The Fifty-Niner - Colorado Springs, Colorado

We love this place! Amazing drinks (I had a signature margarita. It was great…very crisp and not too sweet).

We had the meat and cheese board and a panini…also amazing. The server was super friendly and helpful. They have over 200 games from which to choose. Overall a great night. It’s a hidden gem and a great vibe. The other people there were also awesome. Definitely something to try if you’re in Old Colorado City.

We got there early, and there were just a few other couples. By 9:00, there were several groups and a few other couples. No one was too loud, and everyone was having a great time.

Such a nice atmosphere! Great place to grab dinner and drinks with friends and play some board games. There’s seriously so many to choose from.

We booked at table this past Saturday and had a nice time playing board games. There is a lot of selection there and all the games were in good condition. The drinks were reasonable priced. I knocked down some stars for the food- the grilled ham and cheese sandwich definitely not the best I've had. The bread was extremely hard and the sandwich itself was sickly sweet and so sticky. Sticky plus games isn't a good combo. The pickles are also super sweet so it doesnt help balance it out at all. We would be back to play games and drinks but head somewhere else for food!

The experience here was impressive. We loved our cocktails and wine. Adam and Genevieve were excellent at guiding us through the unique menu items. The charcuterie board was the best pairing and also had items paired with each other which was explained when it was served to us. We enjoyed our time and will be back for sure!

Eclectic place. We don't drink, so mostly visiting for a place to play games with friends. Good selection... something for everyone!

Food menu is limited. I recommend looking at options online before you go. Friends got panini which came with a personal/ small bucket of chips and bowl of a few slices of dill pickles. Price seemed fair and menu descriptions accurate.
The charcuterie boards, not so much. We ordered the combo meat with the cheese board. You get $2 off that way vs ordering separately, but I wonder if we would have more food to order separately? Both were to come with nuts, tomatoes, and artichokes. Would we have had double the amount if boards were separate? Meats were ok for the price, but cheeses, we got 2T of white cheddar, 2T of bleu cheese. Other cheese sticks had a decent portion. Walnuts were candied. Small bits of orange slices around board weren't that great, but hey, that's produce in the Rockies in winter, eh? That was the only fruit on the board, adding up to 1/4-1/2 an orange. Overall, the board was pretty, and stuff on it was yummy, but they should say how much you get outright I think.

Servers very attentive.
Radio music had some 70s songs in the mix. Nice for us "older" crowd folks.
Decor odd but fun... only mounted dragon heads in a restaurant I have ever seen.
Definitely recommend for a first date or anniversary when you just need to try a new, fun place.

Despite concerns on expected portion size for board, I definitely recommend this place!

This was SUCH a fun early afternoon date night. Drinks were a bit watery/sugary, but there were so many board game options that we just switched to beer/wine and it was great (the bathtub gin comes in an ACTUAL glass bathtub...!!).

Our only complaint was that the staff got veryyy overwhelmed when it got the slightest bit busy and even forgot that we had given them a card to try to close out.

And while we didn't get the charcuterie, soooo many people did and it looked phenomenal.

Had a blast! Adam spent time with us and has quite the story. The charcuterie was superb. They had gluten free options. I’m not a gamer, but it was really fun to see all of the gamers enjoying themselves. The vibe was great! Can’t wait to come back.

Nice atmosphere, drinks were solid. Food was OK. The waitress/bartender/chef was hustling to keep everyone in spirits and food. She could've used an extra set of hands to make the process flow.
Excellent selection of games, would've liked to see Cards Against Humanity but the selection was pretty good.
They are serious about the two hour window for your booking. The everything lady(who I cannot stress enough did an excellent job) very promptly and politely gave us last call and closed out our tab at 90 minutes. Which wasn't a problem.
The place was very clean, lighted well for game play,
To be fair, this was the Wednesday after Christmas so i don't think they expected much business.
Just an observation, to add to the speakeasy flavor, make up a secret game name and have speakeasy patrons ask if you have that game as their password to the speakeasy. It would make it more fun.
Overall a very enjoyable experience.
