Review The Chicken Coop - Colorado Springs

Very cool place! This is my first time visiting, it's so laid back and welcoming. We were greeted by an adorable "bar dog". No, not the local drunk, an actual dog that was sweet and made the place very endearing. The decorations have a kitchy local feel like you're relaxing in your own living room. There was a local band playing 80s and 90s hits and really made the night fun. There are 2 pool tables and darts inside. Outside is a nice seating area with horseshoes and cornhole for some light competitive entertainment. It doesn't get more home-y than this, you gotta check it out for yourself.

Josh is from Mars. Zach? No idea. Cailey? She's from Young Einstein. Everyone else? No idea, Matt Podschweit is the keyboard player from The Sofa Killers who I worked with at USA Volleyball. Welcome to MY life, ya'll.

Awesome bar with a down-to-earth ambiance. The bartenders are cool and friendly, the patrons aren't too rowdy, and drinks aren't expensive.

The crowd was phenomenol! So many couples dancing and enjoying the music! Such a good vibe and new connections were made! We have a whole new branch to the JLB family tree!!!

This place looks so weird from the outside, but it's actually really great once you step inside. Owner and bartenders are super cool and inviting. And this place serves Tully!!!

Great local bar. Darts, Pool and even a huge chess board. Our group had a good time.

I truly love how community-oriented the Chicken Coop is and the camaraderie among their patrons. Shout out to Sherri the owner, who has a heart for the community which blends into her establishment. She has a fantastic staff that is driven to provide an outstanding environment for all. Fantastic location and energy, pool tables, live music, and great bar and people. I highly recommend others to check out the Chicken Coop and show some love to Sherri and her staff. Let's go 🤙!

I have been a Black Forest resident for a little over 5 years. The Chicken Coup, sits on Black Forest Road, so I have driven by this place hundreds of times without ever stopping in to see what’s going on inside. I’m glad I took the time to see what the place is like. The outside is pretty unique with it’s low slung angles. I was amazed by the size of the interior. The manager told me the place was packed at the grand opening with over 200 people! The inside reveals a rich history that dates back to the 1950’s. Log walls with chinking, a rock fireplace no longer in operation because of insurance reasons, dance floor, pool tables, beautiful huge wooden teak bench, and bar with a wood top that looks like it has a few war stories to tell. It was daytime so I sat up at the bar, ordered a cup of coffee and started up a conversation with a friendly guy sitting next to me named named Art (a.k.a. Chicken Man). I was really glad there wasn’t too much going on at the time (they were setting up for a baby shower with 50-60 guests coming) because Art can tell you the back stories about hundreds of items all around the bar, including the fireplace, the teak bench, and a little white box sitting up high that hold a set of false teeth. You will have to ask someone what’s behind that story, but it’s a good one and a little bit unsettling. Thank goodness alcohol kills germs is all I have to say. Anyway, if you do wind up taking the time to swing by “The Coup” for a drink, a cup of coffee, or to see the manager to ask about 60 of your closest friends getting together for a baby shower in a bar, I think you will be pleasantly surprised. If you’re lucky, you will bump into the Chicken Man. My advice, sit at the bar and listen to him tell a story or two. You will be glad you did.

I work here so of course I'd give it five stars,but even if didn't it'd still get this review. Come in and check us out, we'll give you that friendly service only a small town bar could. Good friends, good company, and a clucking good time!

Absolutely blown away by how community-oriented the chicken coop is and the camaraderie among their patrons. Fantastic location and energy, pool tables, live music, and great bar and people!! Highly recommend!

Great bar in Black Forest. It's a great place to hang out with friends and the owners treat you like family. Bar tenders are friendly and provide quick service. Food trucks are excellent.

Decent place A little pricey but, it's Black Forest. Dog friendly

Great atmosphere and drinks. You can order pizza from the shop next door and they'll deliver it to the coop which was super convenient. Bartenders are super nice

A really nice, cozy very friendly bar. It's so nice to be greet'd by the people sitting in the bar. Friendly like neighbors.

Always love it here! Nicole is the best bartender ever! And it's always a great time....great bands, great atmosphere!

Love, love, love this place! The staff is amazing! Always a great time at the Coop!

I have a blast every single time I come here. The staff is friendly and they know how to have fun. Love when they have live music & food trucks.

Love this place!! Amazing staff! Band was incredible! We drive almost an hour an to check this place out and we absolutely will be returning! Thanks guys!

Love the Coop..have been in many bars watching my husbands band play and this bar is the friendliest, down to earth, just be yourself place I've been to in a very long time! Owner is the best.

Best "dive bar!" Bartenders were awesome, fun and super-friendly! Great service. We went specifically for a band that I found as I was in search of live music for the weekend. We were not disappointed by this out of the way, hole in the wall little gem! Seriously felt like we had completely left the Springs. A much-needed weekend night Escape. We will be back!

Nice place with live music! Wish they had more food options but, beer is cold! !

Great staff, decent prices. Nice sized dance floor! I love it when my favorite band, the Sofakillers, are playing there!

The Chicken Coop is a great little bar in Black Forest, excellent bands, people and lots of fun. It has come a long way from the previous bar that was there. If you have not been since it became the Coop - you are missing out. Fun people, great atmosphere and a great time!

What a fun, friendly social place. Had a great time. The bartenders, and all the staff are very attentive and friendly. Congratulations to Sherri and Art (The Chicken Man).

Staff was awesome! We had 110 bikes stop there for a run and they were friendly and got everyone served in a timely manner, with smiles �

Always an awesome atmosphere great ownership and great bartenders. Always a upbeat fun atmosphere and welcoming! You can know no one and by the time you leave have great new friends

I love the Chicken Coop, Art and Shari have done a wonderful job to make everybody feel at home and like family. Not to mention Nicole and Josh behind the bar - it's just become one of my favorite hangouts!

Can't wait to hear one of my favorite bands The Sofa Killers on Saturday night
