Step into The Golden Bee and be transported to a traditional English pub, right in the heart of Colorado Springs. This isn't just a themed restaurant; it's an authentic 19th-century pub that was carefully relocated to The Broadmoor resort in 1961. The pub's interior, complete with hand-carved African mahogany, a pressed metal ceiling, and gaslight-era fixtures, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere reminiscent of a classic British gathering place. The Golden Bee offers a gastropub menu featuring hearty favorites like fish and chips, shepherd's pie, and a classic Reuben sandwich. Pair your meal with a British beer or a half-yard of ale for a truly immersive experience.
