Railgarten is permanently closed and its property is up for sale, according to a listing from commercial real estate firm Colliers.
The entertainment complex closed in the winter. But the sign outside the popular Midtown hangout read that it was closed only for renovations.
However, a new sign hanging on the front of the indoor music venue part of Railgarten now reads “available.” The property listing from Colliers calls it “the former Railgarten dining, entertainment, and recreational venue.”
The listing includes the entire complex together: the diner, the tiki bar, indoor music hall, the backyard and beer garden, volleyball court, and Ping-Pong pavilion. All of it totals nearly 10,000 square feet of indoor entertainment space on 1.35 acres.
Here’s how Colliers describes the property:
“It’s designed to offer diverse dining, drinks, live music, and recreational activities across both indoor and outdoor spaces. The property benefits from being in the heart of the Cooper-Young district, a social, cultural, and entertainment hotspot.
“Whether it’s a local Memphian looking for a weekend hangout, a tourist exploring the city, or a music fan catching a live show, this property is perfectly positioned to attract foot traffic and engagement year-round.
The area is a convenient location in Cooper Young District — packed with award-winning restaurants, coffee shops, and craft breweries. Just minutes from the University of Memphis, Christian Brothers University, Liberty Park, Downtown Memphis, and Overton Square, making it easy to access many city attractions. Nearby favorites include: Alchemy, Beauty Shop Restaurant, Tsunami, Soul Fish Café, Young Avenue Deli, Central BBQ, and Jack Brown’s Burgers.
“The Diner — A retro-style American eatery. Casual, relaxed seating with booths and bar seating. Family-friendly atmosphere with a nostalgic touch.
“The Tiki Bar — A separate indoor bar area with a tropical island theme. Cozy, dim lighting and fun decor, including palm-themed murals and bamboo furniture.
“Indoor Music Hall — Intimate club-like setting with standing room and some seating areas. Fully equipped with professional sound and lighting systems.
“The Backyard & Beer Garden — A large open-air space with picnic tables, string lights, and communal seating. Outdoor stage to host larger music gatherings and pop-up events.
“Volleyball Court — A full-sized sand volleyball court for pickup games and league play.
“The Ping-Pong Pavilion — Multiple Ping-Pong tables available for casual play and competitions. Covered area for shade and protection from weather conditions.”
Railgarten has not yet made any announcement of the move on its social media channels. It did note a venue change of a New Year’s Eve show from Railgarten to Loflin Yard. A post about that show, featuring The Neon Mooners, was the last post from Railgarten on its Facebook page.
