Sazerac House

At the corner of Canal and Magazine Streets in New Orleans, just steps from the original 1850s Sazerac Coffeehouse, stands The Sazerac House — an immersive visitor experience celebrating nearly 175 years of cocktail history. Part brand home, part cultural attraction, the Sazerac House invites guests to explore the spirited culture of New Orleans through stories of its signature cocktail and the global portfolio of the Sazerac Company.

Strategy and Scope

When Sazerac Company envisioned a destination that would merge heritage, hospitality, and technology, they turned to Solomon Group as both fabrication partner and AV integrator. From historic preservation to digital storytelling, our producer-led model ensured the project balanced craftsmanship with cutting-edge interactivity.

Craftsmanship Meets Technology

  • Immersive Storytelling: The experience highlights both the Sazerac cocktail and the company’s broader portfolio, weaving brand storytelling into the fabric of New Orleans’ cultural identity
  • Exhibit Fabrication: Solomon Group’s artisan millworkers created extensive custom cabinetry and cases from quartersawn white oak, honoring whiskey’s reliance on oak aging while echoing the architectural history of the building
