I didn't know the type of the cuisine at first but checked out the menu and it's Colombian. I tried their Colombian dish Bandeja Paisa. Absolutely delicious, recommend this dish if you're hungry and love meat. We ordered chips and salsa which was your typical tortilla chip but warmed up. Salsa was full of flavor and tasted different than the usual Mexican style salsa, had a little more Smokey flavor and the texture uniformly cut down to between a purée and finely diced. The service was great, received a greeting upon arrival, advised to sit anywhere and shortly after sitting our waitress arrived to take our drink order. Menus were already staged on the table. We received our appetizer in a reasonable time and our main entree came out in a reasonable time as well.

My wife and I decided to grab lunch in historic Mandeville today, and rolled by this bar on our way home so we decided to stop in for a quick drink. And we're glad we did. Let me start off by saying that California has a "dive bar" culture. Despite what most people see on TV about the glamorous night life in Los Angeles, that's not 99% of SoCal. And to be perfectly honest, I think it's kind of funny how bougie the north shore pretends to be. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of nice and seemingly upscale establishments to visit around here so I'm not trying to offend anyone. But sometimes you just want to grab a drink in a place that's not full of pretentious people who are trying too hard. We all live in a glorified swamp, people. Accept it. Very simply: a good pour, good music, friendly patrons, and good service. That's really all that matters. And the best part is that this place doesn't have the weird hours that a lot of the places around here do. Seriously, who's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays? Do better, North Shore. Jokes aside, this is a cool, chill little bar in a great part of town.

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!

The Barly Oak is a great place to meet friends for drinks and eats, or just to watch the sun go down over the lake. Highly recommended!

Interference is a Mandeville dive bar…read more I am on a quest to go to new bars. Normally this quest takes place in New Orleans, but last night it brought me to Interference. I pass this bar nearly every day and have always wondered how it was, but never stopped in. I was a tad overdressed since I was coming from La Provence, but I didn't care. The bar is pretty well lit for a dive. They could probably have turned out 3/4 of the lights to make it more divey. There was a pool table and a very long shuffleboard table. Shuffleboard in bars is an excellent concept. I never had been to a bar in Nola with shuffleboard, but this is the second Northshore bar with a table that I know of. The bar is very long and lined with bar stools. Above the bar there were four TVs all tuned to sports. The area next to the shuffleboard table has around 10 or so tables and chairs which was a nice place to sit and drink. There is also an area for a band, but there wasn't a show last night. The crowd was mixed. I was the best dressed, but it ran the gamut from young tattooed service industry folks to old dudes wearing LSU gear. The bartender was young, attractive and friendly. I ordered poorly (Fancy Lawnmower-nasty), but they did have a decent selection of other drafts (maybe 4-5). There was a Guinness draft sign, but I did not confirm that they had an actual draft. In summary, interference is a sports themed dive. It was too bright, but I'll be back.
