It all started with an idea that was realized when a mystical, crumbling building appeared before our founders. Possibly the oldest standing structure in downtown New Orleans, organically restoring the Swoop-Duggins House at 916 Lafayette St. over a 3 year period was no small task. The next step was answering the question, how do we honor this historic space while executing a modern establishment? CellarDoor serves delightfully crafted cocktails, both modern and classic, along with a brilliant yet approachable selection of fine wines and bubbles. Our culinary style can be described as seasonal international-contemporary cuisine and is locally sourced. The unique house art collection, along with our rotating art shows, hopes to make the statement that it is possible to be progressive and forward thinking, without compromising the cultural integrity of ones historic surroundings. We invite you all to come imbibe, ingest, and celebrate with us as friends of New Orleans.
