I love a good dive bar, and this one fits the bill perfectly. The A/C was blasting at just the…read moreright "meat locker" level -- essential for any quality dive experience. Happy hour prices were a whole $1 off regular-priced drinks -- and considering the regular prices were already delightfully low, that's basically like getting paid to drink. (Okay, not really, but you get my point.) Wendy was our bar mistress, and let me tell you -- she was a gem. Attentive, quick with a refill, and serving with a smile like she'd been doing this since the dawn of cocktails. The vibe was classic dive -- a mix of locals holding down their usual spots, some questionable neon signs, and that faint yet oddly comforting smell of stale beer mixed with a hint of nostalgia. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I make this my regular spot if I lived closer? Without a doubt. This place is the dive bar blueprint -- no frills, just good drinks, chill vibes, and the sweet hum of an overworked A/C.

Wait, what? The bartender was nice and the beer was cheap. That's about all I can say about the place. The highlight, for me, was the bar cat lurking around outside that the bartender says has been a staple of the area for 13 years.

I'm asking for fairness....nice bartenders though.

To call Roaring 20s merely a "dive bar" would be a disservice. No, we're talking *dive lounge* and…read moreI mean this as the highest compliment. Normally, I avoid day drinking. I think it's because I just love night drinking so much. Well, I can get past that because Roaring 20s makes you feel like it's always nighttime! The cave-like interior is dark with dim red lighting. It feels like you're entering someone's basement rec room in the mid 70s, old couch in a corner, vinyl bar stools, wood paneling and low ceilings and all. Think of Ted Knight's daughters' ultra cool basement pad in Too Close For Comfort, only realllly fucking dark. Visits from Monroe not included. I dare you to *not* stay and hang out, even if the sun is shining brightly outside (stay a couple hours and maybe it'll be dark by the time you leave). So, you ring the bell, the bartender buzzes you in, and you walk past a small group of friendly older gents sitting at the bar. A quick perusal and no skinny jeans-wearing hipster in sight. So, no, not a dive bar at all as we know 'em today. Thankfully. As a gal, sometimes you might feel odd walking into a place where you the only one. You might even worry for a second if you've just entered a men's-only club. But! "Unescorted ladies" are not only welcomed at Roaring 20s, they get their second drink for free (that's what the little paper cup that the bartender puts in front of you means)! And don't even think for a second you'll be fending off undesirable come ons from the regulars. It's very much be and let be here. In a world full of contrived dive bars, Roaring 20s stands out as a comfortable place for "unescorted ladies," is cheap, allows smoking (the air purifier does a decent job), has a friendly clientele and feels like the elusive "real deal."

Roaring 20's is a great example of a West Bank dive bar…read more I have been wanting to try Roaring 20's for years. I was never brave enough to venture in, but recently read a review (thanks Joi) that renewed my interest. Since it was fresh on my mind, and my friend had never been there either, we made the long trek to Terrytown. We pulled in around 5 a.m. on a Saturday night and the place looked packed. We walked to the door and pushed the buzzer. The buzzer adds an exclusive feel and makes you feel like you're being judged before you enter. When they didn't immediately open the door, I became self conscious that I wasn't cool enough or properly attired. Lucky for us, the bartender had stepped away from the buzzer and a friendly patron opened the door. When we walked to the bar the bartender shook our hands and introduced herself as Sandy. Sandy told us that she knew as soon as we walked in that we had never been there before. She was very friendly and welcoming. She explained that we should make ourselves at home and have fun. She must have assumed we were fancy people because when I ordered water, she explained that they only had tap water and hoped that was ok. I told her that we had read about the bar on the internet, but she just laughed as if it was impossible. The bar had a small dance floor, jukebox and two couches. What made this bar even better was the woman taking a nap on one of the couches. This was a great experience and was everything I imagined it would be. It is too bad that it took a yelp review for me to build up the nerve to go. If you want a laid back dive bar, I recommend you give Roaring 20's a try.

Their menu is more extensive than you might think, so make sure to peruse it. I really wanted a muffaletta, but they were out on this particular day. I assume from the past weekend of Mardi Gras. Most of us ordered some form of po boy - roast beef, fried oyster, or hot sausage - while the kids got some wings or debris fries. All of which hit the spot. It was a perfect afternoon to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. Grab a table outside if you can during the spring months after you order your food in the kitchen and your drinks at the bar. I wasn't drinking at this point, but as a craft beer fan, they had quite a lot of locally brewed cans and taps, as well as a wall full of liquor. I bet this place is fun and poppin' on the weekends.
