Top choice in New Orleans


This former takeout joint has gone all-in and now hovers in that delicious middle ground between pub (with inventive craft cocktails such as the Porkbelly Old Fashioned, garnished with a piece of bacon!) and restaurant (with a scrumptious eggplant-banh-mi sandwich that you wish you could take home to meet your parents). Either way, it's all about yum.

It offers a nice $5-for-all-cocktails happy hour, too, between 3pm and 6pm, every day of the week.
