Ryan Horne+FollowDenver’s next big food adventure: MaizeAn 8-seat restaurant with an 18-course Mexican tasting menu is coming to RiNo, led by Michelin-starred chefs Johnny and Kasie Curiel. What’s wild is they’re taking masa—corn dough—to a whole new level, sourcing heritage corn grown near Boulder and nixtamalizing it in-house, just like it’s been done for thousands of years. Guests will move from a cold counter to a fermentation room, ending at a hot counter for masa-based dishes. With only eight guests at a time, this feels more like an intimate dinner party than a typical night out. Would you try it? #Food #DenverEats #RiNo00Share
Michael Morgan+FollowHopscotch Beer Garden set to energize RiNoA huge new hangout is coming to the River North Art District: Hopscotch Beer Garden will open at Denargo Market in late winter 2026, finally giving nearby residents a walkable spot for drinks, food trucks, and community events. With over 17,000 square feet of bar and patio space, plus a turf field for lawn games and dog-friendly vibes, this place is designed to be the neighborhood’s social hub. Imagine weekly trivia, happy hours, and bike-in movie nights—all right in your backyard. How do you think Hopscotch will change the RiNo community scene? #Food #Denver #RiNo00Share
Robert Daniels+FollowItalian flavors coming to RiNo soonDenver’s food scene is about to get a serious upgrade—Dear Emilia, from the Michelin-recognized team behind Restaurant Olivia, is opening in RiNo next January. This spot is all about the heart of northern Italy: think Parmigiano Reggiano, balsamico, fresh pasta, and prosciutto, but with a Colorado twist. The team has spent years traveling Emilia Romagna, learning from local producers, and now they’re blending those traditions with local ingredients like Boulder beef and Colorado trout. The vibe promises to be warm and welcoming, with a kitchen you can watch in action. Who’s excited to see how Denver’s local flavors meet Italian classics? #Food #DenverEats #RiNo00Share
