What is the story about?
New Orleans has one of the highest bars per capita in the country — 56 bars per 100,000 humans, at last count. With so many great watering holes, choosing favorites is tough. But it can be done. This list represents a broad sampling of bars: iconic cocktail
bars, neighborhood dives, hotel bars, beer bars, Irish pubs, and bars with live music or day drinking. There are simply not enough hours in the day.
Pete’s Out in the Cold, Pal’s, Bar Tonique, and Dovetail are the newest additions to this roundup of essential NOLA bars. They are listed from east to west.
