The 20 Best Bars in New Orleans - New Orleans - The Infatuation

"Bar Tonique is a cocktail spot just three blocks from Bourbon Street where you can sit at a big U-shaped bar, enjoy a well-made drink, and breathe for a minute. The bartenders here take their cocktails very seriously and, as a result, each drink requires a few minutes to make. And yet, it's not a stuffy place at all. They have a daily $6 cocktail, meaning you can have two mai tais or Moscow Mules before paying the same amount for one frozen daiquiri at your next stop down the street." - megan braden perry, zella palmer
