About The Blue Door, in the operator's words
Hidden down a cobbled alleyway in the heart of historic Arrowtown lies one of Central Otago’s best-kept secrets. Step through the famous blue door and into a cozy speakeasy-style bar where stone walls, rustic beams, and a glowing fireplace create an atmosphere unlike any other.
Just a short drive from Queenstown, it’s a favourite hangout for locals and a must-visit for anyone spending time in Arrowtown.
