Are These The Ten Best Bars in New Orleans?

The Times-Pic has just released its second-ever list of the 10 best bars in New Orleans. Last year the team also named the best neighborhood bars, dives, wine bars and more subcategories, but this year's Summer Bar Guide extravaganza just sticks to the top ten, along with the 25 best bars in the Quarter, and the 5 best new bars in town.

No huge surprises on the overall top ten. The criteria: No dance clubs, restaurant bars where people feel inclined to order food, or music venues that charge a cover, just good old bars that "represent the drinking culture of the city."  Six of the bars also made last year's list.
