Odyssey Gastropub

After the new place across the street told us we needed a reservation to sit at the bar (!!!) we hightailed it across the street to Odyssey. Did we catch the tail end of HH? You bet we did. Every single employee we encountered greeted us warmly and made us feel welcome. In all honesty, we’ve been coming to Odyssey since it opened, and we love it. Awesome, creative menu. Handcrafted cocktails. Amazing beer selection. This place just ticks all the boxes. Does my husband miss the bacon sampler on the menu? Indeed. But until it returns we dig the mojo fish tacos. The vibe of this place is so warm and happy. Please keep up the great work!

Pictured is the stuffed mushrooms, odyssey burger, cheesecake & the Korean pork ribs. 10/10 so good.... the atmosphere is so cute and rustic

I work across the street (at another restaurant). I come here for the quick and efficient service. The food is great. The bacon jam burger is a go-to. The pork wings are incredible. Pub potatoes rock my world. Drink selection is off the charts.

Walked in for a date night was seated very close to a table of four loud men, when there was plenty of room to spread people out. This is in the middle of the week so not very busy at all. Waitress came to us two seconds after we sat to take our drink order. We didn’t have time to look over the beer menu so asked for more time. She then takes another drink order and brings their drink order to our table. We said we haven’t order drinks she says oh waters right and runs off. Comes back with water we didn’t order, takes our drink order. Ordering is fine, but we waited for drink refills for a little longer than normal. Okay no big deal, then when done eating I asked for a box and waited for 20 mins till I walked up to ask for one. She delivered the box I had her the card and she takes my card and check to a different table. I am a server and there was a total of 12 people in the whole place. Seems like she didn’t know what she was doing. I give tons of grace to servers but mistaking tables not once but twice and with someone else’s debit card isn’t okay.

We came in last night and Tracy the bartender was amazing! It was busy and she managed to always make time for us. Food was great and atmosphere as well. We were greeted promptly at the door and sat right away. The drunken onion burger is a must have!

We got a $200 flavored experience for $63 plus tip! Three drinks, two appetizers, and an entre. This place should be packed all the time. I give this restaurant my highest rating for the price. Great food in Colorado Springs does not have to cost a lot. Bravo!

Incredible food, service, and atmosphere. We will definitely be back many times. Today Kaitland was an awesome server. The Pork Green Chile is one of the best we've ever tried in CO. We all had burgers, and asked for caramelized onions, and mushrooms on them. The burgers were 10 out of 10. The Green Chile Fries were the best fries we've ever had. If you haven't tried this place yet then go give them a try. They also give military discount if you ask.

Didn't eat or drink. Couldn't even get a glass of wate. Not one person served us. Didn't even say hello. No one at the host station. Sign said wait to be seated but no one came to sit us. We proceeded to the at the bar on Valentine's with my date. The place was pretty empty so it's not like no one saw us. Two women talking to each other right in front of us. Another walked by and started washing glasses. Two women behind the bar kept talking. Theu were actually facing us and leaning on the back side of the bar. No acknowledgement. The one washing dishes stopped and then joint the conversation with the other two women. Still, no one said hello, just kept talking. Then, they stopped talking. Thought we would get service. Nope, they just walked away . So we got up and walked out. No one said a word. We are repeat customers, but not any more. The last few times we've been in the sercice has been awful. Not worth the drive and pay for parking anymore. On Valentine's Day we ended up back home and made something to eat. Thanks Odyssey, I'm pissed.

One of my favorite spots to visit while downtown! The crispy Brussels are a must. I have tried them any place I see them on the menu and Odyssey is the best. They also come with a generous serving so it can easy be shared between four people if you want (or perfect for one or two if you're hungry). I had the drunken noodles with chicken as my entree. You pay extra for the chicken and I felt like I had a generous amount.

We came early one day and it so happened that happy hour was going. Our friend who brought us ordered the brussel sprouts with bacon (not happy hour but delicious), loaded fries, and wings. The beer list was great and the bar drinks were well made. We liked all the food we tried and found it to be above average. Good food Good service Good happy hour Overall: we would come back anytime to try the rest of the menu!

Atmosphere for a Tuesday night was oddly a bit louder than I'd expect but calmed down midway through our visit. The food and drinks were delicious! Our server was great, and I was OVERJOYED as a new mom to see a changing table in the restroom! You'd be surprised how many restaurants don't have them

We did a few appetizers, green chili, mushroom wantons, mayak eggs and pork belly bites and we liked them all. From the front reception, to our server and other staff they were all friendly. The place was packed and it was loud inside.

We really enjoyed Saturday morning brunch here! The menu is really interesting with delicious options for people who are adventurous and not so adventurous. My husband and our friends each ordered drinks and seemed to really enjoy them. One of them got an espresso martini, one got a caramel coffee drink and my husband got a Pioneer Bloody Mary which had hamburger spices in it and he chose the spicy pickle vodka option and thought it was delicious and fun. My husband thought his crab cake eggs benedict was really good (and I loved his crispy potatoes). I got the chicken and waffles which was a stretch for me with all the unique flavors but I LOVED it and ate every bite. The flavors went together so well and I loved the little waffles. The service was good- not amazing like everyone has previously said, and it's not a place you can linger long. It's a loud place, even at brunch, but it's fun and cool with super good food and drinks- I'm so glad we tried it and I want to go back.

Excellent gastropub in downtown Colorado Springs. The menu had a nice variety of items. Our table of four started with Brussel Sprouts and buffalo wings to share. For mains my friends ordered a burger, Korean chicken sandwich, and Spinach Orzo salad. I had the Kale Caesar. Every dish was excellent. Our server was amazing. Not only did she take great care of us with prompt service and refills, but she gave us plenty of recommendations for local attractions. Highly recommend.

Odyssey is always an amazing spot to grab some food. The beer list is excellent, they have spirits of all kinds to keep you happy, and the food is spirited and delicious. They don't leave good enough alone, they improve and create amazing dishes and change it up from time to time. (Only odd off item is the floors there can be slippery due to whatever they may be waxed with, footwear oddly can matter as fun soles shoes are like walking on ice)

I was in town on business and my colleagues and I decided to check out Odyssey Gastropub in Downtown Colorado Springs for dinner, as recommended by one of our local business partners. It was easy to find the location but we did walk a couple blocks from where we parked. There are metered parking around the downtown area so make sure to snag the first open space you see. Upon entering Odyssey, we were greeted by a young lady who sat us down across from the bar. The interior was cozy with a welcoming atmosphere. The decor had upside-down lamps, which I had never seen before. When it came down to order, my coworker and I decided to share an order of Last Wing Standing and Crispy Brussels as they were out of the Korean Pork Belly Bites that night. The crispy Brussel sprouts were delicious. For the chicken wings, we divided it with 2 flavors: Pineapple Teriyaki and Parm Garlic. The garlic parmesan wings were okay - A little tough. We did, however, enjoy the pineapple teriyaki wings and wished we ordered a full plate of that. The server checked in on us and was great. The only thing she didn't hear was that we wanted to pay on a single check; instead, she split the check between each person. No worried for us but I'm guessing that was just extra work on her part as we did ask to pay on one check. Overall, the food was great and the service was pleasant. I would come back and order the Brussel sprouts again with a side of their pineapple teriyaki wings. Yum!

Atmosphere and service were great! I can see why some people highly recommended this place for drinks & dinner. We opted in for their Pioneer Burger & Mac and Cheese. Both were delicious, I actually think I preferred Mac and Cheese a bit more than the burger. The pork belly that came with had an asian fusion vibe to it that just completed the dish. We honestly didn't read the menu carefully, so we had ordered it with some chicken but it is definitely filling without it!

We ventured to this restaurant on a recommendation from someone we were with for the day. Our server, Allison, took very good care of us. Checked in on us frequently. The cocktail list is decent. The names are all movie references. I thought that was a fun twist. The burgers two in our party had looked amazing! Apparently the " burger sauce" is killer. The ambiance was quirky and fun. Who doesn't like lamps hanging upside down from the ceiling?

Great local place. In downtown Colorado Springs. The food was delicious! The staff were super friendly

The service was polite but a little slow, and the atmosphere was comfortable but somewhat plain. It's not a bad spot, just not somewhere I'd go out of my way for. If you're nearby and hungry, it gets the job done.

Really great vibe. The staff is incredibly nice and personable. We loved chatting with them while we sat at the bar. Food was delicious, and they offer a large selection of craft beers. Would come back again!

Was our first visit. Food was tasty. Kaitlyn (sp?) took great care of us. Cool spot. Would go again. I had the bacon jam burger and my date had the pioneer burger. Shared pork belly bites. All very flavorful and well prepared.

Good hearty food, enthusiastic servers. We went on a weekday before 5 which I strongly recommend. It can get crazy in there! Had the wings (pricy but HUGE and perfectly cooked, fish and chips, and chicken and waffles. Good drinks too!

Odyssey is a great place to eat and drink. Odyssey holds a record that I never thought would be broken. This may be slightly different than a traditional review so skip over if you don't appreciate personal stories. When I was a young boy my mom would make us brussels sprouts and we couldn't leave the table until we finished them. They were disgusting. So disgusting that even my dog wouldn't eat them. I swore that once I was old enough to cook, I would never again eat brussels sprouts. I made them for other people but they would never touch my lips. That promise remained unbroken for decades. Unbroken until I went to Odyssey. You see, we were meeting a friend who had moved up here and recommended the place. I figured what the hell and tried their brussels sprouts. Damn son. These Brussels are amazing and have turned my hatred into love. Other than the sprouts, Odyssey has great service and a great beer selection. They also have a very good Cubano sandwich you should try. This is one of my favorite spots in Colorado Springs. If you find yourself in town for Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, or anything else, you should come here.

Excellent food! Service was great. Kitchen was slow on entre. Would definitely go back!

Great things happen in this place. The food is really good and you get nice portions. Happy hour offers economic rescue. The vibe from the employees and guests is overwhelmingly positive.

I came here for brunch Saturday morning and it was the build your own mimosas that I enjoyed most! You have a whole bottle of champagne with your choice of OJ or other juice. The food was pretty good, just not any vegan options and limited vegetarian options. I ordered the meatless omelet without cheese and it was very small. I got a side of fruit instead of potatoes and an English muffin (dry). I asked for jam and it was just the packets with high fructose corn syrup. The price wasn't bad for the portion but I just want that impressed with the food. Our server was very attentive and friendly. She was nice enough to split our check 3 ways! I feel like this is a good place and maybe brunch isn't the specialty.

Server was awesome! Kitchen was slow due to several large parties, but food was delicious!

Excellent food, service, and drinks. This was some of the best fish and chips I've ever had, especially in-land. And the chicken and waffles had redeemed the dish my mind. I love waffles, and after so many disappointing waffles in many dishes, this was awesome. The chicken was tender and juicy inside with a great crunch and spice. The waffle was perfectly crunchy and great texture despite additional ingredient inclusions, I'm a sucker for cornmeal waffles. The only down side to the dish was the jam that the waffles rest on makes them soggy, but the top remained crispy. Still the best chicken and waffles that i can remember.

Stopped in recently for a late lunch and it was unexpectedly busy. Nevermind tho- I was seated right away, and though very busy, my server ensured I was taken care of. Bacon jam burger was perfect and I just love their green chili. Ambiance is a little bit loud for my liking but I wont hesitate to go back.

We got a table right away but had to wait around 15 minutes for our server to come. She was apologetic but that pretty much explained the rest of the night. It took around 40 minutes for our food to come. The food itself was alright, pretty average. The Pioneer Burger was not bad and we got a side of pork green chili fries which fell short. The fries were okay but the pork green chili was a little bland, we've certainly had better. The salmon dish was okay. I did enjoy the cucumbers which taste more salty than sour but good with the salmon and rice. The rice itself was just average and it had some carrots and edamame throughout. The salmon was the best part of the dish but wasn't even that great. Waiting for our server to come back with our check took awhile again. Maybe they are not this slow every night but with the average food we definitely won't be going back. I did appreciate how apologetic the servers were but yea.

We went here for brunch, and it was amazing! We had mimosas and ordered breakfast tacos, and they were delicious!! The place was cute, and I love how the table tops were maps of roads across the US. We sat at the table with a map of El Paso, TX, and I just moved from there. We were meant to be at that place for brunch! (alright, alright). There's parking out front and plenty of room if you are going with a large party. I would go back, and it's one of my fav brunch spots. Check them out and add them to your list like I did!

Great little gastro pub with some good brew and a very satisfying menu . We opted to share our food so asked for half each of a skirt steak salad and the pork tacos . Our server was very accommodating and helpful . Food was excellent. The arugula skirt steak was perfectly dressed, lemony salty and worked well with the bitter arugula. Tacos were well balanced with a good meat to toppings ratio. So glad we found this place on our Colorado Springs exploration. Highly recommended

Deliciousness! We went for an early lunch and enjoyed amazing dishes. The service was excellent and lucky for us it was quiet there since we were way before the lunch rush.

What an amazingly wonderful surprise our visit was today. Our waiter Sonny recommended the Brussels sprouts and we ordered the shrimp scampi and dover sole. The flavors were so tasty and delicious that it made the meal so enjoyable. Our waiter was so knowledgeable, friendly and yet very professional. Did not expect to find such a gem. We will definitely be back soon.

We needed a bite to eat and a beer and decided to stop in for the first time at odyssey. Smaller place in one of the historic downtown springs buildings with a bar and a bunch of high-tops. Good beer selection, menu, and ended up with ordering the ahi appetizer which was excellent. The ponzu sauce had a little spice to it and you could tell that the wonton chips were made in house. It was so good that we ordered a second plate! Will be coming back to try some of their burgers and chili cheese fries.

My review is only regarding the cocktails, which were very very underwhelming. I may come back to try the food but definitely will check out other spots for cocktails. That said - this restaurant followed covid precautions very well. The tables were well spaced out and everyone was wearing masks.

Everything was so good here! Definitely recommend. Great burgers, Mac and cheese and steak. Good drinks as well.

Neighborhood vibe in downtown. Our server was great - friendly and efficient. The crispy brussels were delish. I would have been happy to just have a beer and those. Our friends both got the fish and chips. I didn't try them but they got positive reviews all around. I made the mistake of getting the tacos. They looked really good but had zero flavor - the fish was so over cooked, i would never have known what it was. My husband got the same thing and agreed they were terrible. He also got the street corn. It was served cold, which I guess was intentional but not a fan. Will give Odyssey another try if only to have more of those brussels (yep, they were that good)

Ok, now I came to this place with very little expectations. When I saw that one of the most popular dishes was chicken and waffles, I thought " Eh, might as well, how bad can you screw up friend chicken and waffles" But after having the first bite, I was like ! Now mind you, this may not appeal to everyone, but it definitely was unique to say the least. The friend chicken was awesome, the waffles was cooked perfectly and fit perfectly with the berries that it came with. The most unique part surprising was the syrup. This is not your traditional syrup. It had a Smokey taste. Don't write it off before you try it! It fit the flavor profile so well, I can't imagine having any other chicken and waffle dish match up. The perfect blend of sweet, savory, and even Smokey flavoring. I'm contemplating going back once before I leave Colorado Springs. Give it a shot, you may or may not like it, but I can bet you haven't tried chicken and waffles like this!

4.5 stars. And a shout-out to Jordan, our server, who was one of the best servers I've had the chance of meeting! When we called ahead, they said they only take walk-ins. We went, put our name on the list and were told it'll take 20 mins or so. Exactly 20 mins later, I got a call saying our table was ready. The decor is a chic bar/restaurant like. The tables have maps of different states imprinted in the food which is super cool! We ordered the restaurant week meal and a side of fried pickles and half portion of the mac and cheese to go with it. For drinks we got a rum based cocktail, the raspberry blonde local beer and a ginger beer. The food was good but huge portions. From the restaurant week menu, we got the crispy brussels, bulgogi bowl and the bacon brownie. The brussels were a little salty or bland at times. The bulgogi bowl was delicious! Go slow with the hot sauce they give though. I poured the whole thing and it was just the right kind of spicy fore, but not for my friend, lol!! The bowl is strips of marinated steak with carrots, peppers, greens, beans, almonds and it's just so yummy!! The bacon brownie is topped with vanilla ice cream and is really a shared portion. There are bacon crystals in the brownie itself, so it was different flavor and you either like or you don't. We liked it. The fried pickles were ok. I've had some better ones elsewhere. The mac and cheese half portion was also huge! It was cheesy and tasty, but definitely not something we could've finished in one sitting. The chicken added on top was not as plain or dry as I expected but I'd have still liked some more condiments in there. We all liked our drinks and I am grateful to Jordan for making a good Moscow mule when I requested it. All in all great place, great service and we shall be back for a weekend brunch soon!

Stopped by for lunch before heading out of town. Really friendly staff. I ordered the Bahn Mi sandwich which was really good. However I upgraded to the fried brussel sprouts and they were to die for. I stopped by without a reservation and due to COVID the seating was limited. Had to sit outside in order to be seated immediately. I recommend getting reservations to avoid having to wait.

Ended up loving our drinks here so much that we forgot to take any photos haha! But the ambiance is great, including some kick-ass music they play. Our bartender by the name of Marge is absolutely fabulous & super friendly in general, would come back just for more conversations with her! We only ended up getting drinks here & happened to come during their happy hour, enjoyed 4 whiskeys for $15 & definitely will be coming back for more happy hours here in the future. Some of the cheaper drinks in the immediate area & can't go wrong with their outdoor seating, if you can come in time to snatch it up!

Classic sports bar and restaurant in downtown springs Stopped by while looking for lunch walking around downtown Colorado Springs. We did not have a reservation at noon on a Saturday but there was plenty of seating both inside and outside. The wait staff sat us promptly and a waiter came by and took our order quickly. I ordered a breakfast burrito with country gravy and my partner ordered a steak Caesar salad. The flavor of each dish was pretty good, but not amazing. We paid about $40 between the two of us which is a bit higher than expected for the dishes, but it was fine.

My friends and I were in town for a convention and thought this was a fun place to eat. The drinks were delicious and the server was very knowledgeable about their menu and made great recommendations. I got the Cuban and don't regret it at all. One of my friends had a burger on lettuce instead of a bun. The restaurant made this accommodation without hesitation. We did giggle at a typo that's on the table menu but I would not use that against this place. Definitely would come back here again next time I'm in town.

Great cuisine and drinks, with even better service. I was rather pleased. Take a look at their happy hour and deals!

The place is a little gem right in the heart of downtown Colorado Springs! We started off with the bacon sampler which I heard was phenomenal!! (I don't eat pork anymore, but the smell almost got me to convert back to my old ways) I ordered the Brussel Sprouts w/ Salmon. I had NO complaints!! The ONLY thing that could've made it better was if they had a bourbon glaze to drench the salmon with. I did however try the street corn and I will go ahead and tell you to save your coins/disappoint. First of all, the street corn was cold... the flavor was ok.. just do yourself a favor and order the fries. I helped my friend eat hers (because I'm a good person, lol) My friend said her chicken sandwich was just ok.. Honestly, I would've gthem 4 stars but the service was very questionable/understaffed (front of the house) the food didn't take long and the food was ) Just don't go here if you are in a time crunch because you might find yourself in a bit of a pickle! Besides that the happy hour prices were pretty good, food was good.

Been wanting to try this spot for a while and finally got it on the schedule. Glad we did! Odyssey is on a busy part of Tejon just north of Acacia park but parking during brunch on Sunday was pretty easy. We started with breakfast shots of tequila and a smoky maple syrup followed by a Bloody Mary. All the drinks were really good. Before lunch we ordered the breakfast chili cheese waffle fries and they weee really good but the eggs on top were way over done. I asked for runny yokes but that's a small error, the fries weee still really good. We followed that up with the Odyssey burger and pork belly Cuban sandwich. Both are worth coming back for, but there is so much to try on our next visit.

Cute place with unique decor. The steak salad was pretty tasty. The service was excellent!

Wonderful experience here. Great atmosphere, music playing but not to loud and normal conversation noise levels. The bartenders were attentive for the occasion and the food was delicious My girlfriend had steak and eggs and I had eggs bacons and the corn tortillas. Lots of great food choices I don't think you can go wrong with. Highly recommend checking out

I haven't been to Odyssey for a minute and I probably won't be back. The food is pricey for what it is. Not bad but not great. Very middle of the road. But the drinks were jokes. $14 dollars for a cocktail that was only half full, in a low ball, with a giant ice cube. I can't imagine there was quite 2 ounces in the glass that was supposed to have 2 spirits and mix. My friend's drink tasted like mostly sour mix and my other friend had weird coconut shavings floating on top of her very non coconut drink. Looked like floating mozzarella cheese. The service was fine, our waitress was pleasant and friendly. But this place's heyday has come and gone.

Got the Brussels, the bacon sampler and the Banh Mi egg rolls. Brussels we're a little over cooked but good flavor. The bacon sampler was awesome- pork belly is my fav and the jalapeño is really good. The banh mi is good, but a little lightly packed on Ingredients. The three sauces that comes with it are really good though! Even better if you like spice. Two cocktails that we've tried weren't great. The moon hate pants, is god awful. Sent it back. The Patrick turnt up is uneventful and plain. Got the gnocchi- over cooked and very mushy a soft, decent flavor. Spicy chicken and pickle sand which is a very large piece of chicken, bot very spicy and not much flavor. Overall unimpressed. Cute atmosphere, decent food, but not worth returning to.

Service was good. The chicken wings are a good app. Plump and juicy with great flavor. Now the 3 fish tacos are what we call a sampler taco 4" shell. There was only one piece of grilled fish about one ounce mostly filler. For the cost of $13 very poor value.

Good food, creative menu, friendly service, nice people! Huge beer selection and knowledge staff. I've been back a few times and every time have a good experience. If you don't get good service you're probably doing something wrong. It's nice to have this kind of restaurant in Colorado Springs! Makes living here much better!

This place was hustling and bustling when we came in! Had pretty high expectations due to the high reviews and how busy they were. I was craving macaroni and cheese, so I decided to order that dish with green chili and pork. My fiance ordered the chicken and waffles which he enjoyed! I also thought the mac and cheese was pretty decent. The only thing was that somehow our table was mixed with another so my fiance's chicken and waffle was supposed to be for another table, and they almost gave my mac and cheese to that table instead so I had to correct her. Other than that, pretty tasty place for brunch!

Excellent. All three of our meals were fantastic. Chicken and Waffles were excellent. Fish and chips were excellent. I hade the Odyssey. One of the best burgers I have eaten.

The food was good. The tacos were a little salty from the feta cheese but the flavor was there. The chicken sandwich was perfect. The brownie was to die for. The server was on top of everything. Went on a sunday afternoon and the vibe was nice. Cute brunch spot.
