Your eyes will burn, your hair will stink and you will develop a death rattle by end of the game but its fun! Just drive home with the windows down and strip in the garage and hit the shower immediately. Second, there is a non smoking section but that area is no fun. Avoid it seriously unless you have horrible allergies. But seriously, just suck it up and sit in the smoking section. This is why you are coming. Third, actually a decent restaurant inside with items up to prime rib. The tater tots are yum. They sell beer and some little wines but nothing to get excited about. Pro tip coming. Fourth, the people/ regulars watching is top notch prime 1000% awesome. I'm talking funny ass shit funny. Comedy club funny with occasional outburst when someone is getting close to a bingo or if someone just won. (F! or that bitch was lucky, or wtf was that sound? or F this S) all said by women in late 60s - 80s Fifth, the game itself. Bingo, but not just any bingo. I am talking fast paced bingo! But sooo fun. Its not good for anxiety at the beginning but after a few cards in, the hang of it comes. You will get comfy enough to actually look up and see the screen showing the next ball and keep up instead of trying to search for the last call on the giant lit bingo board. But its not that easy... the announcers , can sometimes make Mush Mouth from Fat Albert sound like James Earl Jones in comparison. B 70 sounds more like fee sebindy. O 23 like Mo beddie free. Awesome. Now mix in during the game of bingo, there is walking staff also selling pull card games like cherry bells at school fairs. IN the middle of the numbers being called, B 9, O 64, G 44, there will be a random outburst " Black Jack Picture Frames" ... it is sooo confusing but it also makes my group laugh every time because we get frazzled and the regulars are playing 3 games at once, talking and keeping up with no frazzle. No more counting. Getting hard to write like that. The staff is wonderful. So my group , not very familiar with the process... again this isn't grade school bingo, its grown up bingo, did not realize the game switched from fill in the regular bingo to simultaneously turned into Black Out or the correct Gretna Bingo Palace term is "Cover All" game. A employee walking around with her own dauber leaned in and started marking up our cards with the missed numbers (it moves fast fast!) and she told us to mark everything because they will switch to Cover All after Bingo is called. Man that was sooo cool of her. When you first walk in, the newbies are spotted immediately. Blood in the water if you will. There is a frequent player program like at casinos at this bingo hall, so when anyone new walks in, get ready to get approached by a old lady with her keys on a lanyard. She will want you to use her player card when you buy your bingo card. It cost nothing extra but making a old lady smile. My last old lady was sweet enough to see we had no daubers and she went to her Gretna police officer friend behind the counter doing detail, and had him provide us with 4 daubers for free. We had to return them to him after but it saved us a few bucks. So no outside food or drinks. Meh kinda. There is no one checking bags at the door so if you are discreet, have someone pack a big purse and bring your goodies in. I have a cruise ship clear flask I fill at home and I buy a big drink at the bingo hall and fill up. The beer selection is poor so unless you can sneak in a few cans, the flask option is easy. There is a slot machine room also, actually way less smokey than you would expect. They have games all day, there is a online calendar, but for example, the games we usually hit is the 8pm game. It may start on time, or 20 mins late. No matter what, it will be finished by 9pm. It seems like no way they are gonna call it that fast but it is fast fast and fun fun fun! Get there early too. Grab you a table with friend, order food , have some drinks and have some laughs and make friends before hand. Seriously a fun hidden gem. And the fun multiplies if you are drunk or loaded in anyway. Not to mention there is a chance you could win big money. Imagine that!

And that's the ONLY thing I'm reviewing: the food experience. The food was actually pretty good! I got the crawfish cornbread and potato salad, which each came in their own little styrofoam container. The potato salad was pretty simple, which matches my preference. The cornbread was more of a side dish in terms of size, but it was moist and didn't skimp on fillings. The food is supposedly all made from scratch, which I have no reason to disbelieve. Potato salad was $2, cornbread was $5. My total bill was $9. I'm not sure if the extra $2 was the tax or the can of soda I asked about and didn't receive; hopefully the former. The portions were on the small side, so it's not cheap, but not bad considering. Now for the problem: *getting* the food. It ended up taking 4 different attempts/trips spread across two nights to get the food I wanted. The menu and hours advertised seem like they be more of suggestions/guidelines than actual rules. If you're actually going to bar-lurk then that probably doesn't matter, but if you're just after food... Go to an actual restaurant.

What better way to do that by playing sand volleyball and having fun at the same time. I'm glad I decided to come here and get about 4 to 5 games in. Now, the place opens at 6pm-12am(everyday). They opening during the evening instead due to the sand being to hot. You pay, $10hr to play. Sometimes during the week, they do have tournaments going on. But its impossible still not to play due to so many volleyball courts. Now if sand volleyball isnt for you. They have large decks for relaxing and watching if you're not playing. Music is always playing. The food at the bar is awesome, great deal and very tasty! They have plenty of TV's as well. Why not quence your thirst over some beer before you get a game in or two.

Bryant Park NOLA is a new bar with a long tradition they are carrying from their Dino's heritage…read more Dino's Bar & Grill was a long time favorite of mine and it was a very popular bar in this area for many years and this is their new location after they moved just across the street from their old location. The old Dino's was long noted for being a really great spot to grab a good meal and have some good times in New Orleans. So as Bryant Park NOLA Eatery & Drinkery is now the new home of the old Dino's Bar & Grill they connect with many of my good memories of some good times and good food I carry into their space along with some high expectations. I stopped in here on my first visit to sample their cheeseburger and that was a decent experience. I invited a few friends to join me for their steak night and that got a bit more problematic with the pricing as somehow they don't have beer prices on the menus here and I didn't see anything posted about a happy hour. So somehow the price of beer jumps from $4 to $6 once happy hour ends which would have been fine if they would have posted something up about that or had it on the menu. I just find charging $6 for a Yuengling to be excessive personally but they can charge what they want but they need to post their prices. My dining companions were also a bit surprised at their bills as well so that left a bit of a bad taste in our mouths. I think this fancy new joint has a lot of possibilities so I just hope they get better at being better at posting prices. My video review of Bryant Park NOLA is here: https://youtu.be/zpNd2lNkBQ8

For the party, there was plenty of space for tables, a food area, fruit table, dessert table and photo booth without crowding the DJ's space. There's also a pool table in a rear room. Pros: location, size, layout and lighting. Cons: Temperature in warmer weather, bar service I deducted a star because it was stuffy/AC wasn't ideal for its size with a smaller group of people. The other less than ideal aspect was the bar. The bartender didn't know how to make a rum punch and didn't have flavors for it. For gin, there was no tonic. Certain mixers should be standard with a hall serving adult beverages. If you're looking to host a bridal shower, baby shower, birthday party or reception in the Kenner area, this is a good find.

The only things I needed to bring were tablecloths, the cake, and whatever food I wanted besides the pizza they provide. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly helpful. Jermaine in particular was awesome. They helped me unload my car, put out my very minimal decorations, and even put together the cheap Amazon banner I brought with me. There is SO much to keep the kids entertained, including unlimited arcade games, inflatables, and a huge amount of open space for the kids to run around and play. It was perfect for a group of energetic 3-year-olds! Jermaine even led the kids in games, and you can genuinely tell that he loves what he does. The prizes he gives out are actual, full-size prizes--not just little trinkets--which the kids absolutely loved. They cut the cake and handed it out for me, and when the party was over, they loaded all the presents, leftover pizza, and cake onto a cart so I could easily get everything to my car. I barely had to lift a finger! Another huge plus is that this is one of the only birthday party venues I found that doesn't charge per child. It's one flat fee for as many kids as you want, which makes planning so much easier. If you're looking for a birthday party venue where you can actually relax and enjoy your child's party instead of running around doing everything yourself, I cannot recommend Jefferson Indoor Sports enough. **No notes. We will absolutely be back!**
