Risen through ashes, in the spirit of history
ANCHORED IN THE HEART OF
HISTORIC DOWNTOWN ROSWELL, GA
If these walls could talk
The Artillery Room — historic Roswell’s newest gathering space and craft cocktail experience. The newly renovated 3,700 square foot space boasts upstairs loft seating and an outdoor terrace for the community to enjoy. The expansive roll-up garage door opening on Canton Street becomes the ‘gateway’ to the brewery’s compound and Gate City Taproom. This project had been dreamt of by owners Pat Rains and Brian Borngesser for years before the perfect opportunity arose. Through resilient ambition, they began to see their dreams come true in a way that honors both the history and the potential of this new gathering space.
The Artillery Room:
A HISTORY LIKE NO OTHER
Perhaps the most interesting part about this expansion is the historical relevance of the building. Owner Pat Rains said about the history, “‘The Artillery Room’ at Gate City pays respect to the history of the building and to those who came before us. 932 Canton Street was initially part of the Ford Dealership compound. Then in the ‘70s, Ed Mertimer opened the space as Ed’s Gun & Tackle, which operated until the great fire of 1984. One of the worst in Roswell history, the fire posed a unique threat to first responders due to the ammunition inside at the time — a Roswell fireman took a bullet during the incident and thankfully survived.”
The Artillery Room pays tribute to the history of the space both in name and in structure. During renovations, the history behind the walls was discovered. The original exposed brick and design elements are where local history, art, and spirits merge to create a rustic, inviting, and down-to-earth space that focuses on community and craft cocktails. In short, this historic landmark embodies the spirit of the city and will be leaving a local legacy for all patrons to enjoy.
