Forty Two

For a cozier environment, there are the warm and rich tones of Forty Two, the on-site and full service restaurant for the Clinton Center. Located on the northern edge of the facility, Forty Two and its 2,500 square feet offers guests sweeping views of the Arkansas River and the 1899 Rock Island rail-road bridge, one of the inspirations for the bridge-like building.

Forty Two also features a river view terrace, where modern architecture and natural beauty converge. Forty Two can be leased after hours and can accommodate 120 people for a seated dinner or up to 200 people reception style.
