This is a great little bar. It's a dive bar by most standards but it looks like it's been there forever and I'm sure it has. It was full of all different sorts of people. They fixed good cocktails too, way better than a standard bar would make. I had an old fashioned and a gin and tonic while I watched the US world cup match. Bartenders were friendly. Highly recommend if you're looking to have a drink in downtown Hammond. read more

What a cool place! The sign caught our attention. It said bar and packaged liquor. We had never really seen a sign like that so we decided to pop in and see what's up. There is a full bar. I was able to get the most delicious bloody mary while my husband had a crown and 7. There is a cool selection of liquor to browse. We bought a couple bottles that we had never seen before. The guy working seemed pretty knowledgable about the bottled liquor and was quick to answer any questions they had. He gave us prompt and courteous service. They also had a cooler with wines and a separate cooler that actually had some steaks and cheese. My husband and I joked about it being a one stop shop for Valentine's day! It did lose one star because it was a bit dusty in there. It could use a good cleaning. read more

Crescent Bar - Bloody mary - Bars Near Me - Hammond, Louisiana

My favorite bar on planet earth. I've traveled to several big cities and hit a lot of hot spots, but nothing quite compares to the comfort of this place. Gorgeous wood bar, pictures and mementos behind the bar the regulars have given to them over their 75 years of operation, along with the nicest bartenders you'll ever meet. Decent beer selection, great wine and liquor selection, and a retail section up front with steaks and other items for gifts. My advice to you is to hit this place up on a Saturday afternoon, order your cocktail of choice then just observe the regulars sitting at the bar around you. The character of each of these people is often imitated but never quite duplicated and it makes this place unique and somewhere I'm proud to call home. read more

This bar reminds me of the New Orleans bars of the yesteryear with a grand oak bar and white tiled floors. The crowd is a good mix of young and old. There are plenty of televisions to watch sports and pool tables in the back. The bar had a good selection of beer and whiskey. This was a very exciting place to watch game 7 of the 2016 World Series. Go Cubs! read more

We went to the Crescent on a Friday night, so it probably is a little different than a weekday crowd, but it was a good time! We met Mr. Ricky, the owner, and he was super friendly. The crowd was a mixed bag, from the older crowd (which is kinda the rap they get) to college kids there to play pool in the back. I was impressed with the bar selection and the coolers in the front to get bottles of wine to split, if you so desire. I also liked their top shelf bourbon selection. The thing that was most impressive is that they have a front corner of retail for wine and spirits. An amazingly vast selection, who woulda thought you could by St. Germaine or Lillet from a bar's "take home" section. Very cool and convenient for continuing an after party after 2am. read more

I recently moved to Hammond, La and I was looking for a new place to call my "home bar". I visited Crescent with a group of friends who have lived in Hammond for years. It had a homey feel to it. The bartender was very friendly with everyone. Quick to attend to everyone as well. The owner, Mr. Ricky, was there too. He was actually working behind the bar. This bar has a few great things: you can pick the music you want to listen too (you have to pay for it of course - but it's just an app you download to your phone), two pool tables in the back room, and friendly staff. The only bad thing about the place is that it's very small. read more

My friends and I went to this bar on Saturday night on a whim because we were willing to give it a chance. It's the only bar in Hammond we've never been to. We walked in, saw a fairly happy crowd which gave us promise. We were greeted by a nice man to check our I.D's and made a little conversation with him. We walked up to the bar to order our drinks only to be ignored by our bartender. There was a guy about in his 60's working the bar (which we later found out was the owner) and another guy in his early 40's. We were sadly stuck with the latter bartender on our sude of the bar. This dude walked past us multiple times while making eye contact after we waited our turn in line to be served. That doesn't settle well with me at all. My friend made a sarcastic remark about him to his face which was inappropriate but well deserve. He then legitimately threatened to fight us. At that point we were ready to take him up on the offer and we started yelling back and forth. The owner came over and deescalated things and apologized which was very relieving. Can't say I've ever been treated this poorly by anyone in the service industry ever. I used to be a server so I've dealt with some unruly people but never has it even crossed my mind to threaten anyone. If it weren't for the owner Id give it a half star but he really did make things better. If that bartender gets fired or quits, I'll be there again. read more

Not only did it take forever to get a drink but, the middle age bar tender was extremely rude right when we got there. Treated us like shit the whole time. We ask multiple questions multiple times and were ignored multiple times. He even threatened to "take things outside". The only reason I give this bar two stars was because the owner apologized for the actions of the bar tender. read more

Great bar! It can get a bit crowded, but it's usually a decent mixed crowd and the service is always spot in. The owner, Mr. Ricky, is a great guy and very hands on in his bar. read more
