A Prohibition-themed cocktail den a step off Bourbon Street, named for the amendment that repealed Prohibition and decorated with the era's live-jazz photography. It works best as a respite from the Bourbon madness — come early in the evening, before the chaos spills in, or midweek when the room is quieter, and order the New Orleans standards it does well: a classic Sazerac, a Vieux Carré. The drinks are honest and the setting trades on real history rather than kitsch, which makes it a reliable reset between the street's louder stops.
