This is a great neighborhood bar in the Marigny neighborhood, a few short blocks from the French Quarter. It really is a friendly bar—the bartenders are friendly, the people are friendly, the bar is accurately named! Several nights a week they have food vendors outside. Call ahead to see if they have food on the night(s) you want to go. If not, there are several great places to eat on nearby Frenchman Ave. So get out of the French Quarter for cheap drinks and good conversations!
