Rafters Lounge

Rafters Lounge is a spacious, open setting on Rails’ upper level, well suited for larger gatherings and more relaxed events.

At its center is a curved bar with warm lighting, surrounded by a mix of seating — chairs, couches, and tables — that allows the space to adapt easily to different types of events.

It’s an ideal setting for cocktail hours, where guests can take in the two-story fireplace, skylights, and the woodwork of the high ceilings. The catwalks, inspired by the railroad tracks just outside, add a distinctive architectural detail as they connect the lounge to the rest of the restaurant.

Rafters Lounge also offers views of Towaco and the surrounding woods, along with an overlook into the Main Dining Room below. The space can accommodate live music, speeches, or presentations, making it as functional as it is inviting.
