The re-opening of the popular Sazerac Bar in the Roosevelt Hotel, a Waldorf-Astoria property, was a hallmark of recovery in New Orleans.

The Sazerac Bar

This landmark bar is famous for its Sazerac cocktail and Ramos Gin Fizz, drinks invented in the city, but you can get your favorite cocktail there. The ambiance is that of a different era, with the murals on the walls harkening back to the glamorous twenties and thirties.

You may find yourself sitting next to some of the Who's Who in New Orleans. The Bar is the best place to wait for your table at the Sazerac Restaurant, another greatly missed classic that has re-opened with a splash.
