The Source, the historic foundry turned artisan market and foodie hub, opened in Denver's RiNo neighborhood in August. With tenants like
Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project and
Acorn, there's plenty of good stuff to drink and eat. And there's nothing else like it in Denver.
Confluence Denver Managing Photographer Kara Pearson Gwinn recenty snapped a few shots of the much buzzed-about market.
Zeppelin Development's long-awaited artisan market and bar and restaurant complex,
The Source, opened its doors to Denver's RiNo neighborhood in Aug. 2013.
The project took an 1880s-era foundry and repurposed it into the industrially chic home for no less than 10 purveyors of food and drink, including restaurants
Comida and
Acorn; a brewery in
Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project;
CapRock Farm Bar from the organic distillery in Hotchkiss; flower shop
Beet & Yarrow; a gallery and store in
SVPER ORDINARY;
Boxcar Coffee Roasters;
Mondo Market;
Americanum Provisions;
Babette's Artisan Breads; a butcher in MeatHead;
Collegiate Peaks Bank; and other businesses in an office wing.
The 26,000-square-foot local-centric food emporium is Denver's answer to the Pike Place Market and other landmark culinary retailers.
Confluence Denver Managing Photographer Kara Pearson Gwinn recently aimed her lens at the foods, drinks, and people of The Source -- here are the results.
