About Twenty-Two Doors

History, craft, & Community meet at twenty-two Doors

Our Story

Twenty-two Doors has been created around the idea of collaboration, craftsmanship, and a love of History. We have always believed that we should be able to find ways to integrate architecture, atmosphere, and Experience into our restaurants and bars.

What’s Behind the Name?

We took inspiration from the focal point of our restaurant and bar, which features a stunning 1 of a kind mahogany door bar made from 22 original solid mahogany Doors. The Doors were taken from the original wardrobes from the Camlin Hotel in seattle. This gave us a chance to breathe new life into some of seattle's historical artifacts.

From there we have continued to source all of the architectural elements throughout twenty-two Doors. Each element has a different story behind it. We have incorporated many salvaged materials along with many unique vintage items throughout the entire building. All of these elements add to the character of twenty-two Doors.

Designed with History

Twenty-two Doors' interior is a highly curated collection of architectural elements that include:

  • Railings from the former Seattle Opera House

  • Chandeliers from the former eugene red lion

  • Intricate wood carvings from a now-defunct Chinese restaurant

All of these elements were acquired by way of auction and salvage from 2nd Use Building Materials. This is how we are able to give our guests an authentic and rich Experience when they dine at twenty-two Doors.

The Experience

When you walk through our Doors at twenty-two Doors, we want you to know that we do not view great dining as only being about the food. That is why we strive to provide an Experience that allows our guests to relax, socialize and enjoy themselves. Whether you are here for a fun evening out, celebrating something special or enjoying a creative drink at the bar, we intend for your visit to be memorable.
