Drive down South Tejon and look for the neon blue star that rises just above 1645, and you've found – Blue Star. Step inside for a choice of two dining experiences. An upscale bar and casual café provides light fare, and a trendy, well-lighted fine dining room features a changing menu weekly.

Traditional New Mexican cuisine and a relaxed and colorful ambience make this a Colorado Springs favorite. Blue corn tortillas, chiles, black beans, and posole accompany most entrees, but if you prefer yellow corn tortillas and pinto beans, those are available as well. The chile verde is truly excellent.

DOWNTOWN. Located in the historic Alamo Building and famous for some of the "best martinis in town," Mackenzie's serves up some great steak options, too. The room is sharp in appearance with wood and stone walls, yet comfortable with plenty of soft lighting. As well as a night spot, it's also a great place for a business lunch.

DOWNTOWN. SItuated in the historic Cheyenne Building, this popular spot is yet another great option for those looking for brewhouse hangouts in the Springs. It is also one of the most popular restaurants in the city and is credited for contributing to the downtown revitalization. You can sit anywhere and benefit from the huge windows that afford great views of the mountains and downtown. It's usually busy, which means noise, but if you are visiting a place like this, you'll probably be making some noise of your own as well. The second floor is devoted to pool, with twelve tournament style billiard tables, a jukebox, another bar, and great views. Have fun!

DOWNTOWN. Although The Ritz is one heck of a nightspot in which to hang out, socialize and hear good music from a very impressive house sound system, their food (especially the sandwiches) is worth mentioning as well. Locals love the bar, which is the center point of the room.
