NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — It's making a big splash.

Of course it would have to be in the Big Easy as WGNO Good Morning New Orleans features reporter Bill Wood wants to tell you.

It's the city's first swim up bar at the Garden District Hotel on Prytania.

It's for hotel guests and guests for the day as well.

Good to the last drop, there's no need to worry about the weather. The pool heats up like a hot tub. So it's open all year.

"In a city hot like New Orleans, it's hard to believe that it took this long for a place like this to open. I'm so happy it's here," said Shirley Sonesh.

Only in New Orleans, bartenders learn to shake, stir and backstroke because every hour is happy.

And like a cruise ship coming home, you're invited to float on up to the bar.
