    Happy birthday to me
    Ruby A.

    Definitely a great place for late night pizza and delicious drinks. They don't have straws because they are apart of the ocean wildlife conservation movement (which is awesome because animals rule!) I come here a lot because the bartender are hard working people who have seen so many fun crazy times here and they always making sure everyone is having a great time. Their AC is one of the best on a hot day. Tell them Ruby sent you.

    A great place to grab a drink and a quick bite to eat. Came here off late night after it was one of the few places selling food late night. Pizza was a hit, drinks did snag if needed to do and service was solid. No real complaints. Kinda like a dive bar feel.

    This bar just recently re-opened. It's the anomaly in CBD - a neighborhood bar frequented by locals in midst of the hotels and tourists that spill over from French Quarter. Definitely a laid back vibe - come here for beer and a plate of jambalaya!

    Best dive bar experience we had in Nola. Friendly staff, killer jukebox, fun bar games, cool people. The pizza was everything we needed at 1am and more.

    Cash only $10 hot and greasy pizza! Not fresh but great for when you are at the local bars and need a bite to eat. Also a great place to grab a drink.

    Great signage.

    This bar is killing it in the signage game. I've come by twice, and here's what the sign read: 1. Abs are cool, but have you tried beer? 2. Liquor before beer, you're in the clear. Beer before liquor, you'll be OK. Don't be a little bitch. I pretty much agree strongly with both those statements, especially since they used the correct version of 'you're.' On top of that, the drinks are strong, the people are cool, and there's a pool table.

Yet, it seems quite popular with locals and was fairly full for a Tuesday Trivia Night. I ordered a Pimm's cup since Pimm's was on the shelf - the bartender looked confused and told me they don't have any of the ingredients to make one. I changed my order to a flavored vodka - they don't stock any. I ended up ordering a Vodka & 7, but received a Vodka Soda. Were the drinks cheap? Not so much. Was the service friendly? Not so much. I ordered food hoping this was the redeeming feature of the bar. I ordered a steak sandwich at $18 - the service time was quick but the sandwich didn't have much flavor - it was a dry, difficult to bite through thin steak with not much flavor to speak of. The tater tots were crispy and hot and I loved the Brussel Sprouts; they were doused excessively in the dressing but I liked it. There is a nice patio out back - they had fans in this area which is always appreciated. This bar just didn't have the stock and amenities that many other bars in the area do have . Walk to magazine street for better options.

I used to be employed here; I actually left this establishment a little over a month ago, and my experience as an employee only reinforced those concerns. During the process of quitting, one of the managers attempted to compensate me in an effort to convince me to stay, (even though they are a failing company) rather than addressing the underlying issues that made the workplace difficult in the first place. That alone spoke volumes about the work environment and management culture. What stood out even more, however, was the atmosphere created by management. The owners came across as extremely controlling and overly involved in every minor detail, which made the environment feel tense rather than welcoming. There also seemed to be very little trust or confidence placed in the bar staff, and that lack of faith was noticeable as a customer. No staff should feel undervalued, micromanaged, or unsupported in their workplace. A business can only succeed long-term when it respects and trusts the people who help run it day to day. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and works toward creating a healthier and more professional environment for both employees and customers. I urge you, to spend your on money elsewhere on brews. There are about a dozen brewery's and bars with better atmospheres and environments on Tchoupitoulas St. just a few blocks away.

When you enter Cajun Mike's, it screams right into your face "Dive Bar!" From the tin ceiling to the well weathered bar top, fancy is not on the menu here. I came here because I heard their food was top notch, and I was hungry and grabbing food to go, so less walking to the hotel was the strategy so the food wouldn't be freezing when I got it back to the room. I perused the menu and decided on a few red beans and rice, a gator sausage po boy, a shrimp po boy and a roast beef po boy. I figured I may as well bring back a good sampling for both of us to try. I placed my order with the female bartender and then ordered a can of beer, no taps in this swanky joint. While I waited for my food to come out, I drank my beer and listened to the regulars and the bartender talk about various topics. My food was delivered pretty quickly, I then embarked on my walk back to the hotel. Once I arrived, we heated up the red beans and rice as it was not warm, but once it was, it was delicious. The big chunks of sausage really made it good and it had just the right amount of spice. All three of the po boy sandwiches were delicious in their own way: the shrimp was crispy and tender and full of flavor. The roast beef was full of flavor and absolutely delicious and the hair sausage was moist and flavorful as well. Each one was great in their own way. While o cannot speak much to the actual bar, since I spent limited time there, I can say the food here is outstanding. My beer was cold which is all I can ask for from a bar really. If you're hungry and don't want to venture down bourbon street, this place has great food that is reasonably priced.

    Decent place just off canal. Nice little hole in the wall dive with pretty decent food…read more Very much recommend the po boys. Pressed sandwiches were ok, but the po boys were DELICIOUS. Prices weren't too bad for the quarter either.
