Season’s Hall, a new catering and events center located at 2230 Bryan Stock Trail, has been approved to take over the liquor license of Racks Gentlemen’s Club. This business will be owned by Johnson Restaurant Group and designed specifically for corporate parties, weddings, celebrations of life, fundraisers, and more.

Racks’ owner Sonny Pilcher filed for bankruptcy following financial difficulties that led to the bar closing in March. The bankruptcy court had approved the transfer application and was waiting for the Natrona County Board of County Commissioners’ decision before moving forward with Racks’ proceedings.

The board unanimously voted to transfer the liquor license to Season’s Hall, which will feature an on-site commercial kitchen, an outdoor garden area and gazebo, bridal and groom suites for weddings, stages, and more. The business will consist of two spaces that can accommodate a large variety of event sizes; seating around 250 people in one space and about 80 in the other.

Johnson hopes to see Season’s Hall opened by summer 2024. Renovations of the interior facility won’t be extensive but Johnson plans to install a cement sound barrier along the road in front of the building to reduce traffic noise during events. The business is looking to hire staff closer to the opening date and Johnson is excited about this new addition under his company umbrella.
