Some Gulf Coast places announce themselves from the road. The Julep Room makes you go looking for it. Begin outside beneath the oaks, with a view of Fort Bayou. If you arrive around sunset, it’s tempting to linger there. Then head downstairs beneath Aunt Jenny’s Catfish Restaurant, and the evening takes on a different feel. The Julep Room is small and intimate: a place to order a drink, find a seat and actually listen when someone steps up to perform.
