Another wonderful tap house. It's a pleasant change of scenery in the jazz quarter. Don't get me wrong... But I love pirates...ssssh don't tell my non-pirate hubby.

Well worth hunting this little dive bar down. The bartender was very helpful. Gave us ample warning about what we were getting ourselves into.

Great experience, knowledgeable bar tender. Get the absinthe, they do it correctly.
Update: 4 stars, not all of their bartenders pour correctly. Menu says 2 ounces and he poured around 1.25... I commented and he told me to *leave it alone*

One of my favorite haunts. I feel transported to old New Orleans. The staff is very knowledgeable about absinthe. The view of the cathedral is so beautiful. They're open late. I do wish they had late-night food options, but that's a problem in New Orleans in general.

I wanted to try absinthe for the first time and the bartender was very helpful picking a drink I would like. I wanted to come here because of the history surrounding the area. It was also the first place to serve absinthe once it was legalized. No food at this location though.
Wife was shopping me to death. Thought a stiff drink was in order. Nicest bartender in Nola, fixed up my iced coffee. Some shots of rum and Bailey's did the trick.

Went in this place as i've seen from youtube vlog however when we arrived,one lady at the bar counter was not approachable and welcoming so we decided to go somewhere else then.

It's very appalling this occurred to me, but a bouncer here was rude to me for no reason at all, and kicked me out. I was being totally polite to both him and the female bartender the entire time, and he still had the ridiculous gall to kick me out. I asked him what was the reason why you are kicking me out, and he didn't want to specify a reason at all. Just to clarify, I was planning to leave once I finished my beer. Though if one of the staff members is going to be rude to me for no reason, I will NEVER come back here. Plus I will warn everyone I know to not visit this bar.
It's very sad to 1 star this place, since this place looks very inviting when you pass by. Just beware the male bartender and bouncer is really rude, and alone is why you shouldn't go to this bar. Finally if you're looking for absinthe, there are other bars within a few blocks serving this like Bourbon 'O' Bar, and Vampire Apothecary.
Great place to enjoy a sip of absinthe!
