6.6Locals Score / 10#19 of 20 Bars & Nightlife in New Orleans
Known forabsinthe (Swiss)absinthe (French)absinthe margarita
A historic absinthe-focused bar on Bourbon Street with knowledgeable bartenders who can prepare the spirit properly and explain flavor profiles. Try their absinthe selections (Swiss and French varieties available) or their absinthe margarita. Fair warning: it's genuinely tiny with limited seating around the bar, though there's a larger back room with speakeasy vibes—service can be slow when it's busy.
