I have decided to create a whole new listing for this place for a few reasons:…read more 1) After many attempts to mark the original listing as "NOT closed", Yelp has decided to ignore my pleas, making it impossible to check in here. 2) The bar is under completely new management and is a totally different bar than it was when I first reviewed it. I figured: a new day, a new dawn, a new listing. If that is fine and dandy with the powers that be I will continue with my review. Arriba arriba!! I love what they have done with the place! On the Rocks now has two rooms! The main bar area and the DJ room. The pool tables have been moved to make way for dancing! They play Latin music here now, as well as typical top 40. There are always people salsa dancing (I wish I could) and I do my own version of dancing which is basically strutting around the dance floor to (kind of) the beat. Look, I can't dance that well, okay? I have yet to name my style of dancing but it WILL take the world by storm one of these days. White girl strut (trademark pending!)? I don't know. I'm working on it. The space next to the dance floor has been raised onto a platform that is now complete with a sofa for relaxing and hanging out. There is also a sitting area in the DJ room if you want to be closer to the music. Overall the bar is clean and the people are super nice and friendly. The Bud Light limes (Westbank gonna Westbank) have been replaced by Modelo, which is fine by me. Definitely one of the better Westbank hangouts, so be sure to drop in and check it out.

I have been to many different bars in my life. On the Rocks Lounge is one of the more unique places…read morethat I have visited. A friend recommended this bar so I gave it a shot. Upon walking up I was advised that I would have to be frisked prior to entry. This is normally a sign telling me to leave immediately, but I decided to give it a shot. As far as friskings go (I've been frisked a lot), this was rather uneventful. He could have done a better job if he was genuinely searching for weapons, but I guess it was more of a deterrent than anything else. Once inside I learned that this was not a place for me. The bar is separated into two different areas. One room contained the DJ, pool tables and an incredibly disturbing laser light show. It reminded me of the laser shows I used to attend in New Orleans East, but with much different music. The DJ didn't seem to speak English so requesting that he play "Marrero" by MC Thick was somewhat pointless. The DJ also made frequent use of some sort of synthetic horn noise that was horrendous. The second room is where the dance floor, bar and odd stage area were. The dance floor was huge. If one wanted to dance to the beat, there was plenty of room. The bar wasn't bad and there were a couple of cocktail waitresses ensuring you got the beer you wanted. The stage area was odd. There were a couple of couches, but there was also some sort of pole as well. While everyone I encountered was friendly, communication was difficult. The cocktail waitresses spoke limited English and most of the customers were conversing in Spanish. Would I go back to On the Rocks? Maybe, but there are many other WB bars I would rather visit.

We planned to have dinner here and was seated in a casual area with lower tables. While nice to sit for a casual drink was not up to par for parties who planned to dine in. Our first server we asked to move had declined our request. Stating there wasn't any room to accommodate. Which to be fair is fair when it's a Saturday night. However, we had made reservations and was astonished this wasn't an accommodation for a party they knew was coming in ahead of time. Thankfully, my friend went up to the host to request a table change, and was eventually accommodated with a booth. Booth can sit 6 people comfortably and 7 was a tad squish so they immediately offered an ottoman for someone to sit in the end. Food was delicious, most of us ordered the steak and frites.

However, a few of our drinks took longer than expected to arrive, which temporarily paused the fun and conversation while we wondered where they were. That aside, the staff were all very pleasant. You'll find street parking and there were some parking garages within walking distance.

It was reminiscent of my childhood fave candy, Tart-n-tini. It is their signature drink, made of Absolut Pears, Triple Sec, Apple Pucker, Creme de Violette & fresh squeezed lemon. Yum! This bar has swagger! The velvety bar stools are stylish & comfy. The background music is upbeat & makes you feel like you're on a mini-vacay. They have 3 flat screen tv's in the bar area, which help to detract from the minimal crowd. But... This spot has only been open since Nov 2010, so the clientele is just building. Because this is such a wonderful location & cool bar, it will surely succeed! I'll be back for sure. My only negative comment: PLEASE chill your martini glasses prior to serving!

I haven't stayed a night here but I will soon. I had a pleasant evening last night at the hotel bar Vive. It's not really a hip bar (only due to the lack of customers) but it does offer hotel guests and locals a cool place to have a few drinks. Alex is a friendly and cool bartender there. The bar is clean and trendy. Had a great time hanging out with some tourists from NYC. Check it out if you're in the area.

Probably the last cool, ungentrified lounge in New Orleans. Felt like I was in Negril…read more This was my second time here, so I knew to bring cash (they don't take plastic). My first visit was on a Friday (Steak Night). Delicious, prepared outside on a grill beneath a tent. A sports agent friend told me about Benny's. Apparently a group of retired athletes purchased it last year. You can quickly distinguish between the sports industry crowd and the other locals. The former tend to convene around the large screen television and watch whatever game is on while the latter sit at the bar, or close to it. Reminds me a lot of Vaughn's back in the oughts when Kermit Ruffins used to play there on Thursdays.

The Vintage - New Orleans, LA…read more The Vintage on Magazine Street was our very first food stop in New Orleans, and it turned out to be a great way for my wife and me to start our trip. From the moment we walked in, I really liked the atmosphere. The place has a cool, relaxed New Orleans vibe with a little bit of an upscale café feel without being overly fancy. It's the kind of spot where you can come in, sit down, enjoy some good food and drinks, and just take your time. Of course, we couldn't come to New Orleans and not start things off with beignets! We decided to go with the Fancy Beignet Flight, which gave us a chance to try several different flavors. We got the raspberry, s'mores, and Chantilly. They came out looking almost too good to eat, covered in powdered sugar with all the different fillings and toppings. Almost... because we definitely ate them! They were warm, sweet, messy in the best possible way, and a fun introduction to our New Orleans food adventure. For my meal, I ordered the Italian Panini with the truffle Parmesan fries. The sandwich was packed with meat, cheese, and flavor. Looking at that cross-section, they definitely weren't being stingy with the fillings! The bread was toasted nicely, and everything worked well together. The truffle fries were another highlight. They had plenty of seasoning and Parmesan and paired perfectly with the sandwich. I also grabbed a small iced mocha, which went really well with the food and especially the beignets. One thing I really enjoyed about The Vintage was the atmosphere. The interior has a lot of character, from the marble tables and vintage-style flooring to the bar and pastry display. It feels like a place that belongs on Magazine Street. It was comfortable enough that we didn't feel rushed and could just enjoy being in New Orleans together. The service was good during our visit, and everything came together for a really enjoyable first meal in the city. Our bill came to around $48 after tax and tip for the two of us, and considering we had a sandwich, upgraded fries, drinks, and the beignet flight, I thought it was a good experience for the money. Most importantly, this place gave my wife and me a great start to our New Orleans trip. When your first stop includes a loaded Italian panini, truffle Parmesan fries, iced coffee, and a whole flight of beignets, you know the trip is starting off right! Definitely a place I would visit again. Great food, great atmosphere, and a great first taste of New Orleans. 5 stars from us!

We ordered to go and got rained on. Towards the front there is a seating area that we stayed in to eat our beignets! Service was great.

So you don't necessarily have to come up too many times if your order is taking a little longer (beignets are made to order)

Thirteen years calls for an update, no?…read more Sometimes I forget that this cocktail paradise lies on the very edge of the French Quarter. Admittedly, I have other regular stops these days, not for a lack of love or anything, these things happen. But Bar Tonique is a forever favorite, a worthwhile stop before a concert at the Saenger. The best place to stop, along with the Black Penny, on Rampart if you want a good cocktail. We stopped in on a hot Sunday late afternoon. What a refuge! The bar had plenty of seats, and the people in there were a nice mix of locals and cool tourists that don't want to spend their drinking day on Bourbon Street. Drinks are so fairly priced. In a time when cocktails are upwards of 20 bucks even in NOLA, it's nice to see theirs cost considerably less and they have a solid HH with $8 cocktails (rotating specials). Not BS beer and a shot or well drinks, but actual expertly-mixed drinks. And frozen Ramos Gin Fizzes if that's your thing (not mine but I get it).

No music, no food service, or anything that shows that tried to create a nice vibe. It's literally just some chairs on the rooftop. The bar has a bartender, not mixologist, who makes drinks that I can make better at home. The little drinks are served un-garnished in tiny plastic cups and cost $15+. Not to mention they will take whatever tip amount they like out if you forget to close your tab. So my basic plastic cup of lemon, sugar, and a splash of vodka (I can't even call it a lemon drop) was $20. I wish I had taken a photo of how tiny the cups are.

Really disappointing experience…read more Vue honestly felt pretty bare bones to me. Yes, I learned some things about the culture and people of New Orleans and I got a few good pictures but I wouldn't recommend this at all. I was hoping to get a picture with my sister as indicated on the website but I didn't see anyone offer that or see it as an option once we made it there. I thought the mini story in the elevator was fun, short of course but they need to restructure this place I honestly was unimpressed. The website suggest it takes an hour and a half to experience the whole place, we walked the whole place, took pictures, watched 2 videos in well under an hour and a half. The employees were very nice and helpful; maybe I expected to much of Vue but I say temper your expectations.
