Bar · French Quarter

"This 200+-year-old bar in the French Quarter is a great stop for an absinthe-based pick me up —get the Absinthe Frappe — though they do boast a cocktail menu of New Orleans’s most famous drinks, making The Old Absinthe House a place to bring out-of-town visitors. There’s a spacious outdoor courtyard facing Bourbon." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
