    This review is Lucky #666. I debated on what to review for this milestone and finally decided on The Saint. Towards the end of a long night out, a friend suggested we try the Saint. I had heard things, but never been myself. This was an odd place. Inside there was a room with people dancing to local rap music, and another room with a bar. We chose the bar. Service was acceptable, and the beer was reasonably priced. We did choose PBR since it seems that drinking expensive beer in a place like this kind of misses the point. In fact, I don't even know what other beer they may or may not have. The music was loud and primarily rap. This was perfect for me as I was able to rap along which always impresses people. There were some interesting people in this bar. Some guy was ranting to me about some government conspiracy while another was just staring at me as if I was an alien. This was not a negative and actually made for a much more interesting experience. I am sure I will end up here again.

    Altar??? Provides nice seating though.

    The latest discovery in New Orleans. I'm so happy I made it to The Saint! My boyfriend and I were staying in the LGD, and got into town on Tuesday night and settled by midnight. We were in a predicament: we can either go to bed now, wake up early and start fresh in the morning....OR....find a drink and see where the night takes us. C'mon, we're in New Orleans, do we really need to think about it? The Saint is tucked away from Magazine street. We actually ended up missing it at first, and started drinking at another pub. But after one drink we were super excited to find The Saint. I wasn't sure what to expect from The Saint, especially on a Tuesday night...well I guess technically Wednesday. I was surprised to see a bouncer at the door. We went in and the smell hit us right away. Yep, we're in a true dive. There were about 4 people at a bar, another group of 4 people, including a woman with her small dog by the altar (?), and someone belting out on Karaoke. It was Karaoke/Tiki Tuesday! Despite being Tiki Tuesday, I opted for an Old Fashioned, which was very well made, and my bf stuck with beer. We found the one lone table on the corner of the dance (?) floor and spent the rest of the night watching different people sing karaoke. The bf and I were impressed that people were selecting really random songs, not the usual karaoke BS, you'd find some frat boy singing on Bourbon Street. And the DJ! The DJ, I forgot her name, was HILARIOUS! It wasn't a big crowd by any means, but she was very naturally engaging. We ended up leaving close to 3am, and the crowd couldn't have been more than 12 people by that point. I can only imagine how crowded it gets on the weekends, so I'm glad we went on a damn Tuesday. Chill people, chill vibe, great drinks. I will be coming back!

    What an interesting place! Not what you would expect from the outside - a pretty big place. Lots of open space to dance around inside. There is a nice outdoor area with a bar that is quite large. Bar staff was friendly and chatty. A bit of strange decor but just because it is not my style. Tried one of their daiquiri's and was happy with how it tasted. Prices seemed reasonable! They had a jukebox and a photo booth - you could pay for them both on your tab.

    It was sometime between 12 am and 6 am a Tuesday and they had a person checking for IDs sounds promising only thing was when I entered there was a small crowd, there was bunch of dudes singing drunk karaoke, a few wondering girls at the bar. Yea you guys go sing I'm fine here at the bar, everything was purely conversational, not drunk enough to fight off someone but when I leave and someone follows... The drinks cost more than the bars I just came from but reasonable, I would've gone back there, at least better drinks deals and more space, but there seemed like more people here. I walked around a little looking around for a hidden room or something literally it was as big as my garage. I hung out a little at the bar ordered a few drinks, took a couple snapshots, conversed a little, checked out the scene, and walked out after about half an hour. Maybe on another night this place might be the spot but when I left the only thing I could think about was where the hell can I get a tetanus shot this late. I kind of liked it but not so. Service was friendly and environment was decent. This place is rugged but they have what seemed like a full bar, daily drinks, and a happy hour.

    Ha. My friend said that this bar was located in "sketch ville". I had never been before tonight. Maybe I had, but I sure don't remember it. Cool bar, from what I could tell. I got a beer and headed to the back. Nice and dark back there. Private, just how I like it. It's nice to know a place like this is uptown. I'd definitely go back. The people seem nice and I like the atmosphere. One of the places where you can just be left alone if you want.

    Best place to watch Jackass

    Really like this place,. The location is on the spooky side, but he, makes you feel cool to go somewhere that you may not belong until you step inside this bar. I gotta admit im embarrassed, I had been to this bar 4 times before I realized there was an outside patio. That only made this place a 1000 times better. I been here when it was a quiet night, maybe a little early and everyone (6 people) was at the inside bar watching Jackass2.5 I been here when it was so crowded , I wished everyone was a big fan of deodorant as I am. Either way, everytime I came, I had a great time. Im more of a beer drinker than anything so I cant comment on the mixed drinks but by the looks of it, they appeared to be pretty stiff. The beer selection is decent too. On tap is nice, Blue Moon, Magic Hat, Abitas to name a few. The music they play when a DJ is in has varied greatly. Walked in once and they were jamming to Reggae, another time it was a Cure night and the most recent, we were bouncing along to some NOLA Clap. I havent been here for a metal night, but im looking forward to it. Did I mention that I really like this place?
