Though I've been to Hot Tin before, it has not been showcased on N.O. Musing, and with views like those available from the rooftop patio, it deserves a spot. Unfortunately, with on a pleasant evening, a lot of other people were also drawn to the bar on top of the Pontchartrain Hotel.
                                    
The interior is charming, too. Its décor is in a 1940's style--dark wood, large bookshelf, small tables and a few sofas. It is like stepping into a gentlemen's study of that era.
                                                          
I like to try creative cocktails when they are available, and the Hot Tin did not disappoint. I tried two drinks. My first was called a Hibbity Dibbity, made from bourbon, blueberry hibiscus tea, lemon and ginger. It was sweet, a little tangy, and had a surprising orange-gold color (I thought it would be more blue).
                                                          
I chose my second cocktail for its clever name: Don't Build Me a Wall, Nut. I don't remember all of the ingredients, but I really liked the walnut liqueur.

Do I recommend the Hot Tin? Absolutely, especially if a place is available on the patio!
