Cocktail Lounge · Late-night · French Quarter

Chris Hannah and Nick Detrich's French Quarter bar-restaurant — a James Beard winner reviving the legacy of 19th-century New Orleans bartender Joseph Santini (the Brandy Crusta was his). A courtyard cottage setting, a cocktail program that's scholarly without being precious, and a food menu that's genuinely good rather than an afterthought. For craft cocktails with deep historical literacy in a romantic Quarter setting.
