Hello Travelers!
New Orleans is famous for its delicious food, party atmosphere and first class hospitality. With all its world-class drinking establishments it seems logical and necessary that NOLA would have some world-class beverages, in fact it does.
Here is a list of some of the best drinks in NOLA with a handy map that will get you to them:
1. Pat O’Brien’s Hurricane: A trip to the Big Easy would not be complete without paying a little homage to the institution that is Pat O’s. Generations have enjoyed these concoctions, which have taken on a mystical quality, but the hype aside they do actually deserve their reputation as an effective and “seemingly” benign kick start. Plus it is a chance for guys to drink something with cherries in it.
2. Grenade at the Tropical Isle: This famous Grenade is just like an over-sized swizzle stick and every bit as sweet. However, the packaging makes this drink at least worth considering. You won’t be able to miss all the people on Bourbon with their Grenades exploding all over the place, so make sure you stand back when you see a pack of them approaching.
3. Pimm’s Cup at Napoleon House: Just like going back in time 200 years is the feeling one gets when they arrive into this don’t miss classical music cafe. Granted it is not a place to go when you have your “Bourbon on” so we recommend giving it a go when you are winding up. Plus, it is a great and cheap place to get a snack or a lunch. Don’t miss the Napoleon House!
4. Frozen Iced Irish Coffee at Molly’s on The Market: In New Orleans there is a lot of competition among the frozen drinks as can be seen by the daiquiri stands on every street corner, but Molly’s Iced Coffee stands out. Located on Lower Decatur, going to Molly’s is also a good excuse to get out and explore the rest of the Quarter.
5. Bloody Mary at EnVie Cafe: While in New Orleans the time will come when a Bloody Mary will be needed and EnVie Cafe will be happy to serve up a good one, plus, they have great breakfasts and excellent coffee. The owner of EnVie is one of the captains of the neighborhood and prides himself on providing delicious and inexpensive food, drinks and of course fair trade coffee. Oh, did we say that they also provide free WiFi?
6. Flaming Camel’s Milk at Attiki: Any time a drink is lit on fire it raises its fun level exponentially. Attiki is a nice, clean and classy restaurant / bar where one can do a flaming shot, smoke a hookah and get a good meal.
7. The Octo-Bong at Beer Fest: Yep, that is an eight person beer bong! Beer Fest has two locations on Bourbon so it is hard to miss. When you enter either location the spider-like beer delivery system is hanging from the ceiling and ready for your group to partake. Be sure to ask the price of the beer to be bonged because some of the brews are quite pricey, which when multiplied times 8 can mean a bill close to $100, or 20 Big Ass Beers. Give Beer Fest a look if you are in mood for craft beers while Bourboning or if you and 7 of your friends want to funnel together.
Happy Travels!
