- Pam B.December 31, 2013A bartender saw us languishing in the crowded bar and took us through the dining room into an unmarked cocktail bar called Richelieu. Do that.
- Adrian PhillipsMay 14, 2015Legit 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.
- Tim HettlerFebruary 21, 2014This 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.
- DenetteSeptember 28, 2015This 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.
