About Jack Rose: 

Jack Rose features menu items that are a mix of New Orleans’ craveable Italian, French and Spanish dishes. The cuisine is unpretentious and skillfully executed. Guests can expect the Crescent City’s joie de vivre atmosphere, coupled with tableside preparations inspired by classic dishes alongside modern delicacies that are complemented by vibrant cocktails and a wine list that skews towards bubbles.

About Hot Tin

Once a penthouse, today the space has been converted into an intimate rooftop bar where champagne and bright cocktails complement the 270-degree view of Downtown New Orleans and the Mississippi River. Modeled after a 1940s artist’s loft, the interior space is both airy and eclectic, a place where you can lounge on couches or explore the  wall of curios and knick-knacks that bring moments past into the present.  Glass accordion doors open onto the balcony, showcasing the incomparable view of Downtown, while a second, more secluded terrace offers a bird’s-eye view of Saint Charles Avenue.

About Bayou Bar

The Bayou Bar, where the New Orleans Saints football franchise was christened in 1966, offers a casual tavern-style ambiance. Once a drinking den for both Sinatra and Capote, the Bayou Bar honors its past with a robust whiskey list, celebrated weekly at Whiskey Wednesdays. On the weekend, the rollicking Steinway piano plays, and every day great bar food, including the legendary 1&1 Burger and Mile High Pie, is served.

About Silver Whistle Cafe

Nestled in the corner of the Pontchartrain Hotel overlooking St Charles Avenue, The Silver Whistle is a bright, cheerful cafe where locals and visitors alike can enjoy the charming ambiance with their breakfast or lunch.
