Lazy Susan’s, a new cocktail lounge located in eastern Colorado Springs, opened its doors in October 2023, taking over the space previously occupied by Batch Slapped Brewery. Founded by the same owners as Bloom Ultra Lounge downtown, Lazy Susan’s aims to bring craft cocktails to the east side of town, providing an alternative for those who prefer not to travel downtown during the week.
As you enter Lazy Susan’s, the ambiance shifts to one of chic sophistication, complete with pink velvet seats, brown leather couches, and decor that includes emerald green and gold accents. String lights drape across the ceiling, creating a cozy atmosphere enhanced by dark walls. The lounge is designed to be inviting and comfortable, featuring couches, board games, and a fireplace, which co-owner Susan Gates affectionately describes as a place for patrons to unwind and "be lazy."
The bar serves an array of cocktails and wines on tap, utilizing the existing draft system from its predecessor. This setup allows for efficient service of popular drinks like the Boozy Susie—a refreshing mix of vodka, St. Germain, strawberry, watermelon, lemon, and topped with prosecco—and the Bee Sting, which includes a buzz button flower that enhances the tasting experience.
Gates expresses a commitment to providing excellent customer service, aiming to create a space where patrons feel welcomed. Following its opening, Lazy Susan’s has hosted various events including girls’ nights and workshops, and has plans to introduce weekly activities such as karaoke and live music.
The lounge’s approachable vibe is underlined by its menu, which also includes a selection of small bites like artichoke dip and buffalo chicken dip—perfect for enjoying alongside a drink. Gates emphasizes that the goal is for everyone to leave feeling like a friend.
