5 Unique Restaurants & Bars to Try in New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana

New Orleans is known for many things, but one of the first things that always comes to mind is how wonderful the food and drinks are. Anytime we asked for a recommendation for a bar or restaurant in New Orleans, the answer was always, “Well, there isn’t a bad place to eat or drink here!” With that being said, there were several spots that really stood out above the rest for us, and offered some truly unique experiences!

The Carousel Bar & Lounge is inside the Hotel Monteleone - and the bar is actually a revolving carousel! Need I say more? Haha. While a moving carousel bar may sound like a bad idea (especially when drinking is involved), I can assure you that the bar is not moving too quickly (you won’t get dizzy). But in the time it would take for you to get up and go to the restroom, your drink and friends would probably be on the other side of the bar by the time you returned. The food and drinks were good - I wouldn’t say there was anything here that you couldn’t get at any other lounge/bar in NOLA, but the experience of being on a carousel whilst drinking is pretty darn awesome! Obviously, this place is pretty busy, no matter the time of day. You’ll have to wait patiently for your seat at the bar! Click here for more info on The Carousel Bar & Lounge. ......
