    The drinks here are among the best in the city, & show how to build on a classic,” says Wayne Curtis. Bartender Chris Hannah is a “gentleman & a true master of the form” according to Jordana Rothman. Read more

    A bartender saw us languishing in the crowded bar and took us through the dining room into an unmarked cocktail bar called Richelieu. Do that.

    Legit cocktail bar. Order a Sazerac or just ask the bartenders as they know what they're doing when it comes to drinks. If Chris Hannah is working be sure to get his bar / food recommendations.

    This is the type of bar that you just let the bartender make whatever he feels like for you. There's a small museum upstairs that showcases how rich and elegant the Arnaud's family was.

    This is a fancy cocktail bar!! Not stuffy tho so rest easy. You must get a Sazerac and a French 75. Grab a cigar and smoke inside.

    Inside this 95-year-old space, Chris Hannah mixes a French 75 made with Cognac instead of gin, as well as concoctions like the fiery Caipa De Gallos. Read more

    Have Chris make you a drink. Enjoy the atmosphere. Its a cigar bar but even if you hate smoke you have to go in and at least get one drink.

    The bar is connected to Arnaud's Restaurant and is the best place to go to start you visit to the city. Start with some cocktails & souffléd potatoes.

    Get one Sazerac w rye (the popular but later version) & one with cognac (this is the original)--compare. Sunday hours are bar menu til 10pm, drinks to 11:30pm-ish.

    Go before 6pm and get a seat at the bar while everyone else is being seated in the dining room—and don’t forget the cognac.

    The French 75 is pricey, but worth it. Ask if you can see the upstairs rooms with Mardi Gras gowns of years past.

    Such a classic place. Came one day in jeans and another day in full dress with a wedding party including a bride in her dress and a groom in his kilt. Received the great same service both nights.

    Have the eponymous drink (it's delicious) and then if it's not too busy, have Vince make you something off-menu.

    Get the French 75, they make it the real French way with cognac, not gin. It's delicious.

    Little touristy for what it is, but decent cocktails. Might as well make it a French 75!

    A drink from a place where the bartender uses his bare hands to pick and serve ice and filter the yolk from eggs? No thanks.
