Contemporary American
8000 Sq. Ft. Gastrobrothel features Vegetable Forward, Globally-Inspired Dishes and a Live Music Venue ‘Electric Soapbox.’

Music schedule and ticket purchases can be found at opheliasdenver.com

Ophelia’s has taken many forms: located in the historic 1894-era Victorian Airedale building, it was a brothel, turned peep show, turned adult video library.
We serve as a restaurant, bar, and live music venue, with a boudoir-style
décor that honors the building’s past; and Ophelia, the muse. Continuing the Edible Beats tradition of delicious, responsibly-sourced food, the upscale, gastrobrothel-inspired menu will include fresh, craveable takes on flatbread
pizza, small plates, burgers, and shareable charcuterie boards.
Brunch kitchen hours: 10am-2pm
Dinner kitchen hours: Wed&Thur 5pm-10pm, Friday & Saturday 5pm-11pm. (Full menu subject to show times).

    The vibe and food were good but my daughter and I felt forgotten throughout our meal. When you have a time limit on your seat, it shouldn’t take 20-25 mins to get your first drink (one being a lemonade btw). At one point, I looked around to see why it was taking so long as we were two of the first ppl to arrive and order said drinks. As stated above, food was great and the vibe was electric especially around 11a when ppl started to flow in and if not for the perceived lack of service, we would return on our next trip into Denver.

    The food and ambiance was absolutely amazing: to die for. Our waiter seemed a little disorganized (she kept dropping things) and we had to wait a while for our reservation but the food is absolutely worth it.

    What a fun time for brunch! Everyone's food was delicious, the service was great. My only criticism, the drinks were pretty small, and $12 for a shot of Bailey's in coffee seemed like a lot. But I would go back again, definitely!

    Everything about this place was amazing. From the artwork on the walls as you enter to the live music performance. We ordered the cornbread as an appetizer and oh my goodness🤤🤤🤤🤤 so delicious and cute lol. The bottomless mimosas did not hold back and I loved it🥂 We split the plantain french toast and chicken n waffles where the quality and flavors together was just amazing. I highly recommend this place if you’re into live music, good food and drinks and having a good time😊

    My husband and I were in town for a concert at The Marquis, one block over. We found Ophelia’s on the map and decided to try it out since it was close by. We were pleasantly surprised and quite impressed. The ambiance was great, the service was on point and the food was fantastic! We will certainly be back and have already told friends and family about our great experience!!

    We made a reservation for 2 at 2 pm without realizing they technically close at 2 and reopen at 5, but the hostess was super understanding and relaxed about it! There were still several tables there when we arrived and the ambience was so fun - we already want to go back for a show night. We got the chicken and waffles, open faced BLT, a blintz, and their frozen Irish coffees - it was all absolutely delicious and the portions were just right that we were full but not too full to walk 2 miles home after! We will definitely be back!

    Got ignored for 2 hrs. The “fun guy” was the worst piece of food I’ve ordered this entire restaurant week. We were blatantly given the wrong thing and then told “that’s how we do it” and when we asked for a replacement of a dirty glass, we were told “they’re like, all stained…” All the appetizers were good, the chicken sandwich was solid too. The drinks were just fine, but everything was overpriced which is a shame because the ambiance was incredible

    This place was so impressive and such a cool concept! The food was delicious and was clearly made with attention to detail and flavor. The value is also on point. The frozen Irish coffee, fall harvest farrotto, and the plantains were all amazing. I’ll definitely be back!

    We came here for restaurant week. Some of our dishes (the brussels sprouts, plantains, farroto, apple cream pie and custard pop) were super good. Some of our dishes were not inedible but less good. Our service was good at first and then dropped off but never really bad. The vibes of this place are cool. The drink list is underwhelming
