Sometimes you just fall into a great experience. Four of us were in Slidell for a Cajun swamp tour…read moreand we were all hungry and thirsty post tour. We initially were going to a sports bar across the street when Whiskey and Ashe caught our eye. What a great find and experience. Spoiler alert I like cigars and bourbon and Whiskey and Ashe exceeded my expectations. They have a wall of bourbon and rye plus and additional spirits and beer for non-brown liquor drinkers. since we were the only ones in the bar our bartender took excellent care of us. We had many samples and the local Louisiana Seven Three Distillery rye was one of my favorites. If you want a smoke they have a fully stocked humidor and cigar specials. There is a very comfortable outside area with TVs. We all agreed that if Whiskey and Ashe were in our area, we would live here! Since we were ride sharing we spent the afternoon here, ordered food from next door and shared it with our bartender/bourbon guide. Plus one is now a bourbon drinker (sort of) as she was introduced to a bourbon espresso martini. Wow, it was delicious.! Our bartender, Griffin, was young but so knowledgeable and he expertly guided us through our tastings. Pro tip: If Griffin your bartender tell him the folks from Austin said he needs to tell you his apple joke.

The place is bigger than it appears. Inside is reminiscent of an old-school whiskey saloon with windowless rooms, dim lighting, polished wood, & taxidermy scattered throughout. There is plenty of seating inside as well as an outdoor patio area. You can bring pizza from St. Pizza up the street or order from the daily pop-up food vendor inside. I met up with some friends here. Country music filled the air. Now, I ain't a fan of country music but folks were dancing and having a good ole time - I couldn't help but get into the vibe. The place was packed but the bartenders kept their cool and were as sweet as pie. The locals were super friendly too. The singer of a popular rock band was hanging out. He's a regular here and a cool dude. I had a Blackberry Cobbler made with Jack Daniels Blackberry. My, it was tasty. I'd love to come back here and watch a Saints game with the locals. They also have an annual Christmas Pop-up (Miracle on Magazine) with festive drinks that I'd like to check out. *Street Parking

The outdoor space has a relaxed atmosphere where you could enjoy a drink and take a break from the busier parts of the city, while the indoor area still had plenty of energy when you wanted something a little more lively. They have a second floor level that works great for private events too. The drinks are excellent, and the bartenders did a great job putting together quality cocktails in a laid-back environment.

From the…read moremoment we walked in, our favorite song was playing, setting the tone for an afternoon that felt easy and unforgettable. We started with a refreshing Moscow Mule and a strong coffee drank, then ordered a dozen Gulf Coast oysters. I loved that each oyster was labeled by where it came from, making it fun to compare flavors and discover our favorites. Fresh, briny, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed, the drinks are well made, and the service makes you want to stay awhile. Whether you're catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet afternoon with someone special, Rusty Nail is one of those places that reminds you how wonderful the simple moments can be. We'll definitely be back for another round of oysters and cocktails. A perfect Sunday in New Orleans.

My counterpart ordered chicken tacos (today's special) and it took over an hour for them to be served. I ordered a burger and was charged a different price than the menu said. It is a smokey bar that is clean enough at 11:30 but nothing special. Had then been told us when we ordered it would be a while for the chicken tacos or offered a chance to order something else it would have been much appreciated. I think it will be a long time before I go back as the small things can make a bad experience better and they weren't interested in trying to make things right.

Getting here right after they opened for the evening, before the live jazz started, we were able to chat with the staff (which we love to do) and they were very engaging and chatty. I also noticed they do a proper absinth service here and they offered one of the largest Absinth menus I've ever seen, so I had to try something interesting and different and went with the Texas made Opal Absinthe. Before selecting it, I asked the young lady who was handling the bar and she gave me her description, which I have to say was spot-on to what I ended up drinking. Another drink we got was great as well, and made with fresh juices. The vibe and venue is great here... I love jazz and I would love to return sometime to listen to the live jazz while enjoying their amazing adult beverages!

Nice you walk in you'll see where the party is happening. Multiple spaces within bar, each offering its own character. The seating gives off a relaxed vibe with couches and carpets a long the floor. Order drinks at the bar and then a place to lounge. The menu offer some unique drinks, including a caviar drink that will set you back somewhere in the low 30s. Worth a visit just for the vibes. Definitely a unique place in Baton Rouge.

We dined here twice during our last visit and lady luck was on our side as there was no line and we were seated immediately. Of course we started with a Pimm's cup. There are three options, but we stuck with their original. Want to sample all three then order their flight of Pimm's. The muffuletta is served warm and can be ordered whole, half, or quarter. This is a classic sandwich stuffed with all your favorite cold cuts, provolone cheese, and of course their homemade Italian olive salad. Do not sleep on their hot pastrami sandwich served with creole mustard. Of course, their gumbo and red beans and rice is to die for. Napoleon never dined here but if he did, he would have left a happy man as did we.

I am trying to stay hydrated while on vacation. I wanted to sample multiple items from the menu. I requested sausage, some rice and beans, and half of a mufaleta sandwich. My wife requested a chicken sandwich and potato salad. I hesitated as I was ordering and the server walked away while I was ordering. When he returned, he was surprised to learn that I wanted to order more food. Then he told another worker that I put my appetizer in late, so all the food came out at once. That was fine with me, but the tables were small, so not a lot of room. The sausage was tasty, but didn't hold itself together well. The red beans and rice were very tasty. I'd get those again. My first mufaleta sandwich was very tasty. Half of a sandwich is a big serving. I really enjoyed it and it makes me want to try more of them. My wife really liked her chicken sammich and potato salad. Overall, very good meal and friendly service. Good stuff!
