The editorial take
RiNo Beer Garden pours 60-plus craft taps across a 4,000-square-foot patio, but the cocktail list holds its own with a $9-$13 range of classics and originals. The Whiskey Sour draws customer praise as a from-scratch standout. Canned wines from Infinite Monkey Theorem and Archer Roose round out the bar.
