“Go to the Rusty Nail for exceptional bourbons, knowledgeable, friendly staff, great prices & excellent service... it's well worth would it takes to find it. Also they have a 25% off whiskey Wednesdays!!! Wife and I happened to get there b4 opening on Wednesday. One of the staff ladies took us around inside to show us what Bourbons they had available. Treated us very very kindly...!!! Went back later after a terrible experience at Barrel proof and we just sat there for about 2 hours and enjoyed ourselves. When we get back to New Orleans we'll be back!!“
“While in NOLA we always stop here and are always happy with the food, service and atmosphere in general. It’s enough away from the Bourbon atmosphere but close enough at the same, if you have a preference. It was clean, fast and friendly. All good!“

Is this conversation helpful so far?“
“Stopped here to check out the food with our city pass and this food did make it worth it. One thing we didn't read in the details is that this is a 21+ place, so my spouse and I had to swap around to get our order. My spouse had the alligator sandwhich, which he said was amazing, I got the oysters, which were amazing! Check this place out!“
“I have been going to this play on Sunday for 2yr. When I tell you I have meet the most friendly and lovely people. They include me in their circle, party events and etc. They even knows I drive from Mississippi to hang out and goes back home afterwards. A lot of the workers have given me they number to call or text to let them know I made it home safe. Now this is what I call good people. Thx for allowing me in your establishment..“
“I was really impressed with the friendliness of service here! The bartender and the guy at the door. I came here to celebrate my birthday with a large group of friends after having an horrible experience across the street and they were able to accommodate us with room and allowed us to bring in my birthday cake. Everyone was happy. The plus was there were pool table in the room we were in. I’d highly recommend this bar to have a few drinks and chill.“
“Get off the strip and away from the tourist traps and come to this neighborhood bar for a great time. Drinks and food are great and the whiskey selection will make the bougiest whiskey enthusiast cry with joy. This was our favorite bar of the trip and we can't recommend it enough!!!“
“The nice man behind the counter was very chill and patient with my frazzled stepmom, which I super appreciate. I slightly regret being on a diet cuz the larges were unexpectedly on sale, but my bellini is really really good! I'll probably try their take on The Incredible Hulk next time“
“Neighborhood bar *+ pool table + nice outdoor space + good food & reasonably priced? = hidden gem with great parking!Vegetarian options: A surprising bit of vegetarian options for a small local dive bar: veggie burger, veggie stir fry, hummus & chips, ‘all good things’ hummus plate.“
“Is a great neighborhood/dive bar. Like most neighborhood bars, it can also tend to be cliquey, but as stated before, it's also a laid-back divey bar. Most people still have zero reservation about chatting it up with a friendly or interesting face. The bartenders will pour the same whether it is an old regular or a new transplant looking for a bar to have a few beers at not too far from the house.“
“This was a great option for drinks before brunch while waiting to be seated at a restaurant near by. Friendly bartender and quick service! Will definitely stop by before...and maybe even after we come to eat in the neighborhood again! Cheers!“
“It was pouring outside and we went in The District and what a pleasant surprise. We were a group of 13 and had space for all of us and stayed there for hours, eating and drinking and watching the games. Great vibe and super fun place to visit.Food was really good, italian meatball sliders were spectacular“
“Restaurant, bar, and fuel dock at New Orleans West End.. Walk, drive, or pull your boat up on New Canal. Only a short distance from NO Municipal Harbor Marina, Orleans Marina, or Lake Pontchartrain. Great pizza, especially the Margherita. Buckets of beer.“
“Hello my first time visit for my birthday week and you guys were totally crowded which was a great things for bar and grill in the East . My order took over 1 hour and than I got home and it was totally wrong and charge for item I did not receive . Not a customer happy . Should have checked my order“
“Place hasn't changed since I was a kid was more of a place to shoot pool. After work hangout then later at night more of a college bar. Never had food there but do have a kitchen think they serve on weekends. Staff friendly. It is what it is that's why it still “
“It's the people that make this place so special. It's not a tourist destination but a local neighborhood place where you can stop by. I suspect every person that walks through the doors becomes a regular that turns into a friend. You can play games (shuffleboard), sing, drink, and chill. The outdoor area has plenty of tables and chairs but you'll most likely be mingling and moving around regardless of where you choose. Enjoy!“
“This was one of my favorite locations to get daiquiris in NOLA. Not because the drinks were good (sweet is an understatement), but because the actual spot was something out of a movie. It wasn't in the most obvious location (literally in a back road) and was totally ratchet in more ways than one. There was truly never a dull moment at Daiquiri Chef. Service was hot and cold. Some days the folks behind the counter were friendly and welcoming, other days it was a different set of folks who seemed confused that I would be here. The latter wasn't as warm, and samples weren't offered but I would end up getting something anyway. The interior of the place was bare bones: a slot machine randomly in the corner, a bit of a drab ambiance that felt like someone's house, and a number of daiquiri machines spinning in the background. Speaking of the daiquiris, they were potent and sweeter than they were boozy. I wasn't sold on them initially, but the price made it easy to consider this location over the pricier ones in the French Quarter. When in doubt, the purple rain was the one to get. They've since closed. While I'm sad to know I won't be able to enjoy the scene anymore, I know there's a hidden gem of a daiquiri spot lurking somewhere in the Big Easy.“
“I always have a good time here, and feel very at home whenever I'm in NOLA. Good music most of the day and all night into the wee hours. The performers put out a lot of positive energy and the ones at night engage the audience. Evening and late night performances are mostly popular cover songs, well sung and played along with background tracks. Sounds cheesy but it's awesome fun. Afternoon you could happen upon a righteous blues band. I always feel safe and comfortable here. No cover charge, bands work for tips. Hardworking staff. Heart of Bourbon st at Conti.“
“Definitely has a neighborhood bar vibe, tucked away in the French Quarter. You know it has a good burger when the local service industry folks go there, after a shift to grab a burger. Service was super friendly, there were 5 of us stopping for a quick lunch. Seating at the bar and ordering at the bar, pretty easy rules to follow. Burgers were good and a great price for coming with fries. 2 of us ordered peanut butter, with a $1 up charge so it would have been nice to have a good smear of peanut butter verses a light coating on the bun. This is an annual trip for us, so next year we will definitely stop back again.“
“Stopped by Beachcorner last night. It was very busy and a little loud. There was a little wait for the food because it was only two gentlemen working which was totally understandable. There was one guy cooking the food and making drinks lol the great part was the customer service. These guys had a system set up and both worked well together. No matter how busy it would get, everyone was given great customer service and both gentlemen smiled the entire time. The burgers were good just not seasoned enough. Lol We still enjoyed everything. My friend ended up ordering more burgers to go. It was her first time. Thank you to the gentleman for making my green tea shot ?“
“Went for a drink on Saturday and enjoyed a plentiful serving of boiled shrimp with mushrooms, cabbage, garlic, corn and potatoes. The spices creep up after excellently. All staff and patrons friendly; dog and I loved hanging in the beautiful back patio. Will definitely return.“
“If you are ever on the West Bank in NOLA.....you have to try this place. It has been there forever and my dad used to go there when he was stationed in NOLA while serving in the Marine Corp. and that was back in the 70's. Try their bloody marys. They are my fav!“
“I had a few shots of Patron and aMargarita, which was great. Played some pool and listened to the DJ play music while we watched the Saints game. I had a ball. The Cherry on top was the bathrooms being spotless. Will definitely be going back!“
“I thoroughly enjoy my experiences at Cooter Brown's Tavern. During my recent visit – not my first – I indulged in their delicious fried oysters, which were simply outstanding. Additionally, their fried fish and cheese fries surpassed my expectations. The service was prompt and welcoming, contributing to the establishment's laid-back atmosphere. Undoubtedly, Cooter Brown's Tavern ranks among my favorite spots in New Orleans.“
