Overview

Let the good times roll as you discover the Big Easy’s vibrant drinking culture on the original cocktail walking tour of New Orleans. New Orleans has long been a muse with an unquenchable taste for revelry, muddling sophistication and fancy in equal parts. It’s no wonder the cocktail scene began in early 1850 to be exact. Drink in her rich history as you explore the French Quarter, where the hour is always happy. Try 3 different cocktails on your tour, one of them being the Sazerac, which was invented in New Orleans and is one of the city’s most iconic libations.

Meeting points

Gray Line Lighthouse on the Steamboat NATCHEZ dock (Toulouse Street at the Mississippi River)

Itinerary

French Quarter

Embark on your exploration of New Orleans’ cocktail culture from the Gray Line Lighthouse Ticket Office, right on the Mississippi River in the city’s French Quarter. Your group of like-minded 21-and-up revelers will travel the neighborhood’s historic streets, ducking in and out of watering holes and restaurants in buildings that still stand as beautiful examples of French and Spanish Colonial Architecture. While it’s easy to get lost in the history of your surroundings, the real stars of the tour are the cocktails. Listen in as your guides reveal the stories behind each inventive libation and the characters that brought them to life. Learn the story of the Sazerac, which dates back to 1850.

2 hours 30 minutes
N/A

Enter the Court of Two Sisters’ Carriageway Bar through the charm gates, wrought in Spain and blessed by Queen Isabella. Now a restaurant world-famous for its jazz brunch and courtyard canopied by a 130-year-old wisteria vine, the block has maintained a lively history since 1726.
St. Louis Cathedral

At the intersection of two cobblestone alleys in the shadows of the St. Louis Cathedral, is a legendary pirate hangout. There you’ll meet the “green fairy” known as Absinthe, the mystical herbal elixir that induced intoxicating creativity in many authors, artists, poets, and musicians.
Peychaud's

Relax in the former residence of Antoine Peychaud, the Creole apothecary who prescribed and dispensed his patented herbal Peychaud’s Bitters, which would later become the key ingredient in the Sazerac, America’s first cocktail and the official cocktail of New Orleans.
Fritzel's European Jazz Bar

There’s nothing like soul-stirring jazz to raise your spirits. Your tour ends on a high note at Fritzel's, not your typical dive bar. This jazz pub features the who’s who of New Orleans jazz, drawing jazz aficionados from around the world. You're welcome to stay for the show, then walk to dinner at one of many fine French Quarter restaurants nearby.

Great history lesson!

Published on Dec, 2024

From the description the tour sounds like an opportunity for two hours of drunken indulgence. In reality it is a fascinating and engaging look at New Orleans history and the French Quarter. The drinks were fine but we learned so much! I would recommend the tour especially for those new to the city. It's a good way to figure out what to see during your stay.

A fun learning experience

Published on Nov, 2024

Robi was a terrific guide and we had a blast! We learned a ton about NOLA and drank good cocktails. Excellent way to spend a couple of hours.

The evolution of New Orleans craft cocktails - fascinating!

Published on Oct, 2024

It was a fascinating tour! Robi, our guide, was a fascinating narrator of historical detail about the neighborhoods and background of all the places we visited, as well as the origins of the drinks we tried and the alcohols and other flavorings they used. Loved it!

Fantastic!

Published on Oct, 2024

Robi is a wealth of knowledge! He took us to a few locations we had never been to before (7th trip to NOLA) and shared amazing stories about the various cocktails native to New Orleans.

Lots of fun

Published on Sep, 2024

Robert entertaining and knowledgeable. A pleasure to be with. The options of cocktails were awesome. Would definitely do again, this was our second time doing the tour.
