W hen Jewel of the South first opened in March 2019 on the edge of the French Quarter, its owners were already looking ahead to its next phase. Occupying the first floor of an early 19th century Creole cottage, the cocktail spot created by New Orleans bartending sensations Chris Hannah and Nick Detrich, underwent a considerable transformation. Within its first year, Hannah, Detrich, and business partner John Stubbs unveiled the new Jewel of the South, a restaurant located upstairs, and The Grove, a cozy 32-seat lounge serving classic and craft cocktails alongside light bar bites on the first floor.
