The person that works the door will charge people more if she doesnt like you. My friends and I had to pay her $30 to get in last night for the NYE celebration, when every single person before and after us only paid $20. Everyone else I asked after that told me that they either got in for free or they only paid $20 to get in the door because she thought they were cute. Someone that shouldnt be working the front door, makes me wonder if shes pocketing all that extra money. Thats not professional or good for business!!!
The door lady is always so sweet, she always makes our night better after waiting in line forever and then dealing with the rude, smileless, pushy security guards. This place is great to go to on Thursdays because it is ladies night and it is always busy. Every Friday this place is empty and just wack and there are no drink specials, so I only reccomend coming on a Saturday or Thursday. Ive been going to this club for years now and unfortunately it is the best hip hop club in Colorado Springs. Count on bad additude bartenders (excepting a rare few), disgusting bathrooms, and sticky floors.
This is my favorite clubs in the Springs, it has the closest atmosphere to like a Denver club, especially on busy nights. Like the light effects, the smoke, and the dance floor upstairs!! I dont usually get drinks here, I pre-game so I am unsure about drink prices but my boyfriend will usually go get a beer at Cowboys or the Red Martini instead to save a few dollars.
I came from out of state and I am very respectful when it comes to tipping the bartender. Last night the bar tender gave him self a bigger tip of 20 bucks after I already tipped 10 bucks. So total he got 30 bucks and when I confronted him because I get notifications to phone he told me I should just leave the club. I am very disappointed and I will not be returning
On the inside its a fairly average club. The biggest thing we noticed was that the bartenders at the bar were the most uninvolved and unmotivated individuals Ive ever seen in all my days. They would avoid eye contact and stand away from the bar in order to not have to serve you. This guy and gal must not have made there income from tips.
Great drinks. Great atmosphere. Good service, and the bouncers are chill dudes and not jerks like at all the other clubs in downtown CO springs. Went on a Thursday night not expecting it to be lit but it was. Couldn’t imagine how great it would be on a Weekend night. Highly recommend. BEST CLUB IN THE SPRINGS.
Ive had the best bartender ever for a while and she used to be the VIP girl witch you should switch back to T.J is absolutely amazing
Not a fan of this club and won’t be returning in the near future. Music was good but that’s about if. The crown is crazy and was trying to fight all over. Not sure why the line took 30 mins when it wasn’t busy yet. Drinks are well over priced and not strong at all. The staff didn’t seem to love their job and it showed.
I have so many people that drive from Denver to Colorado Springs every weekend to turn up at club mention we will be out there tonight I love this club We also love the bottle service great music and great entertainment
Let me tell you a story. I flew in from MN for a wedding to be with my girlfriend’s friends for a special day. Wedding was awesome. Afterparty? Not so great.Went to the Mansion and girlfriend’s ID was taken. They make you give them your ID to get in if you don’t have the cash to pay for the cover. Girlfriend went straight to the ATM provided inside (after they took her ID) to get cash. Went back to front counter to pay after taking cash out. Girl at the front lost girlfriend’s ID while she was at the ATM. Girl at front accused girlfriend of stealing money from the cash register, even though this isn’t event physically possible as she was standing in the corner the entire time. Same girl lost girlfriend’s ID behind her wall (management - Douche bag in gray jacket) had to literally deconstruct the wall to find her ID behind the wall. We’re talking drills, screws, etc. guess what? Found her ID in the dry wall. Our party... not at fault.What happened next? They kicked us out for causing a distribution after we paid $30 for a cover and girlfriend needed to find her ID to fly home the next day. The “disruption” we caused was 100% caused by their employees. We wasted 45min on a wedding night at this dump. Do NOT go here. They do not value their customers. Their venue is great but their staff is absolute trash.MP
Older blondie bartender yelled at me. Because I didn’t hear him when he asked what I want! Super rude and disrespectful.
I lost my Id here about 2 weeks ago, I was wondering if they had some type of lost and found to where I may be able to get it back ?
Wish I could rate with zero stars! Gentlemen watch out here! They often allow under aged girls to come here and drink! That beautiful young girl you meet here could be as young as 16! I’m sure any other establishment would be a better choice then here. This is a breeding ground for people trafficking with minors! BE AWARE!
Never worth the cover :( Cool idea, but it’s always underpacked because of the Cover. Decent music but super over priced drinks. Tons of places close by worth your business without a cover. Good luck
Terrible!!! Theres this bald bartender who is heavy set and he was trying to overcharge me for 2 drinks. I told him that I didnt have enough and just get the 1 drink. He got mad and threw the money at me and said dont come back. I laughed in his face and told him hes overcharging to throw extra cash in his pocket and I caught him!! Fix your lives mansion. Dont come here! Not worth it!
I can only give honest reviews because lies are something I truly hate.. I just moved to Colorado Springs about 2 months ago and asked a few friends from CS which club would myself and my wife enjoy. Mansion was a place where they mentioned so last night we decided to go. Upon arrival I approached the bouncer and asked him what was dress code and he immediately looked at me with a funny look and said Well first off your not getting in with your pants like that.. The thing that surprised me was that I had already been into a few surrounding locations with no problems. This old, no swag, wannabe top flight security guard was so judgmental it was crazy.. Needless to say I stepped back and watched a few other patrons approaching which just so happened to be 2 females and 1 guy, both females had dresses that showed just about every crack an crevice of their big boned body and the guy with his skinny jeans aka leggings and boxers hanging out like part of his outfit get in with no problem it was epic I then noticed that it was about me the guy didnt like me wow!! The sad part was I was taking out my wife to celebrate Veterans Day and this flunky weekend security put a damper on our night.. Way to treat your Veterans.. To put the icing on the cake he wouldnt let us speak with management because he knew he was in the wrong.. Man you guys have to do better especially with security because he cant buss a grape in a fruit fight!!
Iove ashely great bartender
They have been playing the same old songs since 2011 crappy dj a bunch of drama on the dance floor really ghetto, definitely not going back! Not to mention bartenders give terrible service and are super slow
Seems to be either totally dead or super packed, hardly any in between.When busy, youll barely be able to move and shoulder bumped by every dude in the place.Although the separate rooms with different music types can be really cool, when this place is busy, it is very forgettable as a nightlife option.Although I was told by 3 UCCS ladies that when they need a hookup they like this place because its a meat market. But they even admitted they hardly go here...It is interesting to visit after a name change... The Mansion, Rumbay, etc. they hardly revamp the decor, but it still feels new. Until some dude starts telling you how tough they are, then its back to realizing some people never change.Most bartenders are super nice and helpful, but the door workers are rarely the same. Just be quiet, pay or dont pay your money, show your real or fake ID, and get past them quick.
The bouncers and the police were strategically together they’re best friends and they all do drugs the cops are on steroids the bouncers are on cocaine it’s just a despicable place this is nothing like the rules of the United States the cops are so dirty in Colorado Springs it’s disgusting when they work with the owner of places like this to get away with what they do on the side. I wouldn’t be surprise of this club is part of a human trafficking scam like Blondies
The place is good to go only once every 6 months. The music is always the same, the musical genres vary, there are different types of music that make a crowd dance, bachata, trap, but it is always the same The soil is sticky, they do not clean it. Also the second floor, always the same music. And what happens is that this disco is in the center where almost always one must find the best.
They definitely are doing illegal stuff. I was DD on a Friday night, friend paid my cover though so I bought her a drink. Two days later, my bank statement read that I tipped on my card but I only tip in cash (servers unite). I always cross a line through the tip line or write cash tip. So far no response from the owner.
This place is alright the security staff is trashe very disrespectful. They closed the bar at 2am and waited for a Lyft across the street the staff came and they came across the street and wanting to start a fight they pushed me on the floor for no reason trying to kick us out we were waiting for a ride.
Love the Mansion on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays only because my best friend and most favorite person in the world DJs there, DJ Gu! Love him the most! He is the best DJ out here and plays the best music hands down! Check him out promise you wont be disappointed.
If I could give this place a 0 I would. This place has no standards. As well as the waitress being completely rude. I was told her name was Tracy but Im not completely sure thats accurate. Tonight she was wearing a black tank top with a red flannel. We ordered our drinks and she completely ignored us. Ive never been to a bar that was so disrespectful. My husband and I travel around the country every 4 years. If you ever come to the springs. PLEASE DO NOT COME HERE! Its a complete waste.
So I dont even go out like that. Yesterday was the first since I moved here. I get to the door so the security could check my I.d. Im from our of state so I have a out of state I.d. I give it to them and they try and call it fake. What security for a NIGHT CLUB doesnt have a LED flashlight so they came check a I.d. properly. So I gave him my Colorado one. Then he continued to just be plain rude with me at the door. Insecurities treat you like your inmates. And anyone whos trying to run a good business should know your customer makes or breaks your business. Then I went upstairs to get a drink I asked for a white gummy bear she gave me something green I tried to explain to her thats not a white gummy bear I been here in Colorado Springs for a while now and have them all over for a while and I never seen it green she gave me attitude and slam my money back on that bar top. So I went downstairs to order a drink they were free down stairs the bartender was really nice he was a male so the money that I was willing to pay up stairs I gave to him as a tip. Moral of the story is that you did it and got here someone cant respect you and youre trying to give them business dont go.
It was the WORST first experience I have ever encountered!!! They didnt have enough bartenders so for the ladies Night which free drinks from 10-12 SUCKED! I had 4 VERY SMALL DRINKS! NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO THERE!!!! The door people were letting certain people go in and not wait in line. Seriously by far the WORST Place to go! How is it a Ladies Night when you have women dancing!!! Where was all the good looking men?? I definitely WILL NOT refer my out of town friends or in town friends to that place!!!! Want to have fun? GO TO COPPERHEAD!!!!
I love the inside of this club. It reminds me of the upscale large clubs in LA or NY in little ole Colorado Springs. Go go dancers and all!
Dirty, crowded, trashy. The bartenders make pretty mediocre, overpriced drinks. And make sure if they are doing a special that you ask which bar is doing it. We went for ladies night, girls drink free, and ordered some drinks only to find out that only one bar out of the three or four does the special, so we paid $11 for four bad long islands.
Not a bad experience after it was remodeled years ago. Then again...the last time I went there was 2011.
Not a club you want to be in. The manager Bryan Cortez extorts his workers and his customers for drugs. He sleeps with half his staff while asking them or customers for drugs and will have them fired or will falsely accuse patrons to the CSPD force if they dont give him drugs. This has been going on for years and Sam Guadagnoli will do nothing about it. Managers and CSPD have seen this man and others on drugs and CSPD allows him to stand and chat on their squad cars in front of the club. The military are allowed to commit many acts of violence or sexual assaults on females at the club but they will allow them to do this as its said to be ok because thats where 90% of there money comes from. Sam Guadagnoli and CSPD need to adress this before both of them have a lawsuit thats sure to come.
The bouncers are fair and helpful, (in my experiences), like when I lost my ID. The other club goers I seem to encounter are usually friendly, Ive never had any issues with anyone. The Mansion is a grand space and can get pretty packed. However, it seems that if youve gone once, youve gone a million times. Also, as a local of Colorado Springs, they could do a few things better... like fix the leaky roof or run a mop every now and then! The floors are always sticky, even when they first open! But I always have a good time!
Love the upstairs!! Had an amazing time there. Good crowd, well priced drinks, coat check available and cover is only $5 before 11pm. Make sure ti bring cash for the cover and coat check.
Very very understaffed. One lady serving 4 VIP tables for bottle service. Crowd was nice, had a great time but probably wouldnt go there again.
On July 26th 2018, they turned on some kind of Gas inside and no one could breathe we had to step outside for ten minutes. After like half an hour my girl friend, my brother and I were harassed and pushed outside for no reason. They took away our drinks they said that time was over but it was 1:10am and they don’t close till 2:00am. We were injured and very mistreated for reasons that I can’t really comprehend. It’s a terrible place in the springs.
They ruined my 21st birthday party! Dont go here. I booked my party through GroupToast. Nobody ever told me that there was an event so if I wouldnt have called, I would have never known. I called the manager to see what they could do. Answered once and never returned my calls. I called GroupToast and they said they would call me back with some options. Never called me back. Horrible experience. They ruined my 21st birthday. Maybe its okay as a club but dont have your birthday here.
The manager sucks asss that little guy with the brown hair that is called “manager” doesn’t know anything about customer service I’m paying you to have a good time it’s not for free!!!!! you can’t come and yell at people and not be nice that’s your job homie! Don’t go downtown don’t go to blondies, mansion, gasoline alley and red martini WORK ON YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!! Support small business people!!!!
Terrible. Walking by the outside saw 5-6 fights among patrons as they exited. Rowdy crowds all around. Very dangerous. There is a reason 4 cop cars park right in front. Should be closed immediately. Bad for city and tourism.
Bar tender would not serve African Americans very rude racist staff!! BB will be hearing from me and every African American I know in Colorado springs will be told what bigots you are military also.
Do NOT use a debit or credit card here. I tipped in cash, like physically handed it to the bartender, and wrote cash in the tip line. Bartender decided to add an additional 20% to the 40% tip I left in cash. They commit fraud here.
Best place to party and hang out in town
I am updating my review. After calling the mansion about the crazy over charge on my credit card (31 dollars more than my tab) I was advised the do a pre-authorization of 50 then release the remaining funds. It would have been nice to know in advance though.
Everyone is nice it’s a great place I go every Thursday definitely the night club outta all of them....
I dont go downtown very often and I normally dont have a problem going to the mansion. But I went Saturday night and I get the doorman need to check driver licenses but to seriously almost break my damn I.d is ridiculous. You dont bend them, trying to break them to make sure they are real. Seriously ridiculous. You need better people! Everyone inside was great though.
The security guards will watch you between the cracks of the stall
Hip hop mix, depending on the D.J.s upstairs they have a cool old school lighted dance floor, they used to have karaoke upstairs but not my last two visits. Its nice to go VIP on a packed night with bottle service.
Security staff is very aggressive. Not worth your time.
Security here is a joke and will harass anyone. Ive spent well over 10k on bottle service and get treated like a punk by security. Go to Denver if you want to have fun and a club that actually knows how to treat vip.
This place has gone downhill 100 mph... n someway some how it keeps finding new depths... the ppl that go here are kids, like immature, disrespectful kids, have to be honest, unless u enjoy rat houses, u shud def go check it out n ull have ur answer, bcuz this review cant def cover the reality in here.
The Bar/Club itself wasnt bad. Good music & lots of space. The reason I gave 2 Stars was simply because a bartender named Anthony. He was extremely rude after he thought I did not tip him at the end of the night. This involved yelling Bars Closed directly in our direction and making obvious hand gestures. I then wake up to see that he added an additional tip onto our tab. Luckily I have my original copy of my receipt as proof. Real Petty complaint but all an all ruined a fun experience. Id say watch out incase they try to take advantage of those they feel are drunk.
The bouncers were way out of line. They were letting certain people in and when it was our turn they didnt let us in and didnt tell us why. We were coherent and not drunk! We had 1 drink prior at gasoline alley. Just because my friend tripped they thought we were all drunk. At that he goes an yells out to the other bouncers around the other bars to not let us in. We felt attacked and there was no need for the bouncer to put his hand on my friends face.
Oh my God I absolutely love this place so much! this is the best best best best best club I have ever been to in my entire life!!!!… The DJ there on the weekends is absolutely so amazing!!! I danced my butt off!!!!! Dj Gu I love u!!!! I recommend this place to everyone of all different walks of life… The most beautiful women!...the most beautiful men!!!... yay! Definitely my favorite place for sure. I have been going to this place since I moved here in 2000! I highly recommend this place to everyone great prices great fun great music great Dj great people
My brother went to the nightclub tonight with two other Caucasian guys and himself (Latino).There was a heavy white guy as security and let his two friends in that were cacausian. BUT my brother wasnt let in. We are in 2018 people are we still PREJUDICE/RACIST??!!!ALSO the last time I was there one of the security guards wanted to take my drunk girl home to his place. I said to screw off and I guarantee you hes still working there. SHADY ass people there no wonder there are low ratings here and excuse my language. Horrible place and very disappointed.
Came in last night with my retired air force vet uncle and after paying cover and buying two drinks. Bouncers approach us and tell me that my chinos shorts that sit 3 to 4 inches above my knee were to baggy and we needed to leave immediately he was in shock as was I why the f did you let me in if it wasnt ok to wear screw this place dont spend a dime here. There military support is about to drop off hard! Hope they get shut down for some dumb stuff!
I dont know where the mansion hired the new security team. They must have been prison guards before because they treat you like a inmate not a paying customer who is actually a asset to their business.
This club is the bias club I’ve ever seen so I just literally got kicked out for sagging but this lady was in there with her ass all out dancing man this club should be banned I understand that he warned me N I’ve been tryna keep em up but he caught me at ah bad time ..my belt is loose is what I told him but he refuse to listen ..so I asked him is okay if I talk to the manager he said okay cause I understand that he was just doing what he was told ...but I talk to the guy an told like hey man I found out my dad just found out he had cancer an I’m just tryna drink the pain away I understand he warned me but he caught me at ah bad time ...but he refuse to let me back in..so i high recommend never going here ever ...because the securityguard don’t care about you at all....they literally let in The Who they want and choose who they want to stay in I bet if I was a white man saying that they would’ve gave me ah second chance because the black guy let me talk to him on some respectful stuff but as soon as the I talked to the white guy he told me to get out
One of the worst wana be clubs in Springs. Pertencious bouncers who wont let college kids in because the colors of their shirts - wear MOM JEANS or dont get in and OMG dont wear a sports team... not that anyone would wana go here. The guy at the door smells like old seafood and thinks he owns the place (always the sane guy - skinny glasses) .... dirty place and rude people... go to Denver its worth the hotel room.
The security is a joke. Wouldnt waste my money their ever again. Got kicked out cause my pants were to low. Dj plays nothing but 90s. Head security is a joke. Place is a disaster. Even head security. Save your money. Place is booooof
Great place to go dancing or just relax at a table or bar!
It wasnt bad... Just the bar crew must have forged my receipt for my tab. I was charged $25.60 when I specifically wrote $20.00 for two drinks for an already over priced entry fee. Im from Denver and this was like club robbery... Even the clubs in Denver have some cover on drink or entry. Probably wont go back byyyyyyye
You guys suck. Just because a Mexican has an old hundred dollar bill doesnt make it fake. You threw him out earlier today you racist asshats because your 25 year old dumb ass bartender is dumb as f***. The guy makes your annual salary in a month.
Watch out for ur credit cards because the bartenders put their own tips on the receipt.
Cant beat this crowd,atmosphere and definitely music.
Very similar to Blondies, just a huge place. A little trashy, but a good time if youre in the mood for that.
Great place to socialize and they always play good music
I love going dancing and meeting new people
Bouncer was totally absent and then was playing the blame game with the other employees on whose fault It was no one carded us. Then he was very rude patting us down and not remotely friendly. Complete waste of $5.
I had a great experience here at a meeting!
Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else.
The worst experience for a nightclub. My friend and I were followed the whole night by drunk males asking for our numbers. They cut us off at one drink..but thereally was people WAY too drunk to even walk. My friend got humped and then her face licked by one guy there...just stay away.
Just not my jam. I am sure if loud clubs are your thing, you will enjoy this.
Nice club great music on both floors but violence kinda kills the mood
Worst bar Ive been to period. Security was kicking people way before 2. I get there with my friends security says we cant bring a bandanna in ( non gang affiliated). Say we have to take it back the car so we do. When we get back they arent letting people in. I talk my way in and then there is an inside bouncer that doesnt let us in. It was some bullshit.
It’s about to be lit
Trash. Bartenders are a joke.
Meh
Its decent
So I come with our of town guest. Apparently there is new management who required that you pay with cash only. So we were turned away at the door. Went to an atm and was turned around again because of a bad attitude due to the lack of communication from management staff.
Great place for a Thursday night
Worst club lve been in. The staff is horrible, they are selective on who they let in.
Bouncers and security are ridiculous. Drinks are overpriced and weak. Stick with blondies!
Cool club
Fun place!
I love
Live entertainment and drinks are reasonable
Is this club 18+
Too dark
Awesome vibes and great entertainment
Nice place
$$$ Fun crowd
Depending on the night!
Awesome love the top floor
Drinks are a bit pricey
Fun and good variety
Kicked me out because I gave attitude the security said ...
It was ok. Nothing too special but it is packed!
