Tips from the community

The NOPSI’s dynamic rooftop pool and bar, Above the Grid, is a nod to the building’s rich history being constructed in 1927 as the headquarters of New Orleans’ electric utility provider. Now a historic landmark, the hotel’s outdoor venue offers a year-round escape for hotel guests, visitors and locals alike with live music and sweeping views of the city’s skyline.

The NOPSI hotel has an expansive open air setting on the 13th floor of their hotel called Above the Grid. This quintessential New Orleans rooftop bar is the perfect spot for happy hour or afternoon drink as it is open from 1-8pm each day to the public. They have lounge chairs across the rooftop, private cabanas, and a relaxed vibe that anyone can enjoy.

Above The Grid Guides

  • Our Favorite Bars in the French Quarter (New Orleans)

    seeker (Seeker Editors)
    We've walked the French Quarter end to end (and then end to end...again!) in search of the best bars. Here are our top 10!
  • Wanderfest Bar Crawl

    seeker (Seeker Editors)
    Join us on March 12, 2022 from 8-11pm as we take you on a taste of the Big Easy. We’ll start our stepping near the French Quarter. The more places we hit, the more lit it’s gonna get. But you’ll be going at your own pace–so follow this list and look for the Seeker rep at each spot. For every bar you check-into on Seeker, you'll score a free lagniappe, or "a little extra" in Cajun-French. We've worked with some of Nola's best mixologists to create an experience you won't forget.
  • The 8 Best Rooftop Bars in New Orleans

    kaylee (Kaylee Giacomini)
    New Orleans has a sprawling city skyline with rich architecture ranging from the French baroque stylings of the Quarter to skyscrapers in the Central Business District. The best way to see it all: from a bird's eye view. There is no better way to get above the bustling city than to lounge at a rooftop bar all afternoon (most of which have pools open during the summer months). I’ve been to quite a few rooftop bars since moving to New Orleans, and certainly have my favorites.
