Ophelia's Electric Soapbox

From the creative force behind Linger and Root Down, Ophelia's Electric Soapbox features an excellent full-service restaurant and a dance floor. Typically there's music Thursday through Saturday evenings and during Sunday brunch, but occasionally on week nights as well so check the schedule. Ophelia's occupies a space management calls a "gastro-brothel" with "boudoir-style" décor, a flirty wink and nod to the building's past as a bordello, flophouse and peep-show parlor over its more than 100-year history. Both food and music headline here. Like Linger and Root Down, Ophelia's menus are vegetable-forward but by no means vegetarian only. Most shows start between 9 and 10 p.m., and many dining reservation made after 9 p.m. on show nights will include a ticket charge. Reservations are highly recommended for pre-show dinners, and if you plan to eat and enjoy the show, let reservation staff know so you can be seated accordingly.
