Guide greets you when you walk in and is close by throughout your experience. You learn about the history , there are plenty of touch free experiences which are cool. I liked learning about the foods and how to prepare them at this counter. Going up the elevator was cool bc there is a short video on your way up. The view was amazing from the inside and that's where you take a pic The highest level is when you go outside , it's very windy so you couldn't really enjoy it for long. There is a small deli to get snacks or your drink. On your way out, you look at the pic that you take which is worth it. You get three pics for $30 in front of nice backgrounds. Comes w the digitals which you could have enlarged or share . Definitely worth it. I've been coming to Mew Orleans for years but there's nothing wrong with having professional pics. The photographer is very nice as well. Great staff and experience.

Really disappointing experience…read more Vue honestly felt pretty bare bones to me. Yes, I learned some things about the culture and people of New Orleans and I got a few good pictures but I wouldn't recommend this at all. I was hoping to get a picture with my sister as indicated on the website but I didn't see anyone offer that or see it as an option once we made it there. I thought the mini story in the elevator was fun, short of course but they need to restructure this place I honestly was unimpressed. The website suggest it takes an hour and a half to experience the whole place, we walked the whole place, took pictures, watched 2 videos in well under an hour and a half. The employees were very nice and helpful; maybe I expected to much of Vue but I say temper your expectations.

And I've gotta say... those commentators and I need to hang out, let me drive you around town... I think I could show you a place or two that might help you have a better view on the "divey" lens of things... because y'all, Nola's got em. And this ain't one. But what Basin is... Is a rather wonderfully appointed small neighborhood bar. Think more suburban man-cave. Divey... Nope. Hell, every single barstool had all it's legs, none of them wobbled, and all were standing right-side up. There were multiple TVs. All seemed to be connected to cable or satellite... All of them were in new fangled color-vision... And not a single bullet hole to speak of. I would even watch the falcons here. For God's sake, there's a museum of worldly artifacts in the billiards room (can't even call it a pool room, it's too nice)... And this doesn't even cover the gorgeous patio in the back... And if that doesn't convince you... Hell, the toilets had no noticeable urine or graffiti, and were well stocked with premium tissues and great smelling soap.. And, I know you won't believe this... And this is not exaggeration, the bathrooms smelled like they were scented with fresh laundry. I know this might be one heck of a turnoff for a lot of you... Cause if you're looking for a dive bar, keep driving towards the dome. But if your looking for an awesome little place to grab a delicious cold beer at an amazing price with a super friendly staff... That's what Basin is.

The ambiance is perfect..overlooking the French Quarter, its design and decor epitomizes the sophistication of Westin Hotels. The crowd was a mix of vacationists and corporate people who are there for meetings and conventions, and the staff were all polite and personable. We ordered drinks for the most part, and the price point was not really bad for a hotel bar- about $16 for regular drinks like vodka soda, and about $26 for doubles.

I ultimately ordered the Sautéed Garlic Shrimp with butternut squash risotto. The presentation was beautiful and the flavors were rich and creamy. Also, Eddie kept my water glass filled and made me feel special and welcomed. The ambiance at the Fountain Lounge is classic luxury. Plus, the staff is always on point. They even remembered my special occasion when I last dined there. Plus, the team was attentive and quite friendly. My only complaint is that the piano is no longer there. Apparently, the powers that be decided to remove the soul of the restaurant. In the days of old, a pianist played sets during dinner. Not only did it make guests truly appreciate the musical style of New Orleans, but the melodic music also drew others into the restaurant. What a shame to have lost the heart and soul of the restaurant. Yet, the staff does their best to create a warm and welcoming environment, while the chefs provide truly top notch cuisine. Whether staying at the Roosevelt or simply enjoying the French Quarter, the Fountain Lounge is a perfect place to enjoy delicious cuisine and top notch service.

A friendly, comfortable, neighborhood place with cool cocktails, vintage pinball, a jukebox, pool table, and really good Italian-style, thin-crust pizzas (when available). The vibe is kinda casual-vintage-hipster-romantic, if that makes sense, haha. We were here for Happy Hour and got a pineapple-cilantro margarita which was delish! There were free popcorn & snacks too! All in all, a good place to grab a drink & hang out! read more

It's one of those great neighborhood bars that you frequent with your girlfriends. It reminds me a lot of when I was in college. Great drink specials, food and service! It's nice to be called by your name and they know what you drink...maybe I am just there more often then not. lol read more

Its been about 8 years since my last review of Winstons and felt it was worth updating…read more It was 5 stars then, and it is still 5 stars now. This is one of the best Metairie bars, if not THE best Metairie bar. It is very Nola'esque. It has that personality that Metairie bars generally do not have. Its in an older building, with a beautiful outdoor space. It is dog friendly. And they have craft cocktails, not just a large beer selection. It is like a cigar bar or a man cave with leather couches and dark woods and lamps inside. They have plenty of fun board games. They are non smoking bar. They place sports on their tvs inside and outside. And they doc crawfish boils on Sunday evenings during crawfish season (Feb-May). I do wish they did them either on Saturday or earlier on Sunday, like 1pm. They have plenty of parking. They are right next to a loud train, so be prepared to turn that into a drinking game every time the train passes. Although they dont really have a full food menu, they do sometimes serve some of the best fish and chips. I don't have anything negative to say about this place. it is great.

I'm all for following rules but the rules put in place seem to be aimed towards the way black people dress and instead white people were dressed this way and still allowed in. I never thought this place would be one of those that try to keep black people away but my experience on Wednesday definitely showed this bar's true colors.
