No, it’s not you. The bar is spinning. The Hotel Monteleone’s circular bartop was built on the chassis of an antique merry-go-round in 1949, and patrons make a full circuit every 15 minutes. (Just be thankful the stools don’t go up and down.) Sitting just off the 1907 hotel’s lobby, the Carousel Bar claims a long literary heritage: William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams and Truman Capote all got into their cups here at one point or another.
