"For a proper Vieux Carré, skip the often‑crowded Carousel Bar where the drink can be buried under melting ice and head to this mostly locals’ spot on the shaggier edge of the French Quarter; it turns out an array of classics at affordable prices, and, as Hannah puts it, “I really prefer their Vieux Carré, to be honest.”" - Wayne Curtis
"This frothy and refreshing cocktail is all about the long game — it takes a significant shake from a bartender to activate the frothy factor for the combo of egg whites, gin, orange flower water, sugar, and cream. They do a super job at the craft cocktail mecca Bar Tonique on the edge of the Quarter by Armstrong Park. Don’t order one if you’re in a hurry." - Missy Frederick
"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

"Boothy Bar Tonique centers on cocktails and casual glam, with exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and a hip clientele. One of New Orleans’s earliest craft bars, quality ingredients and skill still rule the day here. A selection of clever temperance drinks appeals to everyone." - Eater Staff
