Under the
bridge,
on the river.

DJs on the deck, boats at the dock, walleye from the truck and a fire on the beach. Trent's Joint is where Lorain goes when the sun drops behind the bridge.

Three ways to do a night here.

01

Beach

Kick your shoes off. Sand, teal chairs, a fire pit and the quietest view of the river. Where the afternoon starts.

02

Deck

Over the water, under the bridge. The DJ sets up here. Freighters slide past close enough to wave at.

03

Bar

Garage doors up, neon on, a full bar inside and a walk-up window outside. Open rain or shine.
