The curated selection of classic cocktails are a great value at $6 and include New Orleans favorites like the Sazerac and the Pimm’s Cup, as well as bar snacks like steak tartare and duck liver pate. Read more
The Wall Street JournalSeptember 25, 2014
Cure is often ranked among the best lounges in the U.S.; New Orleans classics and house creations are skillfully mixed in a muted room, far removed from the daiquiri mills of Bourbon Street. Read more

“It’s modern but it also honors the city’s amazing cocktail culture,” says writer Jessica Voelker of this off-the-beaten-path craft cocktail bar from Neal Bodenheimer, Kirk Estopinal & Matthew Kohnke. Read more

Headquartered in a former firehouse, this bar serves some of the most wonderful cocktails in town. Try a Celery Stalker, a concoction of gin, lime, celery bitters, Prosecco and cucumber. Read more

A frequent gathering spot for both students and professors at Tulane School of Architecture on Friday afternoons. Their cocktails are both inventive and delicious.
Emilio CMarch 14, 2016
Some of the best cocktails I've ever had. I usually just order whisky on the rocks or an Old Fashioned, but here I wanted to venture out on the menu.
Tammy GordonSeptember 22, 2012
Bartender Ryan served up a perfect Manhattan, encouraged me to try Cynar and gave great restaurant recs (even for an NYC transplant!) Stop by and say hi!
Eric DNovember 2, 2014
It's a pain to get out here without a car, but trust me: it's worth the cabfare there and back. Best cocktail bar in town: inventive recipes, new flavors, all perfectly crafted.
Men's Health MagSeptember 16, 2014
It's a civilized uptown bar serving knockout cocktails like The Mexican Bus Ride, made with tequila, mezcal, aromatized wine, and tinctures.
Greg SchulerFebruary 3, 2017
A little out of the way, but my favorite cocktail bar in NOLA. If Ryan is working tell him I say hi!

This is where mixologist Jim Meehan (PDT) and the makers of Bittermens Bitters go for cocktails when they're in New Orleans. Go off menu and let them craft you something special.

Want a well-crafted cocktail that won't break the budget? Happy hour specials on classic cocktails run until 7 pm.

Make your drink a challenge. Thinka ordered a drink made with tequila and based on your (the bartender's) favorite Bowie song. Kirk mixed us up a "Ziggy Stardust." So pretty and tasty. So Bowie. Read more

One of the best cocktail bars in New Orleans, and definitely the best one in the Uptown area.

In a city famous for celebrating, Cure is constantly dreaming up rogue cocktails. Try the Gunshop Fizz, which uses 2 ounces of bitters, where many drinks might call for two dashes. Read more

Great atmosphere. Great drinks. The price is a bit much and it can take literally hours to get a drink.
Open Air PublishingApril 16, 2012
Try the "Chink in the Armour" -- a gin based cocktail with Lillet and bitters. Delicious. You can find the recipe in the book "Speakeasy Cocktails" created for iPads. http://bit.ly/foursq_cocktails

Excellent, upscale cocktail bar. Try their original concoctions or a classic cocktail.

great atmosphere, classy and cozy. perfect for date night or quiet conversation with friends.
Alex MizrahiOctober 18, 2012
awesome drinks but off the beaten path and nothing else is really around. But it is a nice break from normal NOLA
Matthew ScottJuly 22, 2013
Great spot for brilliant cocktails, and don't forget to try out the patio

Order a glass of the Rose and dates stuffed with goat cheese wrapped with bacon! One of New Orleans finest.

Bartenders at this newcomer use droppers to add house-made tinctures to their cocktails. Chef Jason McCullar seasons his "Pincho" ribs with Angostura bitters.

Great craft cocktails with a beautiful minimalist setting.

Order a sazerac. It will be the best you've ever had.

They aren't on the menu, but ask for the mozzarella sticks. They are out of this world.

There are bathrooms outside off the patio - just be sure to knock first!
