CellarDoor

New Orleans


Although the CellarDoor is technically a gastropub, we tend to skip the New Southern food menu and lean into the excellent, extensive cocktail list and historic-chic ambiance. Once a brothel, this lovely space now doubles (or triples?) as a bar and miniature art gallery.

The atmosphere is exquisite: features lighting, molded accents, exposed brick and a general air of sexy noir that's both understated and welcome in this more contemporary corner of town.
