    Default Colorado Springs eats

    Looks like I might be spending the night in Colorado Springs soon.

    Looking for a decent brew pub type restaurant for cold beer and some food.

    Recommendations?

    Thanks.

    I'm not the guy to recommend bars, but if you have some time for lunch, check out King's Chef.

    Go to the location on Costilla, not Bijou. I literally walked out of the King's Chef location on Bijou last time I was there. I've only walked out of anything maybe once or twice before in my life.

    Phantom Canyon is a good place for both beer and food.
    https://phantomcanyon.com/

    Their cheese soup is one of the things I miss having moved away from The Springs.

    For just beer, Red Leg was always my favorite brewery in town. https://redlegbrewing.com/ At their old location they used to have food trucks there all the time (some very good) ... dunno about now (the new location opened after I left).

    Found the food truck schedule: Tonight looks like Honduran food.

    Has a wait time, and isn't the cheapest but the food is worth it.

    Do you want to stay close to where you are staying?

    Redleg is pretty good.
    Phantom Canyon is good for food, but beers have always been just so-so.
    FH off Powers has decent beer, and a good permanent food truck.
    Nano108 is across Powers. Often there is a food truck there as well.
    Cerberus has a good reputation, I've never found it to be that great though.
    Lost Friend is developing a great rep.
    Deuces Wild and Storybook all have good liquid offerings. Not sure about the potential food availability at either anymore though.

    Ok, I'll leave my wheelhouse. Up North? Back East Bar and Grill.

    The Public House at The Alexander is a very good choice.

    If you're willing to venture outside of the brewpub theme, Pig Latin Cocina is a great place.

    Abby's Irish Pub is a bit further east but a solid contender
