    Outdoor courtyard spaces are coveted in NOLA, but often hard to find with public access. Relax in this bar's beautiful outdoor space, perfect for a low-key date, with regular food trucks out front.

    While the bar is slightly off the beaten path, your efforts are well rewarded with a private outdoor seating area often featuring live music. Do yourself a favor and order a Disco Lemonade... or 10. Read more

    Pleasantly surprised with this place. Incredible mix drinks and chill bartenders. Loved their old fashion with their own Knob Creek bourbon.

    This place is a good late night bar that has live music and outdoor seating. Try the Disco Lemonade or the Frozen Pimm's Cup.

    The bartenders are sweet, almost TOO sweet, but the frozen Irish coffees are NOT too sweet!

    Try their spicy-bean back with a shot of Jameson. Their take on the more common pickle back is a kick.

    Disco Lemonade is the perfect hangover cure. Grab some grub from the food trucks outside.

    Any bar that has Van Morrison in the window is a must stop when in New Orleans.

    For a cool experience, ask for a scotch tasting from the bartender. You'll be amazed!

    Sit on the patio. It's fantastic. Plus the band isn't that loud. $10 cover was a little much.

    This bar is pretty cool for watching college football. Unless Alabama is playing. Then it's overrun by a bunch of gumps wearing crimson.
