Glen Blair Bar from Fort Bragg: Skunk Train to redwood nightlife

Train ride into the redwoods, then a bar that exists nowhere else

The Glen Blair Bar is a late-night activity in The Glen, California, reachable only by the Skunk Train from Fort Bragg. You board at 6:30pm, travel along Pudding Creek through redwoods, and spend the evening at a bar with firepits, heaters, live music, group games, and a full selection of local beer, wine and cocktails. Trains run hourly between 6:30pm and 10:30pm on select Friday and Saturday nights year-round. The minimum age is 21.

The experience

If you have a free evening in Fort Bragg and want something that doesn't exist anywhere else, the Skunk Train takes you there. You show up at the depot at 6:30pm, board a vintage train, and ride it through old-growth redwoods along Pudding Creek to The Glen. A bar that has no road access, no parking lot, no way to reach it except by rail. The journey itself is the opener: forty minutes of forest and creek bed, the kind of quiet you don't get in town.

At The Glen you find firepits, heaters, live music, group games, and a full bar pouring local beer and wine alongside signature cocktails. The setup is built for lingering. Trains run hourly, so you can stay as long as you want and catch a later departure back to Fort Bragg. The last train leaves at 10:30pm. If you want to add charcuterie for two to your booking, you can upgrade at checkout.

The whole outing runs about four hours from the moment you board until you're back in town. It's built for a Friday or Saturday night when you have the evening free and want to skip the usual bar scene. The minimum age is 21.
