"A lush, sultry spot tucked away on a dead-end street in the LGD has taken over New Orleans’s wine scene. The Tell Me Bar highlights mostly young, small-production labels specializing in low-intervention winemaking — at least 10 wines by the glass, and dozens more by the bottle on an ever-changing menu. There are DJs every Saturday, a menu of tinned fish snacks from brands like Fishwife and Jose Gourmet (as well as Cajun caviar service with Zapp’s potato chips), and food pop-ups Wednesday through Saturday. It’s an undeniably cool spot, but not one to be intimidated by — the staff is friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable." - Clair Lorell
