Jaunted in New Orleans :: Carousel Piano Bar
Inside the Hotel Monteleone, the Carousel Piano Bar & Lounge could be one of the city's top cocktail spots. After getting slammed last week during this summer's Tales of the Cocktail, things were considerably more quiet when I popped in early this week.
The most notable feature of the bar is its in-the-round format, complete with moving floor: The barstools actually rotate around the bartender all night. (Thankfully, the spinning is quite slow.) Gossiping about all the fellow drinkers you'll spy as the wheel turns is almost as much fun as the drinks.
Speaking of, they're terrific. You won't find any hand grenades at the Carousel. This place is all about the classics, like negronis, sazeracs and lots of bourbon. Fortunately for me, my room was right upstairs.
