Bouligny Tavern

"One of Magazine Street’s chicest locations is Bouligny Tavern, an easily-missed small plates and cocktail destination. Food and drinks are served until refreshingly late, making it great for an intimate late-night stop for drinks and bistro bites like duck confit with greens and charcuterie. The narrow courtyard is an extra special setting." - Clair Lorell, Beth D'Addono

"This longtime date night hub offers an inviting grown-up menu of bistro favorites. Gougères with Comté burrata; bruschetta topped with roasted tomato salad; duck confit with greens and house-cured charcuterie — try it all. Bouligny Tavern’s winning drinks menu is locally inspired — try a fig old-fashioned." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell

"The elegant Bouligny Tavern, located just outside the Garden District on Magazine Street, serves food until closing nightly, which means midnight Monday through Wednesday and 1 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. The well-rounded and surprisingly affordable menu ranges from lighter items like burrata bruschetta and beet-cured salmon to heartier post-booze fare like burgers and Sriracha wings. The intimate patio invites." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell

"The narrow side courtyard at one of Magazine Street’s chicest locations feels like a hideaway, a gem for cocktails, wine, and bistro bites like duck confit with greens served until refreshingly late — midnight Monday through Wednesday and 1 a.m. Thursday through Saturday." - Clair Lorell, Eater Staff
