New Orleans
Bar UnCommon
Renaissance Pere Marquette Hotel
New Orleans, LA, 70112, United States
Located in the Renaissance Pere Marquette Hotel, Bar Uncommon serves classic and original cocktails created by acclaimed fourth-generation bartender Chris McMillan. The bar is sleek and stylish, with bright red furniture, black-and-white-patterned pillows, candlelit tables, and an installation of glass orbs hanging from the ceiling. However, the main focus here is the cocktail selection. There’s no menu; McMillan either creates a drink based on the customer’s preference or reinvents a classic with his own recipe and fresh seasonal ingredients. Favorites include the Pimm’s Cup and McMillan’s original Gin Deaux, made with Plymouth gin, candied ginger, and lemon juice.
Insider Tip:
Order a mint julep and watch McMillan muddle the mint while reciting Kentucky journalist Joshua Soule Smith’s ode to the julep.
