Get there early & enjoy your food in a relatively quiet & peaceful bar setting, or get there late, dance your ass off, & feed your soul. Get the patatas bravas & thank us later. [Eater 38 Member]

Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Gloomy. Dark. Perfect. It's like stepping back in time when the Nachez Trace ended here and rafts filled the streets. Read more.
Great bar a bit off the beaten path in the Quarter. A great place to escape Bourbon St. and the tourists begging for beads in August.
Of all the bars lining gaudy Bourbon Street, this may be the only one a local would be caught dead in. Plus, drinks are never wasted, because the law allows you to take them with you wherever you go.
New Orleans: Open all night, but most people don't stumble in until 4-5 AM... rumor has it, if you show up naked, you drink free. -IFC Viewer
Best bar in NOLA. Owners, bartenders and patrons all rock. Disco lemonade is a must for first comers!
World famous Burgers and infamous Monsoon cocktails! They also have great steaks! Whenever I go here I feel like I am at a party. (Must be college vibes implanted in my brain.)
Karaoking on Weds. and Fri. nights is AWESOME. Buy a cheap, cheap, cheap pitcher of beer any night.
Such a classic place. Came one day in jeans and another day in full dress with a wedding party including a bride in her dress and a groom in his kilt. Received the great same service both nights.
Buy a bottle of wine up front, then find a table in the backyard to order food and listen to live music. Totally cool.
Need a drink? Stop in and see Lucinda Weed & Liam Deegan for a refreshing cocktail! The two were recently named in Gambit's 26 Craft Cocktail Bartenders You Should Know! Read more.
Start your day off with a classic taste of New Orleans; coffee and a beignet. As seen on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation.
Fantastic croissants. Almond are my favorite, but blueberry and chocolate are great as well. Get a croissant, a coffee, and sit in the window and watch people wander by.
Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. The muffuletta, great. The Pimm's Cup, good. But, the Sazerac. Boy. What a Sazerac. Read more.

One of New Orleans's most famous watering holes, this circus-themed piano bar has a carousel on its revolving bar.
Great locals/neighborhood bar! Be careful though, the bartenders will get you f'd up fast if you're not paying attention!
A classic jazz club that leaves pretensions at the door and favors an intimate setting and focused on great music. The house band plays three feet away from where you’re sitting. Read more.
Get here early on Friday for lunch, because you'll be dining with the New Orleans business elite. French-Creole classics are on the menu here, like thick, peppery gumbo and steak with bearnaise sauce.
Definition neighborhood dive bar. Very welcoming & warm with a mean Bloody Mary. Only downfall in my opinion is it's CASH ONLY!
Yummy Friday night soul food popup at Marie's Bar. Check Facebook for their menu, which changes weekly. Recently got a well-deserved mention in Garden and Gun magazine.
This pizza pop-up in the Bywater is pick-up only on those couple days a week it’s open, but despite that it’s already established itself as one of the best pizzas in town. [Eater 38 Member]
Upstairs at Feelings Cafe on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, find yourself somewhere between Hemingway and Fitzgerald in 1920s Paris—wine and cheese included. sentimentsnola.com
There's a long menu of beers from around the world (and a fully stocked bar), and the eight large plasma TVs for watching the Saints and LSU. Read more.
Hugh Acheson was happy to find “really great coffee in a coffee desert.” The French Quarter makes for a charming locale to enjoy a pour over from Orleans Coffee Exchange, Conundrum or Panther Coffee. Read more.
Enjoy the courtyard in the rear for an ice cream or an Italian coffe. If Vic is in, ask him about the story of his family and you'll know something about New Orleans that's not on your Lonely Planet.
The museum includes cures for anything that ails you including voodoo potions & other weird medicines. The City of New Orleans operated the museum from 1950-1987, it's now run by a non profit org.
Fantastic drinks. Some classic tiki drinks, some based on classics with a twist. Try the tiki gummies.
