Colorado Springs
This place is pretty cool if you don't mind smoke. 15C is one of the very few places in Colorado Springs where smoking is still permitted. Their specialties are martinis and cigars, but you can get almost anything else as well. The place is pretty small, with one section that does not allow smoking, but nothing to prevent the smoke from drifting in. There are a few flatscreens, but this place is mostly for chatting and drinking a before or after dinner cocktail. The music is usually pretty subdued, with rleaxed mellow music, Portishead being one of the bands that is played kind of regular over the sound system. As the place fills up, usually they dim the lights and work off of candles at the tables.
Overall, the bartenders and waitstaff, although few in number, are pretty quick about making sure you are taken care of. Most of the people who stop in work in the downtown office buildings, so mostly business attire, but the patrons vary. tattoo artists from the shop next door stop in quite often, after 7:00 p.m, and occasionally Olympic athletes, as the Olympic training center is based in Colorado Springs. My favorite night involved some of the women's Olympic volleyball team, and plenty of libations.
