We kicked off our wedding weekend with a welcome party at Rosie’s on the Roof and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The view was even more stunning than I could have expected and all of our out-of-town guests were so impressed. We had a satellite bar and a section of the rooftop reserved for our party and it was so fun! The bartenders and staff were extremely warm, kind, and accommodating. When my feet were sore from wearing heels all evening, the staff went above and beyond and even got me some house slippers from the hotel downstairs! Truly outstanding service and I couldn’t recommend having your party or event here enough!

Beautiful view and atmosphere! Great spot for photos and rooftop views. Very grateful that our waitress recommended that I order the bibb salad chopped, as the lettuce was still quite large when chopped.

It was my first time here and this place surprised me with an amazing view! The food was good. Great atmosphere! 👌 #FirstTime #AmazingView #GoodFood #GreatAtmosphere

We were rooftop bar hopping so this place was the first on my list, we had a blast there and meet new people. The view is great and Lau I think this how our server’s name was 🧐 great , we didn’t try the food.

stunning view of the city! one of the only places to eat on a rooftop in nola so it was amazing

I visited this establishment yesterday, and it was great! It’s located inside the Higgins Hotel. The workers were attentive and kind. The food was decent; it’s nothing I’d pay for again. The view was beautiful. No, you do not have to pay to go here or be a hotel guest; parking is minimal, so be prepared to pay to park & walk. What I found to be a plus is the women’s restroom has hygiene products, which I feel was so convenient & thoughtful of them. Thanks Fatma, you were truly one of the best bartenders ever!

What a fun rooftopbar at The Higgins Hotel, across Magazine Street from the National WWII Museum. Rosie the Riverter theme. Good Happy Hour. Waitstaff was attentive. We had the crab stuff beignets and they were delicious. The deck has great ciews of the City

Came here to watch the sunset at this rooftop bar next to the WW2 museum and it was so great to see in person! Ordered the beignets that were BANGING!!!! Drinks were great and service is quick and friendly!

What a wonderful location to enjoy the sunset while enjoying a favorite beverage and food. Our server was knowledgeable, and the food and cocktails were amazing. What a relaxing venue to unwind discussing the day and making plans for tomorrow.

Stopped in with friends for cocktails on the rooftop patio on a late spring afternoon. Feared it would be too hot outside but there was a nice breeze up there and umbrellas to hide under from the heat. We didn't eat, so I can't tell you how the food was, but the pricey cocktails were tasty, cool, and refreshing. Juan and Rudolph took great care of us despite the table next to us growing from 8 to 20 in a sporadic fashion that kept those guys on their toes. I will be back!

The service was satisfactory. While waiting for my drinks, I observed the food being served to other customers and it did not look appetizing. Although the cocktail drinks were great, I decided not to try any of the food. The rooftop bar has recently opened and provides a pleasant atmosphere. I recommend visiting the outdoor rooftop for a stunning view of the Superdome. Overall, I would consider returning.

Omg how incredible! The views are the best!! The service is amazing! And the reveter rum drink is the best value for your money. It's at least 4 drinks in a giant thermos. And it is strong and mixed with rum. It's probably my second fav drink on the city. First, being hard to beat, the monsoon. Strongest rum drink in the city. Anyway, the service was incredible. The views were incredible... I know I said that. And the drinks were incredible. It's a nice relaxing place to hang out after soaking in all the rich history from the WWII museum.

Ordered to go. Bartender/cashier greeted us immediately. Even though I was 6 minutes late for happy hour she let me order. I ordered smash burgers for my son. He was not liking the creole food. He ate his order and most of mine. The meat was quality and moist. The shoestrings fries were hot. We enjoyed the food and customer service. We also checked out the rooftop. Gorgeous scenery but way too cold in December to linger. Wait time was quick.

Great service and teamwork from the entire bartenders and servers. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Only ate appetizers which were good. Nice breeze and view on rooftop bar. We sat inside until temperatures cooled then moved to comfortable outdoor seating.

Views were awesome! Great place for a drink before dinner or happy hour. We were staying at the hotel & took our kids up there (10 & 12 years) which was welcomed for wine, beer & Shirley temples/kiddie cocktails. Servers super friendly.

Overly expensive and the service was rather aloof. We considered eating here but after one drink we decided to take ourselves elsewhere. It does offer a nice rooftop view but comes with a price. Very little to no shade so if it's summertime it's likely too hot for most people. But spring/fall/winter it's something worth considering if you are looking for a rooftop. They do have an inside bar and tables with AC and we opted to just belly up to the bar.

Beware. The ambiance and menu represented on their wedsite are a far, far cry from the laminated paper menu and inattentive staff you get in-person!! Their excuse that they recently changed their menu and haven't updated their website fell flat given how worn the menus were. BUT it's a great view of the city. For a better one go to Hot Tin.

Super cute ww2 themed bar with a beautiful rooftop! Affordable drinks and basic bar menu, but very clean and friendly service.

Beautiful view... little over priced. Menu online didn't match what they were actually serving. Online also says a reservation is required - but we were told just to walk in.

Me and my girlfriend decided to check out the rooftop bar for the first time. The environment was great no complaints there. The view was amazing. We sat at the bar and we each had two drinks each. I close my tab which was only $50. I tipped 20% and we left. The next day my bank statement was $150. Apparently the bartender added a zero and tipped herself $100. I don't remember her name. But I hear this happens a lot in New Orleans. Word of advice pay cash!

K...it's a great great great spot Great staff Great menu I get it- It's a hotel bar and restaurant but...maybe have some food available during happy hour? For what you get the food is pricy It's good but- Pricy... The space is beautiful as is the outdoor area Bartenders were fantastic Let's get this place up and running to its fullest potential Maybe a locals discount? Also Outside needs umbrellas and or shade!!!!! It's possible!!!

Big group of us met there. Very nice hotel. Nice views from roof. It was cold and sprinkly so we stayed inside but try it on a dry night. That I know of everyone liked their drinks. I had an expresso martini had grey goose was good.

Great place to meet up with friends and colleagues for a pre-dinner drink in the Central Business District. Nice view from rooftop. Great service. Staff remembered our drinks for several rounds and they were very friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating let's you pick the best depending on the weather. Chairs and tables were not comfortable for a long stay, so meet up for a couple of rounds and make your way to your dinner reservations elsewhere.

Great ambiance, lovely views, service is subpar and wait staff has become a bit more unprofessional the last few times I've visited, food is good/light.

Great view! Cool vibe! Service.....okay. Across from WW2 museum. Didn't have food. We were pub crawling.

For a hotel bar, 5/5. Views drinksfood: cheeseburger, fries, tuna tacos, Brussel sprouts rooftop vibes of the cityclean inside and outsideDecent waiters

Food was excellent. I had the fish tacos and a yummy Pimm's cup. Service was amazing too. Polite and on top of things. Without being intrusive and overly on top of things. 10/10. The only reason there isn't 5 stars is because of the Ambiance.. I guess not exactly because even that was good. But OUTSIDE, is SO BEAUTIFUL! But unbearable!! New Orleans is too hot not to be accommodating. The establishment needs to put fans up there, get creative and safe with some form of shade. I was watching the staff suffering from heat exhaustion. ALSO!!! Why does the bathroom have the heater on? It's June. That is insane to try to potty but feel claustrophobic because of the heavy hot air in there. New fear unlocked. But yeah, service, food and location is great. But not necessarily comfortable, specially in such a nice and fancy hotel.

It's ok... just ok.. the wine was great and the price was cheaper than the menu.. great place if you stay at the hotel but.. it's ok

Many positives to Rosie's: the rooftop views of the city is amazing. It offers cocktails and many more options. Inside and outside seatings. And few food items to enjoy. The service however needs much improvement, it's slow without attention to the customers. Go and enjoy.

A great bar with great drinks and the best beignets in New Orleans - so flaky, layered, delicious, and served with chocolate sauce. Anastasia was a fantastic bartender on each night of our stay and was so friendly and was really great at her job. Definitely recommend even if you aren't staying in the Higgins.

Made an outdoor reservation for New Years Eve as we wanted to have a view with our food and drinks to ring in the new year. Reservations for the 31st were only accessible if you were a guest at the hotel (which we all were) so it was nice to see them implementing COVID protocols. Weather had been quite dreary (tons of rain) throughout the day so we weren't quite too such of what to make about the situation. Luckily for us weather held up late into the evening and we were able to enjoy our reservation. The set-up is interesting as you place your order at their window and then someone from their team brings you your food and drinks. Throughout our imbibement they would check-in on us and were very nice. Views here are superb and really create a full panographic opportunity of the city's skyline from Uptown to Westbank. I really like their fries topped with cheese and protein and those bacon wrapped brussel sprouts are divine. Ordered quite a few drinks and definitely had no complaints (although my wallet throughout my staycation would say otherwise lol). I can't wait to enjoy this rooftop again and in a post-COVID world I can see this being a very popular spot since it's accessible to the general public!

Come here for the Riveter! Definitely the drink still on my mind after many in New Orleans. We came here for some light snacks and drinks (all of which were good)... And also the rooftop views? We sat out on the rooftop at sunset which was nice enough, but the skyline isn't much to ooh and ahh over (not the hotel's fault).

Great restaurant and bar. My friend and I went here the other day and safe to say we will be back. The drinks and food were delicious. We started off with the crab beignets and riveter fries for appetizers. Both were good and a nice size for an appetizer. We had the pistol packin mama cocktail, a sweet bourbon based drink. The stand out dish was the duck confit grilled cheese. This isn't your Moms grilled cheese sandwich, this grilled cheese is made with smoked Gouda and plum sauce on a grilled croissant. The best grilled cheese I have ever had! We finished it all of with beignets for dessert. Very nice ambiance, located in the Higgins Hotel on magazine. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Due to the weather we had to sit inside but next time I will be sure to sit outside, must take advantage of the rooftop views.

My friend and I visited Rosie's for drinks and appetizers tonight and had a really nice time. I had been feeling rather down and this helped my mood immeasurably. Such a beautiful view! We tried hot buttered rum and the frenesi to drink, along with crab beignets. Everything was lovely. The hot buttered rum reminded me of warm eggnog with clove. The frenesi contains watermelon puree, orange bitters, and a nice champagne and it was refreshing and not too sweet. The beignets were probably my favorite bit. So crisp on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside, and they came with a delicious aioli dip. They were stuffed with real crab which I appreciate, and not that imitation stuff. We sat right by the railing and watched the sun go down. A relaxing evening. I'll probably be bringing friends here when they visit from out of town.

Had a great time and Arika is the best Rosie server ever! Had the Riveter (drink for 2) which came in a WWII style thermos! Had some wings which were excellent too! Can't beat the rooftop vibe! Would be back sooner but just visiting!

Really neat rooftop bar view. We shared a rum punch cocktail for 2 served in a thermos which was good and plentiful. Also shared crab beignets which were also good. Nice atmosphere and WW2 inspired attire made for 5 star review.

Great views, friendly staff, love the happy hour! Many interesting and delicious choices on the menu.

Love the vibes and view here. This place is great. Drinks and apps where really tasty. I tried pretty much the whole food menu and everything was good. Have been back a few times and every time we've had a good experience.

Beautiful rooftop dining experience. Ordered four small plates for five adults and had more than enough food, very generous sizing. Standout dishes were the char-grilled scallops and the crab beignets. Service was fine. Overall great experience and would recommend.

/ Scott is an amazing and brilliant chef! This restaurant treated me well and the food was delicious. Chef Scott changed my life with the Tuna Tacos and Scallops, as well as the Crab Beignets. Chill place, great sunset views, amazing cocktails.

The rooftop bar is amazing. The reason for the 2 stars is because we could not get served. The bartender made eye contact with us numerous times and waited on individuals that arrived after we did. We came back to the bar around 10-10:30. One of the bartenders stated, "Last call, we've had a busy night." It's unfortunate because the last time I was there, it was amazing.

Such a cute, hidden gem! The newest rooftop bar without all the crowds like Tin Roof and Monkey Board! If you're looking for a great view with food and drinks in the CBD then this is a great spot! The view is very nice and there is plenty of seating outside and indoors. The food was very delicious but I wish the menu had more options! We had the crab beignets, riveter fries, and candied bacon wrapped Brussel sprouts!

I have had two visits here with both being enjoyable for the bar and one being a disaster for the food. My first visit here was during Veteran's day when they had a nice discount for military vets so I really appreciated that gesture and had couple of beers and enjoyed the amazing rooftop bar view. I then decided to sample some of the food and got the duck confit grilled cheese sandwich which arrived cold and the duck was so full of gristle it was inedible then to add insult to injury I was given a paltry amount of fries with it. My next visit was as a part of a Yelp Elite perk and this visit went much better and the bar seemed to be far better organized than during my first visit. I told the manager about my last experience and he comped me another duck confit sandwich that was delicious and the complete opposite of the last one I had been served. The only other thing that seems a bit off to me here is that they don't offer parking validation for customers of the bar which is standard practice at most of the other places like this in the area. Overall the view alone is worth the cost of a visit here and that view does come with a premium on the price of the drinks here. My food experience here would give me some caution but they did make up for the initial bad experience I had and the crab beignets were also very nice. The portion size of the "sharables" section of their menu here I also would say are NOT sharable for the normal appetites of most men I know but maybe they would be for some ladies enjoying snacks and cocktails at this establishment. I would emphasize "snacks" as I don't think most folks would make a full meal out of most of the "sharables" menu selections here. My video review is here: https://youtu.be/jV7y9oeKjxk

April was hands down the bestest bar tender I've had the privilege of having in New Orleans. It was a special milestone birthday & she remembered my name & my husbands name. She really made me feel special & she was on top of everything. Can't say enough great things about her. I had the house bubbles on HH & my hubs had the blonde beers. Both were ice cold & good. We also had a couple of mixed drinks on our trips for HH & they were also good. The Bacon Wrapped Brussel Sprouts were delish. We ordered those on each visit. The wings & salads were good too. Definitely a good place to check out the views & visit for HH.

Such a cool quaint rooftop bar with a pretty AMAZING view on top of the beautiful Higgins Hotel. Located in a prominent part of the city right next to the WW2 Museum this is such a great treat for anyone when it comes wanting to experience a great view without going to any other rooftop. They have the option of indoor and outdoor seating. Keep in mind this is no fine dining. It's more of a chill, laid-back spot where you can go and find a seat and should expect to be greeted by a server which appears to also be working thr bar at the same time.I do that because many patrons choose to dine out on the rooftop that they should have slightly better lighting as it can be a little too dark for some, especially when it comes to reading the menu. When it comes to the food, I have tried a few items and I must say I am impressed as you can tell that the chef takes time to work on perfecting his recipes. As I was told there have been some items where their recipes have been re-done a few times to get the desired taste right and also the menu has been shorten down to the items currently featured on it to ensure they are able to focus on the top sellers with customers. I am OBSESSED with the crab beignets from the texture, flavor, and the perfect amount of crab in them. They are really good and I highly suggest them. If you looking for a pretty epic view of the city from a few different angles, this would be the place to go.

This hotel looks great. I plan on doing a staycation here this year. I arrived a few minutes early for my reservation and was greeted by the bartender as I stepped of the elevator. I had the option of indoor or outdoor seating. It was a cold night but I wanted the view. Outside was my choice. While waiting Marc, Director of Sales, came over to talk. The conversation was both informative and exciting. There are so many updates planned for the WWII museum. When it is all done, the view from Rosie's on the Roof will be one of the best in the city. I ordered the Crab Beignets, a MoJito and a club sandwich. THE CRAB BEIGNETS!!!! I have thought about them often since my visit. I will be back for more. My drink was perfect and so was the my sandwich and fries!.

This is a terrific view of the city. We tried a lots of tapas plates and shared. The loaded fries with cheese curds amazing. Our favorite plate. We also shared the crab, Caesar salad with chicken, burger, and chicken sandwich. It was all perfectly prepared and seasoned. They have happy hour specials too. The staff is attentive. We would love to have sat out on the deck but this is New Orleans and it was 95° out at 5 pm. Some awnings would be nice.

I have NO complaints about this place. The atmosphere was amazing. The view is phenomenal! We got: crab beignets, riveter fries, wings, and the club. Every thing was delicious. I also had the seasonal candy cane cocktail. It was like Christmas in a glass. The owner or manager (I'm not sure which), Marc, came talk to us. He was so friendly! We really enjoyed our conversation with us. He gave us so much great information about The Higgins and Rosie's. He also gave us some info on the WWII museum. I can't wait to go back!

Attended a yelp elite event here this evening. The first thing that hits you is the view. Stunning after dark view of the city! The temperature was cool but the Heaters were lit. I ran a bit late with the traffic but they were extremely gracious. Met the manager Mark who shared his vision for the hotel and its eateries. I can't wait to see what they do with Normandy. Love some great authentic cuisine. I had the Tico Tico drink. It was like a margarita margarita on the rocks no salt. That happens to be how I prefer mine so that hit the sweet spot. Had the riveter fries. The cheese curds were flavorful. The spare rib slices needed improvement. They were tasty but lacked that gelatinous jelly like texture of real spare ribs we all love. The sauce was not overdone nor was the cheese. Dave's big pet peeve is French fries with heavy toppings. Kills the crispness of my fries and waters them down. Don't like soggy fries. Somehow they stacked sauce and 2 cheeses and spare rib bits on too yet my fries were crispy. Bonne travail chef. Can't wait to go back and enjoy the view.

Amazing view, delicious food, quaint ambiance, and friendly/courteous staff, the Rosie's on the Rooftop of the Higgins Hotel offers it all. Totally plan your meal to coincide with sunset, especially as they finish-up the metalic overhang above the National World War II Museum. Go for a signature Higgins cocktail, the crab beignets, and malt fish and chips and you cannot go wrong.

My friend and I had a perfect evening on this Rooftop Restaurant! We loved everything about it - food, cocktails, ambiance, and service were all exceptional! Rosie's is very quaint and I adore quaint. I do believe I have a new love and it's rooftop restaurants. Who really wants to be on the ground when you can be in the air!?!? Thanks Rosie's!!!!! This is the perfect place to share delicious appetizers with friends and have a some of their amazing signature cocktails. This gem is located on the Higgins Hotel which is the spectacular hotel for the famous World War ll Musuem in New Orleans. This is perfect because if you want to have a few drinks, you can just get a room at the Higgins.

I went with my son Wednesday night. Unfortunately it was raining heavily so we were unable to sit outside on the rooftop but inside was not a disappointment. The hotel itself is simply beautiful on the inside. Decorated with a taste that is reminiscent of a bygone era, but with a modern flair. I can imagine many a splendid event held here! The inside bar on the roof is subtly decorated with references to WWII era, giving homage to Rosie the Riveter and all the women who she represented. The ceiling fan blades were airplane propellors. The lighting over the bar was made out of an airplane wing. The hanging lights were in small individual cages and there were gears on the walls. The ceiling was made of corrugated metal. The background din was just loud enough to hear music but soft enough to have a normal conversation. The only downside I found was the tables were created in a way that on two sides, your knees touched the base when you sat down. It wasn't a problem for just the two of us because we switched seats. But if you had a party of more than two, it might be uncomfortable for some in the party. The service from start to finish was fantastic. Everyone was helpful, friendly and you could tell the small crew worked together to make sure the entire room was served and happy. My son ordered the Skylar. A pretty blue drink that was very tasty. I ordered Moscato. The cocktail drink menu was small but seemed to offer something for everyone. I was disappointed the small plate of Shrimp was not ready yet so we couldn't try it. It is served with potatoes, corn, and sausage and sounded delicious. For starters we ordered the candied bacon wrapped brussel sprouts, crab beignets and riveter fries. We both totally loves the brussel sprouts! Great combination of flavors. The crab beignets were a little boring. Thin outer shell wasn't overpowering so that was a plus but the inside lacked flavor, in my opinion. My son was neutral about it. Because it is a fried dish, you get the greasy feeling on your fingers. The riveter fries were an interesting combination. Fries topped with a gravy of some type, short rib and cheese curds. The rib was tender and so good. The gravy made the fries soggy. My son thought the cheese curds could have been a little fresher but it wasn't a deal breaker for him. I think if you order just the fries, or aren't trying to eat three dishes at the same time, we might have gotten through the fries before they became soggy. I am willing to test this theory out by going back again. For shareables we ordered the duck confit grilled cheese and the jerk marinated chicken taco. The duck confit was an upscale cheese sandwich with delicious flavor pairings. He got a piece of duck that was impossible to eat because it was too dry. He called it the least underwhelming dish he has tried. He said the flavor was good but he felt the duck should either be cooked less or "hold" better (holding a dish before serving). The half of the sandwich I tried was not disappointing and I finished my half. I agree the flavors were on point. I enjoyed the fact that it is made on a croissant. The tacos were heavenly! It is layered with cold red onion, warm jerk chicken, then topped with cold tomatoes, dragon fruit, and sour cream. The coolness of the layers paired well with the heat (spice) of the chicken. I don't handle spicy food well but was determined (and able) to finish one taco completely before calling it quits. My mouth was on fire but it was worth it. My son on the other hand wasn't bothered at all and had the nerve to claim it was't spicy. HAH! We ended the meal with beignets and bread pudding. The beignets were light and airy. The chocolate sauce tasted like hershey syrup. Still delicious but little details like that make the difference between good and great. The bread pudding was nice. I love bread pudding so I can judge harshly. For me to say it is nice means it passed muster in my eyes. It had an interestingly shaped vanilla ice cream scoop on top. It was hard and didn't melt easily making me wonder if it was pre-made scoops. The final thought is this is a great place to come for drinks, the ambience, and socializing with friends and you happen to order food as an accompaniment. This is a step above bar food. I would definitely return.

Drinks are short poured. Especially when a martini is served in a cordial glass. Not a place for cocktails.

We had the crab beignets, the candied Brussels sprouts and the pork and alligator meatballs. All were delicious!

A hidden gem in NOLA. The staff is great and the small menu items are even better. The bacon wrapped Brussel sprouts- my goodness. The flavors that mix together are amazing! Taking this one home to our local chef.

Great vibe here--excellent service from Victoria, Aniel, and Shelby. I'm glad that I just have to walk downstairs to my hotel room. lol

Went for Coolinary, ordered corn andcrab bisque. It had a very funny flavor and had to send it back. I was afraid it might be old and cause me to get sick. I replaced it with the cesaer salad, which was ok, tasted store bought. Had the red fish for main entrée. Fish was dry and not very good, the greens beans and corn grits were ok. For dessert, it came with peach cobbler which was good. I had high expectations for the food here, however the food was sub par. The rooftop itself was nicely decorated and had decent views of the city. Our waitress was very sweet. I think they definitely need improvements on food quality
