"Lagniappe is proof that not all wine bars are quiet, dim places that feel like libraries. This place gets packed both inside—where you’ll find a weekly rotation of great jazz and plenty of good wine in a slightly cramped space—and outside, which is a back patio that all other back patios should aspire to be. It’s hard to get one of those outdoor tables on the weekend. So come early (like, 6pm) or just do laps until you see an opening. You can find bottles of wine between $30 and $40 and there's also beer (statistically cheaper). A night spent drinking wine and eating cheese here really satisfies all the senses, and is, of course, super cute. " - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
