Colorado: The Golden Bee Buzzes!

bee

Its no secret that the Williams family enjoys a delicious beverage maybe a wee bit more than the average crew. So, it should come as no surprise that our all-time favorite place to go when visiting Colorado Springs is The Golden Bee…a pub!

Its an old English-style place underground on the campus of The Broadmoor hotel, one of the most famous hotels in the United States. I’ve been coming The Bee since I was about 7 years old, eating mouth-watering cheese spread and an array of crackers on every visit.

If you’re ever in town, you MUST go visit. Even if you’re not a “drinker”, you’ll love the atmosphere, the food, the cheese spread, and the sticky bee you get every time you sit down! Love that place!

Jonathan got double bees on this visit…I almost had to throw down with our waitress! Hehehehe:IMG_7554

Amanda and her non-beer (lame). A random kid who’s mom wanted a pic with him and Jonathan’s yard of beer:IMG_7555 IMG_7556

Can you see the intensity on Jonathan’s face as he makes sure B doesn’t topple his treasured ale??

All finished (mine was just a 1/2 yard)!

She’s so fun…the whole staff loved her (and remembered her the next 2 times we went that week!):IMG_7561

Sleepin’ on trip number 2 to the Bee:

This is another favorite of mine from the whole trip!IMG_7572

We went right after we picked up Cory from the airport, but I didn’t have a charged camera. Yada, yada, yada…beer and cheese spread. You get the idea :).

Our final trip came after I picked the boys up from a freezing game of disc golf. All of them were wet, cold, and miserable…so we drank our cares away at the Bee! Where else?!

After beer (random guy got in their picture so his wife could take his pic with a yard…silliness!):IMG_7701

I am in love with that place. Miss you, Bee!

  1. I almost busted out in "Ricolaaaaaaa...." when I saw the pic of Jonathan drinking his yard of beer. Cheers, good buddy!

  2. Looks like you guys had a great time on your colorado trip. I'm so sorry to read about all the baby stuff flying down the interstate. Ugh, I would be so upset. I will have to check out the "B" on our next visit to Colorado. Looks right up my alley :)!
