Editorial Review for Columns Hotel – by Chad Kirtland
In Short
The Columns' grand structure--it's on the National Register of Historic Places--is divided by hallways and ballrooms and punctuated by shadowy anterooms stuffed with comfy antique furniture. The spacious front porch is an ideal spot for viewing the goings-on of stately St. Charles Avenue while sipping a signature bloody mary. Albertine's Tea Room serves New Orleans-style brunch is available for private parties. The Columns also has 20 affordable rooms for those who don't want to leave the tranquil setting.

Great place for having a mixed drink outside. Weekends should be avoided because they often have weddings. They also very much need to revamp their wine list, it's horrible! Drink prices are also a bit steep. Would be great if they could add some bar snacks. It's definitely a fun place to stop by for an after work drink.
Pros: Nice view
Cons: bad wine

One of the best bars in town. A local favorite. The porch is perfect for sipping Mint Juleps and Mojitos in the warmer months (April – October sometimes including Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, or March), while the bar is excellent for cuddling up to a nice, warm glass of your favorite brown liquor. This bar is not known for being a beer or wine bar but tries to accommodate all customers. Terrific atmosphere and plenty of dimly lit corners for more intimate settings. The Columns is usually complemented with excellent bar staff (ask for “Big Mike”). The hotel also serves a mean Sunday brunch. Highly recommended.
Pros: Great place to meet friends after work or before a night out on the town. Good brunch.
Cons: The drink service can be limited on the porch durring the busier hours.
