The Bombay Club

"Duck out of the madness into this martini-drenched oasis on Conti Street in the Quarter. The Bombay Club is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Nibble on the likes of tandoori fish sliders and buttermilk fried chicken sandwiches — but the dirty martini salad may be the best pairing with its liquid namesake." - Beth D'Addono

"The handsome Bombay Club bills itself as a music venue and martini bar, but the dining options shouldn’t be discounted. The menu includes curried cauliflower, shrimp and grits, and naan tacos with pork belly, fried fish, or cauliflower. There’s music, and good bar food, nightly, and a solid happy hour Wednesday through Sunday." - Clair Lorell, Beth D'Addono

"It’s the wrap-around bar that takes over most of the restaurant, the dim lighting, and the live jazz that gives off all the sultry James Bond vibes at Bombay Club. The martini there is more of a mood, and not drinking one feels almost illegal." - Adriana Lopez

"Dead Rabbit New Orleans will first open as a pop-up during the 2020 Tales of the Cocktail, and launch fully a few months later. Muldoon said New Orleans has “everything we are looking for,” in their expansion. “It’s a fun city, a drinking city. It’s all about hospitality and fun. There will be plenty of tourists in the French Quarter.” The Conti Street address for Dead Rabbit New Orleans, which has not yet been named, apparently shares similarities with the original bar. “It’s a tri-level space, like 30 Water Street,” McGarry told Drinks International. “The first floor will be mostly standing, but will continue upstairs which will be seated and has an outside space. There will be space for 120 people with about 30-40 people on the third floor.”" - Clair Lorell
