“Welcome to Copper Vine.

Since opening in 2018, Copper Vine has honored over a century of history while building something entirely its own.  With a newly opened Inn, upstairs private dining & event spaces, a restored 132-year-old bar, and a curated food & beverage program spanning Brunch, Happy Hour, and dinner service, Copper Vine brings together every element of hospitality to its high-volume restaurant and luxurious Inn in the heart of downtown, New Orleans.

If you're passionate about hospitality, inspired by a thoughtful culinary program, and energized by the opportunity to continue to grow something special, we'd love to meet you.”
