Myself and two others had some time to kill on the way to catch flights home after a week of work in Slidell. Had a few hours to kill and decided to find something close to the airport. This was perfect. Tucked in the corner of a shopping strip. Plenty of tables and a good old pool-hall look and feel. Cold beer, friendly service, and if we'd been hungry, they have a deal with the place next door to carry in food. It's also smoker friendly without being unfriendly to non-smokers. A perfect way to wind down before hitting the airline industry.

The Mill is a basic bar with very basic beer and spirits. They only had 3 beers on tap: Abita…read moreAmber (they were out), Abita Strawberry, and Blue Moon. I was able to get a Jucifer in a can for 4.50. They have darts and a pool table but for the most part it was just the AARP crowd drinking beer. There are several TV's to watch sports or whatever the old peeps want on. The outdoor TV was on Fox News. Who wants to go to the bar and watch politics? I'd rather watch the cheese channel on the hotel tv in the movie European Vacation, I'd rather watch Lawrence Welk play a polka, I'd rather watch the Teletubbies in a porno with Barney the dinosaur. They also had matches and ashtrays on all the outdoor tables with those cigarette disposal cans. No thanks. The place is not for me but if I worked in Elmwood, I may stop in for a cold one after work from time to time.

Martine's is a fun little cocktail dive bar in Old Metairie…read more Products: Duh-ranks, yo! They have a pretty good wine and beer selection, but they shine on their signature cocktails, of which there are so many that I could not reasonably list here, some of which rotate out regularly to keep variety up. Everything, and I mean *everything*, is reasonably priced, if not outright cheap. (5 stars) Service: Usually just a single bartender, except during shift changes, but the place is small enough, that is more than enough. All the 'tenders are friendly and efficient. (5 stars) Facilities: Martine's is located in a strip mall along Metairie Road. It's easily accessible from the Bonnebel exit off I-10. Signage is ample, but you have to be familiar with the turns along the street to be prepared to find it. There is some parking out front, and, as one goes to bars mainly at night, there isn't any competition for space then. There is a pool table, video poker, and what looks to be a non-functioning/unplugged pinball machine (never asked about it). The inside is smallish, and can probably hold about 50 people seated, including tables and bar stools. There is also outside seating available. It's clean, but, for whatever reason, the cigarette smoke lingers in the place. The management is aware and tries to work with customers on this angle. The decor is appropriate, with a saloon feel to it. (4 stars) Bonus 1: free pizza weeknights Bonus 2: free wings on Wednesday with Trivia Overall: The only things I dislike about this place are that it isn't walking distance from my place and the heavy cigarette smoke that makes my eyes burn. Check it out, especially if you like trivia (4 stars)

The Swamp burger is still there, except now I am not getting it at 3am, I am more of a 3pm guy these days. On a recent trip I ordered some wings with 'Kickin' Bourbon Sauce". The wings had that perfect crisp skin, but the meat was still juicy. The sauce was a little too sweet for me though so I will get a different flavor next time. The onions rings were a large portion and came in that Popeye's style batter that I like. Tons of tv's to watch the games, lots of beer on tap, and great bar food. Great place to day drink. Don't ask me what it's like late at night, I am in bed.

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...

I went on a Friday night around 9:30 and karaoke started up about 10:30 PM. Good selection of songs and plenty of room to accommodate the performer and spectators. However, aside from a couple of singers (one being a bartender) these people may hate music. The bar is low for belting out tunes, but as long as everyone is having a good time, I guess that's all that matters. I didn't stay long because I was pretty worn out from Jazz Fest, but this is the place to go if you want to try out karaoke for the first time....all are welcome to participate and there is no judgment. How can there be? Bottom line, the regulars are nice, but mostly keep to themselves and the bartenders are very attentive.
