    Great drinks one of 4 best Ive had world wide. However, the bar tender added the 20% tip when we were paying cash and "forget" to mention it. We caught it, but it left a bad taste in our mouths that ruined the great drinks.

    I loved this place! Off the beaten path, away from the noise of Bourbon Street, but with the same flair. Quiet and dark, great drinks (from a big selection), good food. You have to take an Uber if you're starting in the city, but it's worth it. Very unique place, can't wait to visit again!

    Beautiful bar, but the service could use some improvement. I was visiting from out of town and made a reservation as I was excited to find such a beautiful cocktail bar. The door was still locked when my party arrived and rather than a greeting the young woman at the door instead asked if we had a reservation. She looked chafed that we did. My party didn't look very much like the other guests in the building so I suppose there was some bias there; but once we began to order significantly more food and drink than the other guests the team members seemed to warm up to us and behave a lot kinder.

    This is acknowledged as the very best cocktail bar in New Orleans with very good reason. The staff are fantastic and their bespoke drinks are wonderful.

    Full disclosure…I went to Cure yesterday for the first time in close to a decade. I finished a business meeting early and decided to extend to a happy hour with my colleagues. Since we were in the area I thought Cure would be professional friendly and it did not disappoint. The cocktails were great and the service was too notch. I only had the charcuterie so I can’t comment on the food but I would highly recommend anyone to this place.

    My favorite bar in New Orleans that is hyper-focused on crafting the finest cocktails using the finest ingredients. Not just a bar, it has plenty of tables and very good food as well that is always served quickly. The staff is highly skilled and highly knowledgeable about the cocktails and the origins and backgrounds of all of the ingredients.

    Nationally recognized and away from the hustle of downtown, located on Freret Street, Cure is a great spot for a variety of true craft cocktails. We enjoyed several different drinks and small plates during our visit. They also have a nice patio, weather permitting. FYI, in advance, a 20% service charge is added to every check.

    Fun spot on the main drag and awesome happy hour. Cute patio if weather permits and wonderful atmosphere. Trout dip and popcorn are delicious. Whiskey selection is sublime.

    Best cocktail bar experience of our entire trip in NOLA. Chris at the bar was an incredible host. He made us feel welcome, was deeply knowledgeable about the menu, and was a total joy to speak to behind the bar. We will be back no question.

    Indulging in a distinctive drink experience is a must, and this spot stands out as the top choice! The skilled mixologist, Colin, took meticulous care in preparing the drinks, showcasing a level of detail that truly sets this place apart.

    Fantastic place to experience a unique drink without being bothered by the hoi polloi. Bit a great spot to socialize. Not cheap, and not trying to be cheap. Come here if you want to experience alcohol at its fullest potential.

    We loved it here! Top notch drinks Superb wait staff (like really, I can't explain how perfect the service was) Music was perfect - ambiance was just how I would have done it - we ordered the pimento cheese, almonds and drinks Will definitely be back!!

    Often I am excited to try a cocktail bar, being a cocktail bartender myself, and often I am a bit underwhelmed after trying a famous or hyped-up place, but Cure did not disappoint. A perfect patio with a perfect menu and lovely staff. Thank you for writing out the Deauville spec for me!

  • 5/5 Chris H. 2 years ago on Google
    Cure was really good. The cocktails were well crafted and the small plates were all on point as well. The standout for me was the Pimento Cheese plate, but that may be because Pimento Cheese is a rarity on the West Coast. The Cacio e Pepe Deviled Eggs are also so good, almost too good.

  • 5/5 Winston S. 6 months ago on Google
    Fantastic. Excellent creative drinks. We just had small bites but all were well done and delicious. The deviled eggs “cacio e Pepe” and the truffle popcorn were fantastic!!!!

    I came here with a group to have after dinner drinks. One of my friends warned me ahead of time that Cure is in an unmarked building. I struggled to find the entrance and then had to ask other guests if I was where I thought I was lol. The inside area was upscale and the patio area (where we sat) was nicely done as well. I liked the complexity of the cocktail menu, but in some cases it wasn’t clear what all the ingredients were in the drinks (specifically the alcohol). I finally ordered the Spring Fever. It was weak, interesting and confusing at the same time. It then made sense why they choose not to include the specific alcohol…because there probably was none. I’m certain I was given a plain, fruity beverage. The other guests were underwhelmed also. All of that to say, I didn’t see a reason to want to come back here.

    My favorite cocktail bar in the city. I confess that I come for the mushroom toast! Also, the newest addition to their mocktail menu, the Eureka is my favorite mocktail in the city so far!

    Love the atmosphere and the cocktails are exceptional.

  • 4/5 Abigail L. 7 months ago on Google
    Really cool area with a lot of other bars, restaurants, and shops. It's a bit bougie for us and it felt like we didn't belong. The service was okay and the drinks were creative but not amazing. Seems very trendy but very snobby, if that makes any sense. Glad we went just to experience it but I won't go again. Also had to get my phone out to read the menu because it was incredibly dark in there.

  • 3/5 Sidd J. 11 months ago on Google
    We didn’t have food but had drinks, the drinks were alright, I expected more from a place like cure. The atmosphere was pretty good. The service was great tho! Happy hour is worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Taylor S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great cocktail bar! Extensive spirit list and experienced bartenders. Take advantage of the menu or go off book and order something wild.

  • 5/5 Aleah F. 1 year ago on Google
    Cure never disappoints! With the most impressive cocktail menu, you’ll certainly find something that suites your taste. The reserve cocktails are wild and worthy. We never leave town without at least one Cure cocktail!

  • 5/5 John B. 1 year ago on Google
    For those with taste and class that avoid the gutter trash of Bourbon street, impress your loved ones with a reservation at Cure. Spend a few more dollars and you'll be rewarded with drinks better than anything anyone in New Orleans has to offer and an amazing selection of small plates to accompany in between sips. Caviar is excellent, the Extra Baller Old Fashioned is the best you'll have and the Seasonal cocktails will keep you wishing for the night to never end. Spend the evening in a setting more civilized and a menu more fitting for those who value the best of New Orleans.

    This place has wonderful service, a nice warm atmosphere, and the drinks are absolutely amazing! A little pricey, but worth it if you’ve got it! Went with some friends after an art exhibition and had a very nice time.

  • 5/5 Alan A. 4 years ago on Google
    Love the daily happy hour here—including weekends. Classic cocktails are $6 during happy hour and are quite tasty. Sazerac and Tommy’s margaritas were great! Seems like a good place for locals. Not too touristy.

    Nite cap at Cure with my son. First time here...really good service behind the bar. Had a Gin martini, Paloma, The worst kept secret, which is a pretty good drink. We shared a prosciutto appetizer sandwich

  • 4/5 Karl B. 2 years ago on Google
    The drinks were good, if a bit small. I had a grasshopper and it tasted nice. Staff was friendly, but not super attentive. It was very air conditioned inside. A mixed bag on an 80+ degree night, lol.

  • 5/5 Sterling B. 2 years ago on Google
    This place rocks. Vibe is great. Bartenders are knowledgeable, and the cocktails are fantastic. I ordered an old fashioned and then a sazerac, both were phenomenal. Very well done. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a classy vibe with great cocktails.

  • 5/5 Dave H. 2 years ago on Google
    Super cool vibe, excellent cocktails and astonishingly good food. The chicken liver pate was one of the best dishes I've had all year.

  • 5/5 Annie P. 2 years ago on Google
    13/10 recommend! Cure never disappoints. This establishment is on my ‘best of Nola’ list. We came in on Christmas Eve 2021 and got the best service we’ve ever had (mind you- the service is ALWAYS top-notch). Our bartender listened to our likes/dislikes and concocted unique cocktails that weren't on the menu. Her skill was unmatched. Even though they were short-staffed, we never waited and felt as if we were the most important table in the bar. We already loved Cure, but it's #1 on our Nola list now. As for food, we highly recommend the Risotto, deviled eggs, and Pimento cheese. Merry Christmas!

    OH MAN....THE B-E-S-T craft cocktails you could ever dream of!!! I enjoyed a couple "A Study In Scarlet". So good. Also shared cheese plate and deviled eggs. You MUST try this place!! We sat at the bar. Our server was beyond amazing!!

  • 5/5 Shalean C. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible staff, the most inventive (and delicious) drinks in a city known for drinking. From the moment you step through the doors, you know you’ve found something special. Cocktails are added to the menu regularly, the bartenders are not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also kind and engaging, the back patio is lush and welcoming. Only invite people you like to Cure, because you (and they) will want to come back after just one sip.
