We tried three different options, and everyone agreed they were among the best burgers they've ever had. Not to forget to mention the nachos to start! Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The tater tots were a standout side--crispy, flavorful, and a great complement to the meal. On top of the food, the service (Bryce, I think) was quick and genuinely friendly, and the atmosphere felt clean, cozy, and welcoming. They also have a well-stocked bar and a stage for live music, which gives the place a fun, social vibe. It's easy to see this becoming a go-to spot for after-work hangouts or meeting up with friends. Overall, Whiskey Tavern is a must-visit if you're looking for great burgers, solid service, and a fun atmosphere.

We started…read morewith the pulled pork nachos, which were very good--big portion, plenty to share, and packed with sweet flavor. For the main course, I had the Memphis Burger, which came topped with blue cheese. It was solid and cooked well, and the fries served in the little fry baskets were a nice touch that added to the presentation. We also tried the pizza, which was pretty good and cheesy--not amazing, but definitely satisfying. The ambiance stood out: it's more of a bar than a restaurant, with a large bar area, cool décor, and two VIP sections on each side of the stage. The booths were a nice addition and made the space feel more comfortable. Overall, I'd give the food a B, but the service and atmosphere both get an A. A great spot if you're looking for a fun night out with good bar food, drinks, and live entertainment vibes.

I recently dined at Sun Buns Bar and Grill and I have to say... it competes directly with the most…read moreelite dining experiences in New Orleans. Now, in New Orleans fine dining, the evening usually begins with a waiter describing something simple like mayonnaise as if it has a graduate degree. "Tonight's aioli is locally inspired, emotionally complex, and pairs well with the existential nature of shrimp." At Sun Buns, they skip the lecture and go straight to culinary freedom. First off, the vibe. Boats pulling up, people in flip-flops, drinks the size of a toddler, and a patio that feels like summer camp for adults who definitely should have hydrated more earlier in the day. It's casual, it's fun, and nobody here is worried about which fork is for the salad. But the real innovation -- the thing that truly separates Sun Buns from the white-tablecloth restaurants of New Orleans -- is the condiment station in the corner. At a fancy restaurant, they bring you a tiny dish of sauce and warn you not to waste it. At Sun Buns they basically say: "The condiments are over there. Take what you need. Take what you want. Live your truth." It's like a buffet... but for sauces. Ketchup. Mustard. Hot sauce. Possibly ranch if the stars align. You walk over like you're about to conduct a science experiment on your burger. Nobody's judging. In fact, the only awkward moment is when you realize you've committed to far more ketchup than the structural integrity of your plate can handle. Meanwhile, in New Orleans, a chef is somewhere carefully placing one microgreen on a scallop with tweezers. Here? You're balancing chicken strips in one hand and returning from the condiment station like you just robbed a sauce bank. In summary: * Fine dining in New Orleans: tiny plates, artistic drizzle patterns, and a waiter explaining the carrot's childhood. * Sun Buns: "Condiments are in the corner. Godspeed." Five stars. Great food, great atmosphere, and a condiment station that encourages the kind of reckless sauce decisions that make dining truly memorable.

The Little Blue Door is a diminutive little saloon, that features a very appealing speakeasy vibe combined with a comfortable, understated elegance. It's quite small, so large groups might be difficult, but is still a great place to meet up with friends, or simply enjoy a nice night out with a special someone. Their full service bar features a good selection of specialty cocktails, as well as all the old standards. Service at the bar is friendly and efficient. Tonight we had Old Fashioneds, which were quite good. The Little Blue Door is highly recommended!

I went to Covington Beer Garden with friends for some holiday day drinking and eating. You know,…read morethe kind of thing civilized people do when they have a day off and no real responsibilities for a few hours. I had been wanting to try this place, and overall I am glad I did. First, the place itself is pretty great. Lots of seating, a cool inside area, a nice outside area, and a setup that makes you want to hang out for a while. This is not one of those places where you walk in, have one drink, and immediately start wondering where else you should go. It feels like a place built for staying. The staff was friendly too, which matters when you are there with a group and everyone is ordering different things, moving around, and generally being a mild inconvenience. Now, about the drinks. The selection was solid. Not bad at all. But with "Beer Garden" in the name, I expected a little more beer. Maybe that is unfair. Maybe I am being too literal. But if you call yourself a beer garden, I am going to expect a beer list that makes me stop and think for a minute. This one did not quite do that. That said, the frozen drinks were fun and would be great in the summer heat. But the food. The food was excellent. I do not know that I expected the food to be the best part, but it may have been. The chicken sandwich special was outstanding, the cheese fries were exactly the kind of bad decision that makes you proud of yourself, and the pulled pork bahn mi was really, really good. I would go back for the food alone, which is not something I expected to say about a beer garden. Overall, Covington Beer Garden is a very good spot. Cool venue, friendly staff, fun drinks, and better food than it probably needs to have. I wish the beer list was a little more expansive, but that is really my only complaint. I will definitely be back.

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.
