    Peychaud's is a great stop for cocktails, especially if you want something quieter and more intimate. It's part of The Celestine, and we sat in the lovely little courtyard, nicely tucked away from the New Orleans crowds. We came for the Ramos gin fizz and it was worth it. They make it minimum for two because of the long shake, and it's surprisingly light and refreshing even if you normally skip creamy drinks. The bar inside is also dark and cozy, and the cocktail menu looked fun. Service was friendly and relaxed. I honestly wish I had room for a Sazerac. Would happily come back just for that.

    Stoped in here for a break. The food we don't try but we had some drinks. The staff and ambiance was spectacular. It probably deserves 5 stars but I didn't try the food. I highly recommend staying in the courtyard

    Stopped in for a drink on a hot afternoon, and was very pleasantly surprised to find a courtyard at then back as well. This place is an oasis on an otherwise crazy couple of blocks (at least on a Thursday afternoon) Drinks were fabulous as well. Their Peychaud's Fizz was my favorite drink of my entire NOLA trip! Highly recommend!

    The classic Mint Julep

    You want to get away from the noise, check out this cocktail bar. Yes, cocktail bar no food, no apps, no nuts, just cocktails, handcrafted and fresh! We went with the classic Mint Julep. Well balanced cocktail made to perfection.

    Stopped in for drinks while deciding where to get a late dinner. Ambiance is really nice. Got an old fashioned and a dirty martini. Delicious, really well executed.

    Peychaud's was the first cocktail bar I popped into during my first night in New Orleans. Being into home bartending and the history of cocktails, Peychaud's was already on my radar and part of my itinerary long before landing in the city. Upon entry, a gentleman who was leaving told me to sit on the back patio, and I'm glad I did. The bar is very moodily lit and pleasant, but the back patio was such a wonderfully aesthetic and enjoyable place to enjoy a cocktail. The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, and relatively quick. We got in straight away and didn't need to wait despite it being a Friday night. The cocktails were all well crafted and incredibly delicious. I found Peychaud's Pimm's Cup to be the best of my whole trip. Peychaud's was also my first and only Hurricane cocktail experience while in New Orleans, and given the taste and ingredients list, I'd say it's probably up there as one of the better in the city. If you want a more quiet and intimate setting with cocktails that are well crafted and rich history behind it, Peychaud's is your place.

    Gin fizz
    Alicia W.

    Great spot for cocktails in the quarter. Staff was friendly, the bar area is small so you may have trouble getting a seat during popular times. They make a very good gin fizz but be mindful, it takes them a long time to make the drink. I think we waited about 20 minutes. I recommend starting with something else and letting them know you plan to order a gin fizz so they can start on it.

    Where would you go for a proper Sazerac (if not Sazerac House,) but Peychaud's
    Martina C.

    Great service, cool atmosphere. The Sazerac was a bit absinthe heavy. It's supposed to have an absinthe wash but not be HEAVY with the flavor. I enjoyed it but not as much as the original I had at Sazerac House. My hunt continues for the perfect Sazerac!!! This was a cool bar as far as the vibe. The temperature, not so much. It was a bit stuffy and the nice AC unit they had inside could definitely have been on. It would have helped as the air felt heavy. The staff was very friendly and had a good laugh when I told them that the Conceirge at Marriott didn't know what Peychaud's was. Neither the bitters nor the bar. Culture lacked there. I enjoyed my Sazerac and offered to buy a really nice guy a shot of this drink he wanted. The staff didn't charge me but I asked what it was and they said it was Armagnac. I said what's that and they said it's a unique alternative to Cognac that is either a loved or hated taste. They gave me a sample and I agree. Definitely an acquired taste. It was a relaxing evening alone for me.

    Lovely interior - nice lighting, lots of wood. Service was good. Irish coffee (no whipped cream) and milk lunch were good. One of our party wanted to come here specifically for the Sazerac but he was a bit disappointed by it - felt it was made with an overabundance of bitters.

    The last couple of visits before the most recent one to the French Quarter, I had passed this bar on Toulouse enough times that I was intrigued on walking inside. I didn't know it was originally a drinking spot for Tennessee Williams (apparently). However, that knowledge made me glad I checked it out and frequented the bar on the occasions I did during this current trip to New Orleans, regardless. The Will and The Way was a couple of buildings over from the Celestine, where the separate entrance to Peychaud's is located. That has become a local hangout for us when we are in town. Peychaud's has also become that in a short time. We went to Peychaud's multiple times during the remaining two full days we had in the French Quarter. The interior has an elegant yet distinctly local NOLA charm that feels like a writer's hangout (I'm a writer, so I can say that). With absinthe-green walls and ceilings, light wooden, varnished liquor shelving, polished granite countertops, and vintage lighting that looks straight out of the 1930s, the ambiance for a nice afternoon or evening of enjoying cocktails is there for the taking. I loved the artwork hung on the walls, both in the front and back of the lounge. As you walk to the back, you also have access to the back courtyard of the Celestine. Cocktail-wise, I was going for the NOLA classics, such as the Sazerac, Vieux Carré, and the Corpse Reviver #2. If you're keeping score, I must admit that I enjoy the Vieux Carré at the Carousel Bar, but the one at Peychaud's is even better. I also enjoyed the Absinthe Suissesse, which was a blissful elixir that was sweet, succinct, creamy, and gave a lovely buzz. The bartenders are wicked cool and make excellent cocktails that were fantastic to see made as well as drink. It was a lot of fun to watch more than one bartender make the Ramos Gin Fizzes to the point we ordered a couple for ourselves. In addition to the excellent cocktail-making, the bartenders were charming and affable, making us linger longer or always return to the bar from wherever we were in the Quarter.

    Hurricane and Sazarac. Best of all!!
    Marcella N.

    Back after 2 years and this place is still one of my favorite bars ever. They are making phenomenal drinks and setting the bar high. I'll be back again.

    Popped in at Peychaud's to take a walking break from around the French Quarter and I really loved that you have a cool, charming spot like this just 1 block off Bourbon - close enough to not be out of your way, but far enough away from the many places on Bourbon that we like to avoid now that we are a bit older. They have a beautiful bar, cozy setting, and some charming staff. As became the usual during our New Orleans trip, I started with a Sazerac and then a hurricane and The Wife opted for a French 75. All were great drinks at decent prices, served away from the hustle and bustle of the madness just a block away. Really happy we discovered Peychaud's as it is a great palate cleanser from the overly touristy places you see on Bourbon and we plan to make it a usual stop when back this way. Hopefully can enjoy their courtyard when the weather is a bit better next time around.

    It was a great overall experience! The museum is free, self guided and very informative! We were allowed to taste samples of their line of adult beverages. Loved the museum and beautiful space.

The presentation of the food came was amazing. We ordered the linguine and added meatballs, which was well worth it. We also ordered the shrimp & grits, which included Brussels sprouts. Boy, it was sure nice to get some vegetables in my stomach after eating all that yummy fried food during our stay! All in all, both dishes were delicious. It is a little on the pricey side, but after several days of eating in the touristy area of the French Quarter, this was truly a welcome change. Service was polite and attentive.

The ambiance is amazing, plus velvet, emerald and sapphire tone, glitzy, and feels like a good photo op. The bar and cocktail menu looked expansive. However, I was going to be hopping on a meeting, so I could not partake, unfortunately. A group got this impressive tower of espresso martini and everyone seemed to be enjoying their drinks! I wanted that New Orleans seafood but had late lunch, so I opted for just the crispy gulf shrimp on cheesy grits. I really wished I can hungrier because the dish ended up being very heavy. The shrimp were nice and crispy. The charred Brussels sprouts gave me the false sense that this was a healthy dish because I was getting my veggie intake. The bacon jam was sweet and went well with the Brussels sprouts. I loved the combination of the cheesy grits and the Crystal hot sauce. It was the perfect amount of both and some how led me to understand why Americans put hot sauce on their Mac n cheese and some other cheesy dishes after 30 years of not really understanding the attraction to that combo. I got the marinated olives to go so I could have a little snack later. They were just stuff I feel I could get in a jar... not really sure if I could justify the price. I think this is a fine place if you're looking for a photogenic night out drinking with a group of friends. Could be really cute for brunch!

My wife and I visited on our first NoLa trip together about 4 years ago and make it a point to go every time now. Our first time we stopped in for lunch at the bar and had an excellent experience, and decided to return. We came back on the next trip just to grab a drink and a snack before heading down for dinner in the Bywater. The bartender (Chris) gave a bunch of recommendations for places to visit that way, all of which we have done in the past few trips and have loved. But it's this past trip where we were truly blown away. We were in town for JazzFest and after walking back to the French Quarter, we were thinking about food options and decided to take a gamble to see if we could get a seat at the bar or maybe grab a drink for the road before getting food somewhere else. The bar was full when we got there around 8/8:15, but they had a no show and could serve us, as long as we ordered quickly and were ok with the check hitting the table right at 9PM. Given our slightly (perhaps generous) inebriated state from being at the festival all day and being slightly underdressed, we felt this was quite a kind accommodation. With the clear expectations of needing to get our orders in quickly, we wasted no time making a decision on our drinks and a few food options. Despite this need for a quick turn around, at no time did we feel rushed. The food and drinks were absolutely perfect, as they always are. But what impressed us most was the staff. At no point did the hostess or wait staff seem annoyed by us, despite us parachuting in from a music festival and looking like sunburn and poor decisions. By managing expectations on the front end, we never felt rushed despite the need for a quick turn around. They were all lovely, professional, and as cordial as if we were regulars with standing reservations once a week. In terms of atmosphere, it is always perfect: lively and fun for a date night, dinner with friends/family, or just a nice drink before a night out and about. I truly cannot begin to explain how much I love this restaurant and every experience I've had there. The awards and accolades this establishment (a sincere and lofty term Jewel of the South truly deserves) have been awarded are beyond well earned. Restaurants around the country should aspire to provide the quality of food, service, and overall hospitality Jewel of the South provides on a regular basis. It will continue to be our first and foremost recommendation to anyone we know who is going to New Orleans. Bravo! We shall return!
