    Came here to with my little sis to enjoy a night out on bourbon street and while we initially came in to escape the rain we stayed for the party. The DJ had the place jumping and it was a vibe. There were multiple bachelor and bachelorette parties there enjoy themselves and providing some people watching entertainment lol. They also offer some HUGE ASS BEERS of various sizes. Some with nice assets as well, check my pic. If in town a great place to stop for a vibe and Turnup

    Great blues band!

    The Danny Alexander Blues Band was playing as we walked by - so very happy we stopped. Amazing music, danced the whole time we were there, just couldn't keep still. And 2 beers for $11 - such a deal! Very friendly staff. Will be back

    Located smack dab in the middle of Bourbon Street is this bar/dinky dance club. I can't speak for the dance floor/club aspect of it. Although I can tell you that they blast the sh*t out of that music. Like I could barely hear myself think much less talk. We were walking around and just checking everything out in general when these guys walked by with these obscenely ginormous bottles of beer marked.. Huge Ass Beers. Sold! lol I walk up to the counter at the side of the bar and order. 70 ounce beer for $26. lol The options were Miller Lite or Bud Light. Service was ok. Don't expect much. lol Prices reflect the touristy nature of where you are at, so I can live with it. It is what it is and in my book that's.. A-Ok. 3 stars.

    This has to be one of my favorite bars in New Orleans on Bourbon. They play a variety of music and have a full bar. Everytime I come in here people are always dancing. There is no cover charge and sometimes have 2 for 1 beers.

    We came here on a Thursday night after our cruise arrived in port. Day service was great. Bartender big smile and very eager to help. Great live music! Decided to go back to the room for a little relaxation so we were well prepared for a night of drinking, dancing, and fun! We stopped in and had the same bartender...super nice! Danced for a long while and spent some good money. Decided to walk upstairs and it was not a good or fun experience. Dj was playing so we wanted to step out on the balcony. NO! NOT WITHOUT A DRINK IN HAND! What? We just had been drinking shots on the lower level! Oh well...Let's just dance to the DJ...sorry, you can't dance right here. MOVE! No! We are outta here! Spent $$ on drinks. Had a great buzz and was really enjoying our time. WHAT A FUN SUCKER!! We left and didn't return.

    The upstairs portion had the best music we could find on Bourbon street and a great vibe! The balcony was pretty cool as well.

On a previous trip we had seen an evening show at Snug Harbor and wanted to experience something else. We had read good things about the Spotted Cat and their sets run all afternoon. We were a little confused about price because one of our guidebooks said there is no cover but you're supposed to order drinks. There was a doorman who charged us something like $5 each (still cheap!) and we ordered beer and a N/A drink at the bar and listened to a great jazz group playing old-time jazz. Interior is tiny and you're pretty close to the performers. We were standing at first but eventually found some seats as people left. There is even a back courtyard if you want to be outside, although I don't know if you can hear the music or not. We bought a CD from the band and enjoyed it when we got back home. All in all, a great New Orleans experience.

The vibe is divey with some tables and the stage with musicians is near the front. The music was great and musicians very talented. Drinks were fine and came out quickly. Overall had a nice time enjoying the music!

Whether sitting at the bar, or in one of the many lounge chairs on the opposite wall, every seat is an excellent. While I knew of the drink French 75, on the bar menu it was offered with either gin or cognac. I decided to try the cognac and so glad I did. Perfectly delicious! It turns out that drink is actually a French 125, so I learned something new that night. Great spot with a great vibe.

    The Sazerac Bar at the The Roosevelt New Orleans prepares an outstanding Sazerac cocktail, as you…read morewould expect. While the Sazerac wasn't invented here, this is arguably its most iconic home, a place where New Orleans cocktail history comes to life. I would use this version as your gold standard when dining out in New Orleans and looking for a perfect Sazerac. We enjoyed watching bartender Rachel craft each drink. Rye whiskey, Peychaud's Bitters, and sugar are stirred in a small pitcher with ice. The serving glass is chilled, then emptied, and finished with an absinthe rinse along the rim. The cocktail is strained into the glass and topped with a lemon peel. The atmosphere makes the experience even better. The murals, the history, and the energy of the room give it a sense of occasion that you do not get at most bars. We had such a great time sitting at the bar that my wife and I each finished two and a half Sazeracs, which tells you everything you need to know.

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. I always appreciate the staff's efforts by making simply making eye contact and smiling (which they did). Seems trivial but I think those small things says a lot about a business. I would recommend this restaurant even if you are not a guest of the hotel.

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!
