Set in a beautifully restored historic railyard, Notch 8 is where industrial heritage meets elevated dining. Once part of Brainerd’s railroad history, the space still carries that character. Now transformed into a one-of-a-kind destination for elevated food, craft cocktails, and unforgettable nights out.

Shoutout to Ann on our Notch 8 catering team—an absolute force behind the scenes. She’s a leader, a coach, a dedicated hard worker, and somehow juggles multiple jobs at once without missing a beat. She brings steady expertise to every event and shows up with a consistently positive attitude that lifts everyone around her. We couldn’t pull off the level of catering events we do without her.
