Where to Drink
In a city with no last call, there's always a place to celebrate
New Orleans’ creative, laid-back spirit is embodied in, well, our spirits, but there’s more to drinking here than downing frozen daiquiris and Hand Grenades on Bourbon Street. Drinking in New Orleans is a celebration of our culture.
Whether you’re into discovering local beers, sipping fine wines or nursing hand-crafted cocktails with oversized ice cubes for the slow melt, you’ll find a barstool or booth with your name on it in New Orleans. Pick a neighborhood, the kind of establishment you’re looking for and let the fun begin.
