- JJennyVIPNew Orleans / Louisiana •1 review5.0Dined on May 3, 2025We stumbled into Bar Ocelli on a date night in January—and it instantly became a favourite. Tia welcomed us with the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like you’re a regular, even if it’s your first visit. And then there’s Isaac—the bartender who quickly became our absolute favourite in the city. Watching him craft cocktails is like witnessing poetry in motion. You can feel how much he loves what he does, and that passion shows up in every pour, every garnish, every sip. We went back a couple weeks ago before heading to Ember (also incredible), and again last night with girlfriends, and every single time the moment we walked through the door, Tia and Isaac greeted us like old friends. That feeling? It’s rare—and we love it. Bar Ocelli is a gem in the Byward Market. Cozy, stylish, soulful—and home to two of the best in the business. We’ll be back again and again.More infoBar OcelliPrice: Very Expensive• Cocktail Bar• ByWard Market•4.7
