I'm looking for a place to host a cocktail party this summer in the French Quarter. Ideally, I would start off with a tab, say $1,000-$2,000 and it would be a cash bar thereafter. Probably 100 people or so. Extra points given for scenery or view - not looking for the upstairs of Razoo's.

My first idea was the pool deck at Monteleone, but the minimum is $10k.

The Chicory would be good...but pricey.

Have you looked into Jax?

For a wedding party or just a basic party?

$2,000 can go very quickly for 100 or so people.

Try and rent out the courtyard at Cafe Amelie.

Most of the good places require a minimum amount of spend.

Napoleon House has some good deals starting at 25 bucks a person.

I hate to burst your bubble, but no bar in the Quarter is going to do a private party at $10 bucks a head. At least not shutting down the place and making it a true private party.

You could try the upstairs room and balcony overlooking Jackson Square at Muriel's, but not for that price for 100 people, I don't believe.

Are you planning to provide one drink per person, no food and a cash bar thereafter? I'm not sure I understand the conception of hosting and then having the guests pay.

I've been to the Riverview room and I think, if it's an off night for them, it may fit your bill. May need a few more bills though.

A court yard in New Orleans in the summer is going to be pretty hot especially if this is early evening.

How early is your rehearsal dinner?

Am I understanding that only the folks who didn't attend the rehearsal dinner will attend this cocktail hour, but you will be there also?
