Step into The Sazerac Bar at The Roosevelt, a legendary landmark in New Orleans’ Central Business District. Crafted from a single slab of African walnut and framed by vibrant Paul Ninas murals, the bar offers an Art Deco sanctuary dating back to 1938. More than just decor—the bar’s namesake cocktail, the Sazerac, is considered America’s first signature drink and served here with ritual precision. And if you're curious about invention origin stories, the legendary Ramos Gin Fizz was created right here by Henry C. Ramos at the hotel’s predecessor saloon. Wardrobe is upscale casual—gentlemen in bow ties or loafers, ladies in pearls or cocktail attire—though no strict dress code is enforced. The bartenders in crisp attire will walk you through their award-winning menu of classic and modern cocktails, fine wines, and rare spirits in a calm, elegant setting. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or softly settling into a seat at the bar, expect warm hospitality and gracious Southern ambiance. A favorite for locals and travellers seeking refined flavors and storied surroundings, The Sazerac Bar remains both a nostalgic destination and cocktail connoisseur’s paradise.
