Peacock Room New Orleans Review

We visited Peacock Room inside the Kimpton Hotel Fontenot in New Orleans. The lounge paired dramatic design with cocktails, shareable plates and live music in a setting that felt polished without being overly formal.

Peacock Room Atmosphere

The interior leaned fully into its name, with gold accents, detailed flooring and peacock-inspired art. It was a visually distinctive room and felt better suited to an evening drink or date night than a quick stop between sightseeing plans.

Cocktails and Mocktails

We tried a Hurricane and a nonalcoholic drink. Both were carefully presented, and the mocktail received the same attention as the cocktail rather than feeling like an afterthought.

Drink menus and prices change, so check the current menu if a specific cocktail or nonalcoholic option matters to your visit.

Food and Live Music

The menu emphasized shareable plates. The dishes we tried were attractively presented and worked well alongside the drinks rather than as a large, traditional dinner.

During our visit, Da Lovebirds, featuring Robin Barnes and Pat Casey, performed an intimate R&B set. The music fit the room and gave the evening more of a lounge experience than a standard hotel bar visit.

Is Peacock Room Worth Visiting?

Peacock Room is a strong option for people looking for a stylish New Orleans lounge with cocktails, small plates and an atmospheric setting. The design is a major part of the experience, so it is worth allowing time to sit and enjoy the room rather than treating it as a rushed stop.
