It’s just across Canal Street from the French Quarter, in a refined high-end hotel environment that shows New Orleans at its best. Overall, I think that the Sazerac Bar is worth a stop when in New Orleans if you’re interested in trying a classic cocktail that is basically the official cocktail of the city. 190 West - Slidell, Louisiana 700 Club Big Daddys Bourbon Pub & Parade. Any of them would be fine to try as an introduction to the cocktail culture of New Orleans. 3229 North Causeway - Metairie, Louisiana 504.832. Even if a Sazerac isn’t to your taste, they have plenty of other classic cocktails on the menu, in addition to some decent wine options by the glass. It also helped that we found the drinks themselves to be absolutely excellent this time, and I really look forward to trying more Sazeracs in the future, both here and elsewhere. Since it was so crowded, that’s exactly what we did this time, getting drinks from one of the very efficient bartenders once we could get their attention, and then finding a quieter spot to sit in the lobby. The bar is fine, but the lobby is gorgeous, and taking the Sazerac to drink in that setting elevates the experience.

Since then Kajun’s Pub has become a haven for New Orleans locals, a shelter for neighbors. She designed and built the bar from the bottom up, and opened for business in December of 2004. The bar is located in the very lovely and historic Roosevelt Hotel (a Waldorf Astoria property), which itself is an attraction. Kajun’s Pub was founded by Joann Guidos, a woman with a dream and the construction skills to make it happen. Even though the bar was an incredibly crowded madhouse this time when we visited on a Friday night, with no space to move and no seats available, we still enjoyed the visit and loved the Sazeracs. However, our palate for cocktails has changed a bit in the past couple years, so we came back to give the Sazeracs a fair chance now that we like a more spirit-forward drink.
I think our main problem at the time was that we really hadn’t considered if we liked the components of a Sazerac, so the drink was too boozy and just not to our taste. My wife and I had stopped at the Sazerac Bar for drinks a couple years ago when we were in New Orleans for the first time, and we really weren’t all that impressed with it on that visit.
