The Original Nite Cap is an intimate second-floor speakeasy above Pulcinella! in New Orleans' Seventh Ward, revived in 2024 by burlesque performer Bella Blue, her husband Andrew Principe, and partner JD Solomon. It takes its name from a mid-century Nite Cap whose original signage was found during renovation. With roughly 14 bar seats plus tables, it hosts burlesque, drag, comedy, and live music alongside a craft cocktail and Italian wine program. Its zero-proof list is fully built out with named drinks rather than afterthoughts: the Corset Strings (Lyre's NA dark cane, chai cordial, lemon, soda, NA bitters), the Stage Kitten (NA gin, hibiscus cordial, lime, NA bubbles), the Show Stopper (cold brew, coffee demerara, NA gin, foam), and Dazzle 'Em (NA rum, lime, ginger syrup, ginger beer).
