"The Bower is an American restaurant in New Orleans. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"Fancy a $12 charcuterie plate or $11 truffle bread? The Bower Bar pairs those deals with $5 to $7 classic drinks during happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m." - Missy Frederick
"A stylish Lower Garden District bar connected to the Bower is being decked out for the holidays with Christmas décor and holiday cocktails served in special glassware. Among the themed drinks are the ultra-festive Scrooge’s Cider, served in a holiday mug with apple vodka, spiced rum, and warm apple cider; a frozen eggnog daiquiri with spiced rum, amaro, vegan soft serve, and winter spice; and a frozen bourbon pumpkin spice latte. The pop-up runs December 1 through December 30. Hours: Monday–Thursday 4–9 p.m., Friday–Saturday until 10 p.m., Sunday 3–9 p.m." - Clair Lorell
"This chic LGD hotspot turns into a winter wonderland during the holiday season, serving up specialty seasonal cocktails in a decked-out setting. There’s one hot cocktail on the festive menu this year: Scrooge’s Cider is served in a holiday mug with 360 Red Delicious Apple Vodka, False River Spiced Rum, and warm house-made apple cider." - Clair Lorell
"Chef Marcus Woodham orchestrates a Gulf and farm to table menu at The Bower, an inviting space in the Lower Garden District with a lovely outdoor patio and chill vibe, inside and out. His tuna tartare with cucumber and avocado is accented with Asian flavors, including goji berries and a yuzu and mirin vinaigrette. Then there’s a whole roasted branzino with black rice and fennel and a spectacular seared scallops option with farro, Maggie mushroom conserva, hot coppa, and basil. Really, everything is so good." - Beth D’Addono
