Rail Trail Tavern — Restaurant in Glen Rock

After a day of conquering the rail trail, my parched throat and growling stomach led me to what might be the perfect oasis: Rail Trail Tavern.

The atmosphere hits you immediately—rustic charm with just enough polish to make you feel like you've discovered a secret rather than a tourist trap. Edison bulbs cast a warm glow over reclaimed wood, while vintage railway memorabilia tells stories from walls that have clearly seen their share of celebrations. On weekends, the place hums with energy from both locals and trail warriors, creating this perfect blend of "everybody knows everybody" and "everybody's welcome."

Their drink selection deserves poetry. The rotating beer list reads like a love letter to local breweries. The bartenders mix drinks with the confidence of people who genuinely enjoy what they're creating.

Location? Perfection. Literally steps from the trail, you can watch fellow cyclists and hikers through the windows while your muscles thank you for the reprieve. There's something deeply satisfying about enjoying a cold one while still wearing your trail dust like a badge of honor.

But let's talk food—because bar food here transcends the greasy afterthought you might expect—it’s. Positive delight.

Rail Trail Tavern isn't just convenient to the trail—it's part of...

I was asked to leave because I took a drink of my code red dew when I went to my car to get some gear to shoot a pool tournament. ..they said it was liquor. ..lmfao....didnt have any liquor ....was only at my car for not even a minute...the owner got in my face tried to strong arm me....that didn't work out very well for him. Apparently it's completely OK to smoke weed in the parking lot or do illegal drugs on the property , but it's not OK to take a swig of code red dew........completely ridiculous....
