What's a loungerie? That’s been a question since we learned just such a thing was taking shape in downtown New Orleans at the new Jolie, which opened in December.
The short answer is a lounge crossed with a brasserie, a place where cocktails are the focus, alongside a well-composed menu that can furnish gorgeous drinking food but can also go much further.

While the Warehouse District has many upscale restaurants for cocktails and some late-night options, Jolie is working the territory in between. Andrew Duncan, one of Jolie's managing partners, landed on the loungerie term as a way to mark that niche.

In the Warehouse District, Jolie blends elements of a cocktail lounge and restaurant for a stylish niche of its own. (Staff photo by Ian McNulty, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune)
The old warehouse building, formerly home to World of Beer, gives little away from the street. Inside the long room is a feast of stylish flair and detail, one filled with cocktails and also performances that range from live music to circus arts (more on that below).

Jolie is a lounge with cocktails, an inventive menu and a stylish feel in the Warehouse District. (Contributed photo by Kat Kimball)
Manager Kiah Darion (from Bar Marilou and the Hotel Saint Vincent prior) and beverage director Will Lester have an extensive cocktail menu that is by turns classic and modern, elegant and playful.

The cocktail dubbed smoke (front) carries a redolent aroma through its mezcal base at Jolie in the Warehouse District. (Staff photo by Ian McNulty, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune)
The mezcal-based cocktail called smoke pulls off a beguiling trick with a strong aroma of smoke, but also a lighter, cleaner finish.
Another called air stands like a scotch-based whiskey sour with a whip of salted foam capping a blend of citrusy, umami flavors.

The house take on the French 75 cocktail has a baggie of Pop Rocks candy riding along the side. (Staff photo by Ian McNulty, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune)
The house take on the French 75 comes with a suspicious little baggie filled with nothing more illicit than Pop Rocks that crackle between the bubbles.
On the menu
Jolie’s kitchen is led by chef de cuisine Adrian Martinez and sous chef Indigo Martin. The idea here is to take French standards and blend influences and flavors around the world.

Escargot with curry is a modern preparation at Jolie in the Warehouse District. (Staff photo by Ian McNulty, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune)
One dish that demonstrates this in striking fashion is the escargot with curry butter with cilantro and mint, which adds both spice and a brighter, lighter feel to escargot.

Foie gras toasts make elegant drinking food at Jolie in the Warehouse District. (Staff photo by Ian McNulty, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune)
The foie gras toast makes for a perfect bite of food, or maybe two bites. It’s whipped for an aerated burst of flavor with the essence of foie gras but in lighter form, with the toasty tang of sourdough rounds underneath.

Beef carpaccio is part of the menu at Jolie in the Warehouse District. (Staff photo by Ian McNulty, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune)
The beef carpaccio appears to be painted on the plate in vanishing-thin slices, augmented flavors that dance across the palate, especially the cured egg yolk and smoked sea salt.
The yellowfin tuna crudo has the same effect, but with ocean freshness sparked up by chile crunch.
