      Came here for an after work shindig. I'm not really a beer drinker, but they had more than plenty on tap ready for consumption. Beer galore!!! I ended up with something dark on ice. My peers got white rum on ice. We ordered burgers, they got the works, I got a turkey burger. These burgers were huge!!! I wasn't sure if I could finish it, but I did. We all did! I will definitely be coming back to get inside the game room.

      I popped in after spotting a brew on Untappd, but was disappointed to find the list hadn't been updated since January! However, the bartender was super helpful, walking me through their current selection based on what I was originally seeking. The atmosphere is your typical American pub/bar, nothing fancy in terms of decor. Nonetheless, it's a great spot for a midweek beer in mid city!

      One of my favorite places in the city. Great location. Pet friendly inside and out. Whether you're in the mood to try something new or looking for a familiar favorite, this is the place for beer. Yum! Food is alright for bar food but face it, you're here for BEER!
      Wednesday nights you get to keep your pint glass!

      I'm about to stiff my first bartender. Ok, my first server of any kind. "If you ask for 2 beers mixed together I will charge you for a full pint of each type of beer. Be a bartender and I'll pay you for bartending. I'. Even when he isn't being a douche he's still curt and rude. It's like these folks hit 2006 and was like "stop. Right here. We aren't going any farther". I was worried about it being filled with college students on a Friday night, like it was when I was young. No worries, it's empty on a Friday night. I ended up tipping the Pearl Jam 90s flannel wearing douche, but I won't be back. So disappointing, this place defined the late 90s and early 2000s for me. Even the beer selection sucks. P.S. I tipped the guy because saying he should make 2 bucks/hour didn't sit right with me but I'm still wishing I hadn't. This place is a joke now.

      This is sad review for me to write as I used to *loove* this place, and I feel like an era has ended for no good reason. Ever since California-based owners took over, things have gone downhill in all directions. Upfront I will say its only current redeeming qualities are the staff (Brittany & Nicole), and how dog friendly it is - best spot in town for dogs being welcomed like VIPs. That being said, it is 77° degrees inside. SEVENTY SEVEN DEGREES. And the staff seem almost embarrassed to admit that they too are suffering in this environment, and have NO control over the thermostat...because it's controlled from CALIFORNIA and the owners are unresponsive to their multiple request to lower the temp. I find it really difficult to support local bars owned by people so far removed from actual life down here. This bar used to have food I would rave about to everyone, and fun trivia nights, and a relaxing courtyard. That's all gone. Food is mediocre, wildly overpriced, and every single time I'm in there is something from the menu they're out of...like lettuce, or chicken. I just embarrassed myself by talking up the food so highly, only to bring a guest who was wholly disappointed and questioned my judgement. The quesadilla used to be stuffed 4 inches high, it's now as thin as a pancake. The courtyard is gross, the fountain is broken, and the area is swarmed with flies. I miss the good old days and local owners who paid attention.

      The weakest  chicken quesadilla I've ever seen
      This is unacceptable

      My friends and I after a long day's work of breaking down the historical New Orleans Fairgrounds after a moderate season decided to go to the Bulldog {not MidCity} we were not impressed.
      3/27-24 bartender daytime sucks. His attitude is not what we in the service industry deserves from a fellow hospitality person , needless to say when you judge people like he did you loss out . Repeat Customer, this was truely a disappointment

      What a depressing experience. I just paid $13.99 for a small order of straight fries with cheese added on top. The amber fries are a joke. I don't eat pork and I don't like ranch. They were out of the waffle fries. So an order of straight fries that should be 2.99 plus cheese fee shouldn't come out to 13.99. That sorry amount of cheese added to straight fries in no world should cost an extra $11.00! Also when I looked at the menu, the amber fries said 12.99. So I got charged an extra $1 more than menu price for something that I didn't want. I asked about it and they said there's nothing they could do about the price for "what I ordered". I didn't order Amber fries (those are loaded waffle fries), I wanted to cheese added to my straight fries. It's not a difficult task as a restaurant. Why was I upcharged $11? And worst part still. I order 2 of them. So two small orders of fries with cheese cost me $28.00! Just for fries! What a joke!

      Needless to say I will not be returning.

      I went there to cash in a birthday beer and they conned me for an additional $28.00 for two small fries. They totally got me and took total advantage of me. Could it be the two new hires faults? Maybe. But they always have new staff.

      The staff is constantly turning over and the current new hires leave a lot to be desired. The multiple smoke breaks they took together left the bar unattended and I had to go ask them outside for a drink. Then they got my drink wrong. They didn't know what was on tap or if it was in bottle. They didn't even know if they had Coca Cola is the soda gun. Seriously? My dad can't drink and all he wanted was a Coca Cola. I had to ask the manager if they had that soda on tap. And yea, they did. So my dad had to go without a drink for 20 minutes because the staff had no idea what drinks they served.

      Train you staff and stop taking advantage of people coming back in town. Makes sense why it was dead in there. You won't get me back in there for a free beer that ended up costing me $28.

      Great bar tenders and great bar food. Service is great and the overall crowd is laid back and the bar is 100% NOLA.

      This place is fun.

      This is an amazing local bar. I love the burgers they have here the mushroom burger or the works.

      The ambiance is very nice and dark with a little bit of music and tv screens with sports.

      There is a big selection of beers and specially local beers

      There isn't much of service but it could of been the night we came. I've been here before and I definitely recommend.

      We stopped in after a recommendation from a friend, during the early afternoon. It has the feel of a local neighborhood bar (kind of like Cheers from the show). It was clean and well taken care of with plenty of seating. The bathrooms were AMAZING!!!
      The kitchen was closed which was a bummer because we'd previewed the menu online and came hungry. There was a manager interviewing a new bartender and another new bartender in training (his first day). The drinks were exactly what we ordered and were fast and good.
      We tried to engage in conversation but didn't really have a welcoming response. We are chalking it up to the new staff, training & interviewing taking place. Plus, they had a workman there doing some repair.
      This place has awesome potential and with more engagement with new people, I could see it being quite the hot spot.
