The Will & The Way

A calm, polished stop in the French Quarter, this is the kind of bar that works just as well for a quiet drink as it does for a long evening with friends. The historic building and brick courtyard give it real character without feeling staged, and the room strikes a rare balance between stylish and easygoing. Cocktails and wine are both taken seriously here, so it suits people who want more than the usual Quarter routine. Come for the setting, stay for the relaxed pace and the sense that everything is looked after.
