Really cool videos! But super busy!! Very yummy drinks, great good and amazing music. If you can find a seat it’s worth it!

This is a must-see in NOLA! While it was very busy, we did manage to snag some seats on the actual carousel bar itself. It was also one of the best G&T’s I’ve ever had as well. Highly recommend to anyone visiting New Orleans, especially for the first time!

We didn't have food, but we did have drinks, and they were fantastic. Once you step on the Carousel and start to spin around, you won't want to leave. We had the famous Vieux Carré (picture included). They are strong! But they are so we'll balanced they go down easy. Speaking of balance, be careful getting off the Carousel after a few! The staff was so friendly, and it was entertaining watching them work with a moving bar. The atmosphere is like a big party, everyone is there to make friends. Go early to avoid a long wait to get to the bar.

We didn’t order food but we did get drinks! This is such a fun bar, but to get a seat at the carousel, you need to be lucky! It was very busy and every seat was taken on a Sunday!
If you don’t mind sitting in the “normal” part of the bar, then there is ample lounge style seating. We were okay with scoring a table and a few couches! They have live music periodically with a stage.
Drinks were great and the staff was attentive. They seemed very busy.

Rely fun for a drink. Its going to be packed, just anticipate a croud. We waited patiently until some seats opend up and we took our chance. You have to be fast. Speeking of fast the bar staff are slinging drinks like crazy. The drinks are not cheep but they are delicious.

Arrived about 45 minutes before doors opened and we were front of the line, by about 5 minutes. Great selection of cocktails and other drinks on the menu, but the bar staff can mix most drinks. We had a Sazerac and a couple of Mudslides. Excellent ambiance. What a fabulous experience.

Great little bar inside of the Hotel Monteleon. We stopped in on Halloween afternoon. It was busy, but we still got great seats next to the rotating carousel bar. Stiff drinks and great staff. Can't wait to visit again soon!

What a tremendously fun and essential New Orleans experience. From the spinning bar to the live music, this place is classy, unique, charming and comforting. Just make sure you get there early or expect to stand for most of the night. Lovely place and would recommend if just for one drink.

The Carousel Bar at Hotel Monteleone is pure enchantment. The revolving bar, classic cocktails, and live jazz create a timeless atmosphere. The bartenders are master mixologists. It's a must-visit for a taste of New Orleans history and a memorable night out. A solid 5-star choice for a truly unique experience!

Very delicious cocktails. We didn't get the seats at Rotating Bar because everyone wanted to sit there, but seriously it no point in sitting there. We found better seats in the next room more comfortable. Cocktails are a little more expensive than most cocktails bar because of nonsense gimmick rotating bar. We got amazing services for young ladies.
