Lounges in New Orleans, LA

“The hotel is charming, the food is great with generous portions, the carousel bar is fun and the hotel staff are amazing! Special shout out to Nolan, Nicholas, Jorge, and Sanoid ( may have missed spelled. so sorry!).I would definitely stay there again!“

“Recent dinner at the Jazz Bistro. Food was impeccable. service by server Sarah, was inconsistent and inattentive. Struggled to get her attention to place order. She ignored us for table of six. Surly, rude, unhelpful, no personality. spoke with young manager on duty; he listened, but said NOTHING in response to my concerns.(I identified myself as a former food and beverage manager with Hyatt Hotels and considerable restaurant experience.) Don't expect attention here, even if your needs are minimal. Other staff were charming, which made Sarah look even more inept.“

“I have been sending people to Bar Tonique for close to a year from my position as liquor vault manager at the Sazerac House. So many return to tell me what a great experience they had & to thank me for recommending it. I have left the position at Sazerac House & won't be sending any more from there, Good luck to all the craftsmen & women behind this truly wonderful place!“

“My favorite bar in New Orleans! Amazing staff with great service, always friendly and ready for conversation. Queer/trans-friendly. Quirky weird shit playing on the TVs. Usually late night food trucks from local vendors, including awesome yakamein, a New Orleans classic.“

“Stopped infor the first time yesterday and couldn't believe what I have been missing! I had the BEST Bloody Mary I've had in years, and the frozen concoction they were serving tasted like heaven. We will definitely be making this a regular stop.“

“Alaina is the best bartender ever!!!“

“wonderful staff and loved the seafood boil on Monday!“

“THIS IS NEW ORLEANS. Nuff said.“

“This is a high end bar on the second floor of The Windsor Court Hotel. Very cute boutique hotel with all of the amenities. The bar can be pretty loud when it’s busy. There is also a piano player in the evenings. Drinks are good and food is tasty as well. Nice and comfortable furniture to relax.

Parking: Downtown New Orleans is always difficult to find parking

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily wheelchair accessible“

“Charlie Kelly is New Orleans Jesus. A god among men. The best bartender the world has ever known. He will always make you feel welcome and is a kind soul, but cross him and we will beat your ass, especially if you try to steal our cab or start a lame fight. Love you buddy!“

“One of my favorite bars in Nola. The good kind of divey, a list of Boilermakers, and you can order from sidecar next door (some of the best raw oysters in Nola, and also their full menu), they'll deliver it right to your seat at the bar.“

“I live close by and have passed this place so many times on the way to work but never had the time to stop in until today cos I wanted a fun place to go to celebrate my birthday and I've never been one for the maddening crowd that goes along with the vibe that Bourbon St. has. This place is absolutely a great little gem for those who just want to relax and have a drink. The bartender is a complete sweetheart and so friendly, the drinks are very affordable AND strong and I very much enjoyed celebrating my birthday there! It's kind of like the New Orleans version of Cheers LOL I just hope at some point they will have karaoke on the weekends but I will definitely be frequenting there more often from now on.“

“Taylor was awesome knowledge about drinks and was perfect on suggestions when you told them your favorite flavors“

“DIVINE! I had such a good time! Had a few cocktails and snacks while chilling out and resting tired feet after touring the AMAZING WWII Museum! I came up at 4:30 and stayed past 8:00 to get pictures of the fabulous sunset from the outdoor terrace. The only thing that took away from an otherwise perfect experience was a bunch of noisy unattended little rug rats running around, screeching like Banshees and disrupting adulat at a place kids should not even be allowed in! It's a wine and cocktail bar, not ChuckieCheeses! Ugh! I do not understand parents who so rudely disrupt a place and time for adult who do not want such obnoxious interrupting! It really is thoughtless and rude! I do wish the wait staff had told them no minors!

I even moved from one end of the terrace to the other to get away from the bratty daycare and they followed me! It was so disrespectful! Next time: these people need to spend a few of the MANY $$$$$ they spent on a babysitter! The certainly splurged on the drinks and food so they could afford it and there were several families and generations. Someone could have babysat or afforded a babysitter! 😡😡😡“

“The Baseline: For a in hotel restaurant lounge it must have a good drink menu, excellent appetizers, and a stellar staff to bring out the experience.

Food: Just had drinks. The old fashion was well made and they are stiff drinks in New Orleans.

Service: Great service from the bartender. Fast and efficient.

Ambiance: Wow! The views are incredible and the feeling is relaxed which is a nice escape from the French Quarter.“

“loved it! perfect place to watch the Saint's game!“

“Bartenders were amazing!!! ‘‘Twas a quiet ish night but the vibe was right and bartender 1 made me feel at home. Later bartender 2 did as well, as did the male patrons for this queer femme. Bartender 1 knew I had work the next day and made sure my water was filled along with my G&T. 10/10“

“This restaurant has never failed to excite my tastebuds and bring culinary joy to my life. One of our favs!!!“

“Spectacular property within new building so air conditioning works great and no mold in the ventilation system like many older hotels in NOLA! Love the rooftop pool, rooms, bars, restaurants, lobby remote work area and library, location, VIBE! Spend the extra $$! #YOLO!“

“Went to see their Insane Clown P***y show on 10/11/2024 …. INSANE!!!! My birthday was made better because of the experience. My only bit of improvement would be if they had some drink service for the VIPs as it was difficult trying to head to the bar for an order with all the guest in attendance. Overall … everyone NEEDS to go at least once in their life.“

“We enjoyed lunch here on Mother’s Day with the stepdaughter and daughter-in-law. Our burgers were delicious. The atmosphere was nice and the music was great also. Will definitely go back.“

“Great spot for casual outdoor (or indoor) food and drinks. Excellent beer, wine, and spirit selection. The food is also criminally underrated. There’s not much better than goose-fat fries and mussels. Go on a cool afternoon and listen to the streetcar roll by. A local favorite for a reason.“

“very friendly good back yard great bar“

“Great way to see the city. The various exhibits were very informative and interactive.“

“All the above, great atmosphere, great people! Top notch with the most welcoming and friendly people! Wish I could give it 6 stars!“

“Lit💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥🔥great spot to party“

“I just wanted to say what an amazing staff you have! My husband and I have been trying to get to drip for a while now and we finally made it. It was a spur of the moment so I didn’t make reservations. We sat at the bar and to see the interactions with the staff warmed my heart! Emily ( behind the bar) was excellent! She was so patient with the staff, while she never stopped working, she still made time to tend to her customers, answer questions for the staff and even teach them how to do things to help. I adore your establishment and wish we would ah e come sooner! But we WILL be back! and you guys will always be a top recommendation for everyone who asks places to go! Your staff from the door to the bar EXCELLENT! Kudos! the desserts and drinks were amazing! Cheers to DRIP and to many more years!“

“It’s such a lovely & elaborate hotel. Club Access level is a must. Staff is friendly & accommodating. Lovely vibe at Afternoon tea. I only wish checkin process was better. But I will definitely be staying at this location often.“

“Great people! Great Music! Good times! That New Orleans thing y’all!“

“We arrived early for the Thievery Concert to eat dinner not realizing the restaurant was closed. Alex invited us to the Foundation Room to eat dinner. What an amazing experience! Jeremy and Blaine took care of us at the bar and the food was delicious (chicken tacos and fried cauliflower). We had the best time and really enjoyed the VIP treatment. It was a lovely evening. Thank you Alex, Jeremy and Blaine. ✨“

“Great music and excellent food!!!“

“Great people! Great Music! Good times! That New Orleans thing y’all!“

“When we arrive, we were greeted by the bartender Clashida she was very friendly. We did not have a waitress, so the young lady had to be our waitress also our bartender for our appetizer we ordered a sweet chili wings, which was delicious. We also ordered the steak platter and the seafood platter.The seafood platter was salty also fried hard. Also the hush puppies look like it was fried with the same batter, it was a disappointment continuing on we ordered the bread pudding egg roll it also was delicious but if I had to order again, I would not be ordering the seafood platter. My friend and I also enjoyed our beverages. We ordered the alcohol beverages and it was very delicious. She did not miss a beat on those drinks so if you ever in New Orleans, please stop by the restaurant and meet. Clashida so she can make you a drink. You won’t be disappointed.“

“February 19th, 2020. Husband's 50th. Wanted a Mardi Gras birthday. He went to 'Bead & Boobs' on Bourbon whilst my short self wandered in this bar mid afternoon. I found a bar stool, kicked back and let Houla introduce me to a lovely spiced rum which became my companion the rest of the evening. The bar itself was clean, bathrooms were kept up and had a slappin playlist pumping. I watched drunken drama come in and out: a young couple saddled up and in mid drink the boyfriend realized he was surrounded by gays so he bolted, a gentleman asked me to babysit his darling Yorkie while he drained his snake, but the best was watching Houla superhero himself over the bar to rescue a very intoxicated woman from a total creep. That was legend! Enjoyed my 7 hour stay. Everyone needs to be here!!“

“Awesome You need to experience the aviance“

“My co-worker took me here, first time for me. I will say I felt comfortable and was treated with much love and respect from the patrons as well as the owner! The owner is an incredible person and gives back to his community! Very nice, strong daiquiris and excellent vibe. Thank you, Mr. Love for the introduction. It was an absolutely great time!“

“Great neighborhood joint!“

“Very friendly , reasonably priced excellent bar staff def b back 🍺👍“

“The best place to be for the grown and sexy!!“

“The last few times we've gone, the burgers have been the best ever..... and don't get me started on their chili cheese fries! By far THE ABSOLUTE BEST we've ever had! I haven't found a place yet that can come even close to theirs! Keep up the great work guys!“

“The Hermes bar is part of Antoine’s and we stopped in for a cocktail before our dinner reservations. We sat at the bar and perused the menu as well as started up a conversation with the bartenders.

The bar itself probably seats around 10 people however the room is large and has numerous tables in it. The bar itself has a old New Orleans decadent feel, and the walls have displays about various events during Mardi Gras over the years. Lots of cool pictures and memorabilia.

Being in New Orleans I decided to order a Vieux Carre one of the historic drinks of New Orleans. My wife ordered an old-fashioned. Both drinks were very good and the conversation with the bartender informative as we were looking for additional places to explore while we were in the city for a few days.

Not all bars are created equal, this one had the ambience the great drinks and the great wait staff. I highly recommend it.“

“We were welcomed warmly once we entered. Someone from the restaurant even called to check to see if I still had food limitations as I hadn't updated my open table profile. One of the servers even played the piano while we ate. Our main server was so nice and gave us suggestions on what to see while we were in town. The fried chicken dinner was very filling and well priced.“

“the music is good the drinks are great DJ is rolling and security on front enjoy and party“

“I do indeed like this little hotel bar.

I’ve been wanting to visit and tonight was the night it finally happened.

Upon walking in, I noticed this spot is an actual lounge. There are board games, tv’s , a pool table— I love that vibe. Stopping in on a Friday I knew jt would be slow as Fridays in the city can be slow at hotel bars, everyone who is in town is most likely on Bourbon or other parts the city and not the bar at their hotel. I can’t remember the bar tenders name but he was kind and friendly. Although the drink I wanted to order couldn’t be made due to out of stock ingredients, I enjoyed two glasses of champagne.

Service, great!
Food, I can’t judge because the kitchen was closed.
Location, perfect.. CBD, two blocks away from Bourbon.

I can’t wait to go back next week to try the drink I have my eyes on.“

“Wings and burgers are exceptional! Outside Patio is so inviting!“

“Quiet bar for the location, absolutely beautiful decor, and the 7 deadly sins cocktails are beautifully crafted. On our trip we came here multiple times, once we decided to order food and for bar food it BLEW US AWAY! The crab and corn bisque is to DIE FOR“

“Very exceptional view even during the day it’s an 9 out of 10 worth the stay“

“cool vibe. nice bartender. clean enough bathrooms“
