Outstanding Bar Program

A True New Orleans Cocktail Bar

History

The French 75 was originally a “gentlemen only area.” When the Casbarians renovated and Arnaud’s reopened in March 1979, the space debuted as The Grill Bar. In 2003, it was reincarnated as the French 75 Bar with emphasis on premium spirits, classic cocktails and fine cigars. The bar  was custom-built in the late 1800s, both it and the bar-back are vintage.
