    This place is absolutely incredible. Scantily clad woman, music, dance and great drinks with friends. If you enjoy beautiful women and much as I do, this place is for you. It's all very erotic, sexy and tasteful. The staff is efficient, friendly and really add to the burlesque ambiance. The stage is really well done and there really isn't a bad seat in the house. The show we saw was sold out and had been for a week. Buy your tickets well in advance. The parking is suspect and it is downtown so watch yourself after dark. This is one of the few places that will draw me into downtown at night.

    Quite possibly just might not be my thing. I came with a friend and we both were kind of bored within the first like 5 minutes. The food and drinks weren't terribly priced. The service was relatively fast with bringing things out, but our chips and crackers were a little stale. I can't say I truly enjoyed anything I tried from the menu. People were really engaged and seemed into it. I could tell a lot of work was put into production, and the staff seemed to be genuinely enjoying themselves, so that was a plus.

    The clocktower Cabaret is always such a treat. We have never had a bad experience here. The shows are always fun and creative and vibrant. You could never be bored! The room has so much history and is decorated in a fun yet classy decor that brings you right into the moment. It's a great time to dress up and go out on a date night or go and party it up with your friends. The host is just such a gem and we just love coming here. There are always deals too on Instagram and their website for various shows. Go check out a show or two. I'm telling you - you will be hooked and want to come back again and again. They also have excellent snacks and charcuteries and desserts and of course drinks - lots of different to choose from. Highly recommend! (Will add more photos )

    Do NOT pay extra for VIP tickets!!! The stage will be right in your face and your table small. Better seats are the comfy padded booths a bit back, which isn't far away anyway since this place is so small. Way more comfortable NOT in the "VIP" section. The band seemed off. The leader man was like yelling at people in the group and it was weird and I wanted to go up there and alpha female slap him in his chops. He was rude. They were an older band, they didn't seem too experienced and worse, seemed unprofessional they didn't do their sound check BEFORE customers arrive at the start time of the show. Kinda not so classy. The music was good and fun at times, then they got too old school, to the point I was like "What decade is this from..."? Overall, I was hoping for a better experience. It wasn't terrible, but not good enough to get me excited to get back again.

    We were lucky to be in town when the Clocktower had their Drag Decades show (hosted by the fabulous Miss Shirley Delta Blow!) The place was hoppin' and the ladies put on a great show. I have to say, Miss Shirley was the best part of the festivities. While she's no dancer, she is a wonderful, inclusive, funny and warm entertainer. The atmosphere is great for this type of show and wait staff are responsive. Fun Times!!

    I love the Clocktower Cabaret!! The acts are always so awesome! My most recent visit was for the Weird Al Burlesque. That was awesome and because it was Weird Al music, you were guaranteed a laugh. All the acts make their own costumes and they were just so amazing. I wish I had that much creativity! The wait staff is also amazing! They were all attentive and made sure our party was doing ok.

    This whole experience was such a blast! We went to a Chicago vs Cabaret themed night and everyone was so incredibly talented. The drinks were also amazing with wonderful service to our table. We're already looking at tickets to the next show.

    Coming to The Clocktower Cabaret was such a great experience from start to finish. The staff are so welcoming and nice. During this time, they are limiting capacity to about 35 people I believe and the seating was very spacious. I felt that guidelines were strictly in place, while still being able to have a fun time. There is a small food menu, in which we tried the caramel cheesecake and the chocolate toffee mousse cake. Both were really good, especially the mousse cake. The drinks are also great! And the waitresses were so nice and made sure that we had everything we needed! I attended the Boolesque show, which is geared towards Halloween. Yes, Halloween in February! I thought it was great and we had such a fun time. All the acts had something different to bring to the stage and we thoroughly enjoyed every act! If you're looking for something fun to do during this time, The Clocktower Cabaret has something for you! Also, this is a great way to support a Denver small family business.

    This is one of our favorite places to go in Denver! Every show we have been to has been better and better, with amazing entertainment and great service. The shows are all wonderful, but the Chicago vs. Cabaret is a personal favorite. No matter what show you go to, you're sure to have a fun time!

    Dana W.

    Yes times a million! What a fun night! Located in the historic clock tower, come out and check a Burlesque show. Food and drinks were available and totally affordable from what I thought it would be. Tickets were $45 and the entertainment was from start to end! Best night EVVVVERRR!!!

    The chips were stale with the salsa and the drinks were not super good. I don't think it's worth the cost overall.

    My ex and I joined the Growler of the Month Club at Bigsby's back in 2020, during our first visit…read morethat summer. We loved the ambiance, feeling like we'd really discovered a gem off the beaten track, pun intended. By joining the club, it was a monthly excuse to plan a special night out to what became one of our favorite places for date night. It's been a couple of years now, but we had occassion to meet the owners, when we mistook their closing time for an hour later. The lights were still on, so we didn't realize our mistake, until they'd already invited us in to exchange our monthly growler with such warmth. Super nice people, reflecting the vibe we always felt on our other visits. The staff echoes that disposition, always friendly and knowledgeable. Though the winery isn't on-site, I've always been impressed with their tasting experience. I've now been a member for over 5 years, going in at least once a month, and they still suggest trying seasonal options and have broadened my palette... Though my ex and I have parted ways for a long while now and he moved away, he's kept our membership current, calling it my "alimony," and a nod to remembering the good times we had together. I recommend Bigsby's for all the good memories for all the folks, be it a lazy summer afternoon on the patio or a cozy evening in the lounge area with a glass of red when it's cold outside!

    Four stars because service started off rocky. I came in right behind a table of four and while…read morethey were sat immediately, the staff member walked off and I stood there for at least another five minutes without being acknowledged. Then when he did acknowledge me and I stated I would sit at the bar, it took several minutes for the bartender to acknowledge me. The staff was busy speaking to each other and doing side work. Once I was acknowledged, things started getting a little better. When I arrived during breakfast/brunch, I was informed they were in the middle of a menu change, so my choices were limited. Breakfast items include bacon and burritos. I started off with a charcuterie board (though I had asked for a fromage board). This was not only because I wanted some tasty cheese, but I was trying to kill time until the lunch/dinner menu started. The board was a great board, two different meats, three cheeses, a loaf of bread, some nuts and jellies. But it was 40 dollars! I had a few small plates (which was still a lot of food). I had a melon and cucumber salad, which was a good palate cleanser. I also had the roasted king mushrooms, which were underwhelming with no seasoning, and they were a little chewy. The best thing was the wild boar meatballs, which were seasoned really well and in a savory, delicious marinara sauce. All the cocktails were fruity (but not sweet) and refreshing. I had one that was carrot based (Kiss my Carrot with tequila, cointreau, carrot, orange, and ginger), one that had pineapple flavor (paper boat with rum, falernum, aperol, lemon, pineapple), and the smoky smoke and flower (hibiscus mezcal, cointreau, pama, rose water). This spot is a winery, so they have a large wine list. They have handhelds like burgers and flatbreads. Starters like artichoke dip and bruschetta. Some of the current entrees, which might change, are hanger steak, chilean salmon, cauliflower steak. They had a gnocchi dish I was interested in, but it's already been removed from the menu. The restaurant is classy and just like a winery is expected to be. The food is pretty good. But the service was really subpar.

A huge thing that sets this indoor mini golf a part from others is their technology. There's a chip inside the golf balls. each person has a turn until they get their ball in the hole. Unlike regular golf, the more points you get here, the better. There are also opportunities for bonus points which helped me win my round. The prices are reasonable as well. We played a 9 hole course for $14 each. There are several courses too. You can expect security guards outside checking ID's because this is a 21+ spot. There are a couple of bars inside along with a restaurant. Can't comment on food because we just golfed and had a good time.

It took us a little longer than 30 minutes to get through 9 holes, but for $14 a game it was nice to get a taste of what it was like. I would absolutely return, and plan to take advantage of their $25 play all day deal, and also their happy hour. This is not your usual putt putt place. Everything is electronic, and your ball has a microchip in it, so it tracks your score. This was awesome for me, as sometimes it didn't record my strokes and gave me a slight advantage, although I still lost. There are screens that tell you what to do, and hazards or super tubes that if you have decent aim, can benefit you greatly. Our favorite was the pac man and Tetris themed holes. They also had a skeeball hole that was fun as well. This is great for a date night- I will be back for sure!

It's illegal to vape in public places, but they don't seem to care. They had signs on the door saying THC products had to be taken to a grassy area across the parking lot, but it wasn't enforced, and that would still be illegal because it is illegal to use smoke or vape THC in any public or open space. The second hand vape was as bad or worse than any second hand smoke I have experienced. I left with a headache, sore throat, and feeling poorly. The jam session was also disappointing. The house band played from 7 to 8:10, took a break, and then came back and played another song. It was 8:25 before anyone was invited to join. The jam was advertised to go to 9 so it wasn't much of a jam opportunity. Also, the they decided to squeeze the band into a little spot in the walkway that was in the middle of all the vaping. People walking by had to be careful not to bump the horn players, and the horn players had to move to avoid being hit by them as they were playing. This was unnecessary because they have a big room with chairs, guitars on the wall, etc available in the back of the place that appeared to be setup for the jam. It made no sense and created a terrible jam environment.

Not a big deal, I was just thinking not everyone wants a whole and if someone is extra hungry they can take two halves. Just thought it would make things a tad easier. They tell me no. They can't/won't cut in half. Ok, whatever. I don't understand what the big deal is, they obviously posses knives... just cut them instead of saying "no". So stupid. 20ish Minutes after waiting, the person who took my order said it would be 30 minutes to make. Which was weird cause what was going on for the last 20 minutes? 30 minutes to wait is fine, if you don't waste the 20 mins prior resulting in about an hour wait. So, I declined as now we are talking an hour to get 20 simple breakfast burritos. I needed to get to work and I wasn't wanting to wait an entire hour and they just wasted 20 minutes of my time not prepping anything, so I decided not to go with the burritos. Someone came to refund my sale and then preceded to kind of scold me for not ordering in advance. He said something about for an order like 20 burritos they want 2 days heads up. GTF outta here. It's freaking burritos. You don't need 2 days to make 20 burritos. And here's the thing, I'm not here for a lecture because I attempted to give YOU business. And I won't be back, either. When you get a customer to purchase your goods, be happy. Provide them the goods. Make it as soon as you can. Don't say no for no reason. Don't make anyone feel bad for trying to give you business. It would have been SOOOOO simple to make the burritos and quick run the knife through them. But, no, the choice was to do nothing for almost a half hour, to refuse to run a knife through them as asked, and then lecture a customer for coming in to order 20 items. It's not like I asked for 100. What if 10 customers came in and each ordered 2? Can you do that? Do they get lectured, too, or...? See ya.

    3.5 Stars…read more After waiting nearly three months for Denver's hottest reservation, my group of four were underwhelmed by our dining experience. The Good: The food itself was lovely. Fantastic flavors. Beautiful plating. If basing our review on the food alone--five stars. The Bad: Despite having been in their space for months by now, the ambiance was not there. The staff kept turning on and off the food heat lamps, which were so bright that the light level in the entire space vacillated between dark and sultry to too brightly light all night. The temperature was absolutely arctic. Multiple groups had to ask for their coats from coat check before one of the waitstaff said he looked at the heating. He made adjustments, which did increase the temperature of the room from arctic to chilly--but it remained unacceptably cold. Pacing of courses was oddly timed. The waitstaff couldn't seem to strike a good balance between casual and fine dining--it was a little awkward at times. The Bad: Despite placing our wine flight orders twice, with two different waitstaff, they forgot to give us our drinks until we asked. By then, we'd missed two of the pairings. They did offer to serve us the remaining pairings at no cost, which was a nice gesture. But, it's wild that something like this happened in a place with 16 seats and 4 waitstaff--they missed out on $400 in alcohol sales because of this error. The meal was explained to our group as a "ten course" experience. We only received nine courses: 1. The venison "hamburger" 2. Cappuccino 3. Roasted apple 4. Crudo/sashimi 5. Scallop 6. Lobster 7. Venison skewer 8. Duck leg 9. Dessert This feels like an egregious oversight. And, based on what we overheard from the table next to us--almost felt deliberately misleading. The wine pairing is plainly described in the menu as "five pairings." As dessert was brought out, the table next to us inquired about the remaining pairings, as they'd only received 4 pairings up to that point. The waitstaff tried blaming it on the fact that "dessert wine is polarizing" and "we over poured the other pairings," but those are weak excuses. If you're not going to offer the full 5 pairing flight as advertised, that needs to be communicated ahead of time. Overall: With a price point, including wine flight (had that worked out), per person of nearly $325--The Guest had too many substantial misses. While the food may be ready for prime time, the service is leagues behind.

This is a timed, coursed dinner where the entire room sits and eats together, so arriving on time is essential. The format creates a restaurant wide dinner party feel, which sets the tone for the night. Everything feels intentional, from the pacing to the service to the design of the space. The menu changes often and is never repeated, which makes the experience feel special and creative rather than formulaic. Standout dishes for me included the duck doughnut, the wood ear French toast, the venison burger, and the leek cappuccino. The kanpachi crudo and scallop with tamarind were also beautifully balanced, and desserts like Cash's Apple and The Sphere were thoughtful finishes rather than an afterthought. One of the more memorable details was the menu book at the end of the night, featuring the chef's original sketches of the dishes. It's a small touch that really reinforces how personal and considered the experience is. If you're looking for a unique, chef driven tasting experience that feels cohesive and well executed, this is absolutely worth a reservation.
