Cool space but very underwhelming. I had heard about this spot from Bon Appetit and decided to drag my friends here during our trip while we were very hungry. I was expecting a full scale food court but it turned out to only be few options. I did hear good things about the brewery in the back - good sours on tap apparently. read more

Modern and cutting edge artisan food market! I only went to the bar at the end (Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project)and the restaurant, Acorn, to your left when you walk in. Both were a little expensive, but nothing too fussy to wine about. And besides, I love an eclectic vibe when I feel one. read more

Market Hall - Food Court Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The first i came here it is way beyond my expectations, the place is really great and the different selections they offer. Will definitely recommend this to my friends and for those whose just visiting denver, and will definitely come again Ps *Even if there's a crazy construction going on by the road the place is still busy and packed with people. read more

This looks like a fun place to experience, however, don't be fooled by the "open hours". The schedule says this place is open until 11pm, however, we popped in right before 9pm, and just about everything was closed, besides a couple of restaurants - totally dead and no one was around. We only went there for the shops, and did not try the restaurants. read more

My boyfriend and I were heading to Acron for dinner when we realized the restaurant was actually in this pretty cool eatery co-op with other businesses. After dinner, hopped over to Crooked Stave for a beer. I also noticed a florist, cheese shop and a liquor store. Pretty neat set up! read more

I liked the concept of the Source probably a little more than I liked the execution. Part of that might have been the fact that the parking garage is completely torn up and I felt like we were just getting nails in our tires driving up to it. The shops here were cool, altho we didn't end up buying anything from anywhere. All the stores were very very small, and none had a huge selection. Did like the brewery tho! read more

Loved the environment! A great place to meet friends and go to get out of the house. They have so many choices in one place. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. I liked how I was sitting at the wine bar and watching a movie on the big screen on the back! read more

5/27/15: Very very surprised by this place! Kudos to the developer that saw a great opportunity to bring businesses together in a giant renovated warehouse! Originally we came here for Crooked Stave as we thought this was the brewery, but were quickly surprised at the other options here. This is more of a CS review. Hands down, their beers are heaven. I am a big sour drinker and love the imagination and creativity of their selection. Bartender was extremely nice, attentive, and passionate for the beers. My friends and I had a great time stumbling upon this place! read more

We had a really nice time here. There was free valet until 2:00pm and there were lots of different places to go inside, including a floral shop. We ended up going to the Italian cafe and had an amazingly unexpected experience. We had an espresso and the most amazing tea service I think I have ever received. It was interesting because the source building doesn't look like anything from the outside. We will definitely be going back. Parking was kind of a pain though, they only had like 15 parking spaces or so. read more

It makes me chuckle that The Source is summarized on Yelp as a "Food Court." I think it's just about time Yelp adds "Marketplace" to its list of descriptions. Because The Source ain't your typical food court. It's hip beyond hip. The cool kids might have hung out at the mall food court back in the day, but now as grown adults, they go to The Source instead. It's a very elevated scene. When I walked in, it seemed more like one gigantic restaurant. There weren't people really walking around browsing. And although there were lots of people, it was pretty quiet. They seemed to know exactly where to be already. But I was like a lost soul looking for Acorn. Just as a heads up, even though it's a Marketplace, it's far from casual. People get dressed up, and we had to make a reservation for Acorn days in advance for a Wednesday... If you feel like treating yourself, this is the place to go. But I couldn't see myself going here more than once a year though, it's a little too high-end for me, not all that approachable compared to other marketplaces. But if you're a single person, it seemed like a great pick-up spot to strike up conversation with someone who likely has a very good job. I took an Uber here, and that avoided a lot of the parking confusion mentioned in other reviews. read more

Incredibly snobbish staff. Impossible to get a drink. Amazing building. Unfortunately I would not ever go here again.

Stopped by for a relaxing evening and after work drinks. The Source Marketplace had an entire food court food court with a lot of great options and even a bar serving a variety of drinks. read more

Bunch of different restaurants. Decent for lunch. Can also do some work in the local lobby.

The source is a great co-op type of space with butchers, breweries, restaurants, etc! So whatever you're looking for you'll probably find there. The space is very industrial and surrounded by construction and the vibe of the space totally embodies that. I enjoyed the offerings here and if I'm ever in Denver again I'll be back to check out the spots in here again. read more

Given that this place was listed as a destination spot for Denver, I was really disappointed with how small it was. Yes, it has 5 or 6 different restaurants. But I would not put it on a destination list. And it doesn't compare to similar places in other cities (like Legacy Food Hall in Dallas). Our group split to eat between Smok BBQ and Grabowski's Pizza and both had good food. read more

Incredible concept; wonderfully executed. Inside The Source you will find a slew of bars, lounge areas, a gallery, a charcuterie store, liquor store, and more. On certain days of the month they have special markets, and on others they have plenty of events to keep you interested. With equal parts community, convenience, and chicness, The Source could be one of your new regular hangouts. If you're familiar with the San Francisco area, think the Ferry Building. It seems lots of these 'venue's are popping up around the country, and for good reason. Not only can the curator/sponsors of these locations keep certain themes, such as "all organic and fairly-sourced", in which you can begin to trust the tenants that rent the space, but you can also be sure that attention will be paid to the quality of the whole, instead of individual parts. We stumbled upon The Source when we were looking for the SVPERORDINARY gallery, and were pleasantly surprised. I would definitely frequent if I worked in Denver. Happy Hour, plus a few groceries to bring home? Unfortunately, parking is still quite strange and inconvenient (perhaps it's changed since I've been), but other than that, check this place out! read more

Very cool warehouse type space full of local and seemingly environmentally friendly sourced food. There are 6-7 different "shops"/"sections" in the space, but all of them blend and cohabitants very well. We ate at both La Comida and at the bakery inside. The tacos and gorditas at La Comida were great. Very juicy and flavorful meats accompanied with interesting blends of flavors to really appeal to your palate. I had a bear claw pastry from the bakery, and this was excellent as well. Would highly recommend based on great vibes and a unique atmosphere. read more

Market Hall - A mix of some tacos and gorditas - Food Court Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Not what I expected in terms of 'food market' since there are only 2 restaurants there, Acorn and Comida. I was about to eat at Acorn, but the menu wasn't that appealing. I asked the waiter why their hangar steak was $80, but I didn't get a good reason. So I opted to move to the bar instead. I was actually pretty impressed by their bar staff and the care they put into each drink. It was definitely a craft cocktail scene. I recommend getting the Blood and Sand or even a finely crafted Old Fashioned by one of their expert mixologists. Overall, the entire food market was really overpriced and lacked variety in food. This isn't even comparable to Chelsea Market in NYC, not even by a fraction. read more

The parking wasn't bad and it was free. The inside of the place is very cool, all brick walls with awesome lighting, small shops inside that sell wine, cheese and other items, an artsy home decor store, a butcher and 2 restaurants across from each other, coffee place and a shitty brewery. The highlight is the bar in the middle with the awesome light fixture hanging above it, the bartender girl was very gorgeous and advised properly on the drink options. Everything was reasonably priced and gave off a high end vibe without the jacket or prices. The only complaint I may have was i went in around 7 - 8 on a Saturday night and the place was dead. No females. read more

Gorgeous interior! Fun atmosphere! Just missing a few more places to enjoy of awesome Denver read more

Fun spot to take out of town guests. I've only ever eaten at Comida, and it's always been good. There are few shops that are neat to browse, but I certainly wouldn't be going there to do any major shopping. Update as of Feb. 2018: If you're taking the light rail be warned that you'll be walking through quite a bit of construction and unpaved walkways. read more

The parking situation at The Source is an utter joke and major f-you to the customers who frequent the businesses within The Source. It's ridiculous to charge for parking when you're spending large sums of money on the premise. The parking should be free when you dine at one of the restaurants or make a purchase in one of the shops. Maybe I could eventually get over the over priced parking but that wouldn't excuse the fact that the machine at the exit to pay for said parking never works!! Last week I had to wait 20 minutes to pay $16 to exit that damned structure since each person exiting had trouble with the card reader. If you're going to rip people off at least make it fast and easy! read more

Super cool hipster place ! I came on a Sunday so only Comida was a little busy for brunch or lunch. But we still got a table right away. Great nightlife area. Full bar and lots of liquor choices as well as a beer flight option. Cool sitting areas and very hipster and fun inside. We ate outside at comida and the place across was BBQ . There's a small flour shop, bakery, and butcher in there as well. You defiantly would not know about this place, but it's a hidden gem. read more

See all

When you wander around the place, you feel a little like you're in an episode of Portlandia. I have been around long enough to endure more than one fad, and the whole freaking "artisinal" thing is really starting to fray my nerves. Since when did decent wholesome locally sourced food become something that only D-I-N-K-s can afford? The butcher behind a window lovingly performing surgery on a cut of meat that I'm sure is $18.99 a pound or more made me laugh out loud. Oh, I'm sure the goat that made the milk that is in this cheese has a nice backstory. I'd love to sit here and nod appreciatively while you go on and on. If I have to be "educated" to like a beer that, to me, tastes like it's gone bad......I still don't like it. No offense to you sour beer lovers out there..... A year ago my husband and I bought 1/2 a hog from a teenaged girl and her family, who live out on the eastern plains. She had raised it as a 4-H project, and also to help raise money for college. Did they call it artisinal? No. Did they tell us the name of the pig and that it liked to walk on the beach in soft focus? No. Was it the best freaking pork I've ever had? Yeah buddy. Was it comparable in price to supermarket pork? It actually came out to be cheaper per pound than the saline-soaked crap you get at Safeway, even after the butchering costs; and the butchering was done at a nice place out in Hudson; without fanfare, window dressing, or vanity. The place is a nice idea and I'm sure the people involved mean well, but I came away with a sour (ha ha) taste in my mouth. It just feels self congratulatory, fashion-driven, and false. If locally sourced sustainable minimally processed food and drink is only available to the tattooed hip and apologetically wealthy, we are ALL doing something wrong. Wrap that in your yoga mat and smoke it. read more

I'm in love with The Source. I love the big open airy feel of it. I love that they have various types of businesses in it. I love that they took an old building and revamped it to use for such a great concept. It's set a bit back from the road so if you're heading down Brighton in the dark you may pass it the first time. I use the green, well-lit self-storage place as a marker if you need one. Once you step inside the doors though everything is well-lit and welcoming. What's inside you ask? Comida (a Mexican restaurant) Acorn (American-ish food) A bakery A butcher A florist A coffee shop A small, fancy grocery A Crooked Stave (hooray sour beers!) tasting room The Cap Rock Farm Bar (Cap Rock makes a delicious gin and shares farm land with Jack Rabbit Winery. This bar makes drinks and cheese plates, two of my favorite things!) And apparently more is yet to come. It's a super rad space with super rad businesses and I'm really excited to see something like this pop up in Denver. I can't wait to head back! read more

The Source is really shaping up to be a great new spot! This is a european style market with multiple vendors/shops/restaurants/etc. Right now there a two restaurants open and a cheese shop. Within the next week a butcher, brewery (crooked stave!!!), bar, and more will be opening. There is plenty of parking outside and a new bike rack made from old metal building materials (pretty neat!). There are two nice patios and tons of open seating inside. Its a HUGE, open space. The RiNo neighborhood is really shaping up to be a great place to live! read more

The Source is one of those places that I'm happy to have in my neighborhood because its perceived coolness will assist with raising property values, but.....it's not somewhere I would really miss having nearby, if I were to move away. It's not a bad space. I quite enjoy grabbing a tasty pastry from Babette's. But I was hoping this would be a more practical market with casual options for a meal before/after you do your shopping. It's really not that. Everything is a bit of a splurge. In addition, the decor and the actual temperature leaves me a bit cold. Literally. This weekend we stopped by for a pastry from Babette's and a cuppa from Boxcar and I had to keep my coat on while we ate/drank. I think there could have been an overall better use of space with more nooks and crannies to sit and stay a spell, but the tables are out in the open in prime door draft zone. I would have been better served at Huckleberry in Sunnyside (which also carries Babette's pastries and bread). Both of the restaurants are a bit more splurgey. I already find Comida a bit fussy, so I haven't even contemplated hitting up Acorn. And Crooked Stave is a far cry from a cozy neighborhood taproom. I do have high hopes for future development/use of space in The Source building (making it a more functional/practical market) and appreciate the developer taking a chance and jump starting development on Brighton Blvd. But I'll probably default to most other places for eating/imbibing/shopping until then. read more

I can see the potential here. Grasping at a way to define it for those that haven't been, it appears they're trying for a Reading Terminal Market vibe on a much smaller scale and with a bit of Denver mixed in to make it ours. Two staple restaurants, Comida and Acorn (both have beautiful patios), a butcher, a bakery, a grocery, a brewery, a wine/liquor store, a cheese shop, and a coffee shop. The space is open, industrial, modern, and looks as though it can handle a lot of people. It's off to a great start and I'm looking forward to the other items opening up and really making this a go to place in the neighborhood. Denver had to start somewhere and this was a great way to start. Love having an indoor market that has a bit of everything to go to in the neighborhood. read more

So excited that this cool location is finally opened! We watched this location go thru it's transformation into the adorable and amazing results! There are 2 restaurants, a bakery, a fancy meat and cheese shop, i hear rumor of a wine/liquor store, a brewery, coffee shop and more. It is so great to have a bunch of useful options for shopping within a walk/bike from home! read more

In theory, The Source sounds lovely. In actuality, it really didn't hit big for me. There is a nice offering of shops but I left feeling a bit disappointed. The shops are a bit pretentious too. Perhaps some friendly competition between shops would spice up The Source! Then it would be worthy of being called a market place. I do love the open concept of the place and I love that it offers beer to wine to a butcher to a florist, and not to mention two hot restaurants. I can see that this will grow. But until then, this is not in my neighborhood, so I can't imagine going so far out of my way to actually shop here. I will come back to explore the restaurants and to have a fresh beer from Crooked Stave, but that's about it. read more

I love converted spaces, whether large or small, that morph from industrial-or-other to a food, drink, and seasonal grocery mecca. Whether it's Melrose Market in Seattle, Chelsea Market in NYC, or the Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market in San Francisco I'm always and immediately at home. The Source was no exception. There's a lovely smattering of shops from Boxcar Coffee to a butcher to a cheesemonger to a liquor store, and spots to eat and drink like Comida (creative tacos and Mexican-inspired small plates), Acorn, and Crooked Stave's tasting room. Knock it all you want for being trendy or hipstery, but I'll shamelessly profess my love for this particular iteration of eating, drinking, and shopping locally. The Source will definitely be on my must-do list for my Denver visits, and it's a great addition to the neighborhood. read more

I'm not sure what all the hype is about. It's a nice concept but poorly executed, hopefully they improve it. First, the parking lot is a mess, it should be paved considering how high end the product is inside. Second, the ambiance is lacking. It is cold and very dark inside. They need better lighting. The whole industrial warehouse conversion look is great but they need to soften it up a bit to make it more inviting and relaxing. Third, the selection of businesses is pretty random. This place should be all about community, food, drink, having a good time. I doubt many people will come here to buy clothing, produce, housewares. Fourth, they need more variety of fresh prepared food. Waiter-service restaurants are ok for 1 or 2 anchors, but for this format you need each many vendors with counter service with a variety of specialities you can't get anywhere else. The little shops selling ingredients are not the draw here, the food is. It should be a place like a food court just more unique with hand-crafted product. I was hoping to see a coffee/tea shop, dessert bar, sandwich shop, sushi or other Asian food, etc. Fifth, the hours should be fairly uniform for all the businesses and they should be open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and possibly late night. I stopped by Sunday afternoon and a few places were closed and nothing at the bakery. There is a lot of potential here especially as the neighborhood is just now developing so hopefully the concept evolves with the neighborhood. This could be a home run but it's not there yet. read more

This is an interesting little place, with some different vendors housed in one space. Restaurants, coffee shop, brewery, bar, meat market, flower shop and a bakery. Driving here, I almost missed it as the building sits pretty far back from the road and there's no signage. It's almost like you have to know it's there. Otherwise, there is a teeny parking lot in front of the Source, with lots of dirt lot parking, which is what alerted me that The Source may be nearby. Inside, it seems pretty post-modern decor and the vendors listed above inside the building. It seemed pretty loud here with people milling about and sitting down in the open air spaces of the building. I'm not sure what I expected, but I was a bit underwhelmed. It's a different concept, but as it is far away from my side of town, I probably wouldn't race back here anytime soon. But with that said, it is cool to have something different in the area. read more

I can remember walking home from downtown, passing all of these abandoned buildings, a couple dive bars, and many real homeless. It was sad, but charming, and not as dangerous as people thought. The source, in my opinion brought change aka gentrification to this street that desperately needed some love. It's a market place, flooded with hipsters. It seems very well maintained, and it looks like they are building a hotel. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here again. read more

Love love love their chips and guacamole! Very different from any other Mexican place I have had! It's very authentic. Great customer service and in between so many other restaurants, bars, and shops! read more

What's not to love about a shared space like The Source? They have it all--brewery, art gallery, florist, cheese/spice shop, coffee shop, a couple of swanky restaurants and a bar. I went this past weekend and they had a market going on inside with different vendors, think a mini farmers market. Hopefully they will keep doing this and bring in more vendors. The parking lot could use some word but it's RiNo so what are you going to do? I am a huge fan the shared space idea where business can thrive together vs. dwindling on their own due to high rents. I hope one day they add more stuff but either way, still a cool place to stop when you're in RiNo. read more

The Source is a great place for food, drinks, small boutique shops, and meeting up with friends but since they added parking fees: free first hour, $5 past an hour, $20 a day, I'm less inclined to go here. I understand the need for parking fees but they don't even validate if you eat at any restaurants in the space. It's also very difficult to street park in the area due to all the construction and congestion. There are other food halls/meeting places (Central Market, Milk Market, Zepplin Station, Avanti) in Denver that are just as cool and have available parking/reasonable parking prices. So either Lyft/Uber/Bike/Scoot here or skip it all together. read more

Like a secret spot with a bit of everything. It's this huge building and when you walk in, their are restaurants, a coffeehouse, a butcher, a florist shop, Crooked Stave brewery in the back and much more! The middle is a seating area with tables. We only went to Crooked Stave and really enjoyed it! We came late at night so some of the small shops had closed, but the brewery and restaurants were all open.it felt like a huge club with everything you need in one spot! Eat, drink and sober up wth a coffee. And if you need a fresh cut steak, but up the butcher and get yourself a fresh thing of flowers to brighten your day. I would love to come back to try more of the places inside. read more

Everyone really likes The Source, and I really want to like it too, but I just can't. First off, it's not the most welcoming environment. I never encounter friendliness or warmth from the staff or the patrons. It feels cold and pretentious. Secondly, I feel that most of the businesses within The Source are incredibly overpriced. Why would I drive to this random, industrial neighborhood to pay more than I'd pay anywhere else for products I can buy closer to my house from people who actually act like they want my business? I only gave two stars because of Babette's...except they've never been open when I've been there. So I'm not sure why I'm being so generous. read more

Are you kidding me?? I stopped in with the intention of spending around $3 on a coffee and using the internet for a while. I ended up whipping my credit card out at three different places, spending over $20 inside because there were such unique delicious offerings that I could not pass up. Boxcar Coffee Roasters: ROOTBEER MILK LATTE! They have root beer infused milk (like chocolate milk but rootbeer flavor) that you can drink on its own or in a latte. It was magical. Mondo market: delicious and reasonably priced breakfast sandwich. Babettes Bakery: Chocolate pistachio danish and cardamom and ginger cinnamon role. So delicious. So unique. Atmosphere: plenty of space. Outlets everywhere and free wifi. Construction: just beware that there is a lot of construction around and parking is a little tricky. There is a tiny lot off the street right in front of the Source. read more
