"This Mid City favorite bridged the gap between lowbrow dive bar and highbrow cocktail lounge when T. Cole Newton opened the doors back in 2010. It’s a place where you can get a cheap beer or an incredibly crafted, original drink poured at a fair price. It’s a fun neighborhood spot too, with regular trivia, karaoke, and comedy nights on the calendar." - Eater Staff, Beth D'Addono
"Even on the busiest nights, there always seems to be an open seat at Twelve Mile Limit. That’s just one of the reasons we adore this spot in Mid-City, but there are others. Like the fact that they often throw dance parties, trivia nights, BINGO, and other events. Oh, and the cocktails are solid too, like the Humblebrag which mixes up Pimm’s, bourbon, hibiscus syrup, and lemon. The final reason we love Twelve Mile Limit: they give back to the community via donations to nonprofits supporting food security, fair housing, public education, and more." - Megan Braden-Perry
"This Mid City favorite bridged the gap between lowbrow dive bar and highbrow cocktail lounge when T. Cole Newton opened the doors back in 2010. It’s a place where you can get a cheap beer or an incredibly crafted, original drink and not have to feel judged about it. Top local pop-ups offer something different." - Eater Staff
"Third Wheel brings its own garden produce, homemade bread, and brunch specials to the table at Twelve Mile Limit, another pop-up hotspot, for Sunday brunch." - Beth D'Addono
"If you just happened by 12 Mile Limit, you’d assume from the nondescript exterior and ordinary interior (low ceilings, pool table) that you’re at a regular New Orleans neighborhood bar. But the owner, one T Cole Newton, is a very respected alumnus of the city’s craft cocktail scene, credited with bringing mixology to the masses in one of the new waves of lower-key cocktail bars that have popped up in New Orleans. The cocktail menu coaxes you in with drinks made from only a few ingredients, but with weird unexpected twists that elevate the selection." - Paul Oswell, Andrew Parks
