The business, formally known as a \u201cmarijuana hospitality\u201d establishment, is similar to a bar or restaurant, except that pot is on the menu.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2025\/01\/27\/cirrus-social-club-marijuana-hospitality-cannabis-club-denver-colfax-opening\/\">On a mission to reinvent Denver\u2019s nightlife scene<\/a>, founder Arend Richard created a space to cater to tokers instead of drinkers, and it\u2019s been a long time coming. Cirrus Social Club was supposed to open in March after two-plus years of planning and development. Getting its final permits approved by the city took longer than expected, but Richard is thrilled to finally be able to welcome the public.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7097905\" class=\"wp-caption alignright size-article_inline_half\"><img class=\"lazyautosizes lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/peek-inside-denvers-new-cannabis-club-now-serving-marijuana-and-munchies.jpg\" alt=\"Grace Neville, a staff member known as a &quot;flight attendant,&quot; inflates bags with cannabis smoke to serve to guests during the grand opening of Cirrus Social Club, a cannabis lounge in Denver, April 18, 2025.

(Photo by Kevin Mohatt\/Special to The Denver Post)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cFinally getting to see the smiling faces of our guests enjoying Cirrus, and the team members loving the work that they do, feels like I won the lottery. I am so grateful for this idea and this opportunity to bring a new type of sesh to the world,\u201d Richard said by email.<\/p>\n<p>Guests who booked a table at Cirrus Social Club, at 3200 E. Colfax Ave, during opening weekend gained access to a prix fixe menu of marijuana and munchies, coursed out like they might be at an upscale restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>The experience started with an amuse-bouche of gummies, followed up by a vaporized volcano bag of weed, charcuterie, more cannabis by bong, and other shareable, \u201celevated munchies.\u201d That included items like house-made bagel bites and peanut-butter-and-jelly-and-Cheetos finger sandwiches. Ice cream sundaes for dessert rounded out the meal.<\/p>\n<p>While the prix fixe menu was a limited time special, Richard said all the same items will be available a la carte for future patrons.<\/p>\n<p>Portland residents Nathan Howard and Lisa Snyder, who flew to Denver specifically for the Cirrus Social Club opening, said they\u2019d never seen a concept quite like it before. Similar public spaces where friends can gather to smoke weed are few and far between in Oregon. Seeing the plant normalized in such a setting was \u201ca total trip,\u201d Howard said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea of being able to go out and see your friends and have one common experience around this plant, it was super cool,\u201d he said. \u201cWhere will we be in a couple of centuries if this continues? It makes me very excited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Plus, the venue itself is beautiful, Snyder added. Richard worked with Denver designer Miranda Cullen of Inside Stories to create an environment inspired by a 1920s New York City hotel restaurant. Not your average basement smoke circle, the venue includes floral decor, swanky chandeliers and a self-playing, pink piano that anchors the space.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"related right\"> <\/aside>\n<p>Beyond the aesthetic, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly, Snyder said. The cannabis menu skews on the strong side, but guests control how much they consume, she said, which adds a level of comfort to the experience.<\/p>\n<p>Servers, known at Cirrus as flight attendants, \u201ccome out with these beautiful trays with live edges and crystal glasses with cannabis in them that you can smell,\u201d Snyder said. \u201cThat was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Snyder is a marijuana advocate who has visited many lounges across the country, organizing events for a female-focused group she co-founded called <a href=\"https:\/\/tokeativity.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tokeativity<\/a>. Comparatively, Cirrus Social Club is \u201ca one-of-a-kind place,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Take a virtual tour of Cirrus Social Club below.
