Now open again 24/7! No joke! Great bar! Drag shows that slay! Inexpensive drinks! Great people!

For a place that touts inclusivity I had a dramatically opposite experience. Upon walking in, I was verbally attacked by a patron at the bar, and told to “get out” for what I can only assume is the fact that I’m a cis-female. Extremely disappointing as a lifelong supporter of the LGBTQ community

Been visiting here for years and it's still one of my favourite bars in the quarter. Friendly service and good value for money.

Great small bar with great prices and always an interesting and fun group drinking here... have met many new friends here.... now depending on the bartender that day/evening that is working, your service can greatly change from great to slow to being ignored... if you have a preference of an age or skin tone of who you serve.... you should not be in the service business!

From the moment I walked in, I felt like a regular. The bartender's local and genuine greeting instantly put me at ease. The cozy atmosphere, friendly patrons, and lively conversation made it easy to strike up conversations and feel part of the community. Whether you're flying solo or with a group, this bar is a guaranteed good time.

Came in and instantly felt an amazing atmosphere here. The minute they found out it was my birthday I experienced a real Louisiana welcome! Wonderful fun place with great performers

Can't beat this warmup before you hit up the streets of New Orleans just a little outside of Bourbon street. Definitely recommend if you love craft beer and cocktails

If you are a POC avoid this place and this is why: The only reason why this place got 2 stars from me is because of Vanessa. The original songs and energy she brought was amazing. She was 10 stars. My issue is with the racist bartender there. I believe his name is Greg. He was a belligerent drunk and basically told my wife that black people don’t tip as he asked her for a tip. He turned our positive experience into a traumatic time and we will never return.

My experience was a horrific one! The bartender was absolutely awful, very rude and extremely condescending! I've been here a few times and have never been treated with such disrespect. I was there on 05-26-2024. I brought a group of friends along with me and all drinks were on me. My drink came out really sour and I made the bartender (Matt M.) aware in a very polite way. He was so damn rude and nasty, it seems to me that he has alot going on in his personal life, probably miserable! Although I wasn't satisfied with the drink I was still very polite. He attempted to intimidate me and was super shallow. When he served my beer I told him thank you and he ignored me. I then said, "Sir, I said thank you!" He replied, "What do you want me to say, you're welcome?" If I could give this experience 0 stars I would. Whatever you are dealing with dude, I hope you get the help that you need. He's very unprofessional, charged me for a drink that I tasted and complained about. I hope that $6 is worth whatever karma will have in store for you. Rude and pathetic! Just nasty-spirited and evil. You won't go any further than where you are currently positioned.

The best bar! The ambience and crowd are so fun, everyone is here to talk and have a good time. The bartender Rick took such good care of us and had fun with as well. Would come back here in an instant.
