So they made the event we'd paid for, and filled their bar with paying customers an absolute nightmare from the get-go. The way we were treated at the end - absolutely unacceptable. Then there were the really creepy older guys that came through, clearly trying to "cruise" young drunk potential victims. Ick. Place makes you want to take a shower. Immediately. There are better venues. Trust me.

I went to Covington Beer Garden with friends for some holiday day drinking and eating. You know,…read morethe kind of thing civilized people do when they have a day off and no real responsibilities for a few hours. I had been wanting to try this place, and overall I am glad I did. First, the place itself is pretty great. Lots of seating, a cool inside area, a nice outside area, and a setup that makes you want to hang out for a while. This is not one of those places where you walk in, have one drink, and immediately start wondering where else you should go. It feels like a place built for staying. The staff was friendly too, which matters when you are there with a group and everyone is ordering different things, moving around, and generally being a mild inconvenience. Now, about the drinks. The selection was solid. Not bad at all. But with "Beer Garden" in the name, I expected a little more beer. Maybe that is unfair. Maybe I am being too literal. But if you call yourself a beer garden, I am going to expect a beer list that makes me stop and think for a minute. This one did not quite do that. That said, the frozen drinks were fun and would be great in the summer heat. But the food. The food was excellent. I do not know that I expected the food to be the best part, but it may have been. The chicken sandwich special was outstanding, the cheese fries were exactly the kind of bad decision that makes you proud of yourself, and the pulled pork bahn mi was really, really good. I would go back for the food alone, which is not something I expected to say about a beer garden. Overall, Covington Beer Garden is a very good spot. Cool venue, friendly staff, fun drinks, and better food than it probably needs to have. I wish the beer list was a little more expansive, but that is really my only complaint. I will definitely be back.

We love Rosie's tavern. We came up to Abita Springs two years ago for the first time and we stopped…read moreinto Rosie's. It's a no frills dive bar with cheap drinks, two pool tables (very nicely maintained), and two dart boards. You can smoke inside which isn't a selling point for me but it would be if I was a smoker. We come up to Abita Springs a few times a year and always stop by Rosie's to play a couple games of pool.

Like the other reviewer mentioned, hand crafted cocktails generally are out on drink menus for you to see what specialty type drinks they are offering. Not the case here. Last thing you want on a night out on the town, go into a bar where you're expecting high end, expensive spirits and specialty crafted cocktails, only to see Jose Cuervo and Jim Beam Make no mistake, the only thing that has changed in this bar is the sign. Expensive sign, cheap drinks and place.

We didn't win, but we felt pretty good about our effort. :D FYI, Mrs. Silence Dogood is a pseudonym of Mr. Benjamin Franklin himself. Oh yeah, the bar - great beer on tap, some of the best bartenders around, and absolutely wonderful pub food. It's been a while since I've ordered it here, but I still have fond memories of the wings and burgers from previous visits. Judging by the number of repeat customers with food on their tables this past Tuesday, I'd say nothing's changed. If you're coming at me on trivia night, bring your best game - I'm reading books on the outside just to keep up. (who remembers that line, 5 points if you guess the movie and the actor who said it) Come catch up with us at the Tap Room, or be sad you missed out...it's your choice!
