A bit of recent history about the Original Carousel Bar
-edit from the New Orleans Bar Scene Magazine-
The seats on the lazily spinning Carousel Bar in the Hotel Monteleone are some of the most treasured in New Orleans. Whether hopping on the stool featuring a painted elephant, lion, tiger, monkey or zebra on its backside, patrons know they have entered a wild, and revered, kingdom. An enchanting, fun filled night surely awaits.
Popular senior bartender Marvin Allen can mix with the best of them, including his signature Vieux Carre cocktail. Amid the angelic glow highlighted by surrounding mirrors, Allen plies his trade in a bar built in 1949 that has welcomed numerous celebrities, including the great Tennessee Williams of which a book club, and events for celebrities and a host of writers, are featured in the hotel.
The Carousel Bar underwent a major renovation several years ago. The dark, intimate rear of the bar was opened up to provide more seating, along with views of the French Quarter neighborhood in which it sits. A second bar was added as well. What the bar has lost in intimacy, it has gained in customers and music lovers, who enjoy the range of local music combos performing on the far back stage area.
Mixologist Allen not only dispenses adult beverages; he offers advice for surviving bachelor party debauchery without brushes with the law or worse. He is known for his acrobatic exit from the bar's doughnut-shaped workspace
