Customization is what makes Bywater Bacchanal a fun dining experience. You personally pick a wine bottle straight from their wine cellar and pair it with as many pieces of cheese as you can stomach. Head out to the backyard for live jazz and string-light ambience, and a waiter will deliver your cheese selections with complimentary bread, preserves and nuts. If you want a more substantial meal, Bacchanal also offers an extensive fine dining menu.

It's a New Orleans insider secret and we'd like it to stay that way. It's not at all like a real country club, nary a golf shirt in sight! Instead it used to be a clothing optional bar and swimming patio with a small restaurant as well. It costs $10 on weekdays, $15 on weekends and $8 after 5 p.m 7 days a week. The pool is saline instead of chlorine which makes a world of difference and the place is usually jam packed with lovely young people of all ilks. Tattoos, gender neutral, screaming queens, androgenous beauties...every alt beautiful person in town frequents the Country Club. It's also located in a c.1884 Italianate raised center hall cott
