Rooftop Garden & Patio
The building was designed with an urban, rooftop farm and garden in mind. We've utilized the majority of the space for this purpose in order to provide fresh, locally-grown produce to our partner restaurants and catering companies. Adjacent to the garden is a patio with seating and a nice view of the courtyard below and the surrounding neighborhood.

Versatile & Unique Spaces
Three levels and four spaces. The Rail Line is a very versatile space for year-round events. The main building with the dining areas and bar is on the elevated train tracks with off-street parking adjacent.

Back at the building level, through a garage door at the far end, is another large patio space which can be easily tented and a great space to put a band.
