"Although the 1900s apothecary–inspired bar on the first floor draws many patrons, the partially covered rooftop lounge is worth the climb for views over the South Slope neighborhood. It’s an ideal place to sip flights of handmade, locally sourced, award-winning spirits—such as their barrel-rested gin or a single-malt expression—while people-watching or catching the annual Mardi Gras parade. Cocktails are crafted with precision, making the rooftop a standout in a town often dominated by beer." - Erin McGrady
