, velvety vibe that I think some people would really like. However, for a higher-end establishment, I found the service to be kind of spotty and not quite up to par. My biggest disappointment was the food, as we ordered two entrées to share and found both to be rather disappointing and honestly kind of bad, which was especially frustrating given how expensive they were. While it might have just been the specific dishes we chose, the combination of high prices, underwhelming food, and inconsistent service means I likely won't be back, even if the unique atmosphere was interesting to see once.
