Ophelia's Electric Soapbox
A former peep-show building turned two-level supper club and music room in the Ballpark.
Justin Cucci opened Ophelia's in April 2015 in a building at 20th and Lawrence that had been an adult bookstore and peep show, and called it a gastro-brothel: red velvet, a mezzanine, dinner served during shows. It closed for two years in the pandemic, reopened in 2022, and was sold in 2024 to a longtime regular, Sam Pirritt, who relaunched it that October with the Flobots and pushed it further toward a ticketed live-music venue on the Ticketmaster and AXS calendars. Food and cocktails still run on show nights. Two blocks from Coors Field.
Why go. A national or local act in a small, strange, good-looking room, with dinner at your table.
Buy tickets ahead; the mezzanine tables give the best sightline and go first.
