Dovetail Bar

I've been meaning to stop back by for a while, and the opportunity finally presented itself and I wasn't disappointed! They had a new drink on the menu described by the barkeep as spicy, and I love a spicy drank! I got in close to closing, but the staff was kind enough to let me in and even allowed me to order not just one, but two drinks! I tried the Alamo Sour, and I highly recommend it if you're into anything spicy. Great service & great drinks!

this was a chill and laid-back bar my group stumbled upon. It's a great spot to catch up with friends and have conversations. Drinks were great, lots of creative and unique cocktails. I really liked the mango sticky rice - it was umami from the black sesame and perfectly creamy from the coconut rum.

This coffee shop turns into a bar at 3pm (closed 2-3pm). The drinks here are yummy but on the pricier side. I got the Brazilian Skies, which is a tropical-tasting drink that has notes of vanilla (from the ube). I can't speak for the coffee, but the drinks are wonderful.The bartender was very friendly and even gave some recommendations for food & other fun things to do.Def worth checking out if you're in the area!

This bar was a fabulous find on my last night in New Orleans. Only a 10 minute walk from my hotel, and everything was wonderful from the space to the service to the cocktails! The bar is very welcoming and pretty, with great seating space both at the bar and throughout the area. The bartenders were nice and quick, and we made good conversation. The cocktails themselves were absolutely fabulous, very unique and delicious. I would definitely suggest this as a stop if you enjoy craft cocktails, but also if you're just on your own looking for a night cap

I have a long list of cocktail bars through New Orleans and Dovetail has been on my list for a while and it did not disappoint! The vibe is laid back, the space looks very nice, and the location is perfect. The service was outstanding. They were 2 bar tenders running the bar and they were efficient. I had a lot of question about the drink menu and they answered them all with a smile and gave great suggestions. That's all ways a plus makes you want to come back. The drinks were outstanding! We tried 4 different ones. Up first was the "Between the Boards" if you like Mezcal this would be your drink so refreshing but still stout the citrus and Hibiscus pairs excellent together. Next we had the "Burro No Barracho" this is a non alcoholic drink but we added tequila. That made it a Mexican mule, my first time having one it didn't disappoint. You can expect out your traditional Moscow mule but with tequila. The third drink was the "Sandlewood" a nice Caribbean Rum cocktail reminds me so much of a rum punch with a slight twist. But it looks completely different it might've been my favorite of the night. The Last drink of the night was the "Shiso Fly" it had Japanese rum Thai basil, Lemon Grass, Lime, and Thai Spice in it. It had an aromatic smell and a clean taste. This cocktails bar is a must stop!

Service was superb! The bartender will create a cocktail just for you based on your desires. I had a whiskey sour without egg white. It was pretty good. I topped off the evening with a Sazerac, a New Orleans favorite. He said he made the best in New Orleans, and he didn't lie. It was divine. Much stronger than others experienced throughout the French Quarter.This is a great spot to stop in for a drink. There is no food, so come prepared. It's great to stay somewhere where there is at least a bar downstairs that closes at midnight. Other patrons stopped in from the nearby hotel. The drinks were flowing and everyone was pleased with their drink and the service.

Dovetail is a nice spot. I'd give it a 3.8 overall. Let's talk about the pros: the space is super cute! The colors and designs are sort of funky and give a transformative vibe from Rampart St when you walk in. The bartenders are passionate about their art and make tasty, cutely crafted drinks. And, they play nice music! Last, I've met some really cool people (from locals to those from different continents) since the bar is attached to a Sonder. It's a cool experience! The not so great: the drinks are pricey for Nola and they don't have happy hour...whomp, lol. The bar is already pretty small and recently, they taken chairs from 1/3 of the bar to make it a walk-up area. If I'm solo and there are no chairs at the bar, I'm leaving. There's def ample seating in the lounge area, but nothing beats pulling up at the bar. And speaking of pulling up, depending on the night, parking in the Rampart area can be a pain. So, I'd suggest Dovetail for a weeknight when the area is pretty slow and you can likely grab a seat at the bar.

Great vibe, awesome cocktails and fun lounge space! Great for a drink before or after a show at the Saenger Theater. I personally love Fridays here for Sushi by Greta. Service at the bar is pretty impressive too! Mel and Andy sling awesome cocktails!

We stayed at Sonder the Schaeffer (the attached hotel that houses Dovetail in its lobby) and I'm grateful, because who knows if we would've stumbled on this hidden gem otherwise! Although we never visited during coffee shop hours, nighttime was ALWAYS a vibe! The staff, patrons, ambiance, and overall vibe were 10/10 and made for the perfect evening "out" just steps away from our hotel room.We were lucky enough to be staying during a Rabbit Hole Bourbon Tasting night and got to try some wonderful bourbons/whiskeys (aka my love language!) as well as some dishes being sold right out front during the event.Overall, Dovetail, (as unassuming as it may appear), far exceeded what I expected and I will for sure visit again when in NOLA!

Amazing service, unique drinks, and overall a great experience. Although small and a little hidden away from the normal bar scene this is now one of my favorite stops.
