Carousel Piano Bar & Lounge, Revolving lounge bar in French Quarter, New Orleans, United States
The Carousel Bar features a circular counter with 25 seats that completes one full rotation every 15 minutes, powered by steel rollers and a motor.
The establishment opened in 1949 within Hotel Monteleone and gained recognition through visits from authors Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, and Tennessee Williams.
The bar maintains its position in New Orleans social life by offering nightly live jazz performances and serving locally inspired cocktails like the Vieux Carré.
Visitors can access the Carousel Bar daily from 11:00 AM until midnight, with entertainment occurring Thursday through Saturday in the adjacent lounge area.
The ceiling above the rotating bar contains fiber optic lights that create a night sky effect, with one programmed light moving across as a falling star.
