Best Places for a RiNo Bar Crawl

Adventurous by-the-glass program with a strong focus on natural and lesser-known European producers.

3563 Wazee St — RiNo. Dinner parties at table scale; groups of 15+ booked through the venue's events contact. Guided group tastings are published for parties of 12+: Folly 5 guided tasting $24/person, Signature Tasting $39/person, Blind Tasting + Trivia $29/person — confirm current pricing when booking. A working winery in an 1886 warehouse with 30-foot ceilings — the dinner that feels like an event before anyone orders. House wines on tap, shareable plates, and a room that makes a party of twelve look like a magazine spread. For the bride who wants a celebration with candlelight instead of club lights, Bigsby's is the dinner anchor: wine made steps from the table, a blind-tasting game that turns the group competitive in the friendliest way, and a warehouse room that does all the decorating.

The legendary New York cocktail temple set up shop inside the Ramble Hotel with three distinct spaces: a moody front bar for walk-ins, a reservation-only back room with velvet banquettes, and the Garden for something brighter. Book the back room for an anniversary or impress-the-visitors moment, or slide into the front bar around 9 PM when the energy picks up.

The rotating cocktail list comes from one of Denver's most-decorated bar teams, and the sprawling garden patio is the real draw—shaded, strung with lights, and built for long evenings. Post up here on warm nights when you want serious drinks without the stuffiness, or bring a date who appreciates a well-made Negroni variation and somewhere pretty to sip it.

1215 20th St — LoDo / Ballpark edge. Group dining at table scale any night it's open; private events and full buyouts up to 500 guests with exclusive use of both levels, the patio, the dance floor, and both bars. Menu dining listed at $30 and under per person; private-event pricing is quote-based. Dinner and the night out are the same reservation — a multilevel former brothel turned supper club, with live music most nights, a dance floor downstairs, and a boudoir vibe that matches the assignment. Dinner Wed–Sat 5–11 PM; weekend brunch Sat–Sun 10 AM–2 PM. Ophelia's solves the bachelorette's deadliest logistics problem — the gap between dinner and dancing where groups scatter — by deleting it. Eat upstairs, drift downstairs as the band starts, and the night escalates without a single rideshare.

The skate-punk ethos shows up in the murals, the loud speakers on the patio, and a tap list that skews West Coast hoppy with a few accessible entry points like Antidote Golden. Come with your dog and a crew who'd rather drink under string lights with a soundtrack than have a quiet conversation.

Experience Mockingbird. Denver’s immersive art lounge in the heart of RiNo. Cocktails, live DJs, and creative nights Wednesday through Sunday.
