We only had drinks at the iconic rotating bar. Was a super cool experience, getting a seat at the bar is strictly about luck and a bit of persistence. Stick with it, it's fun and worth it! More

The bar has a cool vibe and is definitely a sight to see, but I wouldn't recommend wasting your time trying to get a seat. The bartender was overwhelmed, resulting in a long wait for drinks. It might have just been an off day, but my wife and several others noticed a strong odor in the air that resembled dirty gym socks, which was quite off-putting. Hopefully, they can address these issues.

Very nice place. Couldn't get anywhere near the Carousel Bar (which turns very slowly!) but had plenty of sitting room for drinks.

The jazz band playing here was so great. The carousel bar was really cool. The bar actually moves. It's super crowded though.

When you go look or ask for Parker. He is really attentive and so nice. The drinks were good and the food was fire. Specifically, the blue crab and corn beignets were phenomenal. It is a bit crowded but a spot opened up pretty fast.

This is a one of a kind locations. Stop what you are doing and go there today! Be patient and you might just get a seat at the carousel bar. It spins so you don't have to. Bucket list ✔️

The Carousel Bar is absolutely beautiful, and the cocktails are amazing. The bartenders are friendly and really know their craft. The live music is some of the best in the city and adds to the incredible atmosphere.

The only downside is that it’s almost impossible to get a seat at the bar since it’s packed from open to close. Still, it’s definitely worth a visit just know going in that you’ll probably be standing.

I really just came in to visit the beautiful Carousel Bar on the first floor of Hotel Monteleone.

It's such a beautiful concept, and I think it's a must-visit if you're in the area.

I was in a big group, and so we stopped in for a quick drink, but I wanted to share my pretty photos and review. :)

In every bar/restaurant I ever visit I will be expecting a Ronald. He is the breath of fresh air that pleased our afternoon. Absolute best!! Xo

This was such a fun place to experience!! It’s typically busy so we got a drink and sat on the couch while waiting for a spot to open up at the bar. It takes 15 minutes for the bar to go in full circle. The drinks were delicious!
