OUR STORY
2 Friends with a DREAM
Loft18 was a concept dreamt about 5 years ago by long-time local New Orleans’ friends Greg Whitman/President, Brett Gaudet/VP Partner and Chris Molina. With backgrounds in Entertainment, Sales and Hospitality and a fervent love for the game, it was only a matter of time before the idea of an interactive restaurant/bar/lounge converged. Seeing a niche in the hospitality industry, Loft18 began to take shape and was opened in 2017. Now with 2 locations in the hole, Loft18 is currently working on expansion efforts in other major markets.
