Rice Vice: Part Two
Rice Vice Part Two is a Japanese-inspired sake and cocktail bar that brings Nashville sophistication to New Orleans' Algiers Point neighborhood. Located at 143 Delaronde Street inside the door of Nighthawk Napoletana behind a simple R and V marking, this hidden gem centers on sake from Proper Sake Co., a Nashville-based producer. The intimate space once housed a barbershop and now seats just 18 people, creating an exclusive atmosphere where every drink feels personal. The menu features Proper Sake selections alongside Japanese shochu and a carefully curated cocktail list. The sake knowledge here is genuine, making it accessible for newcomers while rewarding for enthusiasts. Walking across the Mississippi River to Algiers Point feels like stepping outside the tourist zone entirely, adding an adventure element to the visit. While Rice Vice welcomes walk-ins, reservations are recommended given the limited seating. This is a spot for those serious about sake and cocktails, willing to seek out something hidden and distinctive. The combination of quality spirits, knowledgeable service, and intimate setting creates something genuinely special.
