Monica & David Kowalski are the wife-and-husband founders behind Lebowski’s Taproom and Lebowski’s Kool-Luah Coffee Liqueur, two Colorado-born brands built on community, creativity, and an unapologetically good time.

Entrepreneurs at heart, Monica and David launched Lebowski’s Taproom in Colorado Springs as more than just a bar or restaurant—it was designed as a welcoming neighborhood hub where craft beverages, pop-culture events, and genuine hospitality collide.

Under their leadership, the taproom quickly became known for its playful personality, innovative cocktails, themed events, bingo & trivia nights, and unwavering commitment to community involvement.

Together, Monica and David have built their brands with a strong focus on community engagement, philanthropy, and local partnerships, supporting everything from Special Olympics athletes to neighborhood fundraisers and cultural events.

Their approach blends hospitality, entertainment, and storytelling into scalable brands that resonate with guests, partners, and fans alike.

At the core of everything they do is a simple belief: great drinks, great people, and memorable experiences create lasting businesses—and even better communities.
