The 9 Best New Bars of 2025 | Bon Appétit

"Situated behind a historic Bourbon Street landmark, this witchy, emerald-hued bar blends Filipino flavors and spiritual ritual into a vibey (more soothing than spooky) experience: palo santo smoke, a tarot reader, and absinthe poured from antique fountains set the tone while cocktails—like a seasonal Zodiaquiri that swaps ingredients by astrological sign using ginger, rose water, and turmeric—are framed as positive-affirmation spellwork. The food echoes the same fusion of flavor and intent, with items such as tender pork ribs lacquered in lemongrass barbecue that balance sweet and savory alongside the bar’s mystic flourishes." - ByJoseph Hernandez
