"The Elysian Bar is one of the coziest and most romantic bars in New Orleans. The 19th-century Creole cottage-style dining parlor has beautiful high ceilings, but the place you want to be is the “jewel box” bar located in the atrium. The room is very yellow and it feels like you’ve stumbled upon somebody’s secret study where an old-timey baron might smoke a pipe and entertain some friends. Come for an early evening cocktail, like the Mr. Follow Follow that’s both spicy and pleasantly banana-y, and snack on small bites like BBQ pecans and salmon toast." - chelsea brasted, megan braden perry
"At Hotel Peter and Paul, the cool renovation of a Catholic church complex in the Marigny, the Elysian Bar offers a dramatic center patio for nibbling under the stars. Choose from a huge cocktail menu of spritzes, aperitifs, and for after dinner, plenty of amaros and other digestifs." - Missy Frederick
"At the Elysian Bar in the raptly renovated Hotel Peter & Paul, the sacred setting combines with Mediterranean-forward cuisine for a memorable dining experience. The restaurant offers a choice of great spaces to sup — the rectory, bricked church courtyard, two comfy parlors, and a light-filled atrium. The charred octopus and roasted Gulf shrimp are two tasty options." - Beth D’Addono
"The elegant and trendy boutique Hotel Peter and Paul in the Marigny boasts an excellent restaurant and now, new late-night hours are making a splash. Available Friday and Saturday nights from 10 p.m. to midnight, the ultra-chic space will serve a late-night happy hour with snacks like focaccia with chicken liver mousse, cheese and meat plates, and crispy chicken wings. Don’t miss the martinis." - Beth D’Addono
