If y’all are looking for the best diver a short drive out of New Orleans this is the spot. You have to try their specialty drinks. Captain Emmett - Beyond New Orleans
Ok guys, coming into New Orleans and searching for the best dive bar.....its not in the French Quarter. Only steps away for Bourbon St is a locals only watering hole. Where you have cold beers and bayou stories to High-end cocktails and great food. Do not sleep on this one. Add to your list when visiting New Orleans. Captain Pips Picks
great lil spot. pool table. expansive patio out back with live music most nights of the week. will open early for some sporting events. kitchen is rotating with vendors so it can be hit or miss even for bar food . plan a meal beforehand till they get it sorted.
