Ophelia's Electric Soapbox

Denver


Located in a converted brothel, this is Denver's sexiest live-music cool-vibes lounge. The food served in seats overlooking the stage and dance floor on the two-story historic building that's been entertaining guests one way or another for a hundred years is fantastic. There is live music, DJs and dancing almost every night.

It's funky, weird, fun and outrageously original.
