So this place sounds soooo much cooler than it actually is. Was slightly disappointed in the decor bc there is so much they could have done here and it left me just feeling like they didn't give a shit about cool spooky shit. They did have really cool Slimer and Casper artwork but the rest of the place was just pretty sterile. I will say I am giving this place three stars bc the bartender was great and the drinks were fairly priced. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

The bartenders (two men) ignored my friends and I. We walked in, showed our Ids, and sat at the bar as both bartenders watched us and chatted with other customers. Nope they weren't busy making drinks. Just staring at us.

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.

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.

Went on a Saturday night, had one beer, got charged $20 with no receipt given! price should have been $4 or $5 bucks, bar tender then disappeared for ages. Bar tender reappeared again, and then would disappear from bar to go off premises every 1 or 2 minute while I was drinking my beer, entire bar was left unattended while she walked off to smoke and socialize across the street! When I disputed $20 charge I was told by bartender they "just apply that for everyone, as she assumes they will drink more than one beer!" I had two more beers and then asked for check, I eventually got a non itemized check for exactly $20 total which still seems incorrect. they charged an extra dollar later to match beer prices. If I had not have noticed who knows how much I would be charged for beers! Other people have complained also on other sites about same situation, I paid and didn't tip, seems to be one really dodgy bar tender that works there. read more

From the street, this place looked pretty neat and boasted food as well as drinks and wasn't packed to the rafters. I was starving and my boyfriend wanted a drink. We stopped in. It's a small place and we sat across from the bar for a while trying to find a menu inside or online. After several minutes, we stepped up to the bar and tried to get the bartender's attention. He did everything he could not to serve us so after another several minutes, we left. There are plenty of cool bars in the Quarter that do want your business, just go there. read more

One of my new New Orleans favorites. Fantastic vibe, good music, great service, and some of the most delicious and fun drinks. If you're over the drunk kids and cheap beer on Bourbon street, make the quick walk to this grown up haven. The space isn't huge, but there's plenty of seating at the bar or at high top/low top tables along the opposite wall. Grab a seat, enjoy some munchies, and treat yourself to a specialty cocktail -- Long Island iced tea, fruity pebbles or s'more martinis, etc. The drinks are all delicious, and you can of course order your plain-old favorite if the specialty drinks don't sound like your thing. Bartenders here are fantastic and will make excellent recommendations if you're not sure what to get. Trust in the locals -- they know their stuff! read more

The seasonal drink menu caught my eye. Went here on a date. Super cute little place. They have a food menu but we didn't order anything to eat. Next time I'd be interested to see if the food is as good as the drinks. Of the two martinis I tried I enjoyed the pumpkin spice one better. The cereal killer is cute but really just has a strong alcohol taste to it (not so much cereal). The bartender was really nice and kept up a conversation with us. It's a bar located in the city with reasonably priced drinks. Honestly, what more could you ask for? read more

This has a dive bar feel. Super cute. The bar tender had a near and long hair. I forgot his name sadly but he was just so nice. I ordered a lemon drop with tequila and my dad got some black label. We ordered the popcorn shrimp which was AMAZING. The bartender said we should have gotten the egg rolls, but we didn't have time. It's an open and airy restaurant right on a semi-busy street. We sat at the bar and it was great for people-watching. A walking band even came down the street. It was real cool. I liked this place a lot for a drink and hanging with a couple friends. read more

If you come in New Orleans you have to go to the ghost bar! The environment is spooky & the drinks are spookier I've always been into decoration and how the drinks look & this place hit it right on the spot. I love how it's called ghost bar, and it's in a little dive bar near Bourbon Street. I suggest you go with people it's a little sketchy down there, which adds the the effect.

After looking it up I found out that the cognac variation is called a French 125. Loved it and now a new favorite!

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.

Located in the Kimpton Hotel Fontenot, it is actually a nice restaurant that has a lot of charm…read more Located away from the nose and bustle of Bourbon Street, we had a peaceful dinner that is not fried or wholly unhealthy (i.e. greasy). 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.

I had a hotel credit I could use on this restaurant, so I popped into the Peacock Room for a solo…read moreearly dinner. 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!
