Getting home is part of the night.

The ride home

Plan it before the first round. The driver of your table drinks free all night from the no-alcohol list: root beer, hop water, cold brew, coffee and pop. The bar will call you a cab, and the Castlegar to Nelson bus stops at the highway, a six-minute walk.

Driving in on a busy night?

Our own lot off Turbine Hall Road, about 40 spaces, free. Bike racks by the door. On First Pour Friday and Live in the Hall nights it fills by 7.

Directions and the bus stop

Want the hall for your own night?

Birthdays at the rail end, dinners at the long table under the crane, receptions around the generator. Every space has its minimum spend printed, and a builder works out your date.
