You get amazing service at the bar but practically no service at the table and still suggests 18% + tip. Yep, the corner balcony it's nice and the guy at the bar is fast.

Great vibe. Drinks were on par. We didn’t eat here, but we sat on the second floor balcony. I smoked a cigar and views were fantastic.

The cheeseburgers are BLAND literally just meat and grease . The loaded bacon chicken tender cheese fry’s were great though . Plenty of other places you get a well seasoned $12.99 burger from

The atmosphere is extremely inviting and enticing to explore the very unique upstairs bar and kitchen. The drinks are made to order from the first floor bar to the upstairs bar. The bartenders are friendly and generous with their pour of most any liquor you would endeavor.

We had drinks at the bar. Then we sat outside where it was a really nice vibe. The bartender was Great! The Double Rum Punch was tasty, very good & not too sweet. I also had a Hennessy & Margarita and it was Good as well. I will definitely visit again! Sorry I didn't get to try any food but the Atmosphere was a Vibe.

This bar is a good location in Magazine street and also you can find parking very well near around. There are delicious food over there , I have had pizza and burger there which they were so delicious. The bartender in this bar has very friendly characteristics. It is inexpensive place to drink beer and wine. During weekend it is very crowded where I love that. This place is also clean and safe.

The atmosphere is extremely inviting and enticing to explore the very unique upstairs bar and kitchen. The drinks are made to order from the first floor bar to the upstairs bar. The bartenders are friendly and generous with their pour of most any liquor you would endeavor. The food is nothing less than deliciously fresh with very filling portions. From most any type of pizza you could ask for to wraps that make you feel so good. All cooked to order - just give them a try and you'll understand why ! The patrons are so friendly that your tail will wake like the dogs that accompany some of the locals that make this place a no brainerParking: Couldn't be more accessibleWheelchair accessibility: First floor very wheelchair friendly

When this bar went smoke free and vastly improved their beer tap system upstairs I became a much more regular customer with those great additions for many years. Sadly since the lockdowns this bar has just really changed for the worse. I used to really enjoy the upstairs bar and the great balcony but now it just seems to frequently have people that are looking to cause trouble inside. I live near here and used to always stop in when walking past now when I walk past it often appears either empty or has people yelling and screaming in violent tones that I'm not going to even bother with as that's not the NOLA bar vibe I'm looking for. Not so long ago NOLA bars and pubs used to nearly all be happy friendly places with folks just wanting to have a good time but now there are some people just out looking for trouble it seems. The insanely hot Summer heat we've been having also has been impacting any desire for me to frequent this place as they tend to keep the doors open here without much air conditioning which has made it way too hot for me. I keep hoping this joint will return to some semblance of its former self but so far I haven't seen any signs of improvement and the whole block of Magazine here seems to be declining as there are just far fewer people out and about in the area than there were before the lockdowns.

Our plane arrived late so this was the only place near our Airbnb that had food after 10pm.The bartender downstairs charged me $6.50 for my draft beer. Really?We were told food was upstairs. The bar was closed with the stools turned over on the bar top, there were a couple of people on the outdoor terrace, but not an employee to be found. We walked around and found a kitchen with a young man, what looked like sleeping sitting up, behind the counter in a chair. We startled him and ordered a pizza. The best part was the pizza was very good. I couldn't have a 2nd beer because I didn't feel like walking downstairs to the bar to get it.I'm sure this place dies better than this. Unfortunately, not the night we were there. No reason to return on our next trip to NOLA.
