To an extent, The Third Rail’s design was an exercise in restraint, where every detail counts. Not unlike many of the cocktails, each ingredient may be simple, but together they paint a full picture. It was also an intentional departure from the current trend of relying on reclaimed pieces to freight personality to a space and instead we stressed custom built-ins, including an original from-the-ground-up bar and back bar. The design takes into account the history of the area as an industrial and transportation hub, as well as the name of the bar itself.
