Word on the street
What locals are saying
The Peacock — formerly The Habit — landed in the French Quarter in 2023 with serious ambitions: 12,000 square feet of 1920s Art Deco across three floors, a rooftop terrace with harbor views, a second-floor entertainment lounge, and V's, a tucked-away speakeasy-style room with its own DJ nights and themed parties. The setup genuinely delivers on atmosphere — regulars cite 'Great Gatsby vibes' and come back for the $7 Tuesday burger special, the Ain't Misbehavin' dirty martini with blue cheese-stuffed olives, and the harbor sunset as reliably as they come for the live music lineup. The kitchen runs late (1:30 a.m. on weekends), which earns goodwill on a peninsula that doesn't always feed you after midnight.
