One of the many ways our space is so versatile is our easy-to-move room dividers. Each made of materials pulled from the space itself to offer cohesive design throughout the entire venue; some of the designs even leave room for enhancements to make them customized to your event with additional decor. Our favorite room divider features a vintage map that pays tribute to the railway lines that once ran where our space currently lies—hence our name, 18 Rails 🚂📜

Lavender Haze | Empress 1908 Indigo Gin, Lavender, Lemon, Blueberry, Vanilla & Rose - Yes, it’s a Taylor Swift song, but it’s also the perfect mix of pine and spice balanced with the mild and sweet flavors of lavender and blueberry.

Love in Flight | Four Roses Bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, Lemon, Amarena Cherry & Rhubarb – This blend of bold flavors is similar to the popular Paper Plane cocktail and reminiscent of the feeling you get with a budding new relationship.
