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

"Nightbloom is a chill new late-night cocktail bar on St. Claude Avenue (adjacent to Galaxie Tacos). Moody with flickering candlelight and simply adorned with calming colors, Nightbloom is pretty and romantic, a classy little haven on a corner in the Bywater neighborhood. In addition to classics like a daiquiri, Negroni, and Old Fashioned, there are specialty drinks like the Miss Vanjie, which combines mezcal, tequila, cilantro, mint, jalapeño, pineapple, lime, agave, and salt; and the Underneath the Purple Rain with lavender-infused gin, Chareau aloe liqueur, Suze, Cocchi Americano, and a lemon twist. It’s open nightly — and playing good tunes — from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m." - Clair Lorell
