One of our absolute favorite places to go for drinks and even food. The analog roll is amazing! Every dish we have had is so good. We love the cyberpunk asthetic. All the "operatives" are amazing!
Absolute favorite place here in the springs. The tofu bowl is an amazing value and absolutely delicious. I also love the Analog roll, and the lychee buck cocktail. Many of their menu items can be made gluten or dairy free, so it's awesome to be able to come here and known that everyone will be able to order something amazing! Their beer list is also good, and they have a cheaper option that's not bad! I always bring people from out of state here because it is by far the best restaurant downtown :)
Chiba Bar is hands-down one of my favorite spots in Colorado Springs. From the outside, it looks like a Japanese dive bar—if such a thing even exists—but step inside and you’re transported into a neon-soaked dream. Think glowing lights, disco vibes, and flashes of Japanese anime everywhere. The soundtrack is straight out of the ‘80s new wave era, setting the perfect retro-cool mood. You seat yourself, and while the place often feels a bit understaffed, the team runs with sharp efficiency. The cocktail menu is nothing short of divine—eclectic, inventive, and always surprising. The food bursts with bold, unexpected pairings that somehow just work. Honestly, the best move is to hand the reins over to the staff and let them guide you; they’ll put you on a ride of pure culinary delight. When you finally walk back out into the night, you leave lighter, happier. And really, what’s better than that?
This place is such a gem! We tried every appetizer and loved their dishes, especially the veggie tempura, edamame dip and the takoyaki. Service was excellent. Highly recommend for a group/sharing plates!
To put simply, Chiba bar is a well loved community bar that ensures quality and guest experience. Chiba bar is here for everyone, and it's always a pleasure to set foot into the establishment. The staff are all experienced and professional and hold a passion for what we all love in service and guest experience. Personal shout outs to Payden, Forest, John, Anastasio, Camille, kitchen staff, and the owner for always being such a welcoming hospital host. The best way to describe the food is Japanese street food, ranging from notable mentions of their delicious tempura battered onion ring miso soup, poke and salmon bowls, and other small bites you can nibble on. All food, beer, spirit, and cocktail pricing are competitive as well. Thanks, everyone, for being such wonderful, wholesome individuals and providing excellence to our community for many years to come. Cheers 🍻 5/28/25 Update: Still visiting as a loyal patron. Shout out to John D Terry himself for making, in my opinion, one of the best cocktails in a city. What's more impressive is the volume of the bar and the consistency of which the "Tom Cocktail" is made. Everything you want in a glass with herbatious, bright, and savory flavors. Cheers again!
