My boyfriend and I visited this bar on our first night of arrival to New Orleans and this place has amazing drinks! We had The Last Word and the Aviation, both drinks were made perfectly. The star of the show was definitely the Ramos Gin Fizz, which took 20 minutes to prepare but boy was it worth the wait! Definitely order this one ahead and get some starter cocktails in the meantime. If you're looking for a chill vibe, with great cocktails and nice music this is the place to be. 🥂

I'm definitely coming here whenever I'm in the city. The drinks were so good. Haven't had a drink this good in a long time and the prices are reasonable. Hidden gem. Great atmosphere. Update: vibes are everything. The bartender Manny uggggghh. Personally he made me not want to stay unfortunately.  The bartender yesterday, I forgot her name, was amazing. I'll come back when she's here.

Excellent small bar, set up in a way where everyone sits at a semi-circular table facing the bartender and watching him mix cocktails.  We had their daily special - which is Moscow Mule on Wednesday.
Saw a unique gin - Jin Jiji from India and got the bartender to make a martini! Superb!

I visited the New Orleans French Quarter, and this place was just a block from my hotel, so it is a great place for a nightcap. This bar is literally a hole in the wall,  but they have so many different whiskeys they have a pamphlet, not a menu but a pamphlet, of what they offer. I was there late on a Saturday so it was very busy. The bartenders hustled and the crowd friendly. I was served by a guy who turned out to be my ninth most favorite bartender of all time.
