Manolito

Manolito is a spirited Cuban cocktail bar in the French Quarter specializing in blended and thrown drinks inspired by legendary Havana bartenders. Named after Manuel Carbajo Aguiar, an iconic cantinero from El Floridita in Havana, the intimate venue has established itself on New Orleans' cocktail map for exceptional drinks and island flavors. Owned by respected bar operators Chris Hannah, Nick Detrich and Konrad Kantor, the bar has recently undergone major expansion that doubled its indoor space and tripled seating when accounting for the courtyard. The tiny-turned-substantial spot maintains its focus on authenticity and the craft of Cuban mixology.
