Here’s what one visitor says about Hot Tin. “The Best Rooftop in New Orleans! (I’ve only been to this one so…) I visited here mid July after an evening of celebrating my anniversary. I stopped by earlier in the day to checkout the place, valet parking available (I parked on the street both times). I take the elevator up to the roof and it was ambient enough even at 1pm ish.”

Monkey Board

1111 Gravier St, New Orleans, LA 70112 | (504) 518-5600

Here’s what one customer says about Monkey Board. “Dope rooftop. Smoked wings was AMAZING! Views were awesome. Cool staff great vibe!”

Rosie’s On The Roof

Inside the Hilton: 1000 Magazine Street, New Orleans, Louisiana, 70130

Here’s what one visitor says about Rosie’s. “Rosie’s on the Roof is such a fun addition to the Higgins Hotel! The theming is unique and transports you back in time. Their menu offers drinks plus some bites!”

Mambo’s

411 Bourbon St. New Orleans, LA 70130

Here’s what one customer says about Mambo’s. “One of those restaurants that several people recommended we go. It did not disappoint at all. Great Cajun and creole food. The gumbo was amazing! The gator bites were great. Had a good time hanging up in the balcony having drinks and looking at the people walk by. Great spot.”

Vue

1600 Canal Street, New Orleans, Louisiana, 70112

Here’s what one customer says about Vue. “After checking around, I heard this was the best rooftop in New Orleans. So I gave it a try. Definitely a great experience and very cheap happy hour drink specials.”

Alto

600 Carondelet St, New Orleans, Louisiana

Here’s what one reviewer says about Alto. “The Alto rooftop…let’s dive into it. Bartenders were awesome and those $8 Mai Tai were spot on with flavor and strong. Rooftop scene is legit, soft music and heated.”

Final Word

Rooftop bars aside, New Orleans has some of the best dining spots in the nation.

When New Orleans’ food is mentioned on a national level, it somehow always reverts back to gumbo, which is the best around, although the city’s eateries certainly represent those dishes well, there’s so much more.
