Off The Rails

Worcester, MA

GRLA designed a 4,200 SF Country and Western Music Hall, dubbed “Off the Rails”. The space features a clear-span open area that can accommodate almost 500 guests with a raised stage, wood dance floor, and bar. Interior finishes include 15” wide reclaimed southern yellow pine boards for the approximately 1,800 SF dance floor and 800 SF stage along with wall cladding. The bar features a 22’ long reclaimed southern yellow pine bar top to complement the rustic aesthetic.

The exterior incorporates materials that embrace the context of downtown Worcester with traditional brick, but also includes composite cladding and generous glazing visually connecting the interior and exterior. Three large glass overhead doors provide direct access from the dance floor to the outdoor patio.
