Old-School Glamour: The Door
Step into the past with a date night at The Door, a newly opened hidden speakeasy in the heart of Downtown Ellijay that brings the fun and thrill of the Roaring 20s back to the 2020s! Behind its unassuming entrance lies a secret lounge filled with beautifully crafted chandeliers, luxurious leather furnishings, and shelves lined with premium spirits, wines, and locally crafted beers.
Raise A Glass To The Roaring 20s
Inspired by the glamour of the Gatsby era, The Door’s menu offers classic cocktails with a modern twist. The Model “T” , their version of the Old Fashion, is a luxurious drink featuring vanilla-infused Woodford bourbon, Woodford chocolate bitters, brown sugar simple syrup, and is finished with a cinnamon stick and an orange swathe for a sophisticated touch.
A crowd favorite is the Bee’s Knees Margarita, a bold mix of Patrón tequila, Brooklyn Mike’s hot honey, peach blossom liqueur, and fresh lime juice, served in a Tajín-rimmed glass for a perfect hint of spice. For lovers of timeless elegance, the Espresso Martini adds a modern flair to classic glamour.
But the true showstopper is The Tommy Gun. This masterpiece blends Tia Maria, chocolate coffee liqueur, Bulleit bourbon, and orange bitters. Hickory-smoked in-house, it’s garnished with an orange swathe for a rich, smoky finish. From imported wines to locally produced hard ciders, every glass is crafted to dazzle, ensuring each sip feels like a star of the show.
Two Is Better Than One
To pair with your drink of choice, enjoy tasty bites at The Door including Georgia-grown peanuts, roasted red pepper hummus, and charcuterie boards. But to complete your truly unforgettable experience, head to The Roof of Ellijay, just a few floors above The Door!
This fine dining destination combines exquisite flavors with stunning mountain views, where you can savor gourmet dishes while taking in the picturesque town square. The Roof’s menu shines with offerings such as premium steaks and regionally-caught fish, but you can’t go wrong with their signature bologna sliders.
Sit Back, Relax, Don’t Tell
Every good act has its twist, and entry at The Door requires a little more than knocking. Only those who know the magic words get inside this hidden gem. And once you’re in? As they say, ‘Sit back, relax, and don’t tell.’ The Door is Ellijay’s best-kept secret and worth every whisper.
And yes, we are here to see a man about a horse! 😉
Not every door is what it seems, especially in Downtown Ellijay, Georgia! 🌃✨
