The casual tavern-style bar is filled with history and memories including serving as a drinking den for both Sinatra and Capote and being the locale where the New Orleans Saints football franchise was christened in 1966. The cozy 40-seat bar features an extensive whiskey and beer list and a selection of creative craft cocktails and inventive bites. Exposed wood, rod iron chandeliers, velvet couches, and eclectic art give the space a warm, intimate vibe perfect for friends to enjoy great conversation and cocktails.
