The Columns Bar in New Orleans
Recently chosen the #2 bar in New Orleans by Gambit, The Columns cozy and extravagant milieu is a must-visit drinking spot for anyone who lives in New Orleans or plans to be visiting.
The Columns is an Italianate mansion that’s structure is over 100 years old. This hotel is like a home away from home that you can’t afford. Late-nighters will enjoy the happenings in the Victorian Lounge which has lavishness that will make you think Queen Anne belongs there. There are regal jazz brunches in the Albertine Tea Room if you seek a place to kick back and take in New Orleans during the daytime. I would recommend a mimosa there on Sunday to keep the buzz going from Friday and Saturday night. Walk around the partly covered porch and say high to some interesting locals.
After your drink, you can walk right out to St. Charles Ave. and take a street car ride.
Top Reasons to visit the Columns:
- “Why? Well, aside from the Old South setting, beers at happy hour are a measly $2, and mixed drinks are not much more.”
- Mentioned about staying at The Columns during Jazz Fest and wanting a place to eat, “Your advantage there is that you can get a table, which might be more than can be said elsewhere in the City during Jazz Fest.”
- Do you like Vodka cocktails? “Hopefully in New Orleans your cup will always overfloweth, but if you’ve had some bad luck with weak drinks, or if you’re in the mood to have a presentable cocktail, one that’s not served in a plastic cup, The Columns Hotel serves some straight up delicious vodka drinks.”
- “Beautiful on the outside, great bar and drinks, air conditioning nice and cool, wonderful balcony….rooms could be spectacular..”
- “I spent my Honeymoon here and lord if only my marriage was as pleasant as the Columns!”
