Traditionally cocktail bars have been bastions of civility and sophistication. Different from saloons where the point was to become inebriated rapidly and economically, the cocktail bar was a place where ladies and gentlemen went to socialize in a productive and cultured way. Inspired by the historical period when cocktails grew out of medicine and home remedies, our idea at Cure is to reintroduce our guests to another time where the experience of having a cocktail and a bite to eat was both healthful and enjoyable.

HOURS: Open at 5pm seven days a week.
Kitchen open til 12am Sun.-Thurs., 2am Fri. & Sat.

Dat Dog’s menu may be minimal, the taste is anything but, especially given the range of sausage choices and condiments. Dat Dog retains the ambiance of a globetrotting hot dog joint while giving a nod to local flavor with Louisiana hot sausage, Louisiana smoked sausage, alligator sausage, and crawfish sausage.
The new location features an expanded beer + wine menu.

“The bayou meets the Delta,” is how Chef Garcia described High Hat’s sensibility. “Catfish, tamales, po-boys, gumbo, pimento cheese. They have  seven or eight different sides – smoky black-eyed peas, hush puppies. It’s  a family restaurant, very neighborhood oriented, very affordable.”  Full service bar.

Liberty Cheesesteaks is a locally owned and operated business founded in 2012 to introduce New Orleans to a proper Philly Cheesesteak experience by combining the best locally sourced ingredients with the founders’ service industry backgrounds and Philly roots.

As our “Philly grown, NOLA home” slogan suggests, Liberty Cheesesteaks makes its home at 5301 Freret Street in New Orleans proper. We picked our location on Freret Street because we wanted to be a part of the resurgence of this uptown neighborhood. We felt an obligation to continue the momentum.
