Went for a casual Friday evening with friends. Sat outside. The service was impeccable and cooperative. They created whatever we wanted without any hassle. This might be the best bar in the entire university area of uptown.

Amazingly eclectic, historic and being right next to the park adds to its elegance.

Very good drinks and the food options were surprisingly complex in a way that was bot surprising and delightful. I got the daily punch, candy remember what was in it but it was delish. We ordered a bunch of small plates and happy hour items, all were winners. The cauliflower was both crispy and spicy with a delicious cabbage in it. The potatoes were huge, but savory. There was some kind of cheese bread, v good. Overall highly recommend.

We came in on a Sunday afternoon because we saw the signs from the road. Had several very good cocktails and a nice conversation with the bartender. The whole place is peacock themed, which is fun.
The Gilded Perch is a brand new bar located inside the Historic Parkview Inn. It’s a great place for guests to grab a drink or locals to stop by and stay awhile. A small family owned business, The Gilded Perch has a homey and elegant feel. Paired with the friendly staff, professionally made cocktails, and top-notch service, this really is a special place.

A lovely new spot for a drink in a unique, New Orleans setting. The Gilded Perch is a welcome addition to the New Orleans bar scene. You can either sit on the porch overlooking Audubon Park and St. Charles Avenue or inside in the beautiful, elegant hotel lobby on comfortable sofas. If you want a place to have a quiet drink without having to deal with the traffic and crowds of the lower Garden District or downtwon, this is a perfect place. The drinks are festive and reasonably priced and there's even an option for cheese and charcuterie if you want a bite. A gorgeous, convenient and hospitable place.

Great cocktail options, especially for those looking to try a classic with a twist. All beers are from local brewers (mostly on Tchop)

The Park View Historic Hotel on St. Charles Avenue overlooking Audubon Park now has a bar. The Gilded Perch opened two months ago and serves new and classic cocktails in a glamorous space.The Park View dates back to 1884, when it was built to welcome guests of the World International and Cotton Exposition at Audubon Park. The building was purchased and fully restored by Liz and Terry Creel in 2008.The hotel feels as if you're staying in a friend's home -- that is, if your friend has decadent taste and hosts a bar in the parlor. The Gilded Perch gives New Orleanians a chance to venture into the hotel listed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks, see the collection of antiques inside, and enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail on the patio or sprawling porch. The décor at the bar is certainly unique. While much of it came with the Park View when the Creels bought it, perhaps the most eye-catching feature is the stuffed peacocks that adorn the space. The Creels own a farm and breed 30 different types of peacocks, King said.The peacocks immortalized at the hotel all died of natural causes. Now they have assumed a stately position in the hotel.A side wall in the bar boasts a mural of two peacocks and a gilded cage, a piece by local artist and teacher Anne Smith Reeves. The bar top is made of recycled marble, and the bar itself, like the hotel, brings patrons back in time.I visited The Golden Perch on a bustling Wednesday night where the small space was at capacity with folks staying at the hotel or just stopping by for a cocktail on the Avenue. I enjoyed a Champagne Spritz with pomegranate, the perfect libation for a summer evening.The relaxed atmosphere is delightful, and the small bar encourages conversation about the day's events with friendly strangers. The Gilded Perch is a lovely spot to grab a cocktail or aperitif to sip on the hotel's porch at the beginning of an evening filled with promise or to stop in for a nightcap after dinner.

Excellent cocktail bar and a wonderful addition to the area. This stretch of St. Charles of has been lacking a nice bar near Audubon for a very long time, and the Park View Hotel delivers. For the ambiance and atmosphere, the bar is cheaper than other similar ones (like the Columns, Chloe, etc). If you are at the park, you should stop by this place.
