The rustic little gastropub opened up in 2014 but like many buildings in the area, the building has a much older history.
CellarDoor is located within the historic Swoop-Duggins House in the Upper Central Business District.

The house dates back to the 1830s and has worn many hats over the years. In addition to several restaurants that have come and gone over the years, the building was actually home to one of the longest running brothels in New Orleans.
The three-story building is easily one of the most beautiful in the city.

The rustic and intimate dining room is the perfect atmosphere for meeting up with loved ones and enjoying some delightful cocktails paired with an amazing dinner.
There certainly isn’t a bad seat in the house, but the Chef’s Table will make for one of the most memorable dining experiences you can have in New Orleans.

Located directly behind the kitchen in a home-library-themed space, you’ll experience a one-of-a-kind dinner with a one-off five-course tasting menu alongside cocktail and wine pairings. The Chef’s Table is only available Monday-Thursday, and reservations need to be made at least five days in advance, so plan ahead!
