Bartenders and spirits professionals are celebrated in New Orleans for the Cocktail Festival.
The world’s premier cocktail festival happens right here in New Orleans July 15-19, 2015 and features a “spirited” array of activities for the professional mixologist as well as the enthusiastic imbiber. Most of the events take place in hotels in the French Quarter, a quick streetcar ride from our Garden District Bed and Breakfast. Some of the spectacular events include “Spirited Lunches and Dinners” which pair cocktails with meal courses, A Royal High Tea – Prohibition Style, cocktail tours, a Texas Tiki Throwdown, aWorld Cup Cocktail event, a Taming the Hurricane competition and many many more.
The Sazerac started it all!

Book early because we fill up fast. We’ve got a great summer deal for weeknight rates; mention Tales of the Cocktail when you book four or more nights and we’ll extend it through the weekend!
