French 75

Incredible French 75, friendly and outgoing bartender, and quaint building with a beautiful courtyard. 10/10 highly recommend and will be back!

Hubby and I stopped in for happy hour. I ordered a sazerac and hubby ordered the ice house. The sazerac was good, but a little heavy on the bitters. Hubby's drink was good. We did a to go round with basic. Vodka and soda and a beer. The bathrooms were clean which is an important aspect while drinking and walking through the French quarter. Wouldn't not come here again, but wouldn't make it a must do..

Thomas was kind enough to let me use the bar as a landing spot to get some remote work done and it had a charming ambiance. Plus, once work was done, the drinks were as lovely as the company! Great place to stop off and they of course have to go options available.

Cute little bar inside Hotel Provincial. James is a badass bartender that knows how to keep it real. He has that Old World charm that you can only find in a city like New Orleans. It truly is complementary to the bar itself because that too has that ethereal feel. We got the sazarac and a hurricane. Both drinks were phenomenal. If you stay at the hotel, you get a buy one get one free coupon at check-in. There's not much that I can say about the place, besides that if you are not staying here you should just come in for a quick drink because you won't regret it. Also, the inside is really cute. Like you would feel like you have been transported to a different time period.

The bartender was very nice and welcoming. You can order a drink "for here" or "to go walking with." Oh, NOLA! Came during happy hour. Took my hurricane to the lovely courtyard in the middle of the hotel. The fountain and lights in the trees make for a great place to rest with a drink!

Ducked into this little quaint spot and am having the best drink ever. It's the "ice house" . Most delicious drink in the french quarter.

Amazing is all I have to say. If you are in New Orleans you must stop in and have a cocktail.

James the best bartender in the Quarter!

Best Hurricane in French Quarter or anywhere!! When you're hot and thirsty there's no better place than The Ice Bar for great drinks and super conversation! James the bartender is a goldmine of information too!

French 75 and Provincial Punch... so good!!!

Really nice place away from the crowd on Bourbon Street. Not a party place but somewhere to sip your drink, relax and enjoy your time in Nola. The bartender put special care in every cocktails : freshly squeezed lemon juice, great garnishes, etc. Sazerac, French 75, Hurricane and Pimm's Cup, all delicious! Cocktails are 8$ during happy hour. Awesome value!

Nice, fresh, & spicy Bloody Mary.
Calisse L.

James the "Happy Hour Bartender" is a very talented, professional, and helpful. He hooked us up on our first day here with his FRESH (NO POWDER BASE) Hurricanes. They were so GOOD. Today decided to get a Bloody Mary. Made with Cajun spices. It was very smooth going down. I really liked my drink. Great hotel bar

Ask the Community - Ice House Bar

Wife and I were there back in January. We had a drink that she is certain was just called The Ice House. Can anyone tell us how to make it? Or at least what is in it? We would love to go back ourselves, but we live in Wisconsin.

This link takes you to the Ice Bar menus , where ingredients are listed. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ice-house-bar-new-orleans?select=DBVXw-mEpooycXmFdbwxKg

It was made with Hennessy, lemon juice, simple syrup, crème de cassis, St-Germain, and ginger ale, garnished with a dried lemon wheel and "Filthy" cherries -- smooth, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. My date had the Royal Street Heat, crafted by Sean Holcomb, made with St. George Chile Pepper Vodka, agave nectar, peach purée, Hellfire bitters, ginger beer, and a Tajin rim. It had the perfect mix of sweet heat and flavor. Both drinks were so good we ended up ordering two rounds while sitting at the rotating bar listening to a live jazz band. Watching the bartenders work while slowly moving around the bar made the whole experience unique and entertaining. Definitely a must-visit spot in New Orleans.

If not, there are plenty of other comfortable seating options scattered throughout the bar. On the weekend, there's always an amazing band playing and they often encourage dancing. The drinks are delicious and you can order from the bar or there are servers walking around who are friendly and helpful. We were there after jazz fest, and it was extremely crowded so we ordered the bar, took our drinks and found a comfy seat in the lobby where we could chat. We may have seen someone famous while we were there so always keep an eye out. It is a popular spot for people visiting the city.

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!

Tables with lounge chairs line the back wall, while the bar runs the same length on the opposite side. Lots of standing room in between; enough for a wedding party and friends to fill the bar space Saturday night. Service is professional and upscale. I discovered a twist on the French 75 cocktail that I love (champagne, lemon juice, simple syrup and gin) when the menu offered a choice of gin or cognac. After looking it up I found out that the cognac variation is called a French 125. Loved it and now a new favorite!

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!
