The Rusty Nail was a great spot to unwind after exploring New Orleans. It has a really inviting setup with both indoor and outdoor areas, giving it a nice balance between a cozy neighborhood bar and a lively hangout spot. The outdoor space has a relaxed atmosphere where you could enjoy a drink and take a break from the busier parts of the city, while the indoor area still had plenty of energy when you wanted something a little more lively. They have a second floor level that works great for private events too. The drinks are excellent, and the bartenders did a great job putting together quality cocktails in a laid-back environment. Overall a great neighborhood bar with good drinks and a comfortable atmosphere.
Adorable place to grab a drink. The covered patio is beautiful, well lit, and had a great temperature.
Great bourbon prices. Their 1792 barrel pick is exceptional.
One of our new favorite places! Close to home and within walking distance between warehouse district, dt, & cod neighborhoods. Their menu selection is amazing, with wide selection of ciders, beers, & bourbon, & pretty much any cocktail you can think of at also some pretty affordable prices. Turns out the food can be ordered through their neighboring venue, the Sidecar, which looks delicious and we cant wait to try it out...! Many youth and people were dining and having a great time which set the tone for the place :) We met a few of the bartenders, including Lee, who were really welcoming too. My boyfriend had some cognac and I had a coffee cocktail. Let me know what you think of it!
