Rooftop hotspot at Hot Tin bar in Pontchartrain Hotel in New Orleans
Hot Tin Rooftop bar in the Pontchartrain Hotel, located at 2031 St. Charles Ave. in New Orleans, was featured on Garden & Gun’s top seven picks for rooftop hotspots.
Atop the Pontchartrain Hotel, Hot Tin is known for its craft cocktails and its chic, 1940s artist-inspired atmosphere. The space features both inside and outside areas, and entry is first-come-first-served. The rooftop bar opens daily at 2 p.m., and all guests must be 21 years of age or older to enter.
The space was once a penthouse, however, today it has been converted into a rooftop bar with a 270-degree view of Downtown New Orleans and the Mississippi River. Here, guests can lounge on couches or browse the wall of unique knick-knacks.
