For charity fundraisers, we may be able to offer a discounted rate on weekdays for fundraisers. Please contact us and tell us about the event details.

We are a fully licensed and stocked bar. We provide the bartenders, a large variety of alcohol, glassware and run the bar for your event and you arrange for the food and catering - though we can also help coordinate with local restaurants and caterers through our partner event production business if you'd like help with that.

There is no charge for a cash bar, the guests can run tabs and use credit cards. If you'd like we can also provide open bar options priced per person per hour, or you can even just run a tab and we'll keep track of all the guests' drinks. No outside alcohol is every permitted, however we can stock any special beers, wines or spirits that you request.

While the Rail Line does not offer a full kitchen to cook food, we do have a catering space with coolers, warmers, sinks, dishwasher and stainless steel worktops for caterers to setup and work out of. Our partners at The Evergreen may cater some events but we are open to any caterers our clients may wish to use. We can setup a meeting with The Evergreen if you wish, and their management can discuss your event, menus and budget to determine the options.
