Welcome to River North
The art capital of Denver.
River North is Denver's latest up-and-coming neighborhood. This hip enclave has a strong focus on reclaiming its existing structures to create a modern look while still maintaining its classic charm and personality. Most buildings in River North are old warehouses that have been turned into art galleries, restaurants, shopping areas, and event venues. The reclaimed warehouse spaces around RiNo have provided a new lease of life to the neighborhood as artists have taken up the challenge of giving the area a new, fresh look. You’ll find colorful murals and endearing graffiti art around RiNo as artists showcase their talents by recreating popular images and abstract art onto the sides of old buildings around the neighborhood.
River North is part of Denver's Five Points, a multicultural hub with an expansive range of popular bars, eateries, and galleries. The area is close to fellow micro-communities like Ballpark and Curtis Park, as well as cultural hotspots like the Roxy Theatre and Cervantes’ Masterpiece Ballroom.
