Fantastic spot right off Bourbon Street. Classy, old school bar with professional bartenders in nice jackets. My drinks were excellent and the food was outstanding.

I really liked French 75 Bar. The ambience is a part of the experience, classic and old school cocktail bar feel that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. Definitely a must visit for their iconic French 75. It’s the original cocktail they’re known for and it lives up to the hype. Service was good too.

Amazing, I can not say enough great things about the cocktail bar here. The cocktails are classics and perfectly made (now dont think classic like old and dated, these spirited beverages are on this list because they are perfections of time and experience but also freshened up to modern seasonality and fun). The service is great the wait staff addressed every need in the bar from making suggestions and pairing (Thanks Chris!) they even plugged in another near by tables phone--on mardigras weekend! So service never slips. If your looking for a beer or a hole in the wall please skip over this establishment but, amazing cocktails paired with a bar menu and service that transports you to another time and place and makes you forget the chaos outside and the urgency of your phone--this is the place!
