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.

We had a great tour of the RiNo district today with Austin. He is very knowledgeable about the neighborhood, the artists, and the Denver food scene in general. (Tip: Go early in your trip if you want restaurant recommendations for the rest of the trip). There was not too much walking, as the neighborhood is fairly compact. The food was delicious and varied. We had seen an earlier review suggesting that portion sizes were small and disappointing given the price of the tour. That was not our experience at all, and we were quite full from the small plates with generous portion sizes. We did not do the alcohol add on but did some a la carte drinking. In all, this was a very enjoyable experience, as good as other food tours we’ve taken elsewhere, and well worth it.
