The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel will host the annual Stormin' of the Sazerac on Friday, September 26, 2025 in the Blue Room. This one-of-a-kind celebration pays tribute to the empowered group of women who stormed the Sazerac Bar in 1949 demanding equality and a stiff drink. This event broke a 100-year-old tradition as previously, women were only allowed in the bar on Mardi Gras Day. Stormin' of the Sazerac encompasses libations, cuisine and entertainment, including:
- A ladies-only three course luncheon
- Complimentary welcome beverage
- Cash bar
- Live entertainment
- Juried best-dressed competition
Following the Blue Room festivities, our Reigning Spirit of the Sazerac will lead attendees in a second line to “storm” the world-renowned Sazerac Bar, where the spirited day continues with Sazerac cocktails in-hand.
Ladies are invited to dress in post-war New Orleans style, such as hats, veils, peep-toe shoes and gloves. Doors to the world famous Blue Room open at 12:45pm, and the celebration begins with the traditional ladies lunch at 1:00pm. Live entertainment will be provided, and the event will feature a fashion show showcasing vintage styles with a best-dressed competition.
Tickets to Stormin' of the Sazerac are pre-paid at time of purchase and are non-refundable. Guests must be 21 years of age or greater. Communal Seating.
