Champagne Tiger

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

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 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!!

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.

Have been wanting to experience this place since they opened and every moment lived up to every expectation I had. Fantastic staff, food, amazing beverages, entertainment, great service and genuine hospitality 💕

Loooooove this brunch spot and will definitely be coming here again soon. Big fan of how open and fun Champagne Tiger is. Easy to reserve a spot online and can also do walk in. Lots of different types of seating and also good for large groups (we had a party of 8). The decor is also so cute (love that tiger carpet). The food and drinks are also really good. So glad I could order a cold brew and that there were lots of non-alcoholic options too. I also got a Bloody Mary and it was perfect (shout out for the yummy pickles that came with it). Topped it off with a sherbet sour beer, which was tasty. For food - loved the French Classic Omelette. Anything Boursin is a yes for me. I subbed out the potatoes with fried green tomatoes - so good. I heard Champagne Tiger also has an amazing happy hour, so will be checking that out soon.

Hands down my fav brunch spot in Denver. This bright and vibrant diner brings old school nostalgia with a colorful twist! The service was perfect, we got seated inside but they also have a big outdoor seating area. We got good recommendations from the staff on what to order. They also do drag brunches frequently, and they have a super inclusive and friendly atmosphere. I especially enjoyed their eggs Benedict. It was definitely one of my top 3! Highly recommend!

We went for the Sat drag brunch. It was SO FUN. I'd give the brunch food 3.5 stars, but the drinks were amazing. Fantastic service. The decor of the restaurant is so cool. They did not skip a detail renovating the restaurant. I will absolutely be back to try the non-brunch menu.

Sunday Drag Brunch is amazing! Delicious food, amazing drinks and the best entertainment! Highly recommend the BLTA Burger and the BLTA Salad! Amazing service and the best vibes!

Tiger Champagne is one of my new favorite restaurants in Denver. This spot used to be Tom's Diner (which I never visited) and it's quite clear this place has the same diner skeletal structure. One key point is that there's a parking lot!! My friend and I spent forever trying to find a non-sketchy street spot, then the host told us we could have parked behind the building. We shared a Caesar Salad, which is the menu item that drew us into making a reservation here. I ordered the Truffle Mushroom Linguine - their pasta dish on the menu seems to rotate which is super special - and Dirty Martini. Both things were phenomenal! My mouth is salivating just thinking about eating here again. It's so charming and buttoned up. I love it!!

We went here for Bookclub on Friday night and it was so fun!! Our server Emily was fabulous!!! The food was great, the cocktails were great! I love an actual Old Fashion and it wasn't on the menu but they made me a delicious one. The ambience and music was perfect. We will be back!

I had such an amazing time at Champagne Tiger's Piano and Pasta recently. Every week they have a special pasta that they make for the evening to enjoy while you watch a live singing performance by Anastasia Krystals with a piano accompaniment from Buddy Bravo. The week I went they had a browned butter pumpkin sage fettucine and it was TO DIE FOR! I have still been dreaming about this pasta because it was so good! I also want to call out that the menu has quite a few mocktails for those who are sober or sober curious. I actually got a tea-based mocktail and it was FANTASTIC. I really enjoyed being able to have a fancy drink while choosing not to drink. They are as expensive as the alcoholic drinks though, so proceed with caution. Our server always made sure we had everything we needed too including numerous drink checks. The only downside is that the area around can be a little rough. I recommend maybe taking a rideshare in to avoid having to walk around the area if that is bothersome.

I went here for an event tonight, and I WAS SO IMPRESSED!! You would never know this used to be a divey diner on Colfax!!! They have done amazing things with the space. The outdoor patio was by my far my favorite! It was super serene with fountains and private seating areas- you would never know it was right on Colfax! The drinks were spectacular and the food was yummy! The service was also top notch! I will be back!!!

The brunch & The show were Fabulous This last Sunday, we came from San Diego and the show was definitely so different this time. The Baby Stud King was so amazing, she won over the crowd and definitely caught the lady's attention. All the queens did a fantastic job putting on this event, but that tall glass of chocolate milk was the best act !!! You don't see Stud kings at brunch, everyone has drag queens so for this restaurant to bring something new with flavor is the best move any brunch spot can make can make. Good job with changing the brunch game Champagne Tiger, we will be back in March for a bridal shower. So please bring Old school Back! The food was delicious the owner was also a doll, Chris bring back old school !!! Sorry it won't let me share our food, but we had the Caviar Ashtray with the mom salad and 2 cocktails.

From the entrance art, to the staff and definitely the food...this place was amazing! The back patio is a great place to eat dinner with all the charms of a Palm Springs diner, just in the heart of Denver. We had the Steak Tartare, Mom Salad and the Ceasar which were all excellent! If there was any constructive feedback I'd give considering we visited the first week they were open would be the salads were a little over-dressed. Everything about them was 100% tasty, just needed a little less dressing. For the main we split a mustard chicken which was ABSOLUTELY worth the wait. Plan ahead, have a cocktail and wait for some of the best chicken I've had in the US. It's cooked perfectly, and it does come with a salad that could stand a little bit less of the amazing vinaigrette that it came with, but otherwise 10 out of 10 would eat that again. Can't say that I would make a trip to Denver just to eat here, but I 100% would go out of my way to have dinner here next time I'm in town. Keep up the good work!

Incredible food and amazing service! Every time we visit, the owners personally take the time to check in, which makes the experience even more special. The quality of the food is consistently top-tier--fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. A must-visit spot!

Very wonderful restaurant on Colfax just east of the state capital right near lots of bars and other venues. We made a reservation on the Tock app and stopped in for dinner after hearing it was really good. This place opened last August. Our server, Alayna, was great, and the food was delicious. My husband had the French omelette that came with a salad and he had some happy hour oysters before that. I had the burger and fries. For dessert we had the chocolate pot de crème - yuuuuum!! Everything was delicious and the owner even stopped over at our table to say hello. Very great food and service and would highly recommend this place.

This place is fantastic. It looks beautiful in there now, it's such a cool spot right on the fax to watch the world go by and enjoy a cocktail. Super nice folks, great vibe. We had cocktails, burgers, french onion dip, and the pasta special and everything was amazing. Great happy hour too!

So much fun! So happy to have CT in our community! Excellent, fun staff, great food and drink. Relaxing patio (amazing patio)!

AMAZING food and the live music is everything makesure when you come to denver you BETTER come to Champagne Tiger vibes are AWSOME!! The service was FAST but the restaurant wasn't very busy.

Ambiance is good, burgers and fries were good. The salad I ordered (Mom salad) had wilted lettuce, too much dressing and way too overpriced for what it was.

The staff was friendly, the ambiance is cool and the food is innovative and yummy. We went there before a concert at The Fillmore. It was super convenient.

Great spot, I'll definitely be back. I tried the steak and fries - cooked perfectly with a great sauce accompanying it.

Fun time at CT. The owner stopped by our table and the whole team makes you feel welcomed. The menu has a little something for everyone and it's all really delicious. From oysters, steak frites to a simple BLT everything we had was great. They have live piano on Wednesdays and I hear a drag brunch not to miss. Check it out.

The drinks cost double compared to their competitors on Colfax and they measure the pours (one tiny jigger for a vodka and soda). For this reason alone I cannot recommend going here.

Love Champagne Tiger! The food is delicious and the menu has something for everyone, the burgers and fries are They have a great cocktail menu and interesting wines, and the place has such a fun vibe with a huge outdoor patio you'll never want to leave. We'll definitely be back!

Drag brunch is a hoot!! Breakfast BLT was very tasty. Friendly and grateful staff and entertainers.

Interning addition and a great one at that. Great location . Fun Brunch and Dinner spot.

What an awesome addition to the Denver food scene! The vibe in this chic diner is too cool, playing great jams and offering a unique menu. We loved the French Onion Dip to start and the Roasted Mustard Chicken. Super thoughtful cocktail options and a rad backyard patio that has Sunday Funday written all over it. Can't wait to go back for Drag Brunch!
