As for the food, it's what you expect of bar. The onion rings were good, but I would have preferred them to be a bit crispier. The wrap was actually very good and actually well stuffed with chicken, lettuce, and tomatoes. I also added jalapeños for a little kick.

South Shore Harbor Bar and Grill is located on the site of the old Bally's Casino that overlooks the marina. I was so captivated by the moonlight reflecting on the water, I almost forgot to go inside. There's enough seating throughout the space to accommodate large groups and those who just want to hang at the bar. The small stage lets you know a DJ is coming soon and there is plenty of room to dance. I changed my eating habits, and the majority of the food was fried. I opted for a protein-style burger (no bun) and the chef didn't disappoint. The music played hit after hit and I eventually closed it down with a sing-a-long. Great staff! Delicious Food! Beautiful views! Until next time!

From the initial booking all the way through the end of our event, everything was seamless, organized, and truly professional. We hosted around 75 guests and opted for a light menu that included crab cakes, jambalaya, sliders, wings, and an ice cream bar--everything was absolutely delicious and well-received. The staff went above and beyond to make the event special. Vernon (ice cream bar attendant), Mya (our personal hostess), Jennifer (event coordinator), and Anthony (bartender), were all outstanding--friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient. Their energy and positivity never wavered throughout our 7-hour event, and they made such an impression that it felt like they were part of the celebration. We reserved the Game Parlor along with four lanes, which gave our guests plenty of space to relax and enjoy themselves. The venue itself has a beautiful aesthetic, so it doesn't require much décor--but we appreciated the flexibility to personalize the space. The staff also contributed creative ideas and hands-on support to ensure every detail--from presentation to amenities--was exactly right. I truly can't say enough about how grateful I am that we chose Fulton Valley. I've attended events there before as a guest, but this was my first time hosting--and it exceeded every expectation. The food, ambiance, service, bowling lanes, and overall experience were all exceptional. I highly, highly, highly recommend Fulton Valley for any event. It will absolutely be at the top of my list for future gatherings!

We booked a lane for the next day around 5pm. When we got there it was pretty empty. There were only two other couples there, but there was also like this lawyer's association happy hour event that was happening so they were occupying the bar venue space on the opposite side of the lanes. We went to our lane got set up and we got our menus. Our waitress was really nice. We asked her questions about some of the food and I ended up getting the Pork belly & corn fried oysters based on her recommendation. My boyfriend got the Strike Combo. The combo was the Smash and Grab burger + fries + Fulton alley old fashioned. It was actually a pretty good deal for just $25. The pork belly corn fried oysters were actually really good. I love pork belly and honestly it's hard to ruin pork belly because it has its own amazing natural flavor. This was an appetizer, it was cooked really nice. The corn fried oysters were really good. My favorite thing was the pickled green beans. I never had pickled green beans before but I loved it. It was a nice crunchy, tangy, and fresh pop of flavor that really brought the entire bite together with the shaved parm and creole ranch. I really enjoyed that. Definitely wanna try to re-create it on my own. The Smash & Grab burger had cheddar, bacon jam, red onion and house sauce. He did ask for no onions, but they still put a whole bunch of onions on it so he was a little disappointed because you couldn't really remove them without removing the cheese and bacon jam. But the burger was still good, it came with tons of fries. For drinks, in addition to the Old Fashioned that came with his combo my boyfriend got the Manhattan. He enjoyed both. I got the pink elephant. I love anything with gin or grapefruit and that had both so even better. The bowling alley was super clean, gorgeous full body selfie mirror in the bathroom entry, and the service was great. We had a good time.

I was greeted and escorted via Will Call to the VIP section for an elaborate Creole New Orleans lunch. The food catered by Messina's was so flavorful, so many great options and so delicious the team and the weight staff definitely outdid themselves. We also had our own exclusive bar and bartender who was simply amazing and offered great hospitality. We then had a chance to bid on the races, which was my first time there and the experience was so delightful. The digital screens helped to guide you through the process and made it very easy for horse race selections. I actually loved going downstairs to see the horses in the stables as they lined up to go to the track. It was so nice to see the horses, the trainers and equestrian up close and personal. I have so much fun and will definitely be back again when the season opens. I will definitely put this on my list of things to do while in New Orleans especially when the weather is so beautiful at the fairgrounds.

Horse Racing! I…read morecan't believe I e lived my entire life and never been to a horse race. Now that I've been, I can't wait to go back. I am no expert on horse racing. So take this review with a grain of salt if you are. But if you're not, you should go to a race. It is fun! On both occasions that I visited, I paid for clubhouse seats. That is absolutely necessary. In fact, despite the clubhouse seats, I watched several of the races at track side where it was free to enter on the days I went. Yes. There is betting. Yes. There are people who have a system. I am not one of them. Here's what I do, I watch the horses walk around the paddock and whichever one looks the feistiest, or has the coolest name, that's who gets my bet. I'm not really successful with this strategy but it's a blast. Races are kid friendly and mine had a great time. Come see a race. You'll have fun!

The ambience is a working man's bar; this is not meant for kids. I must admit I enjoyed hearing the music, which was nothing you would find on the radio today. This was blues, soul, and a bit of R&B. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. The two cooks were very helpful and patient with me when ordering, and even the bartender was vibrant. To sum up, it was good, reasonably priced soul food, served promptly.
