I really liked this bar. The bartender both times was fun. Atmosphere befitting an old dive in the quarter. Not too touristy. It's a small bar though, thankfully we were able to squeeze in for a rest and a beer.
Went in late on Saturday, lot of people, but we found a spot at the bar. Service was pretty quick. I got some absinthe drink and wife got a sazerac.
Fair warning to you: we had no idea it was basically just rye whisky to sip on. Our own fault. We didn't drink it though as we didn't need any help getting buzzed. We were hoping it was something a bit bigger to sip on, woops!

Drinks were good, bartenders were informative and friendly. It's a very cool place. Bathrooms were disgusting / absolutely vile and disgusting but it's bourbon street area so 🤷. Get a drink and move on. Street gravy is everywhere. The ventilation system above people also looked disgusting possible black mold/debris falling down on ppl's drinks but could just be how it looked lol. Idk. Again. Bourbon street.
