Interference is a Mandeville dive bar…read more I am on a quest to go to new bars. Normally this quest takes place in New Orleans, but last night it brought me to Interference. I pass this bar nearly every day and have always wondered how it was, but never stopped in. I was a tad overdressed since I was coming from La Provence, but I didn't care. The bar is pretty well lit for a dive. They could probably have turned out 3/4 of the lights to make it more divey. There was a pool table and a very long shuffleboard table. Shuffleboard in bars is an excellent concept. I never had been to a bar in Nola with shuffleboard, but this is the second Northshore bar with a table that I know of. The bar is very long and lined with bar stools. Above the bar there were four TVs all tuned to sports. The area next to the shuffleboard table has around 10 or so tables and chairs which was a nice place to sit and drink. There is also an area for a band, but there wasn't a show last night. The crowd was mixed. I was the best dressed, but it ran the gamut from young tattooed service industry folks to old dudes wearing LSU gear. The bartender was young, attractive and friendly. I ordered poorly (Fancy Lawnmower-nasty), but they did have a decent selection of other drafts (maybe 4-5). There was a Guinness draft sign, but I did not confirm that they had an actual draft. In summary, interference is a sports themed dive. It was too bright, but I'll be back.

My boyfriend and I came on a trip to Louisiana to visit family, along the way we took a detour to Donz. Unfortunately my boyfriend left his sunglasses behind (that I gifted him and that have sentimental value). When he went back to look for them the next day, the "owner" aka co-owner Stephen refused to check the cameras, insisting that "it didn't work like that". And then requested a BRIBE of $100 dollars to check the cameras. Unfortunately the police had to be called and a report had to be made; which could've easily been avoided had the cameras been checked or another solution was provided in a professional or even slightly neutral way. NOT THE WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS. Absolutely unacceptable, unprofessional, and a slap in the face to the customers of this bar. He was rude and aggressive and Don himself would be horrified to know that this is what came of his legacy. NEVER supporting this disgrace of a business again. Do better.

This is exactly the kind of bar my wife and I have been looking for since we moved here from…read moreSouthern California a couple years ago. My wife and I decided to grab lunch in historic Mandeville today, and rolled by this bar on our way home so we decided to stop in for a quick drink. And we're glad we did. Let me start off by saying that California has a "dive bar" culture. Despite what most people see on TV about the glamorous night life in Los Angeles, that's not 99% of SoCal. And to be perfectly honest, I think it's kind of funny how bougie the north shore pretends to be. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of nice and seemingly upscale establishments to visit around here so I'm not trying to offend anyone. But sometimes you just want to grab a drink in a place that's not full of pretentious people who are trying too hard. We all live in a glorified swamp, people. Accept it. Very simply: a good pour, good music, friendly patrons, and good service. That's really all that matters. And the best part is that this place doesn't have the weird hours that a lot of the places around here do. Seriously, who's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays? Do better, North Shore. Jokes aside, this is a cool, chill little bar in a great part of town.

However the staff was not friendly and even though it was Tuesday which clearly says buy a large pay medium price I was charged for a large. Because I ordered more than one thing I didn't catch the overcharge and also because there was no receipt I didn't see it either. Sadly I won't go back no matter how good they are since trust is #1. And on top of that I watched the bartender take back a cup from a patron and pour it back into the machine which is completely unsanitary. Could have been my go to spot but over a measly 2 bucks they lost me.

The Mardi Gras Lounge is the hotel bar located inside the Holiday Inn Downtown. This bar just got…read morerenovated this month and is now looking stellar. I just quit working at a hotel this summer but I have worked in the hotel industry for the past 14 yrs. I have yet to go to or work at a hotel where the hotel bar is "the neighborhood bar" or even a top choice for a meeting place with friends. Hotel bars, in general, are much more subdued than other bars. This bar is now a beautiful bar that is visually appealing. It also has very nice lounge chairs and tables. But, as is the case with all other hotel bars, there is no jukebox. Or pool table or dart boards. Nor is it open 24/7 like some bars around here. So the fun factor at this bar is somewhat low. Drinks are pricey here because it is a hotel and hotels overcharge for everything. I ordered a few beers and they charge $4.75/bottle for Michelob Ultra. Expect likewise overpricing for cocktails. I would recommend this bar if you want a nice trendy bar to hang out at. If you want to be rowdy and crazy with your friends this may not be the right place for you. Of course every bar gets rowdy and crazy when the Saints are playing and this bar is no exception. My friend Scott bartends here and he said during Saints games the bar is packed and loud. Otherwise you can hear the crickets.
