HARK & HOLLER

The Service Bay

The old lube bay kept its roll-up door and its bones — it just trades oil for oyster plates now. One long walnut table, twenty-four chairs, and a menu you settle with the chef over the phone.

The Service Bay private dining room: one long walnut table under the original roll-up door, set for a party
The Service Bay, set for twenty-four. In fair weather the roll-up door goes up and the table runs out onto the forecourt.

Drawn from the carpenter's plan. The hearth wall is the west side; the doorway at the top corner comes through from the dining room, so a party can arrive without crossing service. The roll-up door is original — it was the reason we bought the building.

Twelve letters a line, three lines, cream on oxblood. Dell sets it by hand off a ladder at four o'clock.

The board is yours for the night

Buyouts get the marquee. Tell us what it should say and it will be lit when the first car turns in off NC-209 — a name, a date, a welcome, an inside joke.

Within reason. We have refused exactly one proposal message and we stand by it.
