    espresso martini

    We love parlays. Sophie is the best!!!!! Best espresso martinis and service. We always come here no matter what.

    Friendly bartenders, a bar that looks a country mile long, juke box, pool tables... what more could you want for a Saturday night out? Old town vibes with new town flavor. Lighting is funky and cool. Outdoor area to hang out. Funny tshirts for sell worn by the crew. Just go! You can thank me later!

    I haven't been to Parlays in years, but I just came back and checked it out since I'm visiting, and it's way better than it used to be! It's still a neighborhood bar, the prices are low, they have super friendly bartenders. The beer selection and liquor selection is fine for a little dive bar.

    Oysters

    After tasting the freshest half shelled oysters all around New Orleans, my husband and I were on the hunt for some affordable oysters and stumbled across this gem!!! Happy hour oysters for $8/dozen from 3-7 PM? Yes, please! We arrived right at 3 PM and devoured 4 dozens among the two of us. My husband claims that this was the best part of his trip to New Orleans. We will definitely be back when we are in town again!

    Burned down last night. However Yelp says this is too short for a review so I'm writing some extra stuff. My sympathies to the owners.

    I hadn't been to Parlay's in years, but my Lakeview drinking companions needed cigarettes. Why go to a bar for smokes when there are convenience stores? No clue, but somehow we ended up at Parlay's. Having not been there for years, I was unsure what to expect. The Parlay's of today seemed eerily similar to the place I remembered from the late 90's. This very narrow and long bar was packed to the hilt with people. There were lots of what appeared to be dudes on the prowl, and single ladies lining the bar. While not my scene, if it is yours, you will probably enjoy this bar. The employees were friendly and somewhat efficient despite the very large crowd on a Saturday. This bar does bring back many memories, not all of which are good. Would the bad memories keep me away? Probably not, so next time I am in a drinking mood in Lakeview, I may have to spend more time remembering why I never really liked going there.

    And now with skee ball!

    I give Parlay's an A-OK for effort. Since the last time I went there, they had built out the back room adding a good bit of more space. Funny enough, the bottle-necking STILL occurs in the front room by the bar. I played the new skee ball, though the balls don't feel regulation (insert pun here) and the glass seems to be pretty low. I suck at skee ball, so that doesn't help the cause either. I enjoy a good ol' ladies night, all you can drink for $5 on Wednesdays, but no bar that I go to competes with how smoky my clothes, hair and purse smell after going to Parlay's. :/ I will still go to Parlay's on a rogue Wednesday night, but it would make my day if it were non-smoking or they invested in some smoke eaters.

Once the sun went down and the temperature started dropping, they turned it on and it was perfect. It kept us warm and made the whole setup even better. There was crawfish being sold, and of course I had to get some. It was so good and definitely added to the experience. The place was packed because of the game, but the bar inside moved surprisingly fast. There were plenty of bartenders working, so I didn't have to wait long at all. The crowd here is always friendly, which makes a big difference during big events like this. I really enjoyed myself watching the game. The only thing I wish they had was a few blankets available since it does get chilly outside at night. Also, no pets were allowed because of how large the crowd was for the Super Bowl, which makes sense. I've brought my dog before on regular visits and can't wait to bring her back again. Wrong Iron always delivers a good time. I'll definitely be back.

It's the perfect venue to enjoy a delicious craft beer paired with light snacks and appetizers. They have an awesome outdoor section that's ideal for large groups, events, or just hanging out with friends. I love the outdoor games and the relaxed vibe -- especially during the spring and summer months when they run their weekend crawfish specials. The beer selection is excellent with a wide variety of options, and the connected Bayou Wine Garden gives you even more choices. Happy hour here is truly one of the best in the city! My personal favorites: the naked wings and the Caesar salad -- always delicious. There's plenty of seating, great energy, and it's consistently a fun, easygoing spot to grab a drink, enjoy good food, and connect with friends. Service is great at both venues.

This place is fantastic whether you're popping in for after-work drinks, or even a platter of their seasonal crawfish (often cash only from the vendor, around $19 per box with fixings--check their Instagram for updates). a solid menu of bites like poppers, crab cakes, fries, and burgers, plus that expansive outdoor seating connected to Bayou Wine Garden, it's an ideal hangout to soak in the evening bliss of NOLA. The staff is typically kind and efficient, handling the packed crowds with ease despite all the requests. Give it a try--whether you're a local or a tourist, you'll feel right at home by the bayou.

The ambiance of this place was the best part of the experience - the Vessel is located in an old church building. I loved the vibes and it felt both classy and casual at the same time. We didn't have reservations on a Saturday night, but we were able to be seated as soon as we came in! We started with the hand cut fries and I found them to be delicious and fresh. Afterwards, I had the seafood pasta and it was great - appropriate balance of the pasta and seafood. We ended with the creme brule and it was perfect - it had the right amount of crunchiness at the top and was soft as soon as you broke into it. Overall, I had a great experience here and hope to try this place out for brunch in the future!
