The Gilded Perch

Such a cute spot for a drink. Very cozy and intimate and I love the decoration. Tucked away in a corner within a house turned hotel right across from Tulane and Audubon park.

The Gilded Perch is a great little bar to stop in for cocktails if you are in the area and definitely if you are staying in the hotel. This is a friendly bar with a definite local style, good drinks and great service. The decor is antique, but with a fun and lively flare. You can enjoy your drinks at the bar or out on the front porch.

Beautiful, intimate space with friendly staff. Spent some time here and enjoyed watching the bartender interact with regulars, provide support for guests attempting to navigate the city, and make off-menu drinks by request from memory. This place is a gem and a must visit!

A hidden gem of a cocktail bar tucked in the Parkview Guest House, run by Will, a fantastic bartender. The inside is friendly and cozy. It has expansive seating on the porch and in front of the guesthouse. Drinks from excellent martinis to a Vieux Carre to La Lousianne are on the menu.

We came in on a Sunday afternoon because we saw the signs from the road. Had several very good cocktails and a nice conversation with the bartender. The whole place is peacock themed, which is fun.

The Audubon Clubhouse offers happy hour Monday through Friday 2-5 pm and extended happy hours with a live band unil 7pm on Tuesdays. Plus amazing deals on food. The fried deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes with jumbo shrimp are a standout. Why pay $10.00 for a cocktail when you can pay $6.00 for specialty cocktails and wine in a Brennan family operated property with a commanding view of Audubon Park. Martinis are served all day on Wednesday with your choice of call brand spirits for $7.00. The hotel has unprofessional and misinformed personnel on the front desk. They answer the phone with an angry "hello". They don't even mention the guest house by name. They don't know when they have a happy hour and when they don't. Don't bother!!! If the front desk personnel is this dysfunctional imagine what the back of the house is like. I don't know the owner. If I received this review, I would make up a story to refute it too. It's a lesson learned in hospitality!

Great drinks! Phenomenal service, with a unique and cozy atmosphere to enjoy a one of a kind cocktail.

Terrific old-school bar in the Parkview Hotel. Fun to see the beautiful interior of the hotel! Plenty of seating inside or on the ample porch, and plenty of free parking on the side streets. Great classic cocktails. Friendly bartender! No food, but mixed nuts to go with your drinks if you ask!

Great drinks and relaxing, local atmosphere. Right next to audobon park and a historic building. Friendly and engaging bartenders.

I used to love The Gilded Perch. Not so much now. I loved how small and quaint it is. Sitting at the bar and talking to the bartender while he crafted amazing drinks. Tonight, stopped in for a last cocktail of the night...no bar stools. What? The bar area was full of two families...with kids. I'm all about the laissez faire of New Orleans, but why on earth would you have your hotel bar with nice cocktails full of kids?? I asked the bartender...where are the stools? He said that they take them out over the weekend since they get full. My response...full of what? Kids? No longer a favorite.

Went for a casual Friday evening with friends. Sat outside. The service was impeccable and cooperative. They created whatever we wanted without any hassle. This might be the best bar in the entire university area of uptown.

The Park View Historic Hotel on St. Charles Avenue overlooking Audubon Park now has a bar. The Gilded Perch opened two months ago and serves new and classic cocktails in a glamorous space. The Park View dates back to 1884, when it was built to welcome guests of the World International and Cotton Exposition at Audubon Park. The building was purchased and fully restored by Liz and Terry Creel in 2008. The hotel feels as if you're staying in a friend's home -- that is, if your friend has decadent taste and hosts a bar in the parlor. The Gilded Perch gives New Orleanians a chance to venture into the hotel listed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks, see the collection of antiques inside, and enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail on the patio or sprawling porch. The décor at the bar is certainly unique. While much of it came with the Park View when the Creels bought it, perhaps the most eye-catching feature is the stuffed peacocks that adorn the space. The Creels own a farm and breed 30 different types of peacocks, King said. The peacocks immortalized at the hotel all died of natural causes. Now they have assumed a stately position in the hotel. A side wall in the bar boasts a mural of two peacocks and a gilded cage, a piece by local artist and teacher Anne Smith Reeves. The bar top is made of recycled marble, and the bar itself, like the hotel, brings patrons back in time. I visited The Golden Perch on a bustling Wednesday night where the small space was at capacity with folks staying at the hotel or just stopping by for a cocktail on the Avenue. I enjoyed a Champagne Spritz with pomegranate, the perfect libation for a summer evening. The relaxed atmosphere is delightful, and the small bar encourages conversation about the day's events with friendly strangers. The Gilded Perch is a lovely spot to grab a cocktail or aperitif to sip on the hotel's porch at the beginning of an evening filled with promise or to stop in for a nightcap after dinner.

Very good drinks and the food options were surprisingly complex in a way that was bot surprising and delightful. I got the daily punch, candy remember what was in it but it was delish. We ordered a bunch of small plates and happy hour items, all were winners. The cauliflower was both crispy and spicy with a delicious cabbage in it. The potatoes were huge, but savory. There was some kind of cheese bread, v good. Overall highly recommend.

Excellent cocktail bar and a wonderful addition to the area. This stretch of St. Charles of has been lacking a nice bar near Audubon for a very long time, and the Park View Hotel delivers. For the ambiance and atmosphere, the bar is cheaper than other similar ones (like the Columns, Chloe, etc). If you are at the park, you should stop by this place.

A lovely new spot for a drink in a unique, New Orleans setting. The Gilded Perch is a welcome addition to the New Orleans bar scene. You can either sit on the porch overlooking Audubon Park and St. Charles Avenue or inside in the beautiful, elegant hotel lobby on comfortable sofas. If you want a place to have a quiet drink without having to deal with the traffic and crowds of the lower Garden District or downtwon, this is a perfect place. The drinks are festive and reasonably priced and there's even an option for cheese and charcuterie if you want a bite. A gorgeous, convenient and hospitable place.
