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.

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 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.

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!!!

Off The Clock Late Night Tease & Curiosities

We had the BEST time at Off The Clock - Late Night Tease & Curiosities for my friends birthday. The host was charming, hilarious, and engaging. I honestly went in with no idea what I was walking into... I laughed, I cried laughing, I snorted, and clapped like a little kid at the circus. If you're looking for a fun girls night out or unique date night- try this out!!!!

And you might spend 5-10 minutes in the security line before the show. On site parking costs have increased over the years, and everyone leaving at once creates a backup, I've switched to using apps to park a couple blocks away. I can appreciate they don't want to support scalpers, but the no refunds/no exchanges for single ticket buyers combined with the fact the tickets aren't available until the day of show make it stressful to commit months in advance. This would be easily fixed by having a secondary face-value market and/or allowing same-show exchanges when availability allows.

A City agency, Denver Arts & Venues, manages the overall complex and rents to the Colorado Ballet, Colorado Symphony, Opera Colorado, and others. The Denver Center is now responsible for the Helen G. Bonfils Theatre Complex which includes the Wolf Theatre (640 seats, large thrust stage), the Kilstrom Theatre (380 seats, theater-in-the-round), the Singleton Theatre (233 seats, proscenium), and the Jones Theatre (196 seats, black box). The DCPA also manages the Broadway show schedule at the Buell Theatre (2,830 seats, proscenium) and the Garner Galleria (213 seats, cabaret). A $57 million renovation of the Theatre Complex facilities was completed between 2017 and 2023. This included a total modernization of systems, technology upgrades, a unified central lobby, new elevators, improved ADA access, and many backstage additions. This is a state-of-the-art complex fueled by one of the top professional theater companies in the country. The DCPA is particularly noted for the Colorado New Play Summit which has repeatedly been the genesis of major new work that has become part of the national repertoire. The DCPA runs a major administrative operation with six theaters staging classics, modern, and contemporary works, Broadway shows, and cabaret plus the 10,000 square foot Seawell Ballroom and a number of smaller event venues. A highly-regarded educational operation provides school enrichment programs, professional training for all ages, and opportunities for students to explore careers in all aspects of theater. The DCPA production shops are huge and well-worth a tour. All sets, props, and costumes are designed and built in-house. A large team of technical specialists, scenic artists, costume designers, and prop makers utilize the Scenic, Paint, Prop, Costume, and Wig/Makeup shops to put all the pieces of a production together. Productions here are top professional quality in every aspect. The DCPA is a tremendous resource and offers such a wide variety of theater choices that there is always something for everyone.

For those who don't know, this is the OG of Fenver comedy clubs. I first started going here all the…read moreway back in 1999. Back then they allowed smoking and it was pretty hard to breathe at times. They would often do a non-smoking show on a late Sunday afternoon, but it never had the same energy as the other ones and the comedians tended to trash talk it. I've seen some amazing acts here over the years. And I very much appreciate how much they help develop up-and-coming local comedians. Yeah, there is a two drink and/or item minimum. This doesn't bother me. I'm not someone who really goes out to see comedy and NOT drink. Honestly, my biggest complaint would be the chairs being bolted down. It can get a little tight down there for larger folks. I totally get it, they don't have to keep moving them around back to position, and they can definitely maximize the space. So it doesn't always make it the most comfortable for me, but hey, I do feel that the staff go out of their way to accommodate people's individual needs. And speaking of the staff, everyone that I've interacted with here is always just the friendliest and most helpful person around. Particular shout out to Adam and Adrian, who always give me A++ service when I am at a show.

Always great to see what comedians specifically picked this place! I went for a Taylor Tomlinson…read moreshow where she was testing out new material! They partnered with a parking garage across the street where you could get discounted parking and then you just walk over so that's where most people park. I went for an earlier show so we ended up waiting outside in line before they let us in. You do have to pay for your tickets in advance online and then you pick them up at will call. The problem is the person who bought the ticket needs to physically go and show your ID so make sure that you're committed. It's first come first serve so if you want a good seat upfront, make sure you show up early. They also partnered with a restaurant next-door so if you eat at the restaurant, then you're guaranteed a front row spot. The Comedy show has a two item minimum. I really enjoy this because I don't drink so being able to get two items instead of having to get two drinks is a great option.This time around, I got the chicken basket that comes with fries as my first item and then a cookie sundae as my second item. Both were definitely overpriced for what they were, but besides that it was fine. Definitely order your food as soon as you sit down because the longer you wait the longer it's gonna take to get your order and when they start piling everybody in the orders tend to back up. They also take your phone when you first go in so make sure you have it on do not disturb and they'll also take your smart watch. They put them in the secured bags and then you take the bag with you so your phone is always with you. You just can't access it until the end of the show. Overall, I like this Comedy location because of the two item minimum. I just wish the prices were a little more fair. If they drop the prices, I would definitely order more than two items and probably still pay the same amount that I did for the two items that I had to pay for.

They're so new, in fact, they don't actually have a traditional theater space. They partner with the Shaver-Ramsey rug gallery in Cherry Creek and hold their performances in the large room off to the side of the main showroom. The acoustics are wonderful, and the space works really well. The performance we saw was in-the-round, so there wasn't a bad seat in the place. They don't focus on one specific type of theater - you'll find dramas, comedies, even musicals. I suspect that anything you see will be quite good as they get some of the best acting talent in Denver, and do a solid job with their script selection. The CCT also offers refreshments before the show and during intermission, including wine, most of which seemed to just have a suggested "donation" amount. You are allowed to bring drinks into the theater - yay! They find places around the area (Whole Foods, for example) and bring in pretty decent bites. So, there you go - yet another theater in Denver you perhaps never knew was there. Check it out!

The show was hilarious, the venue was super clean, and both the audio and views of the stage were excellent. The only reason I'm taking off one star is the seating situation.

For a venue like this, I would have expected something a little more comfortable, especially when paying for floor seats. Other than that, everything was great! Parking was surprisingly easy, with a parking garage conveniently located nearby. When I arrived, there were tons of people entering the theater, so I expected long lines for food and drinks.
