Since relocating to Hillcrest in the early 1960’s, customers continue to be drawn in by our inviting surroundings and lounge-style atmosphere, as we continue to thrive as a landmark destination. Our furnishings are modern, yet reminiscent of our rich history as a post-Prohibition-era establishment with details of brick, wood, corrugated wall treatments, inviting indoor/outdoor patio areas and uniquely designed private venue spaces. The Rail is proud of its heritage as a family owned and operated business for over 55 years, contributing to our time-tested legacy of success and dedication to the community.
