Follow the scent of grilled fare to Edgefield's summer treasure during warmer months. Think European-style piazza. Think intimate New Orleans courtyard. Think outdoor garden oasis and you'll get a pretty good idea of what we're talking about – the ideal place to meet for a beer and some casual pub fare.

The old water tower – built back in the 1930's – stands guard over this area, and the bustling Edgefield Brewery is backdrop to a casual dining spot for lunch and dinner all summer long. Lush flora, garden artwork and Edgefield's smallest bar, The Black Rabbit House, serving McMenamins handcrafted ales, wines and spirits, make the Loading Dock a great escape.
