Known forVieux CarréFleur de LisEspresso Martini
The Carousel Bar & Lounge is a novelty bar inside the Hotel Monteleone featuring a slowly rotating carousel counter with about 12 seats—the main draw is sitting at the spinning bar while sipping cocktails. Try their signature Vieux Carré or the Fleur de Lis. The real catch: it's first-come, first-serve seating at the carousel, extremely busy and loud, and you may wait a while for a spot to open up.
