"A historic hotel and bar on St. Charles Avenue with a classic New Orleans setting, perfect for enjoying a drink on the picturesque front porch." - Clair Lorell
"It’s not just dinner at the Columns Hotel, it’s a party (Studio 504: Disco Forever IV), with live music, DJs, a fire show, stilt walkers, mermaids, LED performances, and on and on. For $250, it’s an evening filled with champagne, caviar, raw and chilled seafood, and desserts. There’s more food late night and even an after-party at Rabbit Hole. Tickets and more info here." - Beth D’Addono
"Chef Paul Terrebonne presides over the kitchen at this landmark on St. Charles Avenue, an Italianate-style mansion built for a wealthy tobacco merchant in 1883. Refined by a change of ownership five years ago, Columns offers a lovely dining experience on its front patio, with brunch a crowd-pleasing highlight. A thyme-scented shrimp and grits is one star of the menu, which includes a fine burger and an everything bagel piled high with smoked salmon and capers." - Beth D’Addono
"Though new owners have rebranded the historic hotel and bar to just “Columns,” the elegant spirit and vibe at this St. Charles Avenue destination endure. Drinking here is best in mild weather — a seat on the hotel’s veranda offers a gorgeous view of St. Charles Avenue. Otherwise, multiple rooms inside replete with soaring ceilings, jewel tones, and ornate plaster trim make for prime hot toddy or Irish coffee sipping spots." - Eater Staff
"The bar at this statuesque St. Charles Avenue hotel gets a shoutout in a Treme scene from Davis for being featured in the movie “Pretty Baby.”" - Missy Frederick
