"This low-lit, low-key bar serves as a kind of introduction to the Lower Garden District, given its location at the start of the neighborhood on Magazine Street right past Calliope. It matches the LGD’s hip but classic vibe — not overly pretentious or try-hard, just funky and cool. The succinct cocktail list is simple and straightforward but expertly crafted, while the whiskey, bourbon, and beer lists steal the show. And, like any great bar dedicated to drinks, the food is done entirely by pop-ups, consistently hosting some of the best in town." - Eater Staff, Beth D'Addono
