The River North Art District, more commonly called RiNo, isn’t very big — about a mile-long stretch carved out of Five Points northeast of Ballpark. But it’s made an outsized impact on Denver’s social scene over the past several years: Lined with converted warehouses and covered from sidewalk to rooftop with some of the city’s best street art, it boasts everything from massive indoor-outdoor entertainment venues with multiple bars and food vendors, like Improper City and Number Thirty Eight, to breweries galore (including Black Shirt and Ratio) to, of course, first-class restaurants.
Excluding bars and coffee shops, the following 20 dining options, ordered geographically from north to south, capture a moment in time for the ever-changing district. Have another favorite RiNo spot? Send us a tip.
