Rain opened in May 2009 and is located on Historic Douglas Avenue across from the Eaton Luxury Apartments. Since its original start as a cocktails and social establishment serving mainly the LGBT community it has progressed into a local favorite restaurant as well as a bustling cross-crowd club destination at night.
Rain's interior, designed by Allen Mairs, reflects the hip sensibilities of the surrounding area while also creating a modern private environment for socializing. The restaurant offers options to meet in both cozy or open spaces- and features a unique patio bar with a segregated pool table area for fun. Business amenities include usb chargers and power outlets at booth tables and bar areas, and ample wi-fi throughout the facility.
