Our Future A new direction. The same intention.
Creativity. Intentionality. Passion. It’s where we came from, and it’s where are hearts have always been. And it’s what is driving the next phase of The Carter Payne. We’re pivoting to an event center and away from an à la carte restaurant. We’ve added a full calendar with spectacular opportunities to gather for an experience, rather than a meal. From paired beverage dinners to wine classes, guided tastings to bottle release parties, there’s something for everybody. Get out your calendars, and peruse the full list here.
Of course, the new direction means we can say yes to hosting even more special private events. Wedding? Rehearsal Dinner? Baby Shower? Anniversary? Corporate Party? Fundraiser? If you dream it, we can host it. Nothing is cookie cutter, everything is all that you’ve come to expect from The Carter Payne. Get in contact here.

Our Story Purpose, reimagined.
Opened in 1897 as the Payne Chapel AME Church on land donated by General Palmer, our building was the first African American church in Colorado Springs. As such, it served not just as a place of worship, but as a gathering space for the community.
The intention of the building lives on: a place to gather, to celebrate, to meet your neighbors and make friends. Not just a drink or a meal, but an experience, curated by our expert staff. You’ll find 200 beers handcrafted beers per year from Local Relic Artisan Ales, a plethora of intentionally sourced wines, each available by the glass from Crusade, and masterfully crafted cocktails-as-art from Araucana Bespoke Cocktails. Paired with exceptional, seasonal and creative cuisine from our kitchen, helmed by Chef Brent Beavers, make every day an occasion.
Upcoming Events
From Paired Beer Dinners to Sunday (Wine) School, from live music on the patio to cornhole tournaments, there’s always something going on!
Book Your Event Memories await.
We believe that every event is as unique as the people gathering together to celebrate. So where most venues have pre-defined packages and a list of appetizers to select from, we work to create a customized experience reflective of the occasion, the theme, and the season. We’d love to hear more about what you have in mind!
