Hidden inside Ace’s Run, Evelyn’s is an intimate reservation-only speakeasy where handcrafted cocktails, rare spirits, and meaningful conversation come together in an atmosphere inspired by another era.
Rich deep red walls, candlelight, mirrored back bars, jazz, and timeless hospitality create an experience unlike anything else at Deep Creek Lake.
Whether you’re beginning your evening with cocktails before dinner, lingering over a nightcap, or celebrating with friends, Evelyn’s was designed for nights worth remembering.
Named after the original owner of the property, Evelyn’s celebrates the spirit of gracious hospitality and unforgettable evenings. Evelyn loved a well-made martini, lively conversation, and believed there was never a reason to rush a good night.
That philosophy continues today.
“Good conversation, a strong cocktail, and no reason to rush home.”
At Evelyn’s, every drink is made with intention.
Our menu features a thoughtfully curated selection of handcrafted cocktails, premium spirits, rare bourbons, classic martinis, and timeless favorites, all prepared with an emphasis on quality, balance, and presentation.
Whether you’re discovering a new favorite, savoring a rare pour, or enjoying a perfectly executed classic, every cocktail is designed to complement the atmosphere and invite you to slow down, settle in, and enjoy the evening.
Our menu evolves with the seasons, offering fresh inspiration while honoring the classics that never go out of style.
Start your evening downstairs before your dinner reservation at Ace’s Run. Relax with handcrafted cocktails and elevated small plates before being escorted upstairs for dinner.
