“Jewel of the South, the 2024 recipient of the prestigious James Beard Award for Outstanding Bar, is a classic New Orleans tavern, reimagined. The Proprietors are in this business because they love hospitality. The Owners love to host, love to serve, and mostly love the power of hospitality to bring people together to celebrate, commiserate, and communicate. No matter where you are from or where you are going, Jewel of the South looks forward to creating a memorable experience with guests in their home.”“Cocktails, food, and wine at Jewel are prepared and presented with intention and precision. Their award-winning cocktail program is steeped in history, showcasing classic techniques with innovative, seasonal flavors. The food program seeks out unique products that deliver delicious nourishment for their guests, such as a broad range of caviars, whole vegetables, and diverse animal proteins. The menu changes regularly. Jewel’s wine program features classic labels, cult favorites, and new talent, limited to the best value available for wine that should be consumed tonight.”

“Jewel of the South is owned by partners Chris Hannah, Victoria Espinel, and John Stubbs. Hannah directs Jewel’s award-winning cocktail program and is a daily presence at 1026 Saint Louis Street. The culinary program is led by Chef Philip Whitmarsh. Paul Greagoff is the General Manager.” John Stubbs continues with us sharing all that is Jewel of the South in the French Quarter.
