Hottest bar openings in January 2020
Double Dealer, New Orleans
Opening beneath New Orleans’ Orpheum Theater, Double Dealer is the city’s latest lively basement-level bar and lounge.
Accessed through an unmarked side entrance of the Orpheum, the Double Dealer aims to pay homage to New Orleans’ ‘counter culture’. The bar is made up of four distinct rooms, each offering innovative cocktails and live entertainment.
The Double Dealer’s cocktail programme, curated by bar director Miki Nikolic, features drinks such as The Shining Pyramid, made with Tequila, prickly pear purée, maraschino, hibiscus syrup and lime juice, and Cables of Cobweb, which combines rum, grapefruit shrub, lemon juice, simple syrup and bitters.
