Elaine’s Cocktail Kitchen: A New Spot in Downtown Frisco
Founded in 2024, Alora Hospitality Group (AHG) is making its debut in Downtown Frisco with Elaine’s Cocktail Kitchen. The restaurant is located at 8763 7th St in Downtown Frisco. Donny Churchman, CEO of Nack Development, and hospitality entrepreneur Jason Young founded AHG to elevate hospitality in downtowns.
Elaine’s joins AHG’s growing portfolio of thoughtfully crafted hospitality concepts. Visitors can enjoy delicious plates and craft cocktails from Tuesday through Saturday from 4 to 9 pm.

Inside the Vintage-Inspired Interiors
Designed by Burress Design Group, the interior offers warmth and a welcoming vintage essence. Emerald velvet sofas, marble-topped tables, and vintage chandeliers create a warm, nostalgic atmosphere.
With just 44 seats inside and bistro-style patio seating, Elaine’s offers an elevated environment that’s ideal for full-service dining, private dinners, and cocktail gatherings.
“When you dine at Elaine’s, the design is your first introduction – inviting, layered, and full of character,” says Christina Burress, Owner and Principal Designer of Burress Design Group. “But it’s the exceptional food and thoughtfully crafted cocktails that complete the experience, working in harmony with the atmosphere to create something truly memorable.”
