About The Carousel Bar & Lounge

The Carousel Bar & Lounge is a classic establishment located in New Orleans' French Quarter, known for its unique rotating bar that offers a memorable experience for visitors. Guests can enjoy classic NOLA cocktails and tasty dishes like crab and corn beignets, as well as truffle fries, in a lively atmosphere. The talented performers add to the overall enchanting ambiance, and the drinks have received positive feedback, with the signature cocktails like the Old Fashioned or the Espresso Martini being highly recommended. Although the food menu is limited, the blue crab and corn beignets have been praised as phenomenal. The Carousel Bar is absolutely beautiful, and the cocktails are amazing, with the bartenders being friendly and knowledgeable. The live music is some of the best in the city and adds to the incredible atmosphere. However, it can be challenging to secure a seat at the carousel, and the wait can be worth it.

I recently stayed at this hotel. My experience was great, until I got home and discovered my credit card had been charged over $4500 extra. I’ve made multiple calls to the hotel and each time been assured they could see the mistake and someone with the authority to fix the mistake would call me back. So far, I’ve not received a call back much less an apology.
While my time at the hotel was fantastic, this extreme overcharge and lack of accountability and customer service...read full review

Totally amazing in every way highly recommend. One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The room was cosy quiet despite being in the French Quarter. The luxury was in the detail and the highly professional staff at every level.

Stayed here from October 10th-14th (2025). Everything was amazing from the staff to the food, and also the Carousel Bar. Be sure to hit the rooftop pool and bar while you are there.

Only a block from Bourbon Street and right in the middle of everything. Super easy to find when you are walking the city. The classic rooftop sign is something like 300 feet wide. You can read it from miles away.

Has a very 1930s eras feel to it, and the place was immaculate. 10/10
