Denver RiNo Food, Fun and Drink Guide
Food scene
The Denver Central Market is really cool place to get a taste of the variety the city has to offer. Multiple small restaurants, a coffee shop, an ice cream shop, and a bakery are just some of the offerings at Central Market. Right outside, the alleys and parking lots nearby are ground zero for the Crush Walls festival responsible for much of the mural art in the neighborhood!

Great for watching the game, enjoying the patio, or just to get a solid burger at a decent price. They have a lot of local beer and spirits available, and it's on the more affordable end of the food options in the area.

The food and the view are unbeatable in Denver! This is technically not in our neighborhood, but it is certainly worth the $12 Uber to check it out. We went for the first time recently and were totally blown away by the entire experience.

Microbrewery
Spot for beers that represent their format well and a few interesting twists. Great events like comedy night, concerts, and firken tapping, where they open a special small keg that isn't on the normal offerings. The patio is one of the best spots to enjoy summer in Denver!

Huge selection of beers on tap. Patio space with frequent food truck rotation parked in front. Indoor space is very large for a brewery, so good for bigger groups. Offers tours of their brewing and bottling facilities for true aficionados.

Odell started in Ft. Collins originally, but they put great effort into building an authentic, appealing location right in the heart of RiNo. They are an employee co-op, so all tips go to charity, and all employees earn a living wage. Great rooftop and ground level patios and local art on display. So close to our place!

Blue Moon started within Coors Field, but recently expanded to a RiNo location where they offer full food menu and a wide selection of their experimental beer offerings. Very high-end decor and more family-friendly than most RiNo microbreweries.

Breakfast
These bagels are the best. They somehow figured out how to make their water like NYC water (strange to think that's a good thing), and the result is the best bagels west of the Mississippi.

There are quite a few locations now, but Snooze started in Denver and is the quintessential Denver brunch spot. There's always a line from 9:30-noon on the weekends, but that's because it's that good. They pay fair wages and source local, sustainable ingredients. Free coffee while you wait and there are usually lawn games to play out in front.
