    It's a pain to get out here without a car, but trust me: it's worth the cabfare there and back. Best cocktail bar in town: inventive recipes, new flavors, all perfectly crafted.

    A frequent gathering spot for both students and professors at Tulane School of Architecture on Friday afternoons. Their cocktails are both inventive and delicious.

    Some of the best cocktails I've ever had. I usually just order whisky on the rocks or an Old Fashioned, but here I wanted to venture out on the menu.

    It's a civilized uptown bar serving knockout cocktails like The Mexican Bus Ride, made with tequila, mezcal, aromatized wine, and tinctures.

    Try the "Chink in the Armour" -- a gin based cocktail with Lillet and bitters. Delicious. You can find the recipe in the book "Speakeasy Cocktails" created for iPads. http://bit.ly/foursq_cocktails

    Bartender Ryan served up a perfect Manhattan, encouraged me to try Cynar and gave great restaurant recs (even for an NYC transplant!) Stop by and say hi!

    Make your drink a challenge. Thinka ordered a drink made with tequila and based on your (the bartender's) favorite Bowie song. Kirk mixed us up a "Ziggy Stardust." So pretty and tasty. So Bowie. Read more
