Spirited , inviting , jovial , engaging : these are just some of the words that come to mind when speaking of Twelve Mile Limit , the Mid-City locals ’ favorite dive bar that ’ s been serving up creative cocktails since 2010 . Owner T . Cole Newton , who earned a name for himself as a talented mixologist prior to founding Twelve Mile Limit , has managed to artfully blend all of the key ingredients needed to make customers happy and keep them coming back time and time again . From the well-crafted , creative cocktails that won ’ t break the bank and food pop-ups serving up delectable bar food to its fun-filled weekly events and focus on social and environmental responsibility , Twelve Mile goes miles beyond to exceed expectations .
