Cedars Jazz Club Colorado Springs
(just north of Fillmore &
I-25) (719) 578-5744 Here's ten reasons Cedars Jazz Club is a cool place to
hang: 1) Cedars' cushy leather sofas. Once you plop yourself down,
you'll
never want to leave 2) There's a nice little dance floor; when you
boogie, you won't be dodgin' tables 3) The bartender is really nice 4)
Did I mention the cushy leather sofas? 5) There's lots of art hanging all
over the place 6) It has big smoking and non-smoking sections 7) There's
no cover charge 8) The owner supports live music and other artistic
endeavors 9) It's still a cool (relatively) undiscovered place 10) The
cushy leather sofas Directions:
Sinton is a north-south service road to I-25. It is just east of the
entrance ramp to I-25 on Fillmore. Take Sinton North as it winds past

Jimbo's Bike and Coffee 2212 Academy Place (719)
574-9005 Great
non-smoking venue where people really tune into the music. There’s no beer,
but you can order great English fish and chips and BBQ from a restaurant

smoking. Directions: On the corner of Tejon and Cache LaPoudre, just south of Colorado
College.
Ravens Nest 330 North Institute (719)
632-3433 No smoking. By far the
smallest venue we play, but also one of the friendliest. This local
neighborhood coffee shop is easy to find on the corner of Boulder and N.
Institute. No real food, but the muffins, pastry, coffees and teas are
fabulous. (PS-- I think Paul serves the best latte in town. Check it
out.)
Laura Belle's 734 North 19th (719)
630-7600 Just west of Uintah King Soopers.
A great old west side Colorado Springs bar full of local character and
history. Named for the grand old dame of west side brothels, the bar keeps
the spirits alive. Smoking, drinking, pool, live music all have a home
here.
