I really liked the place. Thought the food was great. We…read morejust didn't expect multiple people to be smoking at- and working the bar. There are other places I would choose, simply because you don't have someone puffing in your face. It's either: drinks, bar, smoking - or food. You think you can have all four.

The Tavern on Vets is a great dive bar with some fantastic food. They have a LOT of great specials…read morefor BOTH food and booze. The biggest negative for me is that this is a smoking bar and while they do have a HUGE space that usually makes the smoking not such a problem that changes fast during the peak Friday nights when they offer their 2 for 1 burger special when it gets so smoky that I can't handle it. My visits during the weekday seemed quite pleasant but the crowded weekends just get far too smoky for me unfortunately. The burgers and ribeye steaks here are fairly priced and better than you get at many far fancier and way more expensive restaurants. I've eaten a LOT of steaks and enjoyed plenty of good steak nights around the New Orleans area but the ribeye here is by far one of the best I've had anywhere. The service at the bar and at the tables is quick, friendly and overall just a great experience. This is some of the best bar food I've had anywhere and just one of the best options for a great steak and burger at a great price anywhere. Now if they could just do something about the cancer sticks...

(Looking at some of the previous reviews, maybe the pictures were meant as a joke?) I don't know. Drinks OK if you KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid.) Crowd seems like all regulars, (Which there's nothing wrong with.) But, I'm just curious if they had any problems that made them present themselves this way. Just saying it's not as diverse as it seems.

Customer service was below par even for a typical New Orleans vibe. There is apparently some…read moreexpectation that bars like these have to be void of smiles, or pleasant banter. Out of all the daiquiris I've had in my life, this was by far the weakest. Would be surprised if there was even an ounce of alcohol in this. Basically just a sugary fruit smoothie. Great place for a prohibition style beverage.
