Step into the Grand Roosevelt Hotel's cocktail bar, where plush banquettes and a chic old-world charm meet expertly crafted classics and fabulous service.
"The Sazerac Bar at The Roosevelt New Orleans doesn’t mess with its namesake whiskey drink but does shine extra bright as the hotel lights up in gaudy splendor." - Adam H. Callaghan
"Back in the day, Huey P. Long used to order his beloved Ramos Gin Fizzes here. Today, you can get all sorts of exceptional cocktails at this Roosevelt hotel beauty, but ordering the bar’s namesake, a Sazerac, is a sure bet." - Eater Staff
"There are 100 places in Orleans Parish where you can get a sazerac (and probably a dozen where you can get a really good one). But this low-lit, throwback swanky bar in the Roosevelt Hotel is so devoted to the iconic New Orleans cocktail that it's named for it. The Sazerac Bar tops the list." - Eater Staff, Clair Lorell
"Located in the lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel, the Sazerac Bar has barely changed since it opened in the 1930s. No, the namesake drink wasn’t invented here, but they do make great cocktails and it’s a bar that feels like it’s seen a lot. This place is regularly filled with everyone from local politicians to bachelorette parties, and it’s a great spot to start a night if you're planning on taking a walk down Bourbon Street." - team infatuation, zella palmer
"Sazerac Bar is one of the most storied places to sip a cocktail (Sazerac, we’d hope) in New Orleans. The hotel opened the bar in 1938 then purchased the rights to the Sazerac name in 1949 and dubbed the bar accordingly. Today, the menu is still full of perfected NOLA classics, like the Ramos Gin Fizz and Vieux Carre. The decor, including African walnut wood paneling and murals by Paul Ninas (painted in 1938), has been painstakingly maintained." - Kate Dingwall
