Came here as it is the rooftop of the Troubadour Hotel which is where I was staying at while visiting NOLA. I had to make a visit once during the week. They have happy hour from 4-6pm. Opened from 4-10:30pm on Mondays through Fridays and 4-11pm during the weekends. Went on a Thursday night after happy hour was done and it wasn't that crowded. So, not sure why the area in the back wasn't cleared off with all the glasses and waters left behind from the happy hour crowd. That was my one complaint. Other then that I liked the rooftop and service was alright by the bar. Plenty of seating too. The person playing the music really liked Drake and Wayne as that was on rotation all through the night.
The only thing I really liked was the view. When you walk in the hotel, there are no signs as to where you need to go. You can only use one elevator to get there but it wasn't made clear so we had to ask the front desk. When we go to the rooftop, the hostess sat us by the bar right near the door. There was a garden looking patio with couches. We asked if we could sit in there and we were told they were reserved. No one came in after us as it was not too far out from closing and there were still plenty of couches available. Mind you, we also had a reservation. The waitress walked by several times and on concentrated on other tables. I had to flag her down to get her to wait on us. Even after taking our order, it took a while to get 2 glasses of wine with very little customers in the bar. Someone else delivered our drinks and then someone else our check and the original waitress walked by plenty of times without stopping to check on us. I understand that rooftop restaurants tend to be higher priced due to the ambiance but this place lacked that so it was just overpriced. Music playing was good.
This place is so FUN!!! And I respect how they're keeping their staff and customers safe during the pandemic! All my time in NOLA and I hadn't heard of this place but saw it recommended on the Tulane Parent Page for outdoor seating. (It's rooftop actually). It was literally pouring rain when we arrived so we called to ask if we should even bother coming up and they told us it's a RETRACTABLE roof! It's very cool to watch, opens like blinds with very large windows and amazing views. Warning vegetarians: their ONLY option is French fries. Very limited menu. But very nice drinks, specifically the frozen ones! (Mai tai my fave) The table ordered crab cakes and sliders. You're really not coming here for the food. This is a fun fun vibe for drinks and unbeatable atmosphere. And you order with your cell phone so very limited interaction with staff. They're taking temps and contact tracing info at the door too. This place will be my first go-to when in town. Def check out the hotel as well.
It's just okay. I came here on a Friday evening. It was pretty dead and the ambiance wasn't lively at all. When asked about drink specials the bartender told me to just scan the code. Which just pulled up a very limited drink menu with no specials. I got a Margarita and old fashion. Both drinks cost us about $35, tip was already included, which is insane for something so basic. I'd say skip this place. The view is mediocre, as well as the drinks, and music.
I'm glad I tried out this bar. The waitress was sweet and polite and helped me out with Finding something to order. The drinks were good and strong and the service was excellent. Follow me on TikTok "taneeshanthecity"
What a great rooftop bar. Great views and the drinks and food were decent. Would definitely come back!
The only reason they get a 4 star is because we have to go downstairs to get certain food items. Like why wouldn't fries be offered by the bar. Fries are a staple any where you do!!!!! The drinks were super good. The bartender was really nice and was able to make some good suggestions. The music was ok. I feel like there was a DJ sitting next to us, however, I think he just made a playlist. It was a pretty chill place definitely recommend for a pre-game.
If you are looking for a rooftop bar in NOLA, this is it! The music, drinks, and the view are a combination that can't be touched. I ordered the Jazz Dad-quiri and a few other cocktails. I highly recommend this rooftop bar.
This place was pretty good. We had a large party here for my sister's wedding a couple weeks ago. I had the carne asada tacos for $12. They were very tasty and filling. My Mom had the chicken sliders, she enjoyed the flavor of the strawberry spiced BBQ sauce that was on them but the sliders were pretty small and at one point she questioned if her chicken was done all the way. The fries that accompanied them were hot and crispy. My husband had the burger. He finished it but didn't have a glowing review. They do temper checks for all guests entering and it is a nice rooftop atmosphere, but doesn't provide a super great view of Nola or anything.
The one star goes out to the ambiance, view & really nice staff! The lack of 4 stars is for this TWELVE DOLLAR cocktail that was served in the same cup I got my water in. Def killed the vibe if you're going up here for a cute experience/drink pictures with the view. Can't even blame it on covid, because they were serving wine in normal glasses. Aside from this good joke of a drink, they automatically add 20% gratuity to a table of 3..... and no one told us....and no one took our order... you text it in. Be prepared for this ~experience~ if you will.
I went up for a drink after deciding that we would stay in tonight, but was a bit disappointed in my decision. They had a nice little seating area, but it wasn't cleared and full of trash. I picked up the containers of empty food and cups and took them to the trash and went up to the counter to order a drink. They had one on the menu that stated bartender's choice. I inquired about it so I could place my order for it, and was told that they didn't have one tonight. Why is it on the menu if it wasn't an option? I actually felt a bit unwelcome at this point, so I just took a couple of photos with my husband after he got my drink and headed back to our room. It is a nice looking spot, but we won't be back.
Diamond member with Hilton- Talk about wasted space for something with great potential! Sub sub par service from staff that clearly doesn't want to be here! 15 patrons in line at 7pm on a Saturday... good time to take lunch break 1 of 2 bartenders??? WTF! Can we please get Jon taffer up in here! #barrescue
Food/Drinks-4 Ambience-4.5 Service-5 Me and my friends decided to go out for drinks, and we picked the PERFECT night to go out. At first, we thought it was going to be a bust because the crowd was a little bit older than we expected. But, I'm so glad we stayed! They gave everyone a choice of a free drink, and we got a free beer because there was a Coor's representative there! The drinks were good and strong, despite it being free! I also had my signature drink--a mojito, of course! (A little bit overpriced, if I might add.) It's such a cute little place to hang, and the DJ was doing a good job as well. Turns out that all the people that were around our age were hanging out on the other side next to the DJ. Service was good, and I knocked a star down because the chicken looked unappetizing and the pretzels were overpriced. I'll definitely be back for another good time!

Monkey Board is the rooftop bar at the Troubadour. Happy hour is 4 to 6 nightly and a very nice selection of drinks are available for $6 each. Everything we had was tasty and a decent pour (not "my bar at home during Covid pours" but still good!). The view is of buildings and the very top of the Superdome but it's in a city, what else do you want? The sunset made everything glow which was cool (in the winter you get a sunset with your happy hour)! It's definitely "3 seasons" with large windows that I assume are open in warmer weather. In colder weather they have heaters which is a nice touch. The staff was friendly and responsive. We have been making our list of things to see and do while here and they happily looked it over, giving us suggestions of where to go and where to avoid, which was very cool of them! It was most crowded around 5 and emptied out around 6. They stay open until 11, so not sure what the later night crowd looks like. They also have a pop up kitchen that is staffed by different restaurants each day (Check their website for who). We got tasty empanadas from Krewe du Crave. Check this place out, I think you'll be happy you did! read more

WOW, what can I say about this place? Dangerous and Negligent... We went to the rooftop bar for NYE and paid $100 per person to get seating. As you can tell by the pictures, the bar did not have enough seating to accommodate us. We paid for 8 spots and they could only seat 6 of us. Thankfully, one person was not able to make it and they refused to refund the money. The place was packed and oversold. While most NOLA establishments require facemasks and COVID vaccination cards, this place required neither. They also advertised a champagne toast at midnight and failed to do serve that. For $800 a table we expected a little better service. They really needed better systems from greeting and informing guests about the night to a staff member who could accommodate large drink orders and ice for champagne. The real tragedy was the aftermath. I tested positive for COVID 2 days later. Within the next three days, everyone in our party tested positive as well. My special needs daughter tested positive and ended up in the hospital for a couple of days with respiratory issues. I called Monkey Board to inform them of the incident and the manager said he would send it to corporate and I would receive a call. One week later I called for the second time and got the run-around. I finally gave up. AVOID this place at all costs. They are more interested in your money than your health. With so many great places to spend your NYE in NOLA, I'd pick a place that was better organized and ready for a safe celebration.. read more

Service was good but I cannot believe I paid $15 for a margarita that didn't even fill half the glass. Love the ambiance but just not worth it. read more

This is a great spot to start a night out. The natural light is amazing! I recommend making a reservation online to secure a table or else you'll be standing. Their happy hour is full of yummy drinks- I usually stick to the margaritas but their mai Thais are a nice sweet treat. Love this place! read more

I had to see what the hype was about and I did. The place: Rooftop of the Troubadour Hotel you will find this little gem. The set up is fantastic. Love the canopied seating area in the rear. Perfect for relaxing & running it up with friends. The bar is centrally locates and easily accessed. There was a DJ that appeared at the 10 o'clock hour & this was an added delight. The service: NEEDS attention & revamping. We sat for about 15 minutes before the manager himself took our drink & food order. This was troubling to me. The drinks: Love the expansive, eclectic drink menu. Many concoctions to try for different tastes. The ingredients are listed so you know what you're getting. The food: It was fair. We ordered a shrimp roll to nosh on and well... I wasn't impressed. I would love to see a revamped food menu. I understand it's not the typical menu, but I don't find it to give a good variety. The view: OMGOSH!!!! amazing is the view. What's not to love. You're able to see the city from a different vantage point. And the night time view is THE BEST, I love my city!!!! All in all, I will visit again, the view alone is a draw; but I'll hope for better service & food menu. read more
So glad we found this rooftop! Gorgeous venue with a bar and Dj upstairs. Also couches and sections were available to lounge. The only downside was the DJ was a bit off. Weird transitions between uptempo and slow songs. And also why are we playing slow songs after midnight? Before 1 it's hip hop and then I hear after is house. I left in between but I wouldn't make this the last stop of your night. read more
Rooftop bar/restaurant on top the Troubadour Hotel. The bar is open daily with a DJ playing Tuesday through Sunday. There is bar seating and a variety of table and couch seating. Tip: If you move from the bar to other seating you must close out your tab and open a new one with the table waitress. The drink menu is small but they have some good choices. My favorite was the "I love you Honeybear" which was a vodka drink with a honey flavor. They also offer beer and wine. The food selection is extremely small. I had the pork sandwich which was ok. The giant pretzel with cheese sauce however was delicious. Lastly, the views of the New Orleans skyline are amazing. read more

The weather is just perfect for enjoying some drinks,food and a great conversation with friends or loved one at a rooftop bar. I'm a fan of feeling the evening breeze and this is one of my fav spots to do so. The place is clean,Safe and colorful. I give it 4 stars since the food menu lacked options. read more

This place is a super chill rooftop place to hang out with your friends! Sometimes they are booked with reservations and sometimes you can walk in and snag a spot. I would definitely call ahead to see what your options are! We walked in and I talked to the host and told her we would be a party of 10 but we weren't staying long so she was able to fit us in! We came for the happy hour drinks and sunset views and they did not disappoint! Super vibey and cheap drinks for happy hour! Love taking my friends here when they visit. read more
Monkey Board gets two opposable thumbs up from me. see what I did there. The ambiance of the location was really nice. We set up for the bachelor festivities on their famed rooftop bar. It was a pretty chilly night so I didn't understand why this place was chosen. Then they proceeded to ignite these large propane tanks that emitted heat in all directions then I could instantly see the attraction. Imagine being on a rooftop knowing it's cold outside but you can't feel it. The view from the roof was amazing as well, you could see practically all of downtown New Orleans from here. We even captured a peak at the vaunted Mercedes Benz Superdome. That place is definitely on my bucket list after seeing it up close and in person. Gives you a certain chill because of its rustic exterior design and simplistic look. Now for the reason you guys were here!! The FOOD was pretty good and some items were better than others. It was typical bar food you can expect but with a little twist. Why make bad food and just make it bar food, NOLA says I'll see you meal and give it a bayou kick in the pants. Their sliders and wings are second to none in my opinion. The wings came with what I can only describe as a bang bang sauce because they were tossed in a type of Asian bayou zing blend that tasted nothing like anywhere else I've ever eaten. The pretzels were really salty and I didn't appreciate that but that's only one bad item. The servers were really attentive to us and made sure the drinks kept flowing. If that's not hospitality then I don't know what is. We drank more than our fair share on that rooftop. It was a great idea in hindsight because little did we know our night and weekend were just getting started! read more

Oh my goodness where do I start. For starters the remodel on this building is absolutely horrible. Absolutely I repeat absolutely horrible the night we went there they offered us ceviche or Cheetos that was the entire menu i included photos of the menu an absolute joke of a restaurant. I have never once been to a restaurant that was this hilarious, I felt like I was an episode of Pranked read more

One word: Breathtaking!! This place is beyond amazing! The view is just sincere, relaxing, and just beautiful overlooking downtown New Orleans! When you exit the elevators to the too floor, you enter a world of paradise! True definition of serenity why you enjoy the many bites and drinks the lounge has to offer! This place is the place to be on a Friday and Saturday night! The Troubadour itself is a great hotel as well! read more

Cutest rooftop bar in NOLA! Perfect for a girls evening/ night. The happy hour prices are great ($6 cocktails) and the appetizers were delicious. Our server was amazing, and the atmosphere was really cute!! Loved this place and lots of cute spots to take pictures! Drinks were VERY strong, so worth the $6. The salsa was super tasty, and so was the spinach artichoke dip. We also got the cheese dip which was good, but the other two were better. read more
I love love love Monkey board Bar. Its one of my favorite rooftop bars in the city. The atmosphere is nice, they play mild techno music in the background which is ok for the vibe. The do sell food along with drinks which is nice and their food is always delicious. We had Frozen Sangrias and a Hurricane which was pretty good but it tasted more sweet than strong which I didnt like therefore I needed 2 drinks. But overall I would still recommend and come back to this place a million times because the staff, the vibe and the view is so nice read more

Any non-alcoholic cocktails / fun drinks served?
There are no non-alcoholic cocktails posted on their menu. I imagine you could request some of their signature cocktails without alcohol. They do include a 20% gratuity on your bill so keep that in mind. The views are amazing ... enjoy
Is Monkey Board open as of 9/27 following hurricane Ida?
Hello! Yes, we have been open! Also, as of today, we have all new furniture. Come on over and check it out!
Can we dance here? Trying to celebrate a friend's birthday and she loves dancing!
Unfortunately it's not that type of place. Its basically a stand around and drink type of place. Frenchmen at has lots of good music and dancing though.
I tried booking on open table and it says there is nothing available until Sunday, is this accurate? Can we just come and drink at the bar?
Hello and so sorry for the delay! We do get quite busy on the weekends and are frequently to capacity. There are limited options for walk-ins, but we do occasionally have openings.
Hello! Is this a 21+ establishment? The roof top restaurant? Thanks
Hi Sammie - we are all ages!
Can I just go have a drink and appetizer or do I need reservation? Also is there currently a happy hour?
You don't have to have a reservation but it really helps during these times.. they have limited capacity and limited menu, obviously. They do not have their own dedicated phone line up there so do it online. Once there, you will have to use your…
Is the bar area open on Monday night's?
Yes! As of today, August 10th, 2020, we are open 7 days a week!
