COLORADO SPRINGS — Time to grab the dancing boots and hat and get ready to two-step your weekends away or attend a concert from well-known or up-and-coming stars.
The famed Denver Grizzly Rose opened in 1989 and considers themselves one of the "last great honky tonks in the world", with over 40,000 feet of dancing, pool, and even a general store the Grizzly Rose will not expand its footprint in Colorado Springs.
On Monday, The Grizzly Rose, said, The Whiskey Rose, the latest expansion of the saloon and dance hall will be taking over the former Whiskey Baron Dance Hall & Saloon space at North Academy and Vickers Drive.
"The Grizzly Rose has a rich history of hosting the biggest names in country music including Garth Brooks, Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton, Brooks & Dunn, and Charlie Daniels—just to name a few," said Scott Durland, Owner of The Grizzly Rose. "Most recently we've welcomed Zach Top with a surprise visit by Billy Strings. We’re excited to bring this same atmosphere to Colorado Springs with The Whiskey Rose and can’t wait for our community to experience the energy, fun, and unparalleled live entertainment we’re known for."
The venue plans to be open from Wednesday - Sunday with opening night slated for March 6 with live music every Friday and Saturday.
Along with live country music, one would be able to practice their two-step as classes will be offered by staff. And, for the Denver venue fans, do not worry, the famed mechanical bull at The Grizzly Rose will soon have a twin in Colorado Springs.
