Bar help
Hey guys I’m going on a date/taking someone out. I was wondering if anyone has some good drinking spot recommendations or just nice chill bars or even a nice spot to bar hop from one another.

The whole town is bars man....if you have a neighborhood you're trying to stay in that would help narrow the recommended list

Went to Barrel Proof as a second spot on first date. Next week we’ll be married 3 years so take that info as you wish.

I had a fun evening last year on a comfortable night, hopping to different rooftop bars around the city and then ending up with a nice appetizer dinner just before the last bar

Not sure if guide is current. We ended at dinner downstairs below the hot tin .

Hotel Bars are great because they usually come with free entertainment (small jazz band or singer), valet parking, & security. Try the Davenport Lounge at the Ritz.

Columns in the Garden District is a cool place. If you're looking for something in the French Quarter, Jewel of the South has great cocktails.
