    You missed the Sazerac Bar in the newly restored Roosevelt Hotel. One of the city's most famous and overlooked. The cocktail originated there. Beautiful room with excellent bartenders.

    The cocktail culture in New Orleans has exploded in the last 3 years. Among my personal favorites are Arnaud's French 75, Bar Tonique, Clever, and the previously mentioned Sazerac Bar. But the three BEST cocktail bars in the city (in my opinion) are Cure, Loa, and Iris.

    Consider the polo lounge in the Windsor Court hotel. The best sazerac I have found in the city.
