The 18 Best Restaurants & Bars In The Bywater & Marigny - New Orleans - The Infatuation

"Justini's feels like a modern-day, fancier version of two other Black woman-owned bars in New Orleans: Seal's and Bertha's. There’s even a mural in the courtyard honoring them. While both of those spots are classics, Justini’s is more of a see-and-be-seen destination with multiple cozy alcoves and mesmerizing chandeliers. The cocktails are wonderful, and though we plan on making it through the whole menu eventually, we’re pretty stuck on the Hello Barbara berry martini and the purple Doo Ya Thang champagne cocktail. There are also great hot sausage tacos and a burger loaded with jerk BBQ sauce, pepper jack, and charred jalapeños." - chelsea brasted, megan braden perry
