Discover more about Golden Bee

The Golden Bee is more than just a restaurant; it's a portal to another time and place. Originally a pub in London during the 1800s, the entire structure was carefully dismantled and shipped across the Atlantic, eventually finding its home at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. Stepping inside is like entering a warm embrace. The pub boasts original fixtures, including hand-carved African mahogany, a pressed metal ceiling, and gaslight-era lighting. Some of the armchairs even hail from an old British schooner, adding to the nautical charm. Etched glass windows and English prints complete the authentic pub atmosphere. The Golden Bee offers a hearty gastropub menu featuring classic British fare and American favorites. Guests can enjoy everything from fish and chips and shepherd's pie to burgers and sandwiches. The bar boasts an extensive selection of British beers, including the novelty of ordering a 'yard' of ale. The Golden Bee is known for its lively atmosphere. Live piano music fills the air nightly, culminating in a rousing sing-along of modern classics, with songbooks provided. Adding to the fun, patrons are often surprised with a small, fuzzy 'bee' that servers throw, which sticks to their clothing.
