"The soothing respite afforded within the jewel box Fives bar can’t be overestimated. Beyond the expertly rendered service and menu of oysters, caviar, and raw seafood, beyond the fetching curved bar with its absinthe fountains, beyond the glow of the vintage chandelier, Fives feels like the bar New Orleans deserves. Situated on St. Ann steps from the Cathedral, the bar opens daily at 11 a.m. Just remember that it closes early, at 10 p.m., at the behest of its upstairs neighbors in the state-owned Lower Pontalba Building. And there can always be a celeb-sighting here, Kendall Jenner recently stopped by to promote her tequila there." - Eater Staff, Beth D'Addono
