The Will & The Way

On a short visit we needed a late night meal and this was open and looked good. The wings were so good we made an excuse to come back and get them again. This place was also coincidentally recommend by a local or two and we felt very cool having already stumbled upon it our first night. Very creative food menu, great service and a lovely little courtyard. Don't sleep on this place. It's a gem.

While in town, my coworkers and I were looking for a good place for dinner one evening. We ended up loving TW&TW so much that we went 2 nights in a row! We didn't realize that it wasn't a restaurant like we thought, but a bar that serves bar food. This is a hidden gem! We tried and loved their house cocktails and lived each dish we tried. My favorite We the brussel sprouts; there were a lot of flavors and multiple textures to this dish that elevated it for me. We also loved the Korean fries, bao buns, cheeseburger, honestly all of it. When we came back the second day, we briefly met and said hi to Josh the chef (pictured). It is bar service here and they bring your food to you. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful. This is a great place for friends, date night, or even a solo night of people watching.

Tucked away off the main Bourbon St drag, The Will & The Way should be on the "check out" list for anyone looking for artistic cocktails and elevated bar food. Reservations aren't accepted, so you'll want to come prepared for a wait as needed, especially if looking for seating for a larger group beyond just at the bar. The cocktails were top notch, offering a variety of flavors and liquors. The food was where TWTW stood out though. I appreciated the breadth of vegetarian options, having struggled throughout the French Quarter for options. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts were exceptional, some of the best I've had this calendar year. The portion was ample too! Definitely enough for 2-3 people to split. The toppings make for a flavorful, texturally complex bite. The Roasted Sweet Corn Tamale was also a standout and beautifully plated! The interior was too dimly lit to capture an adequate picture. Another dish that fired on all cylinders in terms of texture, seasoning and components that paired seamlessly with one another. We will definitely be back when we visit NOLA next!

When you walk in you first see the bar and grab a menu sit wherever you want as long as you order at the bar. We went straight through the bar to the back and it is such a vibe. The ambience is total New Orleans style with the brick walls and the outdoor lights pair that with one of their yummy cocktails I got the sad boy club and it was amazing my friend and I ordered the spicy hot wings. Some fries, and the bao buns. We were in the city for about 10 days and found our self coming back often to visit. The employees are really nice and you will have no regrets. Definitely recommend when you're near Bourbon Street.

Best food we had in New Orleans. Accommodating to allergies. Places to hide away from the bustle and noise.

Food was great and the service was excellent!!! I left a package hanging on the hook under the bar I'm hoping i will be able to retrieve it today. It was gifts for the grandkids. It will be a good excuse to try more of the food and drink offerings.

Cute vibe. Small. Busy. Friendly service. Street parking if any, would recommend walking.Food was good overall, wings were disappointing. Bao buns similar. Fries were simple but crunchy and fresh. Brussels sprouts were the star of the show. Portion sizes were good. Surprised us with how big they were, BUT prices were killer. Really hit hard compared to others around. But for the good time and interesting but also expensive drinks. We may be back just to try 1-2 things rather than everything off the menu.Happy eating!

Just came in for drinks before dinner elsewhere. Lots of character in this dark and stylish place- definitely not a dive bar!. Unfortunately, it was raining so the outdoor seating area wasn't open, but it looked great. A nice drink selection but the happy hour specials weren't that special. Would come back here for some upscale bar food another time. Give it a try.

With my wife roaming the French Quarter, and I finally completed with my day conferencing at the New Orleans Marriott, we decided to meet up for pre-dinner drinks at The Will and The Way. My wife has always had a love for Shakespeare so frequenting a bar named after a quote from one of his plays was a must.We only had time for one drink but we would return in a heartbeat due to the charm of the building and the dark interior inside, with a courtyard in the back. I enjoyed a lovely GTL made with laird's jersey lightning, middle west white rye, mathilde peche, and cocchi americano that was a good starter drink for the evening we had ahead.

The Will & The Way was a top tier bar in NOLA. When we arrived, it was packed. Luckily, we got to take a table indoors because as soon as we walked there a group left. They were really busy, so eventually I got to flag down a bartender to help us clean up the table from the group before. These workers have a great attitude and are very helpful. I loved their lil Christmas decor inside. It was so cute. Also, go to the bathroom!!!! It's like a disco in there with great music. I ordered pork buns for myself. While I thought they were yummy, they didn't have as much meat as I would've liked. The real star of the show was their burger. This is the best burger I've ever had in my life. I had wished I had gotten a double. I think the duck fat they used made a huge difference. So juicy and flavorful. Fries were also bomb. They are able to lettuce wrap a burger if you're GF. We would definitely be back if we are in the city again,
