• The best places to drink in the Big Easy •

"Like a cocktail concierge, standing tall by the bar, Todd Price and his keen little app serve it forth." --John T. Edge, Epicurious.com


New Orleans boasts more bars per capita than any city in America. Finding a drink in the Crescent City isn’t hard. Finding the best bars, however, requires a discriminating guide.

New Orleans' Best Bars leads you to everything from gritty dives with funky brass bands to historic bars mixing pre-Prohibition cocktails. Looking for $2 shots at 3 a.m.? Thirsty for regional brews from Louisiana and Mississippi? Or do you want cutting edge drinks from bartenders with national reputations? New Orleans' Best Bars has all that and more.

Each entry includes a detailed description, photos, and a map that plots a course from your current location. Average taxi fare to each bar is also provided. Bars can also be browsed by category, such as "Hotel Bars," "Wine Bars," or "Smoke Free."

No matter the neighborhood or the hour of the night, New Orleans' Best Bars will show you the city's top spots to let the good times roll.
