Barrel Proof Reviews
Loved this place! Fun atmosphere, great festive drinks, and beautiful decor!
Will definitely be back! ❤️💚❤️
Cozy ambience with a unique, delicious drink menu. They also offer their kitchen to local food businesses, and the Asian fusion one there when I went was phenomenal. Donavin makes a wonderful drink called “Thank You for Being a Friend” with Louisiana run, almond, passionfruit, and smoky amaro – must try! I was in town for the Home + Garden Show, and Barrel Proof was the perfect unwind!
Cool Holiday Drinks. Love the decor here. Beer list is non existent not sure why. No flavored vodkas.

Barrel Proof is a popular bourbon bar in New Orleans, known for its large and impressive collection of bourbon and whiskey. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, making it easy to find a good drink. The venue offers a good whiskey selection, including Old Carter, Willet, and 4Roses, at a reasonable price. It is also a great place to enjoy cocktails, with bartenders able to make almost any drink. The lighting is very dim, creating a good vibe, especially on less busy nights. The food options vary depending on the week, and the atmosphere is often lively. However, on busy nights, it can be hard to get a drink due to the crowd. Accessibility is limited, with a steep ramp and restricted bathroom clearance for wheelchair users. Despite these challenges, Barrel Proof remains a favorite spot for whiskey enthusiasts and those looking for a casual, fun night out.
