When GM David Stutz got offered the position of the General Manager at The Source Hotel in Denver-RINO, he got handed a unique concept of Hotel, Bar, Restaurant, Brewery and Market Place where guests can find 6 Restaurants, Bakery, Smoke House, Retail Shops, and more.

The Woods Bar & Restaurant is a modern Scandinavian & Japanese inspired rooftop bar and restaurant overlooking Down-Town Denver-RINO Neighborhood and the Rocky Mountains.

Located high above The Source Hotel where Hotel Guests get a Cool welcome with an on tap in house brewed New Belgian Beer at the Front Desk check in.

The Woods Bar & Restaurant is a perfect get together venue for business partners, friends, hotel guest, and group parties to enjoy a wide selection of in house brewed New Belgian Beer, Wine, and Specialty Drinks. The awesome menu selections are a delight new approach to be shared and accompanies the 48-beer selections, half in-house brewed New Belgian Beer beverage menu.

Chicken Lollipop’s with Coleslaw and Asian Glaze - Sweet Soy Cauliflower with Fried Garlic and Lime - Blistered Shishito Peppers with Sea Salt and Cotija Cheese or Charcuterie & Cheese Board with 3 types of meat and 3 kinds of cheese, pickles and persevered jams are a generous portion to share.

The Source Market Place with retail shops, bakery, smokehouse, brewery, and more invites for an in-house shopping experience not to be missed.

The Woods Roof Top Bar & Restaurant is my absolute favorite. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! Servers & Bar Tenders are also great and always efficient, happy, and polite. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere special with a class in Denver. To make a reservation at the restaurant they use RESY Restaurant Reservation System.

We are so fortunate to have this place just a few minutes away from the heart of Denver. Food is stunning, both The Woods and downstairs Market Place Restaurants. Cocktail’s “WOW”, Refreshing Frozen Drinks, Wine great and lovely selection of finely crafted beers. Love this place and will continue to visit.
