Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Des Allemands

"If you’re off to a slower start or you’re in New Orleans for the weekend, Brunch at Commander’s Palace is unmissable. Located in the Garden District among the houses and mansions of the first Americans who settled the city in the early 19th century, the upper floors of the restaurant offers some clues to its life before it was a world-famous, James Beard award-winning eatery. (Reservations highly recommended!)"

"Commander’s Palace is a dapper host who wows with white-linen dining rooms, decadent dishes and attentive Southern hospitality. The nouveau Creole menu shifts, running from crispy oysters with brie-cauliflower... Louisianan in Mid-City, Bayou St John & City Park"

"Parkway has been around for over a century, since 1911 to be exact. Legend has it that the name poor boy, also referred to as po’ boy, comes from the Great Depression era when a sandwich was created to be given free of charge to transit strikers. Folks have been clamoring for Parkway’s poor boys ever since."

"This Bayou St. John po' boy staple is a favorite among locals and tourists in the know. The fried shrimp is a classic, but it's the Thanksgiving po' boy that has locals lining up around the block on Wednesdays in November. Bonus: An excellent Reuben and gumbo."

"A caprese po-boy includes tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Reservations accepted for large parties. Lunch and dinner Wed.-Mon."

"Service was great.The wait was long, as the location was very popular.My friend and I got two of their signature dishes according to the menu, the Sweet ..."

"Opened by chef Mike Stoltzfus and his wife Lillian Hubbard in December 2008, Coquette is a Garden District stunner, from its gleaming floors and crisp linens to its architectural details and warm exposed brick walls. Chef Stoltzfus proffers innovative southern cuisine with an emphasis on locally sourced product and pastry chef Zak Miller does the same, with an emphasis on unexpected twists that elevate dessert into something ethereal. He uses seasonal fruit, fresh herbs and surprising flavors like smoke and heat to bring something special to the table."

"If you haven't tried our grill tables and authentic Japanese cuisine, now is the time: bit.ly/gkreservation #GyuKakuMiami. In Japanese, Gyu-Kaku means, “Horn of the Bull.” In New Orleans, it is one of the leading Japanese restaurants providing authentic Japanese yakiniku experience to all kinds of diners. Visiting this restaurant will give you a chance to enjoy premium cooked meats that are grilled in flaming charcoal grills right in front of your eyes."

"Gyu-Kaku will make a chef out of you by the end of your visit. This unconventional eatery allows guests to cook their meal themselves. Have fun creating Japanese + Korean BBQ classics like spicy pork, kalbi short ribs, harami skirt steak miso and much more."

"500 St. Peter St., (504) 522-2999; www.corneroysterhousefrenchquarter.com. Char-broiled oysters are topped with Parmesan and herbs and served with French bread. Reservations accepted."

"An interesting new addition to the historic Orpheum Theater — an underground speakeasy — opens under the iconic performance venue in the Central Business District. The Double Dealer, a basement-level bar and lounge, hopes to add a new element to the New Orleans bar scene by tapping into prohibition-era history. Accessed through an unmarked side entrance of the Orpheum, opposite the Roosevelt Hotel, this spot is sure to add a bit of mystery to your evening."

"Double Dealer gives a nod to the Prohibition era, with a secluded entrance down a long ramp towards the bar. It’s situated underneath the Orpheum Theatre, a centuries-old space that has featured Vaudeville acts, concerts and numerous theatrical productions. The bar’s theatrical aesthetics pay homage to the theatre above, as well as featuring luxurious booths with speakeasy vibes and private corner spaces away from the crowd."

"We hope you’ll be able to curb your caffeine craving now that you know the best coffee shops in New Orleans. Stop by one of these local shops today!"

"Rosie’s on the Roof is the casual restaurant and Irish bar atop the new Higgins Hotel, which opened on the National WWII Museum’s campus in the Warehouse District in 2019. NOLA hospitality vet Marc Becker opened Rosie’s last year in the midst of the pandemic, offering top-notch views of the city and a menu of classic bar food, perhaps with the exception of the not-so-classic crab beignets. In an exciting development, the bar just started hosting live music on the rooftop; follow on Facebook for updates."

"The newly built Higgins Hotel New Orleans, located by the National WWII Museum in the Warehouse District, has a sprawling rooftop bar and lounge dubbed Rosie’s on the Roof. In addition to sweeping views of the New Orleans skyline, the boîte offers all the beer, wine and cocktails you can imagine (the martinis are especially delicious), plus small plates, shareable plates and desserts. Choose from options like the jerk-marinated chicken taco, duck confit grilled cheese or red fish and chips."

"Rosie’s on the Roof is the casual restaurant and bar atop the Higgins Hotel, with sweeping views of the New Orleans skyline. The spot offers outside deck seating, with penthouse-style views out over the city skyline and of the new Canopy of Peace at the adjacent National WWII Museum. Seating is on a “First come, first served” basis during operating hours, according to the website."

"Peacock Room is the restaurant in the new Kimpton Hotel Fontenot downtown, the the restaurant snagged Chris Lusk, a longtime New Orleans chef who has cooked at Restaurant R’evolution, Cafe Adelaide, and the Caribbean Room, for a menu of dishes like fruits de mer pho made with cashew hoisin, grouper, shrimp ramen, and crab boulettes; chicken and eggplant fricasse with tomato and toasted farro; and black lentil vadouvan curry. The cocktail program is also a standout, curated with hard-to-come-by spirits and cocktails like the Primp and Preen, made with mezcal, white rum, orgeat, fresh citrus and blue curaçao; a Ruby Bridges made with gin, Cynar, citrus, strawberry, and basil; and the Sackcloth and Ashes, with Toki Japanese whisky and Amaro Montenegro (and mysteriously, “umami”)."

"The elegant restaurant in the new Kimpton Hotel Fontenot downtown has a killer cocktail program, thanks to Paula Echevarria, a longtime NOLA cocktail creator and writer. The beautiful bar is curated with hard-to-come-by spirits and serves cocktails like the Primp and Preen, made with mezcal, white rum, orgeat, fresh citrus and blue curaçao; a Ruby Bridges made with gin, Cynar, citrus, strawberry, and basil; and the Sackcloth and Ashes, with Toki Japanese whisky and Amaro Montenegro (and intriguingly, “umami”). Helpfully, each specialty cocktail includes a few adjectives to help anticipate the flavors of the drink."

"Chef Chris Lusk is killing it at the sexy new Peacock Room lounge in the newly opened Kimpton Hotel Fontenot in the CBD. His goal was to cook food that he’d want to eat after some time drinking at a bar — and that mission is accomplished in spades. Add his haute burger to the fancy chef-driven winners in town, an ample house-ground patty topped with bacon, Boursin cheese, crispy shallots, and tomato jam on a brioche bun."

"Specials abound at this no-frills Mid City institution, open for early morning breakfast and lunch, and geared toward regulars, not really tourists. This is where former mayor C Ray Nagin brought former president Bush in August 2009, but don’t hold that against the restaurant. A plate of eggs/bacon/grits/pancakes makes for a cheap meal, but don't overlook the myriad daily specials."

"At this Canal Street staple, try the buckwheat pancakes — they’re gluten free, yes, but the health quotient drops significantly (and thus the delicious quotient ascends) with the addition of bananas, pecans, whipped cream, and a whole lot of butter."

"Betsy's is a great breakfast spot for Mid-City denizens looking for the close-knit camaraderie of the romanticized golden age of neighborhood…"

"If your picnic plans bring you to fabulous City Park, this local cafe is an excellent place to grab some takeout. It’s only a hop, skip, and a jump away and offers various delicious sandwiches, paninis, po-boys, salads, and more. Plus, if you plan to bring your pup along with you to the park, there’s a pet-friendly patio where you can sit while you wait for your order."
