Bar Tonique
If you're in the mood for some great hand-crafted classic cocktails (think Corpse Revivers, Sazeracs, Old Fashioneds, and of course the Vieux Carre) this place'll do them more than justice, as well as slinging some amazing originals and a quirky beer list (English pale ale from a Mexican micro, anyone?), all of which is served up with surprisingly little pretense.
