Third Rail

Located in San Francisco’s historic Dogpatch neighborhood, Third Rail is a modern take on a friendly neighborhood bar. The name Third Rail relates to the bar’s positioning proximal to the San Francisco Municipal Railway’s T Third Street light rail line, as well as the eponymous cocktail that’s a best seller at sister spot Range. Paxton Gate design/build team Sean Quigley and Scott McCrea (Flour+Water) gave the bar a subtle train station-inspired vibe with art deco touches and a mid-century aesthetic. Furnishings include Eames inspired chairs and sofas, industrial tin signage, and a vintage French train station clock that spans four and a half feet. The 1,200 sq-foot space features an L-shaped bar, bench seating, and an intimate lounge area.
