Every July, NOLA becomes the world’s hotspot for cocktail culture when Tales rolls into town a with a week-long celebration of all things hospitality. This year at Barrel Proof, we packed the week with amazing pop-ups and collars, welcoming some of the best in the industry. We poured it up with top-tier talent from Nickel City, Allegory and Mirate—just to name a few. Our week had a grand finale—a Rodeo Clown Drag Show. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it a week to remember.

We couldn’t let summer slip away without raising a glass to 11 incredible years of Barrel Proof. Thanks to our community, friends, and family for keeping the good times rolling…here’s to the next round!

Mini margs to kick things off, full old fashioneds to carry you through, and plenty of reasons to come hang with us during the best happy hour in New Orleans.

We wouldn’t be us without you. Our gratitude program is all about showing love back to the people who show up for us. Regulars can expect surprise perks, exclusive treats, and little thank-yous along the way.
