The wine itself is very organized so if you know what you like you can find it, but definitively ask their opinions. Even if you don't know what you like they can steer you in the right direction. We like to go and hang and sample the glass pour menu. They always have good selections. Every time we've been they had seating inside for whatever sized group we had. They also have some window seating to sit and people watch.

The friendly, welcoming vibe makes it feel like home, and the staff is genuinely wonderful. After grabbing a drink, I set up my laptop and dive into work, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. While they don't serve food, they allow you to bring your own if you make a purchase--such a nice touch! I've tried just about every beer on their menu, and now I'm ready to explore their selection of Orange wine. This spot is a refreshing change from the usual coffee shops, and I'm so glad I found it. Highly recommend if you're looking for a unique, relaxed place to un(wine ) or get some work done! Special thanks to Erin, I'm sorry if I misspelled her name, but she is amazing every time I see her!

We started with the bottomless mimosas, which were only $25 and absolutely worth it. For appetizers, we ordered the corn and crawfish bisque and the Louisiana crawfish beignets. Those beignets were so good--OMG! I would honestly go back just for them. They were packed with flavorful crawfish and cooked perfectly. For my entrée, I had the steak and eggs and substituted the sunny-side-up eggs for scrambled eggs. Everything was delicious, and the steak was cooked just right. The atmosphere was fantastic as well. The music kept the vibes going the entire time, and they definitely know how to do brunch. Even the bathroom was stunning! Between the food, drinks, ambiance, and service, we had an amazing experience and will definitely be back.

Looking around, the place was so pretty and green, with a lot of natural lighting due to there being many windows and open doors. Once we sat our waiter came and once he heard it was our first time there, he instantly offered recommendations to us and gave us plenty of time to order. I ordered the Cubano sandwhich, crawfish beignets, and regular beignets. Everything was so good! The sandwhich came with fries as part of the order and they were crispy to perfection. The crawfish beignets are more like hush puppies though so keep that in mind! The regular beignets had a good flasky crust to them and were so pillowy. I would definitely come back to try their dinner menu!

Took an Uber there, as that's probably the best strategy for visiting anything in the Marigny or Bywater neighborhoods. Basically, it's an eclectic old house with a cool backyard dining area with the kinds of chairs you remember from elementary school. Local guitarist was playing a set for diners that afternoon on the stage. Front of the house full of different wines and the guy behind the counter was nice enough to suggest a good pairing with what we ordered to eat. My grilled pork chop with balsamic reduction was excellent. The perfect cut for such a dish. My wife loved her orechiette pasta and appetizer plate of olives. The white wine suggested to us was cold and refreshing. Everything matched well and the umbrella tables were clutch in the sun and heat of early summer. Hope to make it back for my next vacay

We joined them in the courtyard, which had a giant canopy set up overhead protecting them (and us) from the pouring rain. It was such a fun, impromptu, New Orleans experience, dancing to the band and enjoying a wonderful glass of wine and champagne cocktail from the bar. They have a very extensive wine list, over 50 wines by the glass, many reasonably priced. It has an upscale, luxurious, yet comfortable vibe. It is small, so fills up quickly. Really wonderful time here on our first night of Jazzfest.

Patrick serves a wonderful traditional Sazerac. We stopped by after enjoying preservation hall jazz for a cocktail to relax. A second hidden gem, Patrick's is connected and has a interior entrance to a beautiful courtyard. You can sit and enjoy your drink, in the relaxing courtyard. We sat in the courtyard, looking up to see stars over our head. I'm always amazed that in the courtyard. It is quiet the noise of bourbon street and festivities in the streets are eliminated. Enjoy your drink, relax, and enjoy Patrick's excellent bar.

Although the bartender was a bit flushed from this new gig she was nice enough to let us try some things. Drinks were 5/10 for the pricing, but that's normal during Mardi Gras!

There's a balcony that you can relax on for free, with visuals of intimate activities that range from BDSM to DDLG (Daddy dom/Little girl). Needless to say, this wouldn't be suitable for anyone who isn't comfortable with that kind of artwork. This place advertises burlesque shows and "Shibari", however I did not see any of that during my visit. I do not dock points though because I'm certain there's a schedule that shows when these events occur. If you're interested in seeing one, best to make sure when they're taking place. There are security cameras all over the bar so this location can remain sex-positive and safe for guests. After ordering myself a drink, I chose to relax in their bright pink room with the large bean bag and teddy bear. This was my favorite spot for its light-hearted and playful atmosphere, although the room next to it was pretty exciting as well--with its black-and-white paintings of kinky exhibitionists. During my visit, I noticed that there was a collection of leftover glasses from previous guests. Since it was a slow Sunday night, I thought there would've been ample time for an employee to clean up that area beforehand. There was one barista that night, and while she was kind and made excellent cocktails, her voice was really low--making it difficult to hear her over the music. I'm glad the bar was empty, or else I may have not been able to hear her properly. Aside from those minor concerns with cleanliness and communication, I'd still say to give Fetiche Nola a shot if you're looking for a unique place to start off a long night of partying. With its creative cocktail selection along with its sexually inclusive vibes, you could be sure to have one heck of a time!
