- Fodor's TravelJanuary 28, 2016The Sazerac Bar claims to serve the only authentic Ramos Gin Fizz in town. It was apparently Governor Huey P. Long’s favorite drink. Read more

Randall ThomasOctober 4, 2011Great place for a classic Whisky cocktail - next time you order a manhattan, go for "dry" or "perfect" - subs/cuts the sweet vermouth with dry vermouth instead. A completely different cocktail.Upvoted Nov 18
Brad GrahamNovember 23, 2013Tony and Davis Rogan enjoy a few signature cocktails and an ambience that harkens to an older time. Named after the world’s first mixed drink, Sazerac has as much history and lore as its namesake.- Ryan EugeneNovember 12, 2018Renowned historical bar inside the Roosevelt Hotel. Open since the 1930s, The Sazerac is now The Official Cocktail of New Orleans, and this is the best place to try it. My fave is The Ramos Gin Fizz.
- Nicole CheramieNovember 9, 2018Pay homage to this bar's namesake with a toast to what many believe is the first cocktail in America. This bar inside the Roosevelt Hotel has an elegant upscale vibe perfect for a date night spot.
KT FloridaJuly 28, 2015This bar shattered a 100 year old males only custom back in1949 by allowing women. Get a Sazerac or Ramos gin fizz!
Dave SawyerMarch 8, 2015One word. Classy. One of the best Old Fashioned's I've ever had. Dress up. Bring a date. Step back in time a little.- Kevin SkobacDecember 30, 2014Very knowledgeable & deliberate bar tenders and well crafted house cocktail menu make this a great spot for a high end drink
AlyssaNovember 22, 2015Classic New Orleans bar. Excellent cocktails, beautiful location and lots of history. Definitely worth stopping by during your visit to New Orleans.
Greg SchulerFebruary 3, 2017A solid stop for a Sazerac (of course) or a Ramos Gin Fizz. Inside the beautiful Roosevelt Hotel.- Kim DruschJune 14, 2013Excellent destination: handcrafted cocktails and a knowledgeable bartender. We especially enjoyed the Blood Orange Sunset the Southern Gentleman and the Texas Mule. It's an experience not just a bar.
Catherine ASeptember 9, 2016The gin fizz is amazing. It's creamy without having any milk in it. And very easy to drink!- Gerald WilsonAugust 23, 2022Beautiful, beautiful bar. Step back in time. Great, though expensive, drinks particularly the Ramos Gin Fizz, Sazerac and Pimms Cup.
William HJune 10, 2013Ramos Gin Fizz is a must. Classic bar with beautiful hotel. Artwork is dated and fairly inappropriate for modern day. Drinks are spot on.
Tisha CiureaFebruary 14, 2018Classic New Orleans cocktails in a lovely upscale environment. Ramos Gin Fizz is my go to , like drinking a lemon pie.
Neli ParchikMarch 21, 2015Even though the Sazerac is New Orleans' official cocktail, I wouldn't say it was my favorite - but they do make some awesome Bellini-s 👍
Anthony BuchananOctober 13, 2019Excellent tour of the history of Sazerac and similar drinks. All with tasty samples of course.
Jarrod KlawinskyDecember 15, 2016If the Roosevelt Hotel didn't empress you then Sazerac will, Art Deco interiors and hands down the best Gin Fiz's in the world.
Ben K.November 21, 2016Home of the namesake cocktail, in a lovely, Art Deco designed space. The gin fizz is great too.
Steph SchneiderFebruary 8, 2017Go. Get the sazarac! Read about the amazing history. The murals are awesome and original. Speakeasy feel.
Yes, the gin fizz is great. Try the Hot Buttered Rum in winter, though! It's like liquid Christmas. Not too sweet, not too strong...just PERFECT!
Anna WardNovember 1, 2015I know you'll want a sazerac, but try a gin fizz. Tangy and sweet and artfully made. Like a soufflé in a glass!
Istria L.September 6, 2015Have to say, though pre made syrup and all that, the ramos gin fizz is magnificent
Michelin Travel & LifestyleMarch 29, 2012At the Sazerac Bar inside the Roosevelt Hotel, order a potent sazerac or a more refreshing Ramos Gin Fizz. -Travel Editor
Rob RebelAugust 9, 2015Birthplace of the cocktail. Get the Sazerac...You owe it to the cocktail gods.
eric bornemannNovember 25, 2020Wonder what kind of drink the serve here... it’s delicious and a good way to use your Hilton Honors credit.- Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013This historic bar specializes in classics like a Gin Fizz or, of course, a Sazarac. There's plenty of Scotch, too. – Green Guide Editor
Sannidhi 🐾January 6, 2019Just get the Sazerac. Bubbly lady and other signature cocktails after that.
Marc CDecember 5, 2017A little fancier than I expected, but worth it for the history and the Sazarac cocktail
Brendan MJanuary 16, 2016Great old cocktail lounge feel w excellent cocktails nestled in the beautiful Roosevelt hotel
Paula CaudillMay 29, 2013Old fashioned was nice, but the Ramos Gin Fizz is the best I've had this NOLA trip.
Moe DexlerMay 29, 2016Cool old bar in here where important people like presidents and governors got together to discuss strategy and women.
- Anthony BuchananOctober 13, 2019Visiting is free and you can reserve a time slot online. The tour lasts about an hour.
Mallary SNovember 9, 2018Classic bar with lots of wood; comfy, romantic. Thankfully, there's no TV!!- Brendan RastetterAugust 15, 2014As you would imagine, they serve the best Sazerac in New Orleans. Boucherie's is a close second.
Sarah NixonNovember 29, 2016Definitely worth going to, even if it's just to experience the history of the place.
Cocktails are great, but don't overlook the strong bourbon and American whiskey selections
Find. Eat. Drink.July 5, 2011In spite of its history, this is not the best place to taste the classics, but worth seeing the 1930’s WPA-era murals by artist Paul Nina.
