ABOUT

THE TELL ME BAR is a natural wine bar located at 1235 Saint Thomas Street, in the Lower Garden District of New Orleans. Set against the backdrop of a sweeping brutalist highwayscape, The Tell Me Bar is an intimate & casual hang out spot with a large patio and a tropical mid-century Italian vibe. We are a space for all people to gather; a fertile ground for the cultivation of conversation about wine & beyond.

We feature live djs, local food popups, special wine events and offer the space for private parties.

Uznea Bauer

Uznea started out at Bacchanal, where she started learning about wine while serving cheese plates. Over time she realized its complexity and got hooked, developing a passion so encompassing that she ended up running the wine program there. Her curiosity led her to France & Oregon for winemaking internships and in-between these travels, she began hosting experimental residencies & wine pop-ups around town with locally popular chefs and Dj’s, which evolved into what is now THE TELL ME BAR.

Cory Cartwright

Cory once drank a bottle of wine that changed his life so much that he left his job and started a wine importing company. He’s still chasing that feeling and THE TELL ME BAR is the current part of that journey.
