The granddaddy of all bartenders, Chris McMillian, can be found behind the bar at this French Quarter celebrity haunt (Beyonce and Jay-Z are among its loyal fans). The restaurant’s punched-tin ceilings and wall-sized photo of Huey Long give the bar a throwback vibe, while the drinks focus in on New Orleans classics, like Brandy Milk Punch, with simple twists.
