Nestled behind the lush courtyard is the fabled and previously hidden gem of Brennan’s - the Wine Cellar and its newly adjacent sumptuous private dining room. Originally the stable of the 1795 historic building, today’s cellar is a cave of exclusivity, transporting guests from everyday cares as they sip sauternes in seclusion amidst the bins, bottles and boxes of the fully functioning cellar. Masculine and strong, with deliberately dimmed lighting, it retains its original arches of handmade brick, and rough timber beams. A merlot-colored stone floor is graced by an Oriental rug, on which sits a massive table: 16’ long by 3’ wide, milled from a single sinker cypress found in a Mississippi bayou. Sixteen tall-back leather chairs stand at the ready for a meal of epic scale, with vintages to match.
