Assistant General Manager

ASSISTENT GENERAL MANAGER| Copper Vine | New Orleans

Welcome to Copper Vine.

Housed in the storied building that was once home to Maylie's — one of New Orleans' oldest restaurants — Copper Vine is a wine-fueled contemporary American Restaurant & Inn in the heart of the Central Business District.

Since opening in 2018, Copper Vine has honored over a century of history while building something entirely its own. With a newly opened Inn, upstairs private dining & event spaces, a restored 132-year-old bar, and a curated food & beverage program spanning Brunch, Happy Hour, and dinner service, Copper Vine brings together every element of hospitality to its high-volume restaurant and luxurious Inn in the heart of downtown, New Orleans.
