The Delachaise

★★★★☆ 3.8 (473) • $$

"I happened into this restaurant/bar last night. It proclaims itself to be a wine bar. I asked for a glass of Merlot and was told, "we don't have that." I then asked for a glass of Pinot Noir and the bartender begrudgingly shoved it at me across the bar. I asked if i could order from the menu. He handed me a menu and told me to order from him and someone would bring me the food when it was ready. I ordered the herbsaint oysters. It was okay...not worth the $20 price tag. I then ordered the prime rib meatballs as that sounded interesting. When those arrived, the sauce was piping hot, but the meatballs were cold in the center. (I guess they did not microwave them long enough.) Anyway, for a city so forward leaning re: alcohol, this place should try to keep up with their peers."

Beachcorner Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (214) • $$

"It was just fine. I liked the level of the lights and music, very sensory friendly for bar, leans into a pub identity. The bartender got us the things we asked her for. And that's that lol. The star of the show is the grill master, he does know how a burger. It was tasty, if a little dry, but that was my fault, because 9/10 times at bars, if they ask me how I want my burger, and I tell them medium, and it comes out Chef Ramsey Rawr, so I ask for medium well, and it's perfect, a bit of pink in the center. His was medium well, white center, like I asked. I'll ask for what I like with confidence next time. Nice space, nice backyard patio."

Vandal Hookah Lounge

★★★★☆ 4 (132) • $$

"Suggested by locals , good pick , pulled up for happy hour $10 Hookah and $3 drinks . I don't smoke, so I didn't partake in hookah, but my people enjoyed it. Drinks I ordered along with others this vodka spritzer, it was alright. Ordered the 75-cent wings they were delicious, or we were just hungry. Seasoned fries were a table pleaser . Service was good and attentive. The vibe and the music were a hit. It's decorated trendy, a great place for large gatherings with friends and family.."

Fountain Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.6 (158) • $$$

"While visiting NOLA and staying near this beautiful hotel we stopped in on our last day for breakfast. When we got there, there was only one couple currently dining and two servers standing around chatting with each other... they looked over at us waiting at the entrance a couple of times, but still seemed to wait a minute before greeting us and directing us to a table. From there on, service was great though.Their menu is nice, some of the basic breakfast items, but also some items unique to the area. The items we chose were actually nicely prepared and tasty. Their egg white andouille omelet was great! But the biscuit I got with it was a rubbery mess, like it was heated up in a microwave, definitely wasn't fresh. The breakfast potatoes were really tasty though.Overall, it's a basic "hotel breakfast" and nothing special enough to warrant coming here from another luxury hotel to experience."

Bayou Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (111) • $$

"This place is a gem in the general lower Garden District/Garden District area of New Orleans because it has the best live jazz in the city six days a week. Some of the top performers in town play here regularly and it's just awesome. The cocktails and wine list are great and I have been here several times this summer. I finally had some appetizers, the wings and the fries were delicious. I know the restaurant where the food comes from is actually quite outstanding as well And the service staff are very pleasant. My favorite cocktail is the Hibis-Kiss and it's delicious! But really I come for the music and the laid-back vibe!"

Bianka Restaurants & Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.5 (53) • $$

"My new fave little spot! We stumbled upon this place from a little recommendation from our uber driver and it did not disappoint! Service was absolutely amazing, food was incredibly good and the vibes were just right.We came late on a Thursday evening and had wanted to grab some late night food and everything we ordered came out freshly made and flavorful. The wings were my favorite, they were crispy, LARGE and the Thai chili was such a good flavor. Plus the baba ganoush was prepared well too, and I'm really picky with my Persian dishes.I really have nothing but great things to say as the hookah was also really good- they had every kind of flavor and tier you can think of and the hookah people were attentive, consistently bringing out more when needed, and assisting as well. This place is on the second floor or the Buffalo Wild Wings but they had an elevator which was a bonus for me, since stairs were a little tricky for me. You've got come - this place is great all around. We literally came back twice."

Dream House Lounge

"Walked in on a random Saturday midday. Serene and relaxing vibes were experienced as soon as I walked in.If you're holistic about life - THIS PLACE IS FOR YOU. This is holistic establishment. Mocktails are infused with all types of herbs and all natural ingredients. They serve non-alcoholic liquor (example: BARE tequila) so the mocktails really do have the liquor taste without the negative side-effects. They also have egg rolls (try the brisket), made fresh to order. Favorite thing to try was the oxygen machine where you breath in purse & scented oxygen. They had a rosemary type send and another with lavender & lemongrass. You have these non evasive tubs that were surprisingly comfortable that go into your nose. I definitely felt refreshed afterwards. My girl and felt a real difference in our bodies after a night in NOLA & it improved our moods (mainly hers ) towards each other. Avi helped us out and gave great service. Rectified an issue we had with 5 star serviceCherry on Top: military discount. *chef's kiss* thank you for recognizing our service membersLove this place. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in NOLA. ‍‍"

"The food, service, and music was amazing!!! Staff is friendly and accommodating. We had chicken and waffles, fish and grits, and breakfast chimichanga. It was so delicious, full of flavor and not too salty!"

The Carousel Bar & Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$

"A whimsical experience! Located inside the Hotel Monteleone in the French Quarter, this bar had a literal carousel in it. And it spins (verrrrry slowly) every 15 min. The seats fill up quick but honestly I liked sitting some where so I could look at the carousel. They offer cocktails (and mocktails) and have a great bar bites. The only vegetarian item in their bar bites menu is truffle fries so I just came for a drink and then left.Their cocktails are very Nola-prohibition themed with sazeracs, old fashioned and French 75s. I ordered the fleur de lis since "when in Rome" and it was good. Not too sweet and I could taste the gin and cucumber. The price was ridiculous though. $19 for basically a gimlet but you're paying for the ambeyonce and you're in the quarter in a city. So I get it. My server was very polite and attentive so you can't beat that!"
