Ophelia’s restaurant, bar, and live music venue-launched in 2015-knows how to throw down. The décor pays homage to the building’s history and evokes an atmosphere of indulgence.
The design aesthetic for Ophelia’s interior is inspired by vintage finds collected by Cucci over time, from the stage’s sex show booths and a backdrop festooned with 500 transistor radios, to the bars’ classic pinball machine tops and 400 Jager bottles. Its 1890s-era Victorian brownstone, the Airedale Building, once housed a brothel and peep show Ophelia’s flaunts its sultry origins in a playful style that also celebrates sexuality. Like the other five restaurants in Cucci’s acclaimed Edible Beats family, Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox honors the historical use of its space. This revamped menu reflects Cucci’s commitment to vegetable-forward healthful dishes, global flavors, and sustainability practices.The bar also features bright handcrafted cocktails with local ingredients, bottles from around the world, and a 24-tap draft line of all-Colorado beers. New menu items include fried pickles with cheese curds, pastrami double-fried wings that “won’t give you wing fingers,” says Cucci, and the exciting Bong & a Blintz, or cheese-stuffed crepe, infused with CBD.
