I just made my first visit to this place with some friends after work. I love the atmosphere (well lit, exposed brick, wood decor, custom crafted furniture, not too loud). The service was wonderful with everyone extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful. As I waited by the bar with two friends (waiting for three more to arrive) I inquired about a table, and the hostess said that if we wanted to keep waiting at the bar, she'd be sure to let us know when there was only one table left so we'd be sure to get it. That's above and beyond in my book. 20 taps, but every one of them something really good, with plenty of variety and many locals. The food is also really good, with everything hand made and a lot of unusual and delicious appetizer choices. I actually didn't love the pizza, but it was pretty good and cooked in an awesome looking wood fired brick oven. The prices for everything were very reasonable. My buddies and I agree -- we've found our new after work place to go!

Ate dinner at a table, on a wednesdat night, 1/23/13.

Atmo - nice mix of white and blue collar. The bar has a nice energy without being obnoxious. I saw as many workboots as I did dress shoes.

Quality - this is some of the best pizza I have ever had. Seriously. I had buffalo chicken and my wife had a spinach and feta. Both were outstanding. Our calamari app was also very good. We didn't have room for dessert.

Service - Our server was Sarah. Honestly I would not have changed anything. Food came out at a great times, she was attentive without being oppressive, my wife ordered a fancy cocktail(s) and it was excellent and came out of the bar quickly. Sarah had a very welcoming and pleasant manner.

Selection - 20 craft beer taps. All good stuff. Giving this a lower score because the menu was different from the website and both were different from what was actually on tap. If you spot your favorite on the website and that is your reason for going, call ahead as it might not be there.

Food - see quality.

Value - I had 2 Hercules Double Ipa, a buff chicken pizza, and my wife had 2 fancy cocktails and a spinach pizza. We split calamari. Total came to 55 bones. I thought this was quite reasonable.

Overall - my wife and I will definitely be back. Great little spot in downtown Hudson Ma. Less selection than the Horseshoe (80 taps) in Hudson, but the food blows it away.

Rail Trail just opened a couple weeks ago and definitely deserves a visit from all interested folks.
Rustic, somewhat western style feel inside with an open wood fire oven just in the door on the left. The place has been very crowded so far and all that have gone have been pleased. Full bar with about 20 beers on tap and a modest bottle list that is meant just to compliment the draft offerings.

Service at the bar and table were both excellent. Bar tenders were friendly and quickly offered a sample when it was appropriate. Tap list was a mix of some nice locals, (Jack’s Abbey, Wormtown, High & Mighty) Boston standards, (Harpoon & Sam Adams ) and some other nice craft options.. (Weinstephaner Dunkel, Founder’s Breakfast Stout, Maine Peeper Ale, Lagunita’s IPA) While I didn’t have one, it appeared that they had an interesting cocktail menu as well.
Food was very good. The main focus is the wood fired pizza’s. We also enjoyed the stuffed pepper appetizer and I enjoyed that quite a bit.

Very excited to have this option in Hudson and will be visiting often. If you’re in the area or frequent the Horseshoe, you definitely need to stop here.
