Great old bar
Just off of Bourbon st
miss Aletha isTHEQUEEN!
If for no other reason, go and meet Aletha. We love you, Aletha!!
Can't be beat - any time of the day or nite
Beware of the barstools ... they have super magnetic powers and can hold you there for hours (sometimes days). Lower energy and more mature clientele than down the street, but consistent and always fun! -And don't miss the Southern Decadence Room.
crude
rude staff of twinks that serve the weakest drinks in new orleans. Why go to a corporate bar when there are some great independently owned establishments that don't pour from a electronic measured spout and wear uniforms that makes you feel like you're in a suburban Applebees.
A Bit of the Older Crowd
A fun bar that serves very tasty Bloody Marys. The crowd is a bit older than the more popular bars down the street, and very friendly.
