Eating and Drinking Through New Orleans!: Uptown

On the lakeside of St Charles is Uptown, an area of New Orleans under revival centered around Freret and Oak Streets - and my next trip out there will continue my exploration. Here is what I have found thus far. Decent areas out here for inexpensive lodging in AirBnB as well.

Bar Frances is a great brunch spot on Freret Street - excellent wine list and Happy Hour. Food specials are enticing. 4525 Freret @ Cadiz

There are a few other places across the street that require a visit as well. Wayfare at 4510 Freret is a good option!

The Company Burger generates a lot of buzz in the City and rightly so...if you must have a burger, it is either here or Port of Call on the FQ/Marigny line. Good cocktails options and a Happy Hour from 3-6pm. 4600 Freret @ Cadiz

Mojo Coffee House has two locations, but when i stayed Uptown in 2016 I must have gone to the Uptown location about five times! Some of the best coffee in the City rivaled by French Truck on Magazine in the LGD. 4700 Freret @ Valence. (Other locations - flagship location LGD 1500 Magazine and at 931 Canal)

Cure has great cocktails and extremely knowledgeable bartenders and staff. Got to love a place with the 3-7 weekend Happy Hour, and the food and drink specials are worth checking out. Drinks are interestingly named as well. Cure is one of two great NOLA spots in the same restaurant group including Cane and Table. 4905 Freret @ Upperline

Snake and Jake's Christmas Club Lounge is only a 'lounge' in name. This is a straight up bar open from 7pm to 7am. Seven ay em! Drinks are cheap, and the place has Christmas lights on year around. They boast their bar as 'your late night dive' and that is accurately named. I arrived at 130am and when I left at 5am it was twice as packed! 7612 Oak Street @ Hillary near Tulane. Streetcar stop is 5 semi-short stumbling blocks away!

Oak Street is famous on the River Bend area of the City for a couple things for sure. Before gigs, dig in for a New Orleans tradition at Jacques-Imo's - popular on the tourist circuit, so be prepared to wait for a little while. Always jammin' and a good spot to get a filling meal before heading into the Maple Leaf next door. 8324 Oak Street @ Cambronne

Maple Leaf Bar is known and made famous for the Rebirth Brass Band that play here every Tuesday night. Drinks are cheap and the place gets packed for the first set. Between sets and post-show, the ladies gather across the street with the ultimate assortment of local classics of red beans/rice, jambalaya, cobbler, etc. Get your fill here before taking the streetcar or taxi/Uber back into town.
