    Tiny bar but, Everybody can still squeeze in and have a seat by the bar. Look for the local Spanish singing band that occasionaly comes in, i forget their name. The "Gente!, Gente!" Song! They Rock!👍

    Where can I drink a get, on a patio preferably, with a tankfish? Cut a thick slice out of Preservation Hall straight outta N'awlins, via' French Django jazz band that eventually makes fishtank gumbo

    Opens at 9AM Wed-Sun (versus 2PM other days). Because you need a drink or five.

    The drinks are poured heavy, but the stool can definitely support you.
