Why Fans Keep This Place in the Mix

The Columns Hotel Bar in New Orleans sits inside a destination with celeb-linked mentions and strong event density. We connect this place to nearby game, show, and concert opportunities for fan weekend planning.

The Columns Hotel's Victorian porch bar on St. Charles Avenue is New Orleans' most atmospheric pre-game ritual for Saints fans and Jazz Fest visitors — a magnificent 1883 Victorian mansion where rocking chairs on the wraparound porch, cold Abita beers, and the passing streetcar create one of America's most civilized sports fan experiences. Visitors consistently describe the porch on a warm Sunday afternoon before a Saints game as capturing everything great about New Orleans in a single scene. The ornate interior bar hosts live jazz on weekend evenings.
