The Best New Cocktail Bars in New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"Jolie, formerly a World of Beer tavern, has been transformed into a warm, inviting lounge with an old-world European vibe, thanks to the careful work of local tastemakers Kiah Darion (Bar Marilou) and Will Lester (Longway Tavern). Chefs Indigo “Soul” Martin and Adrian Martinez offer a menu of shareable plates with French influences (think foie gras toast, tempura frog legs, beef carpaccio), and the cocktails lean into juicy notes of passionfruit, lemon, and even honeycrisp apple, adding flair with intricate tools like atomizers, eye droppers, and blow torches. Keep an eye on Jolie’s calendar for live music, DJs, and a monthly “Cirque de Jolie” lineup of performers." - Clair Lorell
