2. Explore creative dining at Finns Manor
Head to Finns Manor, a craft-cocktail bar and food-truck corral with an indoor/outdoor built on the grounds of an old salvage yard in RiNo.
The hip bar is one of Denver’s top temples of mixology and serves an impressive array of libations. Choose from artisan, craft and rare beers on tap and by the bottle, wines from around the world by the bottle and glass, handcrafted cocktails, rum, whiskey and other rare spirits.
Sit on an inviting outdoor patio on your date.
An array of food trucks serve a variety of food-to-go, including regulars like Owlbear BBQ, Taste of the Philippines, Tiger Monkey Korean, and the Night Shift, which serves worldly bao buns packed with goulash, garlic, and parsley. Finn's Manor is open in the evenings Tuesday through Sundays.

4. Indulge in modern Italian-American cuisine at Quality Italian
Book a table at Quality Italian, a contemporary take on the traditional American chophouse with a vibrant lounge and a charming outdoor patio.
The Italian-American steakhouse features a warm, industrial interior with reclaimed wood doors, floor to ceiling cabinetry, custom-designed lighting fixtures, a central bar that presents a dynamic cocktail program and extensive wine offerings, and an adjacent lounge with plush leather seating.
