Beachbum Berry's Latitude 29
Beachbum Berry's Latitude 29 transports you to a tropical paradise in the heart of the French Quarter, where exotic cocktails and Polynesian cuisine reign supreme. Named after Jeff "Beachbum" Berry, the world's premier authority on tiki cocktails, the restaurant delivers authenticity that you won't find in most tiki bars. The legendary Zombies, Mai Tais, and other lost exotic drinks have been meticulously researched and recreated by Berry, who spent two decades unearthing these classic recipes. The cuisine pairs perfectly with the drinks, offering PolynAsian-inspired dishes that celebrate tiki culture's eclectic spirit. Located in the Bienville House Hotel at 321 N. Peters Street, the venue opened in 2014 and earned recognition as one of the Best Bars in America from Esquire magazine just months later. The atmosphere captures the escapist fantasy of mid-century tiki bars while maintaining a welcoming, educational approach to the genre. Whether you're a cocktail historian seeking authentic preparations or simply someone who wants to escape the everyday, Latitude 29 delivers an immersive tiki experience. The knowledgeable staff can guide you through the menu, explaining the history and preparation of each drink with genuine passion for the craft.
