Set in a converted Uptown firehouse on Freret Street, Cure is the bar that kicked off New Orleans's cocktail renaissance, a soaring, apothecary-style room with a wall of spirits and a James Beard award to show for it.
The menu changes constantly and the bartenders are the real draw, tell them what you like and let them build something. The classics are flawless too.
Go on the early side to get a seat, and make a night of Freret Street's restaurants and bars around it. It's a quick ride from downtown.
The drink itself is the whole experience, and it's the most New Orleans thing you can order anywhere in town.
