Magdalena

Magdalena is a new concept from Nick Detrich, co-founder of several of New Orleans’ finest cocktail destinations (Jewel of the South, Manolito, Cane & Table),which have been recognized by the World’s 50 Best Bars, James Beard Foundation, and the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards. Detrich is joined in this project by Baylee Pruitt, formerly of Giant (Chicago) and Jaguar Sun (Miami).

Magdalena, located in the Fountain Square neighborhood of Indianapolis, is a cocktail bar and restaurant that has a bit of New Orleans flair.
