Just a quick revision - this place is definitely 5 stars in my book…read more Freki's on the job now, Tucker's retired, and the place is just as fantastic as ever - maybe more so, although we do miss Gerilyn. :) Folks behind the bar are super - helpful, friendly, full of great information about beer (and bourbon!), there's water for the pups, and a gorgeous view of Lake Pontchartrain. I recently spent a Friday afternoon out here with some friend, talking soccer, beer, dogs and Christ - not necessarily in that order. If you see us out, say hi to Freki and let us know how you enjoyed the Barley Oak!

There is seating on the first level and second level. The bar is on the second level. We enjoyed haning out here and there is a very good selection of beer. It is also dog friendly as there were several dogs there as well. It is also right across the street from the lake so you can look on the lake while hanging out there.

First time here! Dark and mysterious, classic rock and roll (Fleetwood MAC : The Chain - need I say…read moremore?) - good selection of spirits without being over the top, conspiratorial couples, friendly bartender, 3 screens with a variety of selections, pool table, dart boards, very fair prices - all the pieces are here, people!

The food is top notch fare for a Sports Bar!

He has quality pool tables, and has tournaments for pool and darts several nights during the week. His staff has always been very polite and courteous . The only reason that I don't go there more often is that I have moved and its well off my current route. If there's any kind of ballgame on , Chris is bound to have it on one of his several big screen televisions that are strategically positioned enough that there's hardly a bad seat in the house . Other than that it's a friendly little Sports Bar with a friendly atmosphere where most people know one another, and if you are knew to the area you ill then have several new acquaintances when you leave there .

The service is terrible and it's exactly what you'd expect. Not worth it and the experience is terrible. Prices are too high! And service is below par. You have been warned! And if you don't like smoke, don't enter! It smells like smoke stack which is fine if that's your thing. No food options. Good luck but you should skip this one.

First of all the drink menu has no prices. Hello !! They raised the prices of the trivia night drinks from $9 dollars to $13 dollars a 45% increase. We also won a gift certificate for $15 we wanted chartcuterie which they don't have on the day we want it. One barkeep/cook. No cash cards only. Put in an order for 2 nachos and only one was put in so canceled the other order. If you want people to come then have some specials. Have a second person. Beautiful place but not impressed as of yet the ac can't keep up and for the love of god put a push sign on the door

It's on…read morePontchartrain, the building is green and it sits back a little.(If you passed Old Spanish Trail- you went too far.) I said that it's unique because it is on the small side and whenever you go in there, it feels like you're walking into one of your relatives kitchen. People are just hanging out- talking, laughing and drinking! You need to go and see for yourself and by the way, the daiquiri's are awesome- Oh, I am talking about in the middle of the weekday or nights!Go, have fun and mingle I gave it a (4) only because I'm a female and believe me, those girls favor their male customers, but I love them anyway!

And that may sound pejorative - and it's not meant to be. They're a place to meet some colleagues after work. They're a place to hang out and enjoy a few cocktails and some good conversation. They're a place to pre-game. They're a place to grab one for the road, watch a game, take a time out. And they make the most of their admittedly smaller footprint. There is a nice little vibe going on here. Good tunes, friendly staff, smiling people. You should check it out.... And a shoutout to Mae who is awesome.

It's dark a lit with string lights. The area that was a wine store is now an event space, so you could have a group party or shower or something in there. They have a nice menu of drinks, some more elaborate than others. The bartenders were very friendly and offered to make anything I could think of. I opted for a old fashioned as we were just starting the night. It was pretty good. We decided to sit outside on a beautiful evening. I will definitely go back to check it out again on a return trip!
