Justini’s in New Orleans feels like stepping into a Gatsby party, but with way better cocktails and fewer questionable decisions. The vibe is effortlessly chic, the lighting is perfect for selfies, and the bartenders mix drinks like they’re casting spells. Try the “Espresso Martini Flight”—it’s vanilla, traditional , and death by chocolate! Bonus points for their playlist, which has just the right amount of throwback jams to get you vibing. Perfect spot for dates, catch-ups, or pretending you’re cooler than you are.
