    This is favorite club in Denver. I was told by many friends that I must check this club out. So, I was in town for Slick Rick and a band that does cover music for Grateful Dead. The building has a cool back story and it's very well decorated. I love the back wall of old radios and Walkmans! I saw a yellow Walkman that I once owned. The owner, Matt is pretty dope, and does a real good job in running the club. The restaurant has delicious bites, the Waygu burger is my favorite, and their Flatbread pizza. I wish i was in town to see Judith Hill and Mahalia. If only Denver was just a hop skip n jump for me, I would be here in a heartbeat. I will come back for their brunch. If your looking for a nice club, check this one our. Check out their page for upcoming events, :D

    My sister and I love to take people here when they are in town visiting! The atmosphere is incredible, however a bit loud especially when a live band is playing but SO worth it for the vibes. The service has always been great and the waiters know the menu well. The food is delicious!!

    Cheese Curds and Pickles
    Ali W.

    Food: I was throughly impressed with the quality and care of each item we got. Everything was packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and perfectly seasoned. (1) Plantains: to say these were packed with flavor is an understatement. The plantains themselves were sweet and perfectly ripe. Tpphe sauces and fixings around it made this dish 10/10 (2) Cheese curds / fried pickles: Um why is this combo not required at all times? My two favorite loves! The pickles are, rightfully, chip pickles. The cheese curbs have cheddar in them. Bursting with flavor and deliciousness. Exactly how you want both items to be delivered. (3) Wagyu Smashburger: In my opinion, the toppings are perfection. Not too much, just the right stuff. The sautéed onions were drool worthy and the smashed patties couldn't get any more smashed. 10/10! We also subbed the fries for the brussels sprouts and wow are we glad we did! Bursting with flavor my partner said, "I think these are the best brussels sprouts I've ever had". Some shishito peppers snuck in (beautiful match btw) and the sauce and fixing on these made it pop. All the drinks were delicious too. Perfectly balanced but also different. Really impressive! Service: Pretty good. I would have liked a bit more attention but it worked out just fine. Ambience: Can you beat sitting on the banister of a concert venue? This place is so fun and hip. Such a cool vibe even if live music isn't playing at that time.

    Benedict Pizza

    The themed weekend brunches at Ophelia's are simply unbeatable, and the live DJ adds so much energy! I just attended the "Is There Brunch On Mars? The Bowie Brunch" and WOW - it was incredible! The vibe, the amazing tunes, the lively atmosphere, the delicious food, and the creative cocktails completely blew me away. If you haven't been yet, check out their calendar and pick a date--you won't regret it! Here's what I indulged in: Food Highlights Brunch Monty: Maple French Toast, Blueberry Jelly, Shaved Ham, Pepper Jack Cheese, Bacon, Powdered Sugar, and an Over Easy Egg. The perfect fusion of sweet and savory! Hangover Fries: Wavy Potatoes with Queso, Buttermilk Chicken, Red Onion, Scallions, and BBQ Sauce--loaded fries heaven! Benedict Pizza (MY FAVORITE!): Shaved Ham, Poached Egg, Mozzarella, Hollandaise, Garlic Chili Oil, Scallions--Hollandaise on pizza is genius! Denver Skillet: Ham, Potatoes, Green Chile, Onion, Cheddar, Eggs Your Way, Scallions--a Mile High City classic. Drink Highlights Classic & Blood Orange Mimosa Espresso Martini: A perfect blend of TFJ Vodka, Kamora, Espresso, and Cinnamon--highly recommend! Lady in Red: A stunning mix of Hibiscus-Infused Rum, Campari, Passionfruit Honey, Citrus, and Cinnamon--a newly added favorite! If you're in Denver, Ophelia's is THE place to be for a one-of-a-kind brunch experience. Can't wait to go back and see what other themes they have in store!

    Breakfast pizza
    Marissa F.

    We went for their "champagne problems" Taylor swift themed brunch. While I was disappointed in their effort on that part - they had a DJ who looked like he didn't want to be there, nothing interactive for the crowd, her movie playing on the big screen and her music blaring through the place, I reallllly enjoyed the food so that's why it's getting 4 stars. The service was subpar - the waiter remedy like he gave minimal effort despite it not being packed. My friends got the avocado toast, the brunchwtap supreme and I got the breakfast pizza. The crust was amazing and delicious and the combination of prosciutto egg and cheese/hollandaise was fantastic! i really enjoyed it!! both my friends said their dishes were delicious as well. We each had one cocktail. we were sat on the bottom floor which had plenty of open space for dancing or more tables. had the DJ been doing ANYTHING interactive, i would have gotten up and danced. seemed like a half baked idea to get people in the door.

    While in Denver, we had Sunday brunch at Ophelia's. Great service from start to finish, and upbeat music playing along to a video screen showing old MTV music video's. How fun!! For brunch, my husband had the breakfast pizza and I had the chicken biscuit smothered in a delicious gravy. We always try to find unique places to dine when we visit other towns and Ophelia's checked that box for us.

    My wife and I attended a great concert there last night. "Mia X Alley" and we loved it. The concert was fabulous and the venue was first rate. Aside from being in the heart of Lodo, a place I despise and avoid whenever possible, it all worked out well. Parking was easy enough with a dozen paid parking garages and lots within easy walking distance. The venue itself is easy to find, clean and set up quite well. The door staff were nice and bartenders were friendly and easy to deal with. The drinks were reasonably priced and not watered down. This is a great place to watch a concert from several different levels. We would not hesitate to watch another concert here.

    Steakhouse - Creamed Kale, Green Beans, Bison and Green Chile Cornbread
    Annie L.

    Ordered Ophelia's Steakhouse. Bison was cooked well but a little too salty. Meat was very lean! Green beans okay and creamed kale good, but also a bit tangy. Chimichurri has great lime flavor. The corn bread was good with the butter but not the jelly. Weird taste and better without the jelly. Had seating at the counters and service was terrible!! Extremely slow!! Took 1 hour from seating to get the food.

    God this place is awesome....and I had no idea. My kids took me out for HH here and it was so much fun and the food and drinks so great. First off huge shout out to Chris and DD our amazing bartenders. We arrived right after happy hour ended ( like one minute) and Chris let us order off the HH menu....that was so huge and kind. Many thanks. So if you don't have tickets ( like we did not) you can sit at the bar. The night we went it was Burlesque ( the performer was stunning coming into the venue...just saying). The bar was great and we ordered a ton of appetizers and cocktails. There was not a single bad dish or cocktail. Loved the Waygu sliders, fun-guy flatbread. Amazing and creative desserts. My only small quibble was the plastic tumblers the libations were served in. I love glass man....and I promise not to throw it at any one....pinky swear. Seriously just go. You will have an amazing time....and if you dont I'll pay for your bill ( yeah right). Amazing place that we will be back for sure.

    Ophelia's is a great spot to catch a concert. The small venue allows you to be up close with the performers, yet big enough to give a concert feeling. We saw the Dresden dolls and shelled out the extra money for table seats. The seats are on the second level but still have a good view of the stage, and they do pair you with other people to fill the venue. (In our case our booth held 6) They do offer food, but we did not eat. They do have some creative cocktails though. Which are very fairly priced. The service could have been better with long wait times between check in's my drink went dry a couple of times. Though our server was very friendly. TL:DR - Great intimate venue to watch your favorite band

    Brothel Burger
    Linna L.

    I love going to unique restaurants and this is one of them. From the layout of the restaurant to the decor, it's different. My group ordered the Brussel sprouts, brothel burger, mushroom pizza, and picnic platter. Each dish was wonderful - full of flavor and a joy to eat. We came during happy hour and the drinks were strong and affordable. All of my friends enjoyed all the drinks on the happy hour menu. The service was amazing. We came here around 5PM reservation. It was not busy but it is recommended to make reservations. Even though it was not busy, there was already a 7PM reservation on the list that would be seated at our table after us. The host told us if we wanted to stay when the next reservation arrive, they would find us a different spot at another table or bar. I loved the open communication. I suggest street parking around the area. It's cheaper. The lot next to the restaurant have a history of giving people tickets if they leave one minute after their parking ticket expired. I researched the parking lot on google and the reviews were horrible. Just a heads up! This restaurant is also located to next to a hostel :)

    Crispy Togarishi Brussels Sprouts and The Classic Benedict Pizza
    Ricky M.

    The pizza in this pic is so good that I found myself oscillating between Gate Keeping and Telling the World, finally settling on *PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW*. Ophelia's has awesome food. Everyone knows this. The whole damn LOVER restaurant group smacks, so yeah, I'm not breaking any news here. But ayeeeee, this Classic Benedict Pizza on their brunch menu is next fcking level. The dough is apparently from 200yr old sourdough starter, and the combination of toppings (jammy egg, mozz cheese, hollandaise aioli)--- chef's kiss. Soooo yeah, *run don't walk *to Ophelia's for brunch, you will NOT be disappointed.

    I had no idea what to expect when my boyfriend told me about this restaurant. He explained it pretty well but still, I think one cannot truly understand until you get there. Like every other time I visit a new restaurant I scoped out the menu prior to visiting to make sure I had an idea of what I wanted to eat. My indecisiveness fully shines when menus are expansive and they all seem great. The wonderful thing about their food menu is that they seem to focus on a handful of items which makes me feel that they must be great dishes. What made brunch even better is my bestie Amy, from all the way back home in Hawai'i, was visiting her college bestie Elyse in Denver the same time we were visiting Colorado, so we invited them to join us for brunch! I love that it worked out AND we may not have found this place if it wasn't for my boyfriend having visited this restaurant years ago. We each studied the menu and had an idea of what we wanted when the waiter came over. I ordered the plantains foster french toast skillet, which came sizzling and delicious of course. I also had a side of over easy eggs and bacon. My boyfriend had the Ropa Vieja Hash and we also ordered the Crispy Togarashi Brussels Sprouts. Everything was delicious. The music was great as well. I loved that the seating of the restaurant was as if you're in an auditorium, because you are watching a show while you're eating. A great concept and fun too! We truly enjoyed ourselves, chatting, eating, and enjoying great music and food. I can't even remember what the band's name was that was playing but they sounded great. I look forward to coming back here for another show sometime in the future.

    Ask the Community - Ophelia's Electric Soapbox

    Should we go for brunch or late night on a Sunday?

    My experience was brunch and it was FABULOUS! I'd recommend brunch since that was our thing last time. You will not be disappointed. ♥️

    How is 80s night? Are people dancing or just sitting/eating/listening?

    Some are dancing where they stand. And some sitting and listening. I think some danced on floor but it's a small space.

    When do the shows typically start?

    Whatever is posted, just count on it being 2 hours later. Of course, we were there on Halloween, so not sure if that had any bearing.

    How loud is it before a show? Want to have a conversation over drinks and apps and not sure what the atmosphere will be like tonight preShow.

    It is bar loud, but not concert loud. You can hear your conversations in your party if you are actively listening.

    Is there always live music playing?

    No. Those are scheduled. But, there is always music playing.

    Can we bring our baby in at brunch, or is it 21+ only?

    Of course you can!!

Anybody who's come out of Colorado to become a big name has gone through those doors to play on the little stage. From local to traveling acts, from punk bands and karaoke talent to gritty stand-up and flirty burlesque, this place has it. If you're up for a night that doesn't stink of ordinary, swing through that creaky door and take in a most memorable evening. If there is a cover, it's usually nominal. Drinks are cheap, served by a great crew that's always up for a laugh and cheers. Sometimes hitting the town isn't about getting fancy but just kicking back, and this is a great place to do just that off the mainstream treads.

    Great little dive bar on Colfax! Came here for the first time last night to see a DJ (or set of DJs…read moreI guess) that we like. The interior is small but I like how the bar is set up kind of in a rectangle so you're actually facing some other people (maybe awkward, but feels more communal?) They had an inexpensive menu of basic beers. They were out of the drink I wanted so the bartender made me a creation that I guess is something the doorman likes - not bad, and I think it was about $10 which is pretty decent for a mixed drink. I noticed a big red counter/clock on the wall across from us and after a few seconds we deduced it was a decibel meter. I'm curious if they have restrictions here for noise - AOK by me. The volume was generally alright (a little loud but what isn't?) and they actually had a sound guy in the corner making sure the volume and quality sounded good. Overall had a very decent Saturday night here.

I went on a Friday night with my mom I'd just gotten my hair done and wanted to do something fun, a little fancy, and different from the usual dinner spot. It absolutely delivered. First: parking in RiNo is rough. Plan ahead. My reservation was at 8:30 PM and I arrived almost 45 minutes early just looping the area. Eventually found street parking but give yourself time so you're not stressed walking in. The exterior is beautiful mural artwork, elegant entrance, very polished. Once inside, you're greeted, there's coat check and the entire space feels intimate and elevated without being stuffy. It's romantic but not pretentious. I'd go here for a date, a birthday, or just to treat someone special. We did the three-course prix fixe experience (around $150 per person, 25% gratuity included -- that's required for reservations). It felt worth it for the full experience. Food highlights: * I tried the steak tartare for the first time. raw beef and egg, served in a crispy potato nest. Very outside my comfort zone, but beautifully presented and well executed. * My mom had the grilled octopus and loved it. * For entrées, I ordered the Branzino (10/10) and she had the duck she raved about it. * The risotto was slightly underdone but not enough to ruin the dish. * Dessert was a passionfruit tarte. very tart and tangy (true to its name!). * For my birthday, they surprised us with a vanilla dessert that was honestly incredible. Also worth mentioning: their non-alcoholic options are phenomenal. I had the "Kitten Heels" mocktail (10/10), and their non-alcoholic rosé genuinely tasted like the real thing. As someone who appreciates thoughtful zero-proof options, this stood out. The live music was the star of the night. The performers were incredibly talented! the vocals, the breath control, the instrumentation! it felt immersive. The only thing I'll say is the crowd was a little low-energy. My mom and I were the only ones really moving in our seats, tapping along, enjoying it visibly. I wanted more people to feel it! Overall, this is a beautiful spot for live jazz, elevated dining, and a romantic or celebratory night out. If you love cultural, artsy experiences and live music, this is absolutely worth it. I'll definitely be back.

I went here with my sister for the Jesse McCartney show! I was so excited that he was coming to Denver and I've never been to this auditorium. When you first walk in, it's just big and open like a dance floor. They do have a small food concession stand, but it's your basic concession food. They do have an upstairs with seating with tables, but you have to pay for that specific ticket. The rest is standing room only so like you're standing on the dance floor the whole time if you want to sit, I would definitely suggest purchasing a table. It is at one of the smaller venues, but I do like the open concept where there was plenty of space and all the angles were a good view. I would definitely go back to this auditorium. If another artist I liked was performing there.
