There is something about a train. How it’s powered, who is on it, and where it is going.

 

Inspired by the golden age of railroad travel, our F&B offerings will aim to celebrate the human connection surrounded by great food, proper libations, and good friends. People would bring the provincial tastes and dishes with them on their travels, exploring the eating establishments at different stops and locations along the way. Inspired by how people cured their hunger while on the train, we focused on the dining, club, and bar cars connected to the beasts of transportation.

 

The dining car represents Rouser our main restaurant where people gather for a top-notch meal.

 

The club car was for a quick meal or coffee, represents Counterpart our coffee shop.

 

Finally, the bar car is the focus of not one but two bars in Asher Adams, No.119 and the Bar at Asher Adams in the Grand Hall
