"Wealthy Oysters from Cape Cod, Massachusetts," Chris Donato, Owner of Champagne Tiger said. "They are salty and briney. They are medium and small size. They are really delicious. You also have to try our Mortadella Melt. It is made with Tempesta Mortadella from Chicago. It is a rich and decadent sandwich."

With each meal, it is designed to give you a flavorful experience.

"I hope you get a sense of nostalgia for the food," Josh Hood, Chef for Champagne Tiger. "Hopefully, it hits some sort of points of your inner childhood, where you are coming from or local things that are special to Denver."

While you enjoy a meal, you can enjoy a show. They have pasta and piano nights every Wednesday, fried chicken and jazz nights every Thursday, and drag brunch every Sunday. This space is welcome to everyone. 

 "It is a celebratory, joyous atmosphere that kind of celebrates the queer community," Donato said. "Everybody is invited. The food kind of matches the amazing nature of the show."
