The Golden Bee

by admin on January 16, 2009

The Piranas visited a local Broadmoor establishment called the Golden Bee for dinner. The Golden Bee originally came to The BROADMOOR in 1961 as a collection of panels and fixtures from an entire 19th-century pub that were shipped from England and reassembled in Colorado Springs – a town once nicknamed “Little London.” Celebrated as a unique dining adventure, the Golden Bee offers wonderful pub-fare and plenty of English charm. A ragtime piano player tickles the keys to a repertoire of sing-a-long songs, and the ale is served in yards.

So, speaking of yards, Mav did that:

They had a lovely meal of spinach salad and fish & chips and they sat at their table got to meet and get to know several nice folk including Robert Boniface (left) and Julia Vitarello (second from left) of Winning Time:


And Brad (aka Dirk Diggler) and Lori (aka birthday bee):

If you are wondering about the bees on their foreheads…since the Piranas were at an establishment called the Golden Bee, the wait staff throws these embroidered bees at patrons and they stick to you. If you stay long enough you end up with several bees:

The boys were completely amazed at how deftly their waitress, Lisa, could throw a bee at them and have it stick on their clothes:

Another important fact about the Golden Bee is the piano player:

The piano player plays songs from a song book that is on your table and everyone in the joint sings along. Mav and T3 stood and belted out a rousing rendition of “Oklahoma” and received a hearty round of applause from the establishment.

The boys walked home from the pub (if home is their hotel room) and are now safely tucked in bed. On the way home they snapped this pic of the front of the Broadmoor.

Tomorrow they get up early and catch their flight back to the 405.
