"Rare Form is a hidden gem on Frenchmen Street! There's never a cover charge, and it's never as crowded as the other bars in the area. The live music is outstanding, especially with the Steve Mignano Band delivering incredible blues rock every Saturday night. He might just be the best guitarist in the French Quarter, which is saying something given the wealth of musical talent in New Orleans! The bartenders, Casey and Patrick, are fantastic—both super friendly and easygoing, which enhances the overall atmosphere. You really feel like you're among friends here, with none of the attitude you might encounter at some Bourbon Street bars. The drink prices are quite reasonable, especially for such strong cocktails! The food menu often changes, but I’ve dined here multiple times, and it has always been very good with minimal wait times. On weekends, they host jazz brunches featuring bottomless mimosas! I genuinely can’t say enough positive things about this bar. It’s definitely my favorite on Frenchmen!"
