Description
Sometimes it’s about a bar. Sometimes it’s about a bartender. Or a cocktail so fine that everything is right in your world. A history. A legend. A quirk. A destination not to be missed. Or one that will soon be worthy to be the same. These are the bars and restaurants of the French Quarter. We have hand-picked a select few to share with you as an insider. Their histories, libations and sometimes the personalities that make them tick. Let me please introduce myself: I’m your cocktail concierge. Together, we will imbibe our way across the French Quarter, reveling in the drinks that this legendary cocktail town made famous. Particularly when you consider this: The cocktail culture of New Orleans has a history and importance similar to jazz. Block for block, street for street, bar for bar, bartender for bartender, drink by drink, we put it to you that there is no more important, or accessible, cocktail city in the world for blowing you away with the cocktail’s foundational history, and the simple yet profound pleasures of enjoying one, than New Orleans.
Who This Experience Is Good For
This experience is good for people who enjoy learning about history, anyone who likes cocktails and people who want to explore the French Quarter.
