This bar, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, occupies a genuinely unique space—a historic former streetcar building that gives it serious character and charm. Streetcar 520 has carved out a solid reputation as a hip spot serving up New American fare with a focus on shared plates that are perfect for groups or couples looking to explore different flavors without committing to heavy entrees.

The vibe here is casual and trendy without being pretentious. It’s the kind of place that feels equally comfortable for a solo diner grabbing lunch, a group of friends meeting up for happy hour, or families stopping by with kids in tow. The beer and cocktail selection is legit—we’re talking great options across the board, plus wine and hard liquor if that’s your thing. If you’re into craft beverages, this dog friendly bar delivers.

One thing worth noting: while this dog friendly bar does have outdoor seating and lists dogs as allowed outside, visitors have reported inconsistent experiences with the patio policy. Some people who visit this dog friendly bar mention that the outdoor space has been closed at times, even during hours when you’d reasonably expect it to be open. It’s the kind of situation where a quick call ahead could save you disappointment, especially if bringing your pup is a priority for your visit.

Beyond dogs, this dog friendly bar is genuinely inclusive. It’s women-owned, LGBTQ+ friendly, and positioned as a transgender safespace—something that matters to a lot of people. The menu spans breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, with healthy options, vegan and vegetarian dishes, and comfort food all available. They move fast, take reservations (especially recommended for brunch), and offer everything from dine-in to takeout. Wheelchair accessibility is solid throughout the space too.

If you’re visiting Colorado Springs and want to hang somewhere with good drinks, interesting food, and real character, this dog friendly bar checks boxes. Just maybe check their patio status before heading over with your furry friend.
