The editorial take

Cork Wine & Martini Bar runs a serious martini program with a dozen-plus variations, from a Blueberry Cosmo to an Espresso Martini, alongside classic cocktails like Sazerac and Manhattan. The wine list spans by-the-glass and bottle options with wine on tap, while draft beer leans on Louisiana breweries. Happy hour pricing on drinks and appetizers adds value. Expect a bar that knows its cocktails and pours a well-regarded dirty martini.

What should I order?
Start with the Dirty Martini, which customers have called the best they've had since moving to Louisiana. For a classic with structure, the Old Fashion uses Buffalo Trace; the Sazerac pairs Sazerac Rye with Herbsaint. If wine is the goal, DAOU Cabernet by the glass or a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Brut covers both ends.
Who will enjoy this place?
Martini drinkers will find a broad range from sweet to savory, including picks like Lemon Drop and Espresso. Wine enthusiasts can explore by-the-glass options or splurge on a bottle of Veuve Clicquot. Beer fans will appreciate local Louisiana drafts.
When should I go?
Happy hour offers specially priced wines, martinis, and appetizers, making it a good time to sample multiple drinks.
What should I expect to spend?
Martinis run $10-$13; signature cocktails $8-$16. Wines by the glass are $7-$14, bottles $20-$205. Draft beers are $6-$7.50.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
The dual focus on wine and handcrafted martinis sets the tone, with wine on tap and a martini list that includes creative options like Blueberry Cosmo and French Kiss. Local beer selection adds a Louisiana touch.
