We've genuinely loved this restaurant in the past, which made this experience especially disappointing. One of the reasons we've recommended it before is because it's one of the few late-night spots with great food, cocktails, and an amazing atmosphere. During a previous visit, we had called ahead to ask if bringing a baby was okay and were told it was completely fine, so we didn't think to double check this time. When we arrived, we were immediately told children weren't allowed. We politely explained that we had been there before with a stroller and were simply asking if the policy had changed. Unfortunately, the interaction with management felt cold and dismissive from the start, as if we were causing an issue when we were only looking for clarification. We stayed respectful the entire time, but the experience left us feeling unwelcome and confused by the inconsistency. It was disappointing because this had genuinely been one of our favorite spots in the city. What made it even more frustrating was that we had specifically come there hungry after getting into town late, knowing they served food late into the night. We ended up leaving not only disappointed, but honestly starving too.

Ambiance was nice. Food was mediocre. Everything was a bit overpriced. Service was very slow & inattentive. Hostess was unwelcoming. Location was hard to find. Wasn't a fan or the food or experience.

Came in after dinner with a large group to celebrate my 42nd birthday on the night of 10/30 with a 10pm reservation. Overall, my party had a great time. The atmosphere was lively, the drinks were great, and the music set the perfect vibe. We reserved a large section for 13 people Our main server, a gentleman, was very friendly and attentive. However, we did have an unpleasant interaction with a second server, a woman who was quite rude when we were taking photos and videos. Instead of politely asking us to turn off the flash, she shouted across the area, which was unnecessary. Later, when bringing drinks, she accused us of recording her, even though the focus was clearly on the drinks. She could've easily ruined the night, but I chose to overlook it and continue celebrating. I'd definitely come back because we had a great time overall but I'd just prefer not to have her as our server again.

What a cute speakeasy! We walked by and were able to find it easily from the outside, but the secret is to go through the hotel and get in through the bookcase. The vibes are super sexy & sleek inside. We got seated quickly and ordered a round of cocktails. My martini was perfect. Our waiter gave us some great reccs.

Unexpected

New Orleans wasn't shy about drinking during the prohibition of alcohol, so speakeasys aren't common here. But this place is a solid one - push the shelf to enter and enjoy the dark lit bar and lounge area with a velvety theme walls and curtains. Go into the bathroom for some French jokes. The staff was friendly enough to take my drink back and redo it to how I liked it - thank you! The pink demon was my favorite, I will for sure come back for this drink. The unexpected had a strong citrus-like bitterness so I sent it back and had a version with whiskey sour, which worked out so well. Come here for a nice dim-lit evening escapeed when even if you're with a friend, it somehow feels like a date.

Classic Espresso Martini

This is a dark, comfy, richly appointed speakeasy with delicious espresso martinis and other cocktails! The couches devour you in soft luxury and the service is very good. We had a nice time here.

Everything was phenomenal, loved the vibe and the service was all around five stars. The food and beverage were 12/10 and I will definitely be going back again next time i'm in NOLA.

One of those hidden-in-plain-sight spots that feels like stepping into a more refined version of New Orleans nightlife. It's the perfect place to catch a trendy cocktail -- think craft ingredients, elegant glassware, and bartenders who actually care -- all while soaking in the sounds of live jazz. Whether you're starting your evening or looking for a nightcap, the vibe is chill, upscale, and just a little bit glam. The kind of place where locals bring out-of-towners to impress them without the chaos of Bourbon Street. If you're looking to sip, sway, and unwind, Salon Salon delivers.

I think this was the pink demon. It was good but wouldn't order again. A little too sweet.

Cool place to hang out and get a cocktail. Their drinks are unique and creative. We enjoyed our time here. Service was really quick as well. It's got a fun and unique ambiance.

We were here a few years ago when it was still called Bar MARiLOU, and the atmosphere feels just the same--moody, stylish, and inviting. Our server was awesome and really elevated the experience. We ordered three appetizers and two cocktails. The cocktails were very unique and unlike anything I've had before, which was a fun surprise. The appetizers were amazing--especially the deviled eggs with caviar, the pork belly, and the fries. Everything was flavorful and well done. Definitely a spot worth revisiting.

Had one drink here, absolutely disgusting. Ordered two, only one came to the table. The two of us who ordered it tried it. Ended up cancelling the second drink order. Staff seemed irritated with the request. Ambiance was nice but large party seating is not accommodating.

What an absolutely amazing experience. Dante and the other bartender with the beautifully colorful hair were absolute gems! Thank you Dante for laughing at my jokes! Monique, the hostess, was gorgeous and so kind and accommodating. Thank you so much Monique for showing us the secret room it really put the cherry on top for my bday. If you're in the area you HAVE to go.

Yet, it seems quite popular with locals and was fairly full for a Tuesday Trivia Night. I ordered a Pimm's cup since Pimm's was on the shelf - the bartender looked confused and told me they don't have any of the ingredients to make one. I changed my order to a flavored vodka - they don't stock any. I ended up ordering a Vodka & 7, but received a Vodka Soda. Were the drinks cheap? Not so much. Was the service friendly? Not so much. I ordered food hoping this was the redeeming feature of the bar. I ordered a steak sandwich at $18 - the service time was quick but the sandwich didn't have much flavor - it was a dry, difficult to bite through thin steak with not much flavor to speak of. The tater tots were crispy and hot and I loved the Brussel Sprouts; they were doused excessively in the dressing but I liked it. There is a nice patio out back - they had fans in this area which is always appreciated. This bar just didn't have the stock and amenities that many other bars in the area do have . Walk to magazine street for better options.

It's the perfect venue to enjoy a delicious craft beer paired with light snacks and appetizers. They have an awesome outdoor section that's ideal for large groups, events, or just hanging out with friends. I love the outdoor games and the relaxed vibe -- especially during the spring and summer months when they run their weekend crawfish specials. The beer selection is excellent with a wide variety of options, and the connected Bayou Wine Garden gives you even more choices. Happy hour here is truly one of the best in the city! My personal favorites: the naked wings and the Caesar salad -- always delicious. There's plenty of seating, great energy, and it's consistently a fun, easygoing spot to grab a drink, enjoy good food, and connect with friends. Service is great at both venues.

This place is fantastic whether you're popping in for after-work drinks, or even a platter of their seasonal crawfish (often cash only from the vendor, around $19 per box with fixings--check their Instagram for updates). a solid menu of bites like poppers, crab cakes, fries, and burgers, plus that expansive outdoor seating connected to Bayou Wine Garden, it's an ideal hangout to soak in the evening bliss of NOLA. The staff is typically kind and efficient, handling the packed crowds with ease despite all the requests. Give it a try--whether you're a local or a tourist, you'll feel right at home by the bayou.
