Carousel Piano Bar & Lounge

The bar is inside the Hotel Monteleone and overlooks Royal Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

Installed in 1949, the 25-seat circular bar turns on 2,000 large steel rollers, powered by a 1⁄4 hp (190 W) motor.

In addition to the rotating bar, an adjoining room includes booths and tables with live entertainment offered nightly.
