The night we came to Ophelia's was such a highlight of our weekend! We were in town celebrating my…read morefriend's bachelorette and bought tickets in advance to a 2000s dance party here. It was everything we wanted it to be and more. They checked our tix at the door along with IDs. It's a large space inside, they have coat check for $4. They have a lot of beer options, cocktails, and even mocktails and NA drinks. I got an NA cider that had a blueberry lime flavor and it was super delish. The DJ... the GFX on screen... the music. Everything was a 10/10. The DJ looked like he was having the time of his life and his energy was so infectious. One of the best DJs I've seen, I even said I hope I can get a DJ like this for my wedding one day because he was so so so fun. The crowd was having such a good time and so many people were dressed with the 2000s theme. The GFX on screen added to the night with hilarious 2000s throwbacks like Paint and WordArt. Plenty of space inside, there's an upstairs with tables and the bar and downstairs has more of a dance floor. Definitely recommend planning a night out here, you'll have so much fun!

I do prefer general admission where you're looking directly onto the stage they do accommodate with a large screen for people on the upper floor, but I prefer the experience on the stage level.

Lots of fun going on - great music, trivia, and of course great people watching. The two bartenders working seemed like fun dudes who were accustomed to the regulars as well as the "irregulars" such as myself. Great place. Give it a shot.

Yeah, I thought your mom's house was actually pretty good. It was not that crowded on the night. We…read morewent to see some bands that we really like. The sound was great, and we had very good sight lines. The drinks were not unreasonably priced, and the bartenders were really good. The same cannot be said for Pearl Divers next-door (where the bathrooms are). Those bartenders put an unauthorized tip (while we were still there and before we had closed out the) on my girlfriend's credit card that was more than the amount of entire bill. This is currently under dispute with the credit card company, but it does not speak well for their honesty, integrity, or customer service at Pearl Divers.

We were surprised with a "Fair Wage and Inflation Fee (this is not a tip) (20%)" line in our receipts, which let's be real, most of that or at least part of it is very likely going to the owner(s) not the staff. On top of that, I know quite a few musicians in Denver and almost every one that has worked with Your Mom's House has told me that they had issues with getting paid. Overall, it is a fun space but I can't support a business that operates this way.

This is a funky little dive bar on South Broadway that hosts local and traveling bands. We saw…read moreSummer Dean here recently and bought tickets ahead of time online. It's mostly standing room for shows, save for one or two small high top tables near the bar. Drinks are good and they have a decent cocktail list. I ordered a drink that had Jones Family gin. We came on a cold night, and it was chilly inside, so I'd suggest to dress warmly in the winter. Cash and card are accepted at the bar, and there is an ATM machine if needed. The restrooms are what you'd expect for a dive bar, so keep that in mind! Overall a cool place to see local shows and smaller travel acts.

The area surrounding the venue was alarming, with people harassing women and following guests…read more Several people in our group's cars were broken into in the parking lot the venue recommends, which is extremely concerning. Security was severely lacking, and the single "security guard" did little to make anyone feel safe. Mall cop presence... They also prohibit women from bringing pepper spray despite the obvious safety concerns in the area. I now understand why I was warned not to attend concerts here prior to attending. I sincerely hope they take security seriously before someone is seriously hurt here.

It's a dive bar. It's a comedy stage. It's a music powerhouse. What is Lion's Lair, if not iconic?!…read more If you're looking for a place that's all heart, loud and proud, it is HERE. Anybody who's come out of Colorado to become a big name has gone through those doors to play on the little stage. From local to traveling acts, from punk bands and karaoke talent to gritty stand-up and flirty burlesque, this place has it. If you're up for a night that doesn't stink of ordinary, swing through that creaky door and take in a most memorable evening. If there is a cover, it's usually nominal. Drinks are cheap, served by a great crew that's always up for a laugh and cheers. Sometimes hitting the town isn't about getting fancy but just kicking back, and this is a great place to do just that off the mainstream treads.

Great little dive bar on Colfax! Came here for the first time last night to see a DJ (or set of DJs…read moreI guess) that we like. The interior is small but I like how the bar is set up kind of in a rectangle so you're actually facing some other people (maybe awkward, but feels more communal?) They had an inexpensive menu of basic beers. They were out of the drink I wanted so the bartender made me a creation that I guess is something the doorman likes - not bad, and I think it was about $10 which is pretty decent for a mixed drink. I noticed a big red counter/clock on the wall across from us and after a few seconds we deduced it was a decibel meter. I'm curious if they have restrictions here for noise - AOK by me. The volume was generally alright (a little loud but what isn't?) and they actually had a sound guy in the corner making sure the volume and quality sounded good. Overall had a very decent Saturday night here.

Getting through security was easy. Venue seems new, clean, and spacious. I like that the GA area is bigger than just the floor where you have to stand for hours. The majority of the seating bowl has stadium-style seating. The benches are hard, but seat cushions are available for free. Lighting on stage was rather dark, but I assume that was for the performer, not because of the venue. I'll definitely be back.

When we arrived, a small bouquet of flowers awaited us at our table. We had floor seating and enjoyed the music and the food. There was a 3 course menu that we chose from: started with the strawberry salad and peach glazed pork belly paired with grapefruit fizz mocktails. We both chose the seared halibut as our entree, and dessert was the chocolate stout cake and coconut panna cotta. WOW. That coconut panna cotta was absolutely one of the best desserts I've had. It was light and wonderful, perfect way to end the meal. I would definitely come back here in the future, it can be hard to find intimate setting restaurants in Denver and even fewer with wonderful live music. This place hit the spot.

Salmon - perfectly cooked 10/10 Duck confit - recommend (a little kick but must try, I promise) 10/10 Korean fried chicken - ufff delish 10/10 Dessert: Banana Tart? - Mm hmm that was my fave - there is a sesame crisp I believe that was excellent on that dessert. Tried to get everything - recommend. :) you will enjoy a beautiful night with good food and great music.

The venue is very old, I think it's over a hundred years old or something like that, and it shows but I think it adds character. The sound quality there is good for how old it is at least for metal shows. The venue is consistently oversold to the point where the last few shows I went to, I was watching from the entrance area. The smoking area is also way too small. It's always shoulder to shoulder there. The parking there is always a pain. There is street parking but you have to get there at least an hour early to find anything around the venue. Otherwise, you'll be paying an arm and a leg for paid lot parking. This isn't the fault of the venue itself though. I am sure I will be back at the Ogden Theatre and hopefully they make some changes to enhance the show experience.

There was no way to move around to either go to the bathroom or to the bar. The staff was rude and kept telling us to move but there was literally now where to move to since we were sandwiched by the crowd. I would probably think twice before coming to an event in this venue in the future.
