Food & Drink at The Freight


Savory, fresh food options (hot and cold) available most nights, so come on in for a meal, snack, or delightful dessert. We also serve beer, wine, soft drinks, and a delightful variety of snacks and fresh baked goods. Food and drink must be consumed in our lobby only – food & drink are not permitted in the showroom at this time. To provide maximum ventilation, whenever possible we will open the lobby windows and create additional space for food and drink outside (just in front of the building).
