"Part hotel lobby bar, part fairground ride, there’s no mistaking the singular design of this old school New Orleans institution. The revolving bar is a century old, the centerpiece being a fully illuminated, gold and red, 25-seat circus merry-go-round with a 360-degree bar carved into the middle of it. The novelty aspect alone makes the bar worth a trip, especially on a slow afternoon without the evening and weekend crowds. The historic and cultural aspects only add to the experience, as does the drinks program, long on New Orleans traditions, which belies the fairground gimmickry." - Paul Oswell, Andrew Parks
