51 ELLIOTT STREET
ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30313 | CASTLEBERRY HILL Famed Elliott Street Pub + Living Space exclusively marketed by:
LUCAS CARTER
Named to many `best bars in the country’ lists, Elliott Street Deli & Pub is well known for its authentic neighborhood hospitality, mouthwatering sandwiches, yummy cocktails, ice cold beer, proximity as the closest pub to the Mercedes Benz Stadium, its unique upstairs inn (The Elliott) and legendary local music and art scene.
“Atlanta’s Best Bar * Started as an Accident” This exceptional property began as a burned-out, abandoned building built circa 1870. Originally, it was a carriage house to service the busy central business, city and capitol districts of `original’ Atlanta. From the early 1950’s until 1982 - 51 Elliott Street was home to the legendary Jazz club “The Birdcage” which hosted many notables in the music world, including Isaac Hayes, Gladys Knight, and Curtis Mayfield, just to name a few. After an almost million-dollar complete rebuild/renovation which left nothing but the brick walls of this turn-of-thecentury building remaining, a notable neighborhood watering hole was created and a legacy continued. Now, 13 years later, established and thriving, this Pub is a staple on the Atlanta food, music, art, nightlife and just `cool-place to hang out’ scene with an Award-winning reputation for the `Best Sandwich in the City’ and a place to hear some of the most talented musicians in the world. *Vice Magazine, November 2018

THE
PAST Built circa 1870, 51 Elliott Street was originally created as a carriage house to service the busy central business, city and capitol districts of Atlanta, the impressive Terminus building that was the transportation hub for the city, as well as the burgeoning Southern Railroad. Over the years the building has had other owners and functions. From the early 1950’s until 1982 51 Elliott Street housed one of the first real estate/ loan/insurance companies owned by an African American businessman in the city. The building’s basement during this time was home to the legendary Jazz club “The Birdcage” which hosted many notables in the music world, including Isaac Hayes, Gladys Knight, and Curtis Mayfield just to name a few. In the 1980’s a mass exodus of the city’s population moved to the suburbs, and 51 Elliott Street was abandoned and fell into disrepair. By 2004 the property was a burned out, boarded up building, covered in graffiti. Standing in front of the property in late 2004, Michael and Peter Jakob - two brothers - saw: The CNN Center, Phillip’s Arena, The Georgia Dome, The World Congress Convention campus, The Atlanta Federal Court House, and the arrayed and growing skyline of Atlanta’s downtown businesses and hotels - all within walking distance from the front door of this storied old building, on a forgotten street, right in front of everything. Having operated their own, nationally successful General Contracting and building business for 14 years (“Jakob Brothers Construction”), they knew what to look for in a building and this was it; solid. After making it to the roof and seeing the stunning view of the “Capitol of the South”, it was obvious this was the spot.
THE
PRESENT The complete renovation of 51 Elliott Street was literally done by the Jakob Brothers themselves, from wall-to-wall; from the basement floor to the tar on the rooftop. This modern restoration has taken 51 Elliott Street from history, into the 21st century. In the two-story residence, the two master bedroom suites, two and a half bathrooms, and a large modern kitchen/dining/living room are perfect for entertaining. There is also a half-kitchen in one of the suites, as well as a living room offering great views of the city. This space – now operating as the eclectic and sought after downtown Atlanta place to stay `The Elliott Inn’ - was purposefully built to be split into separate apartments, or offices, with its own separate entrances and bathrooms – or opened as a whole spacious house, if desired. The notable `Elliott Street Deli and Pub’, contains an enclosed patio and a full basement which were built using salvaged material from the original building giving it an atmosphere not found anywhere else in Atlanta. The small sandwich station is perfect for high volume - with 100+ orders and specialized catering easily handled by one person. The covered patio has a wood stove, and can comfortably sit twenty people, even more with sidewalk seating. Currently, the basement which has dual entrance access from the pub above and the outside itself - houses an active, live-music venue called “The 51”. The “plug-and-play” destination - with stage, lighting, sound board, PA, as well as a separate downstairs bar, dressing room, and acoustics which carry the spirit of legends - make this a coveted gig for bands and music lovers alike. In addition to almost nightly live music, (which often during nice weather also brings performances outside) “The 51” is a multifunctional room hosting events ranging from gallery exhibits, photography shooting location, community organization meetings, slam poetry readings, CD release parties, after hours jazz and much more. Also, because of the property’s proximity to the Mercedes Benz Stadium where both the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United play, sports fans make game days busy ones for this pub.
Included in the Property Package: The Elliott Street Deli and Pub: An established and thriving, award-winning staple in the Atlanta food, music and art scene The Elliott Inn: a thriving three-unit hospitality business located just above the Pub, with robust bookings well into 2020 already 2500 square-foot fenced in and partiallycovered, concrete parking lot Two large carports and storage Separate entrance to the building’s residential, private spaces.
New 1,000 cubic foot walk-in cooler and 12 draft tap bar on the patio. This property is also a highly sought-after, star-filled, film location with shooting rates/ fees already established in the thriving Georgia movie/tv business with bookings approximately 8 times a year. The parking area is also used for holding large scale outdoor events hosting hundreds of people, such as the `Iron Pour’ (a distinguished event created by ESP in Partnership with the AMA: Atlanta Metal Arts), takes place as part of Castleberry Hill’s monthly neighborhood `Art Stroll’, showcasing Atlanta’s premier art district, which the property is a part of.
The Elliott Inn Located above the Elliott Street Pub, this three-unit hospitality business is currently popular on AirBnB, with bookings well into 2020. The future owner will have the luxury to enjoy the ideal `Live, Work, Play’ lifestyle by taking advantage of one of the units themselves, or, returning the whole house to their own home or office space.
THE
FUTURE With the rare and desirable 1800’s building on the exterior, and the fine and meticulous “Jakob Brothers” craftsmanship on the interior - this building is expected to be standing centuries from now, with more historical tales ahead of it left to tell. While there is no need to change a thing, there is room for expansion and growth. For instance the patio could be closed to become a large commercial kitchen; or the bar could be expanded to accommodate scores more people by removing the back wall (this would use a portion of the living space). A deck big enough for hundreds could be built inside the adjacent lot; or, the residential space could be used as a revenue source in as many ways as you can think of.
BONUS! The original renovation plan as already-APPROVED by the city, contains a full THIRD FLOOR expansion for 51 Elliott Street. All of the materials for the addition are in storage, on the premises, waiting to be assembled. After completion this third floor apartment space would allow the owner a spectacular 360-degree view of the city. The building could also be built on the existing concrete carport pad, allowing for another store front or to expand the current business. (For additional negotiation) Additionally, this property actually holds (2) addresses #51 & #49. And, #51 Elliott Street holds the height variance and the air rights for any building built within a 150ft radius or vertically of the property.

THE
NEIGHBORHOOD
Castleberry Hill is a unique urban community with a strong historic identity. The population is culturally diverse and the area is continuing to grow in both the number of residents as well as retail and other establishments. Originally part of the renegade “Snake Nation” community, by the Civil War the area was becoming more industrialized. Factories producing building materials, cotton warehouses and grocery stores began popping up. One of those local grocers was Daniel Castleberry, for whom the neighborhood was eventually named. After falling on hard times, the empty warehouses and factories began to be converted to lofts spaces in the early 1990s. The 1996 Atlanta Olympics saw another influx of development. Today the area is thriving with retail shops, restaurants, apartments and condos. The close proximity to the heart of Downtown, incredible walkability, entertainment options and easy access to highways and public transportation, offer Castleberry Hill residents an unparalleled quality of life. Castleberry Hill also serves as a filming location for many movies & television shows, with The Elliott St Deli & Pub seen in films like Kate Hudson’s “The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Kevin Hart’s “Ride Along, and Norman Reedus’ “Triple Nine”.
