Description:
Before you do anything else in the French Quarter, head over to the Carousel Bar in Hotel Monteleone. Not only is it the only revolving bar in New Orleans, and consistently listed as one of the top bars in the world, but it’s also a magical 25-seat grown-up Merry-Go-Round!
Like so much about New Orleans and this hotel, the Carousel Bar oozes elegance and has hosted the movers and shakers for decades. Grab a seat and order up a proper cocktail, something like a Vieux Carre, the Carousel Bar’s signature drink. Created in 1938 by bartender Walter Bergeron, it’s a smooth mix of whiskey, sweet vermouth, Benedictine, and bitters that’s perfect for such a classic spot.
The Carousel Bar also has a nice, small bites menu that includes New Orleans specialties, such as blue crab and crawfish beignets, fried shrimp and oyster po boys, and seafood okra gumbo. Order a few to share as you sip and twirl and take in the sights of Royal Street down below.
The bar is open daily, from 11:00 a.m. until…..
