Bacchanal Fine Wine & Spirits · Bywater
Part wine shop and part backyard garden party, this Bywater institution pairs a deep bottle list with a Mediterranean-leaning kitchen and nightly live music under the string lights. Guests grab a bottle from the shop, find a spot in the courtyard, and settle in for cheese plates and small plates. A readers'-poll favorite for a laid-back wine night.
Delachaise Street · Uptown
A narrow streetcar-side room on St. Charles Avenue pouring more than 350 wines across every price range, from by-the-glass pours to serious bottles. The kitchen sends out rich bar snacks like duck-fat fries to match, and the long, dim bar draws an after-work Uptown crowd. A wine bar built for lingering by the streetcar tracks.
Patrick’s Bar Vin · French Quarter
A romantic French Quarter wine bar built around a shaded private courtyard, tucked off the tourist path behind a hotel. The list runs deep for the Quarter, and the quiet patio makes it a refuge from Bourbon Street a few blocks away. Cheese and charcuterie round out an easy evening over a bottle.
