This historic venue in New Orleans remains a must-visit, featuring friendly and knowledgeable bartenders who can recommend popular drinks like blueberry lemon drop shots and the Sazerac.

The atmosphere perfectly blends historic charm with vibrant energy, making it a great place for anyone visiting the city. Although some guests have noted that the bathrooms could use more attention and cleanliness, the overall experience is enriched by the engaging environment.

Despite some issues with the space, such as the ventilation system, many guests still find it a cool place to relax and enjoy their drinks.
