    This ghost bar serves up killer cocktails with a side of spooky. The vibes? A séance meets a speakeasy. If your drink moves on its own, blame the poltergeist--or the absinthe. Cheers to the beyond! Don't miss their Mardi Gras drinks! The Haunted Hurricane was insanely good!

    The slimmer

    I just happened to pass this bar and had to go in. It was just 5:00 pm so noone was there yet. I wanted to order food hut the cook wasn't coming in until 7:00 pm I had the slimmer - which was actually the best pina colada I've ever had! Not cheap but the ambiance is worth it. The bartender was very friendly. It gets pretty busy after the other bars close but I would go earlier.

    Pretty neat overall! Just went for drinks but there was a neat selection. The bartender wasn't CREEPY but neat to try. Service fair. Ambiance neat.

    Very cute small bar with yummy drinks. Bartender was quick to service us and his drinks were good. Our favorite was the Ghost Tang, took me right back to my childhood. Worth the stop if bar crawling your way through.

    This place was once of the coolest dive bars I've gone too! It was located one block off the main Bourbon Street but it was packed with people! The bartenders were both super nice. The actual bar was clean and they had some slot machines inside but the theme was spooky ghosts which was cool! We didn't get any food but the had a specialty drink menu with a bunch of drinks with spooky names, which was super good!! I highly recommend you guys go to this bar it was a lot of fun

    Love it here so much that my friend and I went twice in one day. Frank's playlist is my teenage-hood and slaps. Get a pear potion or a pickle back! (Speaking of, I will be back next time I'm in New Orleans!)

    Great themed cocktails, cool little place to get some food and drinks and talk with locals. I enjoyed my time there and recommend the Cereal Killer or Gummy word drink. They use dry ice in many drinks and that was a cool addition. It is worth a visit and off the beaten path. Not a place most tourist would find.

    Food is so delicious, the drinks are amazing & I loved the banana drink. The girls there are so cool & kind & I would recommend going because the bar itself it's lit up & music is bumpin! It's such a cool spot & open into the morning which was so fun

    Exceptional Service, Clean Facility, and Great Prices! The location is just off Bourbon Street.

    We got the wings twice and we would've gotten them again and will get them again! GET THE BOUDIN EGG ROLLS!  1/1/2025

    This has been my favorite bar two years in a row. I went in 2023 for my 30th birthday and returned in 12/28 2024 for the week of New Years Eve. During both trips, this bar was an every day stop. Appetizers were 10/10! A pizza to go is the perfect way to end your night. Bartenders are all so friendly. Busy, but still friendly. Comfortable environment also. Will definitely be returning.

    Always a favorite stop in December to check out their holiday cocktails. Went fairly early on a Thursday so not crowded and had quick and friendly service.

    S'mores martini - and they roast your marshmallow as you wait patiently for this delicious cocktail.

Walking in at 1:30 on a beautifully sunny Wed, we fully expected a wait. Instead, our two empty seats beckoned to us like a pretty girl winking at us across a bar in college. Marvin has been promoted to Beverage Manager. He left his bar in very good hands. The two young dudes carrying his torch were great. Very friendly and well aware each time we finished our drink and needed a reload. They're well-trained in the art of concocting the Sazerac we love. Sitting for 2 hours watching the regular turnover of the precious seats at the Carousel is still big fun. And having a friendly chat with the constant turnover of strangers sitting next to us is part of the unique charm of the Carousel Bar. As we were leaving Corey the bartender let us know management is shutting down next month for a few weeks for much needed repairs & renovations so the Carousel can add another 50-60 years to its legacy.

It rotates slowly, so you won't get dizzy... The cocktail list looked interesting, but the two we had tasted pretty standard, inline with what you'd expect from a hotel bar (it is inside Hotel Monteleone). There is a small bar bites menu - the Cubano was tasty but a bit overpriced at $18. The service was okay. We ended up getting water from our server that brought us food as the bartenders were too busy making cocktails. There was a jazz band playing on Thursday night when we visited.

    Before I start, this is my review based on my experience. I've noticed some people complain about…read morethe music, paying the cover charge, seating or the size of the venue. I'm not here to argue any of those points. I will say this: expecting live musicians to perform for free until you decide whether they're worth paying is ridiculous. The cover is usually only $5...$10 max. If that's a dealbreaker, this probably isn't your place. Stay home and stream Spotify. Now... I have some friends in town, and whenever that happens, a Monday night trip to the Spotted Cat is basically mandatory. I've been coming here for years and years. Yes, it's super touristy now, but it still gives me the warm fuzzies every time I walk through those doors. So I'm presenting the "compliment sandwich" review. Never heard of it? You start with a compliment, slip in some constructive-ish criticism, then end with another compliment. Supposedly people receive feedback better that way. Let's see. First, the music. Outstanding. Chris Christy wasn't what I thought I wanted to hear until I actually heard him. I felt completely transported. Man, can that guy play the guitar. It felt kinda like gypsy music. Then came the Frenchmen Street Allstars. The last time I saw them, they had a different lead singer and, honestly, they kind of felt like a completely different band, aside from the phenomenal drummer. This version did not disappoint. It was a great mix of jazz and New Orleans standards. Both bands were great! **Now a note to management.** Great music isn't enough. The bar should be every bit as memorable as the stage. Forgive me, I didn't get the bartenders' names, so I have to describe them by physical traits. The first bartender, the guy with the mountain of curly hair, was friendly enough and made decent drinks. Later, another bartender with a short haircut took over and made the best drinks of the night. Then there was the bartender with the black and hot pink hair. She looked like she'd rather be anywhere else. She rarely smiled, her demeanor felt unwelcoming, and it almost came across as hostile. On top of that, the drinks she made were so weak I genuinely wondered if there was any alcohol in them. Seriously. They were that bad. Here's my philosophy: if you're going to be grumpy, aloof, or have some other off-putting trait, you'd better make a mean drink. Years and years ago there was a bartender named Curtis who wasn't exactly sunshine and rainbows, but that man could make a cocktail. I didn't need him to smile because the drink did all the talking. If the drink is mostly soda, though, friendliness becomes a lot more important. Unfriendly and bad bartending is a double whammy. She must be somebody's child or partner because I can't think of any other reason to employ a bad bartender. I hate to belabor the point, but the drinks aren't cheap. Cheap and bad I can take. For another comparison, there's another bartender there, I'm pretty sure her name is Chris. She's been there for years. She's all business. Maybe a little surly. Who am I kidding? A lot surly. But she's a character. More importantly, she makes a great drink. That's the kind of personality that somehow fits the Spotted Cat perfectly. Now let me end with the final piece of "bread" on my compliment sandwich. The doorman deserves his own review. That gravelly-voiced "Welcome to the Spotted Cat!" is part of the experience. Then he absolutely hammers that stamp onto your wrist. Somehow you don't even mind because you know what's waiting on the other side: incredible music, a fun room, and one of the best nights you can have on Frenchmen Street. Just don't let the bartender with the pink and black hair make your drink.

    We were hesitant because there were only a few people sitting at the bar when we walked in. It…read moreturned out that was the band, which meant it was just the two of us girls, so we decided we'd just have a drink and see what happens. It was 2 p.m. afterall, so not a lot of people were out in general. Turns out the band was great! Then people started trickling in and there was a good crowd enjoying the music with us. We had a great time, chatted with other patrons and a few of the band members. Good drinks, prices are on the higher end at ~$15, but still affordable. I had a Pimm's cup which was refreshing, they are served in souvenir to go cups that are really cute. Glad we decided to stay! A great time was had.

Getting here right after they opened for the evening, before the live jazz started, we were able to chat with the staff (which we love to do) and they were very engaging and chatty. I also noticed they do a proper absinth service here and they offered one of the largest Absinth menus I've ever seen, so I had to try something interesting and different and went with the Texas made Opal Absinthe. Before selecting it, I asked the young lady who was handling the bar and she gave me her description, which I have to say was spot-on to what I ended up drinking. Another drink we got was great as well, and made with fresh juices. The vibe and venue is great here... I love jazz and I would love to return sometime to listen to the live jazz while enjoying their amazing adult beverages!
