On a sunny day, the patio patrons at this neighborhood hangout are practically pouring into the streets. Vine Street Pub & Brewery boasts great beers, good food, and a prime location for outdoor revelry at 1700 Vine Street near City Park. (Note: They are CASH only but have an ATM on site.)
This relaxed RiNo joint has an excellent patio overlooking Larimer and 25th, and they're serving up "good food, no fuss."

One of the most interesting patio experiences I've had in Denver is at Finn's Manor in RiNo. They managed to turn an old auto salvage park into a quirky, hip bar with an expansive patio, craft cocktails, multiple food trucks, and a casual ambiance.

Just across the street at 1420 Larimer is Bistro Vendôme, "a local favorite in a downtown rich with history that offers an exceptional dining experience in a charming, neighborhood setting." Snag a seat in their courtyard and indulge in rich French cuisine and bright bold wine, while imagining yourself dining al fresco in grand Paris. Oui, oui!
