American Townhouse

"American Townhouse is one of New Orleans’s newest gay-owned bars and restaurants from the folks behind the legendary 700 Club — if you know, you know. Located across from Armstrong Park, the bar and restaurant is part of the Rampart Street Renaissance and brings together craft cocktails and elevated bar food in a renovated historic house and a classic French Quarter courtyard. GrrlSpot, New Orleans’s incredible pop-up lesbian dance party, is hosting a kickoff to Pride weekend party here on Friday, June 7, beginning at 7 p.m." - Adriana Lopez, Clair Lorell

"American Townhouse is on the very edge of the French Quarter, which means you probably won’t have to deal with tourists from Florida shouting to people on balconies for beads when you’re trying to get in. It’s also one of the better places that’s open on Fat Tuesday, where you can relax and get into some elote dip, boudin and cream cheese egg rolls, and a crispy fried chicken and bacon sandwich that’s stuffed between two waffles and drizzled with hot honey and cane syrup. Order the frozen pomegranate mayhaw cocktail or one of their particularly tasty $6 mocktails." - megan braden perry

"American Townhouse on N. Rampart Street sets a high bar for pub cuisine. The expansive 1857 Greek Revival townhouse sets the stage for the likes of elote and loaded waffle fries, waguy burger, kale caesar and a hot honey fried chicken sandwich. Cocktails are first rate too." - Beth D'Addono

"American Townhouse is the Quarter’s newest queer-owned bar and restaurant set in a renovated 1857 Greek Revival townhouse across from Armstrong Park. The bar is part of the Rampart Street Renaissance, home to a classic French Quarter courtyard and first-rate craft cocktails, not to mention strong bar food. Go for the Friday $5 martini happy hour and stay for the loaded waffle fries and kale Caesar." - Clair Lorell
