The Rail House — Restaurant in Deerfield

Not bicyclist friendly... Even though my wife and I were parked in a parking spot in the path lot, we came off the trail to find a nasty scrawled noted on our vehicle that we were "blocking their lane" (we weren't at all). We actually had planned stopping in for drinks and food.. we went somewhere less aggro. Edit: Look at the response from this guy. It tells you all you need to know. We were pulled all the way up in that spot. There were no customers there - not a single car, they were still closed. Seems like their issue is with the city and the proximity of that end space to their business. They could easily speak with city officials and make the last couple spaces compact car or motorcycle only. Instead they seethe staring out their window. I wonder what other immaterial things cause the owner to fly off in a rage? If you sit in the wrong chair will something happen...

I drive through Deerfield occasionally for work and always thought the Rail House looked like a cool place…

My wife and I stopped in on a weeknight and the few guys smoking outside stared us down the whole time we were walking up. Low and behold one of those guys was the bartender. He proceeded to check our id’s not to see if we were of age(we are far above legal drinking age) but definitely to see where we were from. I ordered a whiskey sour, and my wife ordered a bottle of beer that she likes, but was told by the barkeep not to order that and try something else.

We finished our drinks and left. We never felt welcome from the second...

Unique building next to the railroad tracks. Love the big wrap around deck. Old building but nice. Clean! Mixed drinks made from canned soda and juice and not from a tap line. Gives drinks a better quality of taste. This was my first time there...it...
