Bar Marilou

Delicious cocktails and bites! Best pomme frites I've ever had!! Service is fantastic and the ambiance is amazing!

We stopped in on a whim as we were walking back to our hotel, and are definitely adding it to our list of favorites. It's an intimate and unique atmosphere on the inside, perfect for conversation and upscale cocktails, expertly crafted to enjoy while relaxing on velvet armchairs. The service and staff were also courteous and obliging with great recommendations on the menu. Easy to recommend this place.

Awesome place.
Excellent attentive staff.
Our friends took my husband and I here and it's definitely a vibe. I loved it.
Drinks were on point.

What a let down! I am super disappointed with this bar.

Was in NOLA on a business trip and had seen this bar everywhere. Was so excited to go and the visual was as expected. Beautiful inside and out. Gorgeous walkway and ambiance inside. Just lovely.

The let down was with the service. Walked and stood around until finally someone said we could sit at the bar. Once seated bartender 1 a lady was miserable. Tried asking her a few questions on what was good and I have never been so dismissed. Bartender 2 came up to service and he was just as bad. Would ask what was good what wasn't and again dismissed as if I had done soemthing to him. Then these 2 went on to talk trash abt another customer in front of us again as if i didn't exist. This is the worst service, I couldn't drink my drink fast enough and get the hell out of there. Just awful ! next time in town definitely won't be going there or recommend and anyone to go there. Because it looks like those 2 bartenders are perm employees by the other photos posted. And to top it all off I was charged 2x doubling the drink and the tip that I wish I hadn't left. Have tried to get a hold of someone for almost a month now and nothing.

Do better!

This place is a whole vibe!

We luckily snagged a table at the last minute bc we walked in and another table chose to get up and leave their reservation. We were walking out and the hostess/manager both chased us down and said they'd be happy to seat us as a table for two just opened up. Yay!

Service was excellent, we snuck in a food order 5 minutes before the kitchen stopped serving it, and the mocktails were delish!

The inside is moody and red and beautiful. No details overlooked - looks like a vintage library/office/speakeasy. Candles everywhere, cool lighting fixtures and art, love love love.

The food menu was a bit lacking for anyone trying to eat "healthy" or light on red meat. Think burgers, bone marrow, etc.

We chose the fry bread with honey butter - SOOOO good. Must get. Scallops and a burger.

The scallops were $28 and you only got three tiny tiny scallops. Not worth the price and I was still hungry. Burger was $20 and didn't come with a side. We left hungry but we loved the vibes and the drinks and everyone was very nice.

Not sure I'd go again for food - but def. for light bites and drinks it's a must see!

Very pleasant and attentive staff! Only thing i wish is that they knew a bit more about the drinks. (4/5)

Ambiance was amazing (5/5)

Cocktails were pretty good.

Now called Bar Metier. Great vibe, extensive cocktail menu. Liked the idea of the hidden entrance.

Cocktails were well crafted. Unique bar bites menu, really enjoyed the fried frog legs! Huge caveat that threw off our experience was being force to sit at the tiniest table off to the side while the rest of the lounge area was wide open.

French-style bar in a former library, mixing up creative cocktails accompanied by small plates. It's a spirited new sanctuary in the Warehouse District of New Orleans.

Tucked secretively along the side of the new Maison de la Luz hotel, is the most striking library you've ever seen, with scarlet bookshelves, orange ceilings, and tiger-striped carpets.

Cocktails are esoteric but a great value, with some as low as $6. You can try everything from fresh frozen concoctions to the rich specialities that celebrate European flavors such as St-Germain, Dubonnet Campari, and Calvados. The seductive wine list is mainly French; the beer list is American but interesting and not overrun with IPAs.

The bar menu is also unapologetically Continental. Choose from the tapas-like anchovies or the gougeres aux epoisses, which are basically fancy cheese puffs.

Loved this little cocktail spot in New Orleans! The ambiance is so cute and they had a live jazz band too!

We all ordered cocktails and had little plates to share. Everything was so delicious!

Highly recommend making reservations as it gets busy!

Pro tip: the entrance is tucked away down the aisle-way to the left hand side of Maison de la Luz.
