ABOUT the rackhouse
Unabashedly contemporary, The Rackhouse at Desert Door nonetheless features many of the warm, rustic touches that make up the Hill Country aesthetic - we call it Desert Modern. One of the first things you’ll notice when you enter the space is the dramatic 28-foot bar that runs virtually the length of the room. Spacious, with soaring 20-foot ceilings, The Rackhouse can hold as many as 75 or be configured with the appropriate seating and lighting to deliver a more intimate experience. Because of its straightforward rectangular layout, The Rackhouse is infinitely flexible.
The Rackhouse at Desert Door comprises two spaces - the main Rackhouse room and the Rackhouse Patio. They can be rented independently or together. A pair of massive steel and glass doors join the two spaces. While we are adjacent to a distillery, the Rackhouse is a quiet space with its own private entrance and is closed to the general public - only you and your guests will have access.
