Arrive early on weekends as the lounge fills up quickly with locals and visitors alike.

The Polo Club Lounge at Windsor Court is a celebrated cocktail venue nestled in the heart of New Orleans, renowned for its classic yet vibrant atmosphere. This elegant cocktail bar is reminiscent of a private English club, adorned with rich dark wood and plush leather furnishings, offering a timeless setting for both locals and visitors alike. Positioned adjacent to The Grill Room on the second floor of the hotel, the venue is noted for its extensive collection of spirits, including one of the largest Cognac selections in the city, which pairs perfectly with its elevated pub fare.

Serving guests from late morning to late night, The Polo Club features a menu that puts a New Orleans twist on classic pub dishes, catering to a range of tastes with options like charcuterie and artisanal flatbreads. The culinary offerings provide a delightful complement to the bar’s classic cocktail selections, creating a well-rounded dining and drinking experience.

Music is a highlight of the Polo Club experience, with live jazz performances filling the air nightly. Visitors can enjoy piano performances from talented local jazz artists during the week, and soulful band performances on the weekends. The club's warm and lively ambiance makes it ideal for anyone looking to relax with a pre-dinner cocktail, enjoy an evening meal, or wind down with a nightcap.

While The Polo Club welcomes anyone seeking a sophisticated night out, guests should be mindful of its age policy, as those under 18 are not permitted after 8:00 p.m. Despite being part of a hotel, the lounge is very much an open and inclusive space where locals and hotel guests can mingle, enhancing its status as a beloved local spot.
