Phantom Canyon Brewing Co.

Our Culinary Caper this evening found us at ​Phantom Canyon Brewing Company in downtown Colorado Springs.  Our party of eight had everything from Sweet & Spicy Fried Calamari, Colorado Bison, New York Strip Steak, Dos Lunas Lager Battered Cod, and Smoked Chicken Wings to Strawberry Shortcake Semifreddo and Honey Lavender Cheesecake.  The place was packed, but we had our own private room off the main dining area which allowed conversation at normal decibels.  Our gang had a great time and the service was excellent. My two piece Fish & Chips dinner [$12], a house favorite, looked like the batter would be crispy and crunchy, but instead had a soft and tender texture.  Upstairs are several pool tables, shuffleboard, and darts, as well as additional seating and an outdoor patio. The third level contains banquet rooms for special events. They feature a brewery on site and offer tours upon request.  Phantom Canyon has been serving Colorado Springs visitors and locals since 1993 at the corner of Pikes Peak and Cascade. ■
