From the team behind Turkey and the Wolf — Mason Hereford's Magazine Street bar and snack spot that doubles as a living museum of 1980s Americana. Vintage beer-logo cocktail taps, pastel posters, Memphis Group-inspired furnishings, and the kind of obsessive period detail that turns every surface into a discovery. The cocktails are well-made and unpretentious, the small plates are shareable and better than a bar kitchen needs to be, and the whole operation has that specific New Orleans talent for making something deeply considered feel effortlessly casual.

Order This

The roasted artichokes have a cult following already. Cocktails from the taps are the house signature — the format keeps them cold and consistent. Small plates are designed for sharing and snacking across a long evening. The menu is short and everything on it earns its place.

Best Time

Evening from 7pm when the bar fills with the Magazine Street crowd. Weeknights are easier for bar seats. The 80s decor is best appreciated with time to linger and discover details — don't rush through.

Know Before You Go

Walk-in only, no reservations. The Turkey and the Wolf pedigree means this was one of the most anticipated openings in recent New Orleans memory, and it delivered. Magazine Street location means easy bar-hopping in both directions. Independent and locally owned. Cocktails around $12-15.
