The absolute best team - they lead with kindness and considered recommendations. I'd recommend this spot for anyone -- local or visitor. Ask for Zoe to make you a cocktail. She has real talent! Good people, delicious food, and fanciful cocktails across the board. A+++ read more

We wanna love this place We do Idk... Prices are high for what you get The apps are SMALL! Like small small plate... Wine pores are small dependent upon who serves you - Atmosphere is very nice Needs a better updated menu and some more wine selections by the glass read more

Absolutely love this bar! Just went for my first time the other day, but i'll definitely be back. Spinning records and low lighting makes for a really great vibe and date spot. I honestly would probably enjoy coming here by myself as well. The burger and hush puppies are to diee for AND they were serving up my favorite oysters-- murder points. They didn't serve them with crackers, but I also didn't ask for any-- they did have a delicious vinaigrette shallot mixture to put on top though. On top of all that delicious food, Alex provided exceptional service and made some amazing drinks. I tried the fig old-fashioned and I highly recommend. My friend had the gin and tonic, which was also really good and very refreshing. I can't wait to come back, try more tasty foods/drinks, and enjoy the lovely atmosphere. read more

Very cute tavern I stumbled across after dinner. We decided to have a few cocktails and a few oysters. The dirty martini was phenomenally and my G&T was great, definitely will be dropping a few cardamom in mine at home from now on. The oyster selection was great we had a mix of gulf and east coast! Our service was the best part the bartender was super sweet and I really enjoyed her!! read more

Bouligny Tavern - Dozen Oysters - Wine Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Cute, upscale neighborhood spot. We come for the cocktails and the people watching! Located on a cute corner of Magazine St.

A friend invited me here after a rehearsal and I was so disappointed I had already eaten. This cool little light spot is such a vibe. We caught the little set up near the door and it was a perfect spot for conversation and eating. Our waitress was attentive and kept our glasses full. Everyone raved over the burger and I can't wait to go back and try it. I did the try the crab claws and they were great: well seasoned and buttery. The drinks were refreshing with the perfect blend of alcohol and mixer. Can't wait to go back with husband. read more

This looks amazing! Great ambience! We were referred by the bartenders at Commander's Palace. As a visitor to the city, being asked to wait for my table anywhere but on the premises during a rain storm is a major hospitality fail. Would have love to have dinner here! read more

We love bouligny's! Favorite burger in the city. Service is always good, and drinks are always delicious. Such a lovely place.

Best burger I've had in years. Sick of smash burgers, and private equity meat....this was not that. Great char on the burger, telling med/medium well/ rare actually matters, great toppings, including I believe a red onion aioli and toasted crispy they gave a shit when making it bread. Absolutely coming back and will add fries next time because the couple next to me was tearing theirs up! Also they are open until 1am. read more

On a stroll through the charming streets of New Orleans' Garden District, we found our way to Bouligny Tavern, an awesome spot in an elegant mid-century modern building on Magazine Street. Opened in 2010, Bouligny Tavern is named after one of the first Creole plantations in the area. After admiring the historic mansions and lush oak trees on our walk, this spot was the perfect place to grab a drink. The atmosphere is sleek with dim lighting. I was in the mood for an Old Fashioned, and their fig variation was a great change up. Our bartender was equally fantastic--attentive and knowledgeable on bourbons. If you're in the Garden District, check this spot out. We just had a drink but they serve food as well. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. We had an amazing experience. The food and drinks were spectacular, and the service was impeccable. Even the delightful manager, Michael, checked in to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. I also loved the wall behind the bartender, very cool! This ended up being one of my favorite restaurants from our vacation. read more

Bouligny Tavern was amazing! Unfortunately, I did not get any pictures of the food because we consumed it too quickly... we had their sirloin burger, fries, hush puppies. They were so good! For dessert we had the brownie and the butter cake! The butter cake was amazing! The brownie a bit dry. I think the brownie would've been much better with ice cream. However, all in all the food was 10 out of 10 would recommend! As for drinks, we tried just about everything on the menu, and I would highly recommend anything with gin in it! While the food was amazing, the service was a bit slow... As this was my first time, that's what I can say. However, I was visiting family who has been here multiple times and they were surprised by the slow service. So my assumption is that it is not slow service typically. Our waitress was awesome and very polite! I really enjoyed the ambience of this restaurant! We were sat outside. I enjoyed the outdoor lighting and the music they were playing. Some might think the music was too loud, but I thought it was perfect! Would I recommend this place to other others? YES! I will be going back! read more

Great atmosphere! Drinks were good, the fig old fashioned is delicious. Food is also very good with generous portions!

Disappointed with recent visit. A friend had a party and when it was over we wanted to "after party." I can't speak for everyone's behavior however, we've been hosted as a Krewe here previously and many of our members come here often-even if there's no social events going on. We were greeted with hostility and made to feel very unwelcome. After one round, decided to go somewhere friendlier and settling tabs, or even individual drinks was met with the same curt responses and irritation. Being in the industry myself I really tried to give the benefit of the doubt in this situation but it was clear that they didn't want to take care of anyone. In conversations since, the response has been "oh they're known for their sh!tty attitude." Guess we're not the only ones who have experienced this low level of service. Would have preferred to email a manager directly, but no contact info was listed on the website. read more

Great drinks and ambiance! However, food was good but not great. Asked for medium rare burger and received medium well temperature. Not a big deal but holy batman slow down on the salt on all your dishes. Will try again and give another chance as Bouligny seems like a great runned operation as well as has a fantastic location! read more

Had a very nice dinner here recently. All of the food was delicious, especially the panzanella salad and beef bruschetta. I could have skilled the Gougères only because they were somewhat plain compared to everything else. We got to sit on the front porch which was perfect with the heat lamp next to us. Would definitely come back next time I'm in New Orleans. read more

We were looking for food and happened on this lovely spot. Welcoming and great ambiance, we loved the records spinning behind the bar. Our drinks were delicious, and we all agreed they had the best hush puppies we'd ever had. read more

What happened? This place was so good for years. It's dirty now and the bathroom at Mrs Mae's smells better. I hope they turn things around.

I recently provided sound for an event at BT and let me tell you this place is a vibe. The food and drink were absolutely amazing. But more than that, the staff was absolutely incredible. From the owner (John) to mgmt (Craig) to the servers, waitresses, cooks, and cleaners, everyone was so damn friendly. I always enjoy places where you can tell everyone on the team truly takes pride in what they're doing and is passionate about it too. I can't wait to take my wife there ASAP . Cheers. read more

New Orleans The hostess and waitress were very sweet and helpful. I ate gougere, fries and sirloin burger. Hubbie had oysters and duck confit. They do have a small menu but that's ok cuz it it a bar more so than a restaurant. It is the BEST burger I've had. Honestly. A plus on that thing so were the fries which my hubbie kept stealing. He loved the oysters too. Said the duck confit was solid. Gourgeres were solid ask for Dijon with them. This cute little bar plays LPs! Such a wonderful touch. read more

I visited this bar for a nightcap. Located on historic Magazine St. gives it a gold star in my book. The bar is quaint, cozy and intimate. It lends itself to engaging conversations and a relaxing evening. Until next time! read more

Over priced, small portions and weird ambiance. Our table of four ordered the brie and mushrooms appetizer to share (which was $18) and it came with barely two slices of brie. That's really not acceptable honestly... We also got the hush puppies which were very good! Our server was also great. But everything was over priced and the ambiance inside feels like a hotel bar ‍ read more

Not gonna lie, the staff were amazing. Food, not good. Subpar, just felt very rushed. And our crab claws smelled fishy. Idk yall.

Food was great, recommend the burger! Whiskey old fashioned were perfect. Jordan is one of the best bartenders in the city!

Substituted the mezcal for another type of tequila & it was even better. Major thanks to the barkeep for letting me experiment! A delightful visit. read more

Love this place on Magazine Street! Best craft cocktails, great apps and the best part is they play vinyls all night long. The Negroni was delicious and so were the appetizers (wings, devil eggs, crab claws). I usually sit at the bar and service is always good. Love the vibes for sure. read more

Great ambiance and service! Burger was perfectly cooked and delicious. Great drinks. Ideal spot for date night. Will visit again.

Love love love this place. Vibe and ambiance are on point for what I want in the evening-low lighting, small intimate areas, beautiful place. Service was attentive and the servers were very personable, drinks delivered pretty quickly. Drinks were awesome. My favorite dirty martini in town, with house-stuffed blue cheese olives that will make you keep ordering more! All the other drinks we had were complex and lively as well. They have food too which looked and smelled amazing, though we didn't eat this time. Plan to be back soon! read more

Just happened to visit this tavern on the night when a random storm dampened the city. They lost power in the restaurant and it suddenly felt like a party. The service was friendly and prompt. My shrimp roll was excellent. A friend ordered some fries that were cooked to perfection. Despite the dark, stormy few minutes we endured, it was a great night in the tavern. read more

On our first visit to Bouligny Tavern, it was wonderful-great food, great service and great energy. Returning there a couple weeks ago it was disappointing. The hostess that seated us was lovely and her smile very welcoming. It took forever for our server to come take our drink order. Her was somewhat attentive, but hardly had any personality-maybe he was depressed. The food was good so I haven't any complaints there. I'll give it another try as the atmosphere is fun. read more

Overall 4.5 Stars, and would go back. Stopped in on a whim with friends after another event since I'd never been before. I was immediately struck by the ambiance and would stop in for drinks just for the ambiance next time. Ambiance: 5 stars. Feels like you're stepping back in time with the furniture, lighting, records playing (love the sound of vinyl), and even the smells. Really great space to grab a drink, hang with friends, go on a date, sit at the table or at a bar. You can't go wrong with the ambiance. Service: 5 stars. Everyone was very nice. The food came out awkwardly - kitchen forgot to make something at one point, and my second drink wasn't the best - but overall the service was very good; everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. Drinks: 4.5 stars. Beautiful Lie was amazingly delicious the first time I tried it; way too bitter the second time I tried so I switch to Rose - they have great wine selections, so that was still a solid choice. Food: 3.5 stars. This is where a 1/2 star was docked. Based on price, I just kinda wanted more from the food. I ordered the Beet Cured Salmon (rye blinis not good at all, deconstruction was slightly odd, but Salmon itself was delicious); raw oysters (very good); and snack trio (decent and feels expensive at $7 for the very, very small amount received of each item - none of which seem super special between olives, almonds and popcorn; you don't even get a handful of each). Others I was with ordered burgers, which they said were good and a salad that someone said was pretty good as well. I think I just need to maybe try different things on the menu. Overall would come back, but will order something different. read more

If you haven't been here, you need to! Excellent service and a great atmosphere! The bartenders are very creative and if your not sure about what to drink, just name your booze and they'll whip you up something delicious! We have been several times now (reservations recommended, especially on the weekends), and it's certainly one of my favorite spots. I recommend the Axe in the Attic, very strong but very tasty. The wings are probably my favorite that I've come across in the city and make sure you try the coconut cake!! read more

We found this place when looking for late night food options thag weren't in the French quarter. We were pleasantly surprised that they had the type of food we were looking for. Their place is on a quaint street in uptown and it's my favorite kind of neighborhood. We sat outside and it was a lovely option. They have a decent wine list but we didn't go for a bottle. We tried many apps and we loved the Bert cured salmon, the pate, the French onion dip, and the wings. I would definitely venture back to this place to try more of their food. Late night food can still be classy! read more

A group of myself and some others headed in here for a drink and some appetizers. We were kicked out of the restaurant as a whole because one of us did not have an ID as her wallet was stolen earlier that same day. We are college alumni who have been to multiple different restaurants on Magazine and never had an issue. We are not underage and aside from her, every single one of us showed a valid ID. The staff was extremely rude and we were kicked out of the tavern. Extremely disappointed. read more
