Though an urban winery first and foremost, Bigsby’s charms are broad enough to be lost on no one. The renovated, brick-walled factory space is gorgeously appointed with chandeliers and parlor furnishings as well as flanked by two dog-friendly patios. The full bar ensures that even non-enophiles get their fill. And the food is unexpectedly thoughtful, going beyond the standard bar snacks and charcuterie boards to include dishes like gigante bean–quinoa salad, pea-mascarpone risotto with almond crumble, and green chile–chicken nachos with lime crema and tomato relish.

The aptly named Source put RiNo on the map when it opened in 2013, and though it has undergone numerous changes over the years, it remains a wellspring of major culinary talent; in fact, it may be the best version of itself right now. While Alon Shaya’s contemporary Israeli sensation Safta, modern Mexican draw Bellota, the Kizaki brothers’ Temaki Den, and Reunion Bread Co. are destinations unto themselves, the market hall and hotel also house Bill Espiricueta’s blue-ribbon barbecue joint Smōk; Chicago-style pizzeria Grabowski’s; rooftop tavern The Woods, featuring New Belgium beers brewed on-site; and soft-serve shop Melted.

Here’s a mini-vacation in the midst of RiNo: Barely wider than a hallway that leads to a backyard with picnic tables, this little getaway evokes countless raw bars and crab shacks from Cape Cod to Gulfport to Monterey. Its menu, meanwhile, borrows from them all: In addition to oysters from both coasts, it serves up New England–style clam chowder, New Orleans–style shrimp po’ boys, and West Coast–style fish tacos with equal confidence — not to mention key lime pie. And while craft beer is obviously the star of the bar program, the lighthearted selection of wines and cocktails pulls its own weight.
