    Cute little bar off Bourbon Street with an outside patio. There's a lot on the food menu, but a select few items for dairy intolerance & not fried. I ordered the shrimp Etouffee with white rice that has a LOT of heat, but I enjoyed the flavor. The shrimp are small, but not tiny & I would've preferred deveined. Our waitress was nice, helpful & fast to serve us.

    The bar!

    The bartender was super helpful and friendly with our meal order. Has a great vibe. Just arrived in town, was hungry, and this place just said try me! Had the jambalaya and the flavor is great!

    A local bartender recommended this place to us for beignets. We came here for takeout one night after drinking on Bourbon street. My boyfriend got a blackened shrimp poboy and my liquid courage had me ordering something I wouldn't normally order- a peanut butter burger. We also got mozzarella sticks. We failed at getting the beignets. The staff here are so friendly. Especially the doorman. But really they're all great. We appreciated the good customer service and friendly demeanor. Inside is small but typical bar environment. We got our food to go and ate at our hotel. The mozzarella sticks were really good and the marinara was delish!! The peanut butter burger was surprisingly good. My boyfriend liked his shrimp poboy, although it wasn't the best he's had in NOLA. We went back the following day and got more mozzarella sticks and the beignets. The beignets were good. I have nothing to compare them to, but we did enjoy them overall. We will definitely return to the copper monkey!

    We needed food stat from a day of drinking and this did the job!!! Service was good, pretty quick considering. Food wasn't mind blowing, but that's ok.

    Traveling in from Nebraska for the weekend and staying in the french quarter. It's giving hole-in-the-wall and it wasn't that busy (yet)...i'm talking the door guy was reading a book. Which I liked, because once the streets are blocked off there's a line. So if you don't know better, go early. We all had a drink and the bartender was friendly. The food wasn't as good as you would expect for a local spot. Someone walking outside kept saying "get the Whitney special"...which I don't know who whitney is, but I got it. We also had wings, red beans and rice and Étouffée... I'm not sure how I feel about the food. I mean it was okay, but you could taste that it wasn't fresh ingredients. Think soup in a bag...the whitney was just okay. The potato was powdered mash, and the cheese was abundant and if I had know that was the amount, I would have asked them to go easy on the cheese. The chicken was good though...tender and flavorful. This dish has potential...if I was cooking this at home, I would mash fresh potatoes, used freshly shredded cheese. The wings and fries were good and surprisingly everything was priced decent considering we were in a tourist area. Would I go back, yes, but not for the food. It would be the drinks and the friendly service.

    Super good food, reasonable prices, and great service as well. We ordered a quesadilla, Turkey club, crab cakes, and a shrimp po boy. Everyone liked their food. Would definitely go back!

    Piped down a bad bitch in the bathroom after doing a rail off her ass! Got a couple of beers and a burger and went about my business. Bathrooms could be a bit cleaner!

    Stopped in when we got to town for something to eat. I had po-boy and fries it was good. My mom had the blt and pasta salad. The bacon was very crispy and salad had way too much dressing on it to the point it was not edible. Husband had chicken Sammie it was nothing special but okay. The bartender was great very friendly and helpful.

    Monkey buns are the best thing ever. You'll never want regular beignets again after trying these.

    We found NOLA most unique bar last wk. Spent a couple hrs in here. Yes, we would return. I…read moreespecially enjoyed several of the frozen drinks that were brewing. The bartender said it had Amaretto, Southern Comfort ??? & ice. Very palletable.

    While in New Orleans for a conference, my group and I stopped in looking for a place to have a few…read moredrinks. From the moment we walked in, the experience felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming. I was briefly recording outside when the door staff told me no videos or pictures were allowed inside the bar--totally fine, no issue with that. Once we walked in, the bartender immediately told us we needed to buy drinks if we wanted to be there. That was already the plan, so the comment felt unnecessary but we brushed it off. Things escalated when one person in our group was simply texting on her phone. The bartender lowered the music and yelled over the mic that no pictures or videos were allowed. We were not taking photos or videos at all. Meanwhile, the door staff continued staring at us as if we were doing something wrong. If they didn't want our business, they should have simply turned us away at the door instead of wasting our time. Overall, the staff came across as rude and overly aggressive for no reason. The atmosphere felt tense and uninviting, which is not what you expect when visiting a new place. Plenty of other bars nearby where you're treated kindly--this just wasn't one of them.
