Seaboard Freight

What began as a freight building (and rumored Prohibition-era smuggling stop) for the Seaboard Railroad in 1930 has come to life as the home of Seaboard Freight, a unique venue where exposed brick, worn wood floors, and aged industrial character set the stage for a dark, intimate jazz speakeasy. Guests can enjoy delicious craft cocktails, a curated selection of wine and beer, and jazz music that fills the room with warmth and rhythm. The space is also available to rent for special occasions.
