Beyond the Bar
Downtown Rahway, Modern, Light-Filled Event Space for Photo, Video & Brand Productions
About Beyond the Bar
Tucked into the heart of downtown Rahway, less than a 10-minute walk from a major transit line, this 588 sq. ft. café and bakery offers a unique blend of industrial charm and natural warmth. Floor-to-ceiling windows line the street-facing wall, filling the space with soft, diffused natural light—ideal for relaxing, working, or capturing content. The interior features an eye-catching green wall perfect for photo ops and content creation, while a full exposed brick wall adds texture and character. A bar setup, two cozy couches, and a mix of high-top tables with stools offer flexible seating throughout the space, creating a comfortable and stylish environment. Whether it’s an intimate birthday brunch, private party, team meeting, creative exhibition, pop-up shop, or community gathering, this adaptable space is designed to host a variety of experiences with ease and style. Guests also enjoy the convenience of four dedicated parking spaces, including one ADA-compliant spot for accessible entry.
