Mere mortals rarely enjoy the lavish, multi-course meals typical of the six queens in SIX, but the DCPA’s restaurant partners have mouth-watering dishes to die for.

CHAMPAGNE TIGER

601 E. Colfax Ave. • 303.942.0593
Open Wednesday – Sunday • Hours Vary

On your non-theatre days, you can enjoy live piano music (Wednesdays), Fried Chicken & Song (Thursdays), and Martini Lunches (Fridays — who needs to go back to work after all), while Sunday boasts the most luxurious Drag Queen Brunch in the city.

RANGE

918 17^th St. • 720.726.4800
Open 7 days a week • Hours vary

Eating at range gives you a fresh taste of everything Colorado. This New American West restaurant uses locally sourced ingredients paired with Western influence to serve up entrées that will have you asking for more. But be sure to save space for a beverage perfectly matched to your meal with a selection that has been recognized with Wine Spectator‘s 2025 Award of Excellence. From Smoked Trout and Colorado Striped Bass to Bison Brisket and Elk Tenderloin, the menu is only matched by the wine…and the free valet parking at the Renaissance Denver Downtown Hotel.

PERK! DCPA patrons receive complimentary dessert with entrée purchase.

RIOJA

1431 Larimer St. • 303.820.2282
Open 7 days a week • Hours vary

Helmed by Jennifer Jasinski — James Beard Foundation Best Chef Southwest, Rioja brings crowds to Denver’s Historic Larimer Square for her Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. A pre-theatre dinner might include the Prickly Pear Agua Chile to start, followed by Chef Jen’s Artichoke Tortelloni (available as an appetizer or entrée), and the Grilled Barramundi with fingerling potatoes, cauliflower, plum compote, and smoked trout roe. But don’t run off too quickly (unless you need to get to the show on time) because you’ll want to save room for a warm Fig Beignet, Apple Cider Mousse Torte, (and) or the Brie and Taleggio Cheesecake.

PERK! DCPA patrons receive a glass of Rioja’s proprietary Barcino C3 Cava and all guests receive valet parking for lunch and dinner.

STK STEAKHOUSE

1550 Market St. • 720.597.8010
Open 7 days a week • Hours vary

Far from your typical steak and potatoes, Chef Eliab Rodriguez dishes up an extraordinary gastrointestinal feast. He will serve a 28-ounce dry aged-Porterhouse steak complemented by Sweet Corn Pudding, Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes, or Mushroom Pot Pie. But red meat isn’t all that’s on the menu. STK features a raw bar with Oysters on the Half Shell, Ceviche, Caviar, King Crab, and Shrimp as well as entrées that pair surf and turf including lobster and prawns. After all that deliciousness, he hopes you saved room for a Bag O’ Donuts with flavors including cinammon sugar, dulce de leche, raspberry, and chocolate. Just don’t eat so much that you sleep through the show!

PERK! DCPA patrons receive complimentary parking and 20% off the bill.
