The Sazerac Bar at the Roosevelt is indeed a great bar. And the chef John Besh restaurant there, Dominica, is a top notch Italian place. Recommended.
Wife and I visited that bar less than 48 hrs after the collapse. (We traveled from Detroit, attending a charity even at The Orpheum, next door..) Many streets in the area were closed off because of the accident,
We enjoyed one of their signature drinks, and the company of my boyhood hero, Sid Noel, aka Morgus the Magnificent.
Memorable weekend!
