Don’t go to Bourbon Street for music. Go to Maple Leaf.
I waited for about 5 minutes. No one was behind the counter so I went back to the dance floor. Went out again, still no one behind the counter.
I loved it it was a nice laid-back bar the crowd wasn't a shame wasn't afraid to get up and shake and dance and have a good time I had a great time and I enjoyed myself and I will be back
I went to the bar with my friend last night. It was my first time to this bar. She stayed on the dance floor and I went to the bar to order a bottled water for her and a beer for myself.
I work on oak street and this is my first stop after work more often than not. Amazing music all the time... honestly I'm spoiled due to how awesome this place is and how close it is to my job. 100 stars out of 5.
I know this is a bar with long history and many reviews so my review could probably barely make any difference.
Since I was not able to get the drink so my friend and I decided to leave the bar.
The beer selection was great! The music was better. Saw the John Gros Band, and they rocked the place. The staff and the patrons were awesome! Didn't get to try the food. Maybe next time!
Some of the best local music you’ll hear in New Orleans. $10-20 cover but well worth the cost. The band I very poorly photographed is Dr. John’s backing band.
Finally third time I went out. Bartender Travis was behind the counter. He was serving other people so I waited. Eventually he walked past me. I asked for the drinks.
Finally, he walked by me again and just as if I was not there. ( The bar was not busy last night and he was not busy.) He walked to the back and started chatting with the guy at the back.
Upon talking to my friend, this wasn't the first time. She said Travis had also refused to serve one of her other friends who happened to be black.
He took out the bottled water and put on the lower counter in front of him and walked away. I thought he was getting my beer so I waited.
This place may be nice...well, if you are of certain skin color ( white, to be specific).
But, if you are a band with good conscience and if you are a customer with good conscience, you should not support a place that allows their employee to have this type of racist behavior.
Maybe the bar owner can tolerate this kind of racist behavior.
At this point, I realized that he was purposely trying to avoid me.
I went to this bar yesterday and the bartender Travis refused to serve me. For? I can only guess, my skin color.
There are hundreds of other bars you can play and have a beer. It does not have to be this racist place.
But, I saw him go to the other side of the bar and started serving other people and having a drink with other people. Again, I thought it was something he had to do on the way so I continued waiting patiently.
