"The low-slung turquoise bar on the last street in the Bywater used to be the Joint back in the day, Now it’s a much-loved neighborhood watering hole with a damn-fine bar menu, not to mention an eclectic music and burlesque schedule. Bar Redux has everything from red beans to fried chicken to cheesesteaks to quesadillas. Get your fill until 3 a.m. on Fridays, and 2 a.m. every other day of the week. Raise the bar on the experience and dine on the patio." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
