The Yard Office Lounge At The Station Inn
Our intimate, speakeasy-style cocktail bar and small plates restaurant is located downstairs at the Inn. Yard Office’s original Men’s Bar looks today much as it did in 1904 when it opened. Its ornate ceiling, tile floor and mirrored cherry backbar are a delight to the eye.
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AFTER 20 YEARS
We are so excited to bring the Yard Office back to life. We offer craft cocktails, several wines, and a few local brews on draft, along with a selection of shareable plates and an option or two for dessert. Whether you’re looking for a nice “before dinner” cocktail, or a place to relax or socialize, we invite you to our timeless lounge where our soft lighting and chill music will set you at ease.
