Wow, what an incredible evening in Denver, Colorado!
We started at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row for a pre-dinner cocktail. Cheers!
We then took a chilly evening stroll to Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox for dinner. Our server told us the building was once a brothel. Totally cool, right? The art throughout was on the provocative side, but tasteful and cheeky. The two tiered music hall showcased the band. We were there early so we only heard the sound check, but that told us all we needed to know about the venue. We ordered the plantains, Brussels sprouts and, of course, the brothel chicken sandwich. The food was fantastic!
We decided to keep this urban safari going a bit longer, so we held off on having dessert at Ophelia’s. Instead we decided to go to VooDoo Donuts. This was a first for us. As we walked to the car there was an A-frame sign shouting pickle shots. Ah, hell yeah! The Retro Room specializes in them. They had pickle and pepper infused liquor all along the bar. This was too unique to pass by.
After a short detour it was time to get our VooDoo on. Oh my God! You can smell them a block away. The unique flavors were hard to choose from. But we narrowed it down to Diablos Rex, Grape Ape, Voodoo Doll, and their famous, maple bacon bar. Yum!
Voodoo was the perfect way to end this delicious Denver urban safari.
