This landmark bar in the Roosevelt Hotel is named after the city’s official drink. The bar itself—made from African walnut—stretches the length of the room and is patrolled by bartenders in white coats and bow ties. Take a seat and enjoy the show as they prep classic cocktails in the shadow of gleaming mirrors and famed Paul Ninas murals. The signature Sazerac is a highlight, of course, but the other must-try is the Ramos Gin Fizz. Favored by legendary Louisiana Governor Huey P. Long (he was a regular fixture at the bar and a part-time resident of the hotel), the cocktail is a frothy concoction reminiscent of a citrusy cake in a glass.
