It was pretty exciting news in late February of 2025, when it was announced that Colorado's legendary Country bar would be opening a second location. It gives not only artists another place to play in Colorado, but also fans of The Grizzly another spot to hit up.

Colorado Springs Will Be Home to Grizzly Rose's Second Spot

Northern Colorado will have to wait to see if The Grizzly Rose wants to have three venues in the state, but it is good news for Colorado Springs. The name "Grizzly Rose" carries a lot of weight in Country music, but that won't be the name of this new place

The Grizzly Rose is huge, space-wise and in its notoriety; it seems everyone who has grown up in Colorado has been to the Grizzly at least once, if only to check it out. It really is a destination spot: the dance floor, the bars, the mechanical bull, the cowboys and cowgirls having fun for a night.
