What a fabulous spot! We came for holiday drag,
this is a class act place with Denver culture galore. Our server Daniel and associates are amazing and the food is so good I broke tradition. I ate it so fast I didn’t get photos it was that good. All made in house. The veggie quiche was delicious. The bar is fully stocked with every drink you can ask for. We highly recommend this unique space. Happy holidays everyone 😉

Omg the food is sooo good (I had the waffle and duck confit). Excellent service and atmosphere. And, of course, DRAG BRUNCH!
Even with all the crazy Colfax construction, it’s an oasis. Especially that huge back patio spot! Bonus, they have a few parking spots tucked off the side street

One of the best spots in Denver!!! The food was pure perfection elevated classics with creative twists. The entire place is welcoming, comfortable and feels like you’re stepping into a perfectly renovated midcentury diner. We can’t wait to come back! Amazing cocktails and wine too. I’m still dreaming about this meal Allow just a few minutes to find parking, but we were able to park in a paid lot just a block away.

I just had a quick brunch – this diner is really cute!
The experience is very carefully designed – even just walking in there was a subtle waft of fresh eucalyptus. Attention has been paid to match absolutely everything in the dining area and bar to the overall aesthetic: a charming gold-and-pearl, 1960’s beach club feeling, executed in a way that is self aware and tasteful, rather than gaudy. There’s also a private dining space where you can schedule to bring your inner circle for a bespoke prix fixe (consultation with the chef on dietary constraints is available). I definitely recommend wearing chic casual (if only for the fun of it), rather than jorts and T-shirts.
That said, nobody will give you a sidelong glance if you don’t happen to be dressed to impress. Everyone is so nice! The staff were very engaged and helpful, and everyone seemed so happy. Thanks John!
The patio is unique in Denver, as far as I know. It’s a really big space, but it’s sort of intentionally partitioned into little conversational clusters, so it blends intimate copses with open spaces in a cool way. There’s even a sort of natural central “stage” space on the West end of the patio, and a full outdoor bar. Plus, we can access almost everywhere easily with ramps.
There are just a few select vegan options on the menu, but you can tell that these dishes were carefully considered. I would actually consider the Vegan Cashew Sando a flagship dish in terms of local vegan highlights, and I’m eager to try the vegan options on some of the dinner entrees.
I can’t wait to return for a movie night (on select Thursday evenings) a drag brunch (every Sunday!) or maybe even a Wednesday for live piano. There’s even a Sapphic Saturday event each month. Champagne Tiger is really doing a great job of recognizing the strength of character in our Lavender Hill neighborhood, and offering a space that is both inclusive and elevated

This place was so cute! We got the Caesar salad fries and the seasonal Twinkie. There was a topping on the Twinkie that tasted a little bit burnt, but the salad and fries were great! Also loved all the drinks we got!!

Oh my! Let me tell you how we found this place! I was really craving Pho, so I found a restaurant with great reviews and when we got there at 6:30, they were already closed! So we started walking to another restaurant and it looked a little sketchy so we saw the Champagne Tiger across the street and it was packed so we decided to try it out.
It was the best. Daniel was our first waiter and he gave us suggestions for drinks. I got the Princetonian and my husband got a margarita. He got some oysters and we ordered dinner. He got the Mustard Roasted Chicken and I got the Steak and Fries. Both amazing meals. You can tell the care that they take with their food. We spent some time talking with the owner, Chris, and then we got a new waiter, Aaron, as Daniel was leaving as he had been there all day. We ordered dessert, Chocolate Pot de Cream and it was so delicious! You can taste the richness of the chocolate that it was made with. We will definitely make this a regular dining spot when we are in Denver.

This was our second visit, and it was just as fantastic as the first. The drag queens are an absolute delight, fun, charismatic, and clearly passionate about what they do. Their energy sets the tone for an unforgettable experience.
The staff who greet and seat guests are always engaging and genuinely attentive, making sure everyone feels taken care of from the moment they walk in. What really stood out to us is how welcoming the entire atmosphere is. In a community where things can sometimes feel pretentious or cliquish, Champagne Tiger was the complete opposite. Everyone felt included, appreciated, and part of the fun.
The food is well prepared and delicious, but the true highlight is the environment and the show. It’s a place that radiates joy, warmth, and celebration.
We’ll absolutely be back. Champagne Tiger knows how to create an experience you want to relive again and again.

Always a great time. Wonderful food, service, music and vibes. I bought the t-shirt. I own the mug. I bring all my friends here. Drag brunch is amazing. It’s just the best local spot, that’s why they know my name and I’m there pretty much every month. What are you waiting for? Get over there!

We had an incredible dinner at Champagne Tiger before a concert at the Fillmore. I would recommend making a reservation because it was bumping. The atmosphere and vibe is incredible and the food and drinks were delicious, literally no notes. It was also super queer-friendly and safe!
When we arrived, our table wasn’t ready for a while due to a large party moving very slowly and the owners were incredibly kind, give us a round a free drink drinks, and checked in on us constantly. We will be back many times!
