Editor's Pick

An Irish bar tucked just off the Bourbon Street chaos that locals treat as a waypoint — the place to stop around 9pm, after dinner and before whatever the night becomes. Two things make it: the frozen Irish Coffee, widely held to be the best in the city and closer to a boozy milkshake than a coffee, and the Killer Poboys window in the back, which turns out some of the most respected sandwiches in town. Order the food first — the kitchen closes earlier than the bar — then settle in with the frozen Irish and let the Quarter rush past outside.
