Farm-to-table New American cuisine & cocktails
"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
"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
"This is Mark Latter and company’s revamp of the short-lived Claret Wine Bar space, an extension of the existing Bower on Magazine Street. While it serves food from the Bower kitchen, the focus here is drinks — the 20-seat bar serves sophisticated cocktails like the Hydrix — bourbon, mint-infused contratto, amaro, and aquafaba. The swanky bar shares an outdoor space with both of its sister spots, the Bower and Birdy’s." - Clair Lorell, Eater Staff
