Live music and standing room
Live music defines Buddy Guy's Legends, a standalone bar in a historic building with a loud room. Seated bar, lounge seating and standing room make it better suited to a music-led outing than a quiet catch-up.
Sazerac, Hurricane and craft beer
Sazerac and Hurricane anchor the named cocktails, alongside classic cocktails, craft beer and conventional wine. Casual dress and casual service keep the planning frame relaxed.
