What To Expect

RiNo Art District

The River North Art District "where art is made" goes by the nickname of "RiNo" and has even adopted a rhino design for its official logo, so look for creative rhinos in art and signage all around the neighborhood! The district's interesting blend of urban charm and unique industrial revival makes it a great destination for visitors. Historic warehouses and factories now house jazz bars, restaurants, brewpubs, art galleries and working studios. RiNo boasts a diverse mix of creative businesses ranging from visual artists, designers and furniture makers, to craft distillers and brewers, winemakers, creators of unique outdoor gear and small-batch coffee roasters.

Two of us enjoyed this tour mostly due to Austin's amazing handling of the tour! We were a small group overall, so there was plenty of plenty of time to ask questions and Austin was SO knowledgeable. He had amazing stories about Denver, RiNo, and all of the restaurants that we visited. This was a fun afternoon and a great way to try some new restaurants in Denver.

First of all I'm a big foodie so to say I was excited about this is an understatement -and I was not disappointed! The stand out part wasn't even the "Best Fried Chicken Ever" (not an opinion, a fact!) but it was Austin - the tour guide that went above and beyond. His knowledge of the area & enthusiasm is phenomenal! And yes, you will be treated to some amazing bites as you walk around and explore art and the area. This couldn't have been a more perfect day for a foodie/art & history lover like me. The overall portions are like that of a 'substantial lunch', which just leaves you wanting more. We can't wait to sample more of those places that were on our tour and along the route. I just hope we get as fantastic a guide on our next outing. Upgrade for the drink package, they have a couple of options so it’s worth it!
