So let's talk about food: fried mushrooms tasty, only 2 cooks for full bar of hungry people so you're waiting about 45min. Tasty grilled chicken sandwich, tasteless fries - asked for no mayo repeat no mayo and lo and behold the bun and toppings smothered in mayo. She sends it back and guess what they do? Wipe it off. I said no, I don't like mayo, seriously? And they give me fresh bun (not toasted) with the same mayo smothered toppings. That's a training / lack of manager issue. It takes all of 1min to prep a few things on top of a sandwich I waited 45min for. So unacceptable.

I was cycling down the levee and saw a building with "Home of the Tacky Astray". If ya know me, I…read moregots to check it out. Great service, waitress was a gem. I got the fried shrimp and oyster basket. I kid you not - the juiciest most flavorful fried shrimp I have ever had! My pictures don't do it justice!! Great variety of local beers, other cool items on the menu. Ambiance was cool, you could tell it had been here while. If you're in the area be sure to drop in. I toured in for the pic and they said it was too long: While it looks plain, they are the best fried shrimp I have ever had. Juicy, seasoned just right, and both the shrimp and oyster came out hot!!! While I don't get a lot of quality oysters in central Kentucky, I can't be considered an expert.... They were spot on also!! Check it out and enjoy!!!

We sat at the bar and the bartender made us a round. The bartender was great and gave us a lot of tips about local hit stops. I didn't catch his name, but evidently, he's the only male bartender there, so, shouldn't be that hard to find. We were on the lookout for fun places, not in the Quarter, and we found one here. Hope you have as much fun as we did!!

It's a fun place to hang on Thursday because ladies drink free. I wouldn't go alone though. The clientele is sketchy so set your boundaries quick and you'll have a good time. The bartenders are sweet and generous. I'm going to make it a regular spot down the street from me.

Martine's is a fun little cocktail dive bar in Old Metairie…read more Products: Duh-ranks, yo! They have a pretty good wine and beer selection, but they shine on their signature cocktails, of which there are so many that I could not reasonably list here, some of which rotate out regularly to keep variety up. Everything, and I mean *everything*, is reasonably priced, if not outright cheap. (5 stars) Service: Usually just a single bartender, except during shift changes, but the place is small enough, that is more than enough. All the 'tenders are friendly and efficient. (5 stars) Facilities: Martine's is located in a strip mall along Metairie Road. It's easily accessible from the Bonnebel exit off I-10. Signage is ample, but you have to be familiar with the turns along the street to be prepared to find it. There is some parking out front, and, as one goes to bars mainly at night, there isn't any competition for space then. There is a pool table, video poker, and what looks to be a non-functioning/unplugged pinball machine (never asked about it). The inside is smallish, and can probably hold about 50 people seated, including tables and bar stools. There is also outside seating available. It's clean, but, for whatever reason, the cigarette smoke lingers in the place. The management is aware and tries to work with customers on this angle. The decor is appropriate, with a saloon feel to it. (4 stars) Bonus 1: free pizza weeknights Bonus 2: free wings on Wednesday with Trivia Overall: The only things I dislike about this place are that it isn't walking distance from my place and the heavy cigarette smoke that makes my eyes burn. Check it out, especially if you like trivia (4 stars)

Wandered in almost by accident as we had to wait for a table at Jacques Imo's. The band had not…read morestarted its set yet so we just grabbed a beer and chatted with a very friendly bartender. We came back later and caught the second half of the set; it was $20 cover for the whole thing and $10 for the second half, though felt like if you were there before the band maybe the cover didn't apply. The music was great and the dive bar atmosphere really fed into the mood. You could also tell the bar had its crowd of regulars, and everybody was really into the music, which was great. I might have otherwise given it 4 stars because it felt slightly uncomfortable in terms of seating for the music, but the music, atmosphere, and bartender were so great it was a 5-star experience for my NoLa tourist self.

I was able to get a Jucifer in a can for 4.50. They have darts and a pool table but for the most part it was just the AARP crowd drinking beer. There are several TV's to watch sports or whatever the old peeps want on. The outdoor TV was on Fox News. Who wants to go to the bar and watch politics? I'd rather watch the cheese channel on the hotel tv in the movie European Vacation, I'd rather watch Lawrence Welk play a polka, I'd rather watch the Teletubbies in a porno with Barney the dinosaur. They also had matches and ashtrays on all the outdoor tables with those cigarette disposal cans. No thanks. The place is not for me but if I worked in Elmwood, I may stop in for a cold one after work from time to time.
