We stopped by here for a drink during happy hour because we almost stayed at this hotel so we figured we would check it out. The bar is cute, just off the lobby. The bartender was very friendly. They had glasses of Meomi Pinot Noir for a GREAT price. We might return if we were in the area again but wouldn't go out of our way to go there. read more

Mom & I were wondering around the French Quarter and popped in here for a drink. Located inside Hotel Provincial, this cozy little bar is quite charming. I loved the décor and the artwork on the walls. There are two tvs above the bar because we always need a spot to catch our Saints, and there is a tranquil courtyard where you can enjoy your beverage as well. The bartender was a nice gal. She told us to have a seat wherever we wanted, and she would bring our drinks to us. I ordered a French 75 & mom got The "Ice House, " which was a refreshing combination of Citron vodka, raspberry syrup, lemonade, with a splash of ginger. I love when champagne is served ice cold, and that is how my French 75 arrived. It was perfect! I've passed by here many times before and am glad I finally stopped in. It's such a chill spot to relax. I'd come back. read more

Lovely FQ Hotel with a quaint little bar inside. We love to stop in here to take a break from walking the quarter. Thomas has always been the nicest guy! We frequent popping in to say hello to him! The courtyard is very peaceful to enjoy hearing the sounds of the world passing by. It's a must try! Ice House Bar for the win, once again! read more

Ice House Bar - French 75 - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Hubby and I stopped in for happy hour. I ordered a sazerac and hubby ordered the ice house. The sazerac was good, but a little heavy on the bitters. Hubby's drink was good. We did a to go round with basic. Vodka and soda and a beer. The bathrooms were clean which is an important aspect while drinking and walking through the French quarter. Wouldn't not come here again, but wouldn't make it a must do.. read more

Thomas was kind enough to let me use the bar as a landing spot to get some remote work done and it had a charming ambiance. Plus, once work was done, the drinks were as lovely as the company! Great place to stop off and they of course have to go options available. read more

Ice House Bar - Sazerac - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Cute little bar inside Hotel Provincial. James is a badass bartender that knows how to keep it real. He has that Old World charm that you can only find in a city like New Orleans. It truly is complementary to the bar itself because that too has that ethereal feel. We got the sazarac and a hurricane. Both drinks were phenomenal. If you stay at the hotel, you get a buy one get one free coupon at check-in. There's not much that I can say about the place, besides that if you are not staying here you should just come in for a quick drink because you won't regret it. Also, the inside is really cute. Like you would feel like you have been transported to a different time period. read more

The ICE HOUSE BAR @ Hotel Provincial has become a neat little home base for our French Quarter visits. The Hotel Provincial has excellent parking, as one's vehicle never leaves the premises. This bar opened about two years ago, also furnishes beverage services to the nice patio / fountain / pool area, steps away. Crowd is a mix of locals, hotel guests, & partiers. House Specials include Bloody Mary's, Sazerac Cocktails, Pimm's Cups, etc. The tres-chique "Restaurant Stella" shares the front of this historical edifice. Irene's, Tujague's, Fiorella's, & El Gato Negro are nearby. Muriel's is 2-1/2 blocks up Rue Chartres; Frenchmen Street music venues are three or four blocks down. read more

The bartender was very nice and welcoming. You can order a drink "for here" or "to go walking with." Oh, NOLA! Came during happy hour. Took my hurricane to the lovely courtyard in the middle of the hotel. The fountain and lights in the trees make for a great place to rest with a drink! read more

Great service and drinks. We stopped by on the way to our room at the hotel. The bartender was super nice and engaging. I'm horrible with names and don't remember his. He was really nice though and the drinks hit the spot. read more

James Jones, who only works selected shifts, not every day, is my favorite bartender in NOLA. He has more class and theater in his little finger... and if you haven't witnessed and tasted his Sazarac, you simply haven't lived. This place is only in the late afternoon and early evening. It is tiny, I would never have found it if I wasn't staying at the beloved Provincial. read more

Amazing is all I have to say. If you are in New Orleans you must stop in and have a cocktail. read more

The Ice House is a tiny bar situated on Chartres Street and provides a welcome stopping point for those heading to, or from the French Market. This is a rare hidden gem in New Orleans where you can stop in without being surrounded by a crowd of tourists, have a delicious cocktail, and get some excellent tips, history, and advice from the bartender. As the website suggests, definitely try the Hurricane, which is made different than some of the other bars and was the best one we had in the city. read more

Love this bar. Pleasant locale and very good bartender. Nice respite from the crowds in French quarter.

Had the best Hurricane drink I've ever tasted, didn't get five stars because they were closed when I returned a few minutes after ten for another delicious drink, but I will go back. read more

We stayed at the Hotel Provincial and loved having this bar on-site. The cocktails are amazing! We especially enjoyed the sazeracs, and I could see they served REAL hurricanes, not the fruit-punch stuff you get on Bourbon Street. We really enjoyed talking with the the bartender, he was talented, funny, and helpful. Would definitely recommend the Ice House Bar to anyone who wants to experience authentic homemade New Orleans drinks! read more
