Fantastic Bar!!

This was the first bar I ever entered and that was in 1980. Its still just as interesting and exciting today. Never know who will walk in the door!! Drinks are cheap but it does get crowded and hot down stairs. Its a wonderful happy hour bar and fun to watch the tourist walk by.

most popular, why?

I just don't get why this place is so popular, very pricey drinks ($21) for two call drinks and they didn't even have popular brands like Stoli and Jameson. Mis-poured mix on top of that. We spent most of SD at the other bars where we could get what we wanted and at prices more competitive.

NOLA Gay Staple

Great place to go if its your first time there. Two floors with an upstairs dance floor. Great outdoor patio for people watching! Better bartenders tend to be downstairs versus upstairs!
