Touring New Orleans's Hidden Bars: 'Walk With T+L'
"The first stop on Taylor's tour is Double Dealer, located underneath the famous Orpheum Theater, which was built in 1918. Taylor walks down a backstage hallway and through a false door before arriving in the lush, low-lit bar with neon signs and curtains invoking the theater's rich history. Double Dealer manager Joe Diaz explains the bar is located in what used to be the theater's "air conditioning" room, where they would store the ice blocks that kept the building cool. He mixes up a drink using mezcal and Aperol, named the Blind Viking, and the bar's most popular cocktail with gin, cucumber and jalapeño syrup, called the Ultimately." - Travel + Leisure Editors
