The Carousel Bar & Lounge

Bar · French Quarter

These Are New Orleans’s Very Best Bars

"Spinning for 75 years, this merry-go-round bar in the Hotel Monteleone is one of the swankiest attractions in the Quarter and offers non-rotating seats with great window views of Royal Street. The Ramos Gin Fizz is great here, but the hotel is known as the birthplace of the Vieux Carre cocktail. There’s live music in the adjacent room some afternoons and evenings." - Eater Staff
