Search for a concert at 13071 Bass Pro Drive right now and you'll get two different answers depending on which app you trust. Pull it up on Bandsintown and the venue is listed as Phil Long Music Hall at Bourbon Brothers. Bandsintown places Phil Long Music Hall at 13071 Bass Pro Dr in Colorado Springs, CO. Check a ticket reseller instead and the same address comes back under its old name. StarTickets still lists Boot Barn Hall At Bourbon Brothers with its ticket box office at 13071 Bass Pro Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80921.
Neither app is wrong. The room hasn't moved. The name is mid-change, and if you live off Voyager Parkway or Interquest, that split-screen listing is a small, useful signal. It means the stretch of Bass Pro Drive that most Northgate residents think of as "the exit with the fishing store and some restaurants" is currently being renegotiated by three different kinds of money at once: a sponsorship deal renaming the concert hall, a family entertainment venue running at a scale most neighborhoods never get, and a restaurant lineup that's grown well past the drive-thru chains everyone already has memorized. None of that shows up on a single listing page. It only shows up if you look at the whole block.
The venue with two names
Before the rebrand, the room built its identity on touring acts that skew country and classic rock. Boot Barn Hall at Bourbon Brothers has hosted concerts from artists such as Mother's Finest, having previously welcomed the likes of Buckcherry, That Arena Rock Show, and Randall King. That's the lineup Northgate got used to walking distance from Bass Pro Shops.
What's changed is the name on the marquee, not the room itself. The venue is a club in the heart of Colorado Springs with a capacity of 1,200 people, the same footprint it's always had. A naming-rights swap like this usually means a sponsor has signed on for the long haul, which is a different kind of commitment than just booking a good fall calendar. It doesn't guarantee a bigger act roster by December, but it's the kind of deal venues don't do on a whim.
| Old listing | Current listing | |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Boot Barn Hall at Bourbon Brothers | Phil Long Music Hall at Bourbon Brothers |
| Address | 13071 Bass Pro Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80921 | 13071 Bass Pro Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80921 |
| Capacity | Same room | 1,200 |
A third source outside the ticketing world backs up the new name. A local business directory listing nearby shops at the same intersection already refers to it as "Phil Long Music Hall At Bourbon Brothers", filed right alongside its actual neighbors on the same stretch of pavement. That's three independent listings disagreeing on a name at the exact same address in the same year, which is a more reliable clue that something real is happening than any single press release would be.
What's sharing the parking lot
Walk a hundred yards from the music hall and you hit Overdrive Raceway, and this is where Northgate's entertainment corridor stops looking like a typical suburban strip. Overdrive Raceway is a 68,000-square-foot facility built to be the country's first two-story, two-track indoor electric go-karting venue, bridging a family-friendly entertainment center with a high-octane competitive racing hub. It sits at 196 Spectrum Lp, a two-minute drive from the renamed music hall.
The two tracks aren't interchangeable, which is part of why the place draws repeat visits instead of a single novelty trip:
- Upstairs, the premium Superleggero "Turbo Shifter" karts top out at around 45 mph with a turbo boost button for strategic overtakes
- Downstairs, the Storm karts run slightly slower, around 40 mph, built for the highly technical Agility track
- Junior karts are speed-limited to a safe but thrilling 25 mph
- A second-floor sports bar overlooks the Rockstar Speed Track, a 21-and-over area with a fully licensed bar and live sports on screen
The facility also does something few tracks in the state bother with. Overdrive is one of the only facilities in the country with hand-controlled ADA karts, the first Duo Kart in the United States, and the only track in Colorado that can accommodate people of all abilities. That's not a marketing footnote. It's a genuine access feature that widens who can actually use the place, which matters in a neighborhood with the kind of military and veteran population Northgate has near the Academy.
Neither business sits in isolation either. The same commercial cluster on Bass Pro Drive and Meadowgrass Drive includes a swim school, a shooting range, and a boutique, all filed under the same handful of block numbers. It's a denser mix of daily-use businesses than the corridor gets credit for, and it's grown up around the music hall and raceway rather than the other way around.
Where the eating has actually shifted
Northgate has always had the chains: the drive-thrus, the sit-down casual spots you'd find at any interstate exit. What's worth flagging is how much the sit-down and craft side of the list has filled in. As of a July 2026 update, the top restaurant list for Northgate reads: Atmosphere Gastropub, Reds Sunset Grill, Nana's Dim Sum & Dumplings, Mezcalita, White Lotus Cafe, Bourbon Brothers Smokehouse and Tavern, and Walter's303 Pizzeria. That's a dumpling house, a Mexican kitchen, and a gastropub sharing a zip code that used to be shorthand for fast food.
The newest addition to that list leans health-focused rather than bar food. Toastique in northern Colorado Springs is locally and veteran owned, and it's nestled within the Farm and Northgate neighborhoods. It's a small signal, but it's the kind of concept that tends to follow rooftops and daytime foot traffic rather than lead it, which says something about where Northgate's weekday population has landed.
What this actually means if you already live here
None of this is a single grand opening you can circle on a calendar. It's three separate categories of investment landing on the same few blocks in the same stretch of time: sponsorship dollars attaching themselves to the concert hall, a serious entertainment operator running two full tracks and a second-floor bar, and a restaurant scene that's stopped being an afterthought next to Bass Pro Shops. Any one of those on its own is a footnote. Together, on the same half-mile of road, they're a pattern.
The practical takeaway is a small one, but it's real. If it's been more than a few months since you last drove down Bass Pro Drive on a Friday night, don't assume the place is the same as you remember it. The name on the marquee might not match what your phone tells you, the restaurant that used to be a placeholder between chains might now be worth an actual reservation, and the raceway two doors down runs karts fast enough that it's stopped being just a kids' birthday party spot.
A few things worth checking before you head that way:
- Confirm the venue name on whatever ticketing app you're using, since Boot Barn Hall and Phil Long Music Hall are currently the same room under two labels
- Ask which Overdrive track you're racing on if you're bringing a mixed group, since the upstairs and downstairs karts run at different speeds and serve different age minimums
- Check current hours for the newer restaurants directly, since a corridor this recently filled out doesn't always have settled schedules yet
Northgate's identity has quietly moved past "the exit by the Air Force Academy with the fishing superstore." It's turned into a corridor where a full evening, dinner, a show, and a few laps in a go-kart, is possible without leaving the zip code. That's not a small shift for a neighborhood that's spent years being defined by what's next door rather than what's actually on it.
If you're curious how changes like this tend to show up in what a Northgate property is worth down the line, that's the kind of question CC Signature Group spends a lot of time thinking through with Front Range clients. Reach out any time you want a local read on the market, no matter which stage of owning or selling you're at.
