River North Brewery - RiNo Taproom — Restaurant in Denver

Unfortunately I just had the worst experience at this brewery. Bar tender was ok but talked to my friend who is white way more than he talked with me. Both my friend and I felt incredibly uncomfortable being there after about 5 minutes. Then a customer who was seated at the bar close to us would not stop staring us down as though he wanted us to leave. He then began making off colored comments to me to the point that the bar tender started asking what was wrong. I had no clue cause I was not talking to the customer. It was the worst experience I have endured in a while. Needless to say we got up and left. Sad state when the color of my skin made me not welcome in this brewery. As we grabbed our coats the bar tender did apologize for what he had seen and heard. Almost treated as through that’s how that regular was cause he apologized for him. I am more sad that this still happen then mad.

Thank you for reaching out and giving me your email. I look forward...

Nice place. Some outside seating on two sides of the place. The inside has two seating areas. One space shares the space with a small brew house system. The other was much larger and also had games for people to share. Bottles and cans also available for to go purchase. Parking might be an issue but what business down in that area doesn’t have this problem. Not far away is a parking garage what advertised $5 a day parking for weekends. Also near buy is a park and ride. A bit of a walk but then you can work off some of your beer drinking. They had a food truck there when we stopped by but they left a bit early but still a lot of food options...

Craft beer excellence. That's this brewery in a nutshell. They serve some of the most eclectic, unique brews in the city and they don't conserve on gravity beers that are larger than life upon sipping.

Inside you'll be greeted by the micro stills, garage doors that leave plenty of sunshine in, patio with 4 bench tables, and a side room for private events. The staff is knowledgeable and inviting.

Here I tried the 10.3% chocolate black barleywine, known as the Celestial Death. The nose literally smelled like Cocoa Puffs. Mouthfeel and finish was very smooth and malty, expressing out as a wheaty flair of raisin, coconut, and plenty of cocoa....
