Don'z is a dive bar. It is smokey and dirty, but in a good way. Don'z does not pretend to be some fancy high end bar (even though it occupies prime real estate). It is what it is (a real bar) and it ain't what it ain't (a snobby bar). I you want to sit back and sip martinis, go somewhere else. If you want to drink beer, play pool, smoke as much as humanly possible and see some interesting people, this is your place.

This is the definition of a dive bar. We left a very fancy spot that was out of control chaos and visited here. While it was very smokey, it was inviting and comfortable. There was a great beer selection. All the bartenders were great. The bathrooms were clean. I'd go back next time I'm in the area.

Donz during the storm ..   Don has passed away...we should all throw a party for him in Donz!!!

This is exactly the kind of bar my wife and I have been looking for since we moved here from…read moreSouthern California a couple years ago. 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.

Low prices, great happy hour and the best staff [bartenders around]…read more The Staff wants to know your name and invite you back. Great place to come hang out! Put a "Dollar on the wall"

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.

This is the place for drinking drinking and more drinking! HEAVY pours…read more After midnight we start howling at moon. They have TouchTunes to play your fav songs ever, the food is really good for all your late night cravings. It's small menu but tasty. The bartenders are great. It's the friendly neighborhood hang out! Two pool tables and they bring the big screen down for games. Smoking is allowed inside FYI
