The Green Door is closed
We received a flood of tips this week regarding the closing of the Green Door in Evelyn Hills Shopping Center. We didn’t want to believe the rumors. But alas, they were true.
The Green Door is officially closed for business.
As sad as it is to see a live music venue close its doors, at least the Green Door went out with a bang. According to Tuned In the venue’s final show, a Punkinhead reunion, was completely sold out.
With this news, it also looks like the Wednesday night Jazz Jam series will have to find a new home. Anybody got any ideas?
We wish former owners Robert Hatfield and April Lizana the best in whatever they next pursue.
If anyone out there has been considering opening a live music venue, here’s your chance. With a great room, plenty of parking and a private club liquor license, someone else could certainly try their hand at the biz.
Any takers?

Maybe someone should make it into a hot R&B dance club, name it something like “The Room at Evelyn Hills”, advertise the hizzell out of it on 105.7 and invite every douchebag from West Fork to Pea Ridge to a giant douche-out every weekend.
No Mexicans, unless they’re pouka shell wearing popped colla mexicans.

I’m sad for Robert and April and all their customers and vendors, the musicians and dancers, and everybody.
About a year ago, I started hearing people call Evelyn Hills “the New Dickson Street,” and I kind of agreed. Dickson has been sterilized with the exceptions of George’s and the Pool Hall Museum (the back pool half hall of Roger’s Rec). Evelyn Hills had the Green Door, and still has the fish market, the natural food store, a Chinese buffet, Chuck E. Cheese, Uncle Sam’s, and, uh, some other cool stuff.
I hope somebody who can afford to weather some tough times takes over the Green Door and benefits from Robert and April’s hard work, but I can’t think of anybody better suited to pull it off than those two. They got Levon Helm to play there. We haven’t had a rock and roll hall of famer play in this town since the last time Levon played here.
