Thank you all who commented and shared our post about our Chef’s Table event featuring Chef Evan Luey. The event is now sold out! Here’s to more to come!

As we work to get our bar and kitchen open full time, we’ll continue to host private and ticketed events, working to bring in a range of food options at different price points. Following this Chef’s Table, the next event at The Melody Lodge is the Speculator Region Chamber of Commerce’s Winter Ball taking place Feb 7th. Tickets can be purchased at the link here:

We appreciate your patience as we continually work to open the restaurant and bar. We are working within our new normal, which includes our son, who is facing some extra challenges after being born very early. Getting The Melody Lodge open for the community is still a focus for us, but priorities have shifted a bit as we spend time as a family of three. Thank you for understanding!

To start off in 2026, we'll be opening our doors first with some ticketed events. Please join us January 24th for a Chef's Table curated by Chef Evan Luey. Limited tickets for this pre-fixe dinner are available and can be purchased at the link below. We will be offering a limited cash bar and doors will open at 5pm with dinner service to follow. Looking forward to seeing you at The Melody!

Thank you to Speculator Region Chamber of Commerce for hosting their fundraiser in our newly renovated space and to all attendees for the support and kind feedback. We couldn’t think of a better first look at our renovation than opening our doors in support of our community.

Want to give a huge thanks to M&K Construction and Restoration LLC for helping bring our vision to life, for sticking with us through all the surprises that inevitably pop up when renovating a 110+ year old building, and for bringing in great partners for additional help like PHJ Holdings, LLC.

As soon as we have news about opening dates and future plans, you’ll find updates here on our page. In the meantime, now that the cat's out of the bag, check out some photos from our renovation so far.

Next Sunday's benefit is not only a great way to support the O'Rourkes, but it's also your chance to own a piece of The Melody Lodge history. We're donating 2 mugs along with a gift card to Speculator Spirits to help raise money for the family while Sean focuses on his recovery.

**We will announce at a later date what our plan is for the remaining mugs--please be patient**

The Melody Lodge has been a staple in the community for years, and as the new owners, we're lucky to be a part of its future. Our intentions with our plans, renovation, and new logo are to honor the history of the building and our surroundings.

We couldn't think of a better way to pay homage than to include a songbird in our logo, representing both the building's history as a singing school and the local wildlife that we're lucky to be surrounded by here in the Adirondacks.

Thank you all for your excitement and kind words as we continue our work to get the building updated. We'd like to thank M&K Construction and Restoration LLC for being our renovation partners and for helping us preserve some of the history found between our walls.

While it will take us longer to get the kitchen and restaurant open, we are planning to open our doors in a small capacity this fall. As plans and dates get updated, we'll share more information here!
