About This Place

Benny's Restaurant & Lounge in Colorado Springs is the quintessential neighborhood spot where comfort food meets spirited fun. Specializing in classic American bar and grill fare, Benny’s offers an irresistible menu anchored by their famous chicken wings—crispy, juicy, and available in bold Buffalo or smooth Bourbon sauces that perfectly balance heat and flavor. Whether you’re sinking your teeth into the smoky, spicy Bacon Jalapeño Burger or indulging in the hearty, savory Black and Bleu Burger, every bite bursts with bold, satisfying tastes that delight the senses.

The menu reads like a love letter to comfort food favorites with inventive twists: consider the Hatch Green Chili Fries that come loaded with zesty green chilies or the Smothered Burrito packed with tender beef or chicken and dressed in rich, flavorful sauces. The Shrimp Tacos offer a fresh, lively alternative bursting with coastal flair, while the Sloppy Burger Ever playfully combines nostalgic tastes with gourmet satisfaction. Food here is more than just fuel—it’s an experience of textures, aromas, and flavors that evoke warmth and good times.

Benny’s also shines behind the bar. Their Bloody Marys are famously robust and perfectly spiced, while classic cocktails like the Rum and Coke or Captain and Coke are poured with care, making each sip as enjoyable as the last. Couple that with a rotating selection of draft beers, including the crisp Shocktop, and you have an inviting spot to unwind after a busy day.

The ambiance at Benny’s is laid-back and authentically local, ideal for diners who appreciate a casual vibe with a splash of lively energy. From its welcoming lounge to the spacious outdoor seating area — a favorite for sunset watchers — the restaurant creates a community feel where everyone can relax, connect, and savor the moment. It’s no surprise that locals rave not only about the reliably delicious food but also the genuine friendliness of the staff and the vibrant, comfortable atmosphere.

As longtime patrons attest, Benny’s is a place where memories are made: whether cheering on your favorite team during Sunday football, enjoying live bands with ample room to dance, or just grabbing a late-night beer with friends. The combination of affordable prices, hearty servings, and a warm, inviting spirit makes Benny’s Restaurant & Lounge an essential stop for anyone seeking a truly satisfying dining and social experience in Colorado Springs.

    Never been sad here. Even when Jaime yelled at me for something none of us can remember.

    I have been to lots of local spots, and I love a good dive, and this is a very, very good dive. It was honestly hard to leave because the staff was friendly, the food was amazing, drinks were cheap, and the atmosphere was phenomenal. I’ll be back a lot.

    Delicious food, strong drinks, friendly service, and a spacious outdoor sitting area perfect for watching the sunset. It's a favorite among locals because it's not trendy or overpriced. Bands sound great and there's plenty of room to get your groove on.

    Absolutely love Benny's, we just moved away, but it was my favorite place for a late night beer or football on Sundays, food is cheap but don't let that fool you, it's amazing.
