Positioned in the heart of the city, our building was originally built to store and maintenance the streetcars that once traveled Tejon Street. Colorado Springs Rapid Transit Railway operated them from 1902 to 1932, when they were eventually decommissioned and replaced with busses. Owner/operator, Ari Knaup, put together an extensive collection of old vintage photographs and rail maps. Her vision was to utilize the buildings roots and original purpose as a core component of the concept and brand of Streetcar520.
Dining at Streetcar520 is a way to experience food from all over the world and share it with friends. Our menu is built around small plates and shared dishes, it is designed to bring an element of unity to groups of diners.

Service Projects
Community Service Opportunities:
After being in the Childrens hospital for a week with my family, this one hits home a little closer to the surface. I am so grateful for those that volunteer to help, who donate blood, volunteer meals for those in need and have donated to the hospital no matter how big or small.
There are so many families that have unexpected illnesses that need immediate medical attention, if you are looking to do a good deed and service others check out these service opportunities.
It’s about providing a sense of security, hope, and a brighter future. When we help those in need, we’re investing in a world where every child has the chance to grow, heal, and thrive.
