Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox has taken many forms over its long and storied history. Built in 1890, the historic Victorian-Style Airedale Building features décor that honors the building’s past of whiskey-fueled evenings, jazz filled dance floors, and the secrets of a speakeasy. The 8,000 square foot space has hosted the likes of miners, railworkers, bootleggers and even Ophelia herself.

Our dinner menu features savory snacks, individual pizza slices & venue-friendly sandwiches. We also offer a unique hangover friendly brunch where you and your friends can enjoy bottomless mimosas and free live music.

We will be open for regular hours, pending shows & events, Wednesday - Saturday for dinner & entertainment, and Saturday and Sunday for brunch. We will be open for select Mondays & Tuesdays, but otherwise closed without programming.

We're looking forward to welcoming you into one of the oldest and most unique dining and entertainment spaces that Denver has to offer!

When we arrived at 7pm for our reservation, the door was locked. They let us in and we were the only people in the restaurant and were the only people there when we left an hour later. Despite being the only patrons, the service was horrible. The menu is very limited now and not very diverse. Slices of pizza, burger, chicken sandwich, wings etc. Apparently they're under new ownership. The musical act was one of the worst things I've ever seen. It was all so bizarre. Will not be going back.

Overall a nice experience with one large disappointment. Food, cocktails and service were good. Noisy conversation at tables near us made it hard to hear my dining companion. Big disappointment was that the brunch musical entertainment was only provided by a DJ. From the restaurant's website description, I was expecting a live musician or band and made the booking with that understanding. I think the disclosure was inadequate and misleading.
