During a recent trip to New Orleans, I was invited to experience the fabulous
Hot Tin at
The Pontchartrain Hotel. I said yes faster than you can say, "Tennessee Williams wrote
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof while he lived in New Orleans!" I'm always a fan of a rooftop bar, and Hot Tin does not disappoint. Read on to find out more about this can't-miss spot in NOLA!
Inspired by a 1940s artist loft, Hot Tin holds curiosities around every corner. You never know what you may find next to you! I especially loved finding unique paintings, board games, and typewriters throughout the space.

I could have spent hours poring through all of the unique curiosities found around Hot Tin.
|
|
I'm a sucker for old typewriters, and I loved finding this old Royal one.
|
But here's what I'm really here to talk about ... the cocktails. Wow, is it worth going to Hot Tin for one of these! They're $14 each, and truly spectacular. My mom and I pored over the menu and had quite a difficult time choosing because every single one sounded utterly divine!
|
So many delicious cocktails to choose from!
|
We finally settled on:
The Burn Book
Gentilly barrel aged gin, passion fruit, chareau, lime, housemade orgeat
Back to Black
Cathead honeysuckle vodka, vermouth, blackberry, lavender, lemon, egg white
|
The cocktails at Hot Tin are as beautiful as they are delicious!

Each cocktail was perfectly made and perfectly delicious — we definitely savored every sip!

I also loved the beautiful turquoise floral design on the Back to Black, which was such a gorgeous touch.

And, since we all know you come to a rooftop bar for the views ... well, of course they don't disappoint! The bar offers a seriously stunning 270-degree view of Downtown New Orleans and the Mississippi River. While there are plenty of seats inside, going out onto the balcony is certainly not to be missed!

If you're in New Orleans and need a fun bar with excellent cocktails, Hot Tin should absolutely be on your list. The bar opens at 2pm every day and is first come, first served. We went on a Friday night and it was PACKED (shout out to Hot Tin for reserving a table for us with the most fun, throne-like chairs we'd ever seen!). I'd recommend going early for the best seat — and the best view, of course!
