I think that's what I love so much about Desi's... the consistency. Every item on their large menu is available everyday. Plus they have specials daily to offer something new. I don't know how they do it all. The marinara for the mozzarella sticks is probably the only thing I haven't liked. Southwest egg rolls are always a hit. The Cow Tipper burger comes piled high with jalapeños, bbq sauce and onion rings - wow! But my favorite has got to be their salad and garlic Parmesan fries. They really have something for everyone. Great drinks, even better food and kind bartenders.

It's approachable, as in the crowd isn't sketchy, the bartender is actually nice and while rough around the edges, you don't have to worry about glass (or a dead rat) being in your ice. Note on the dead rat: a bartender friend told me he found one once in a bar that he worked at on Bourbon. And the good stuff about a dive: cheap cheap cheap drinks. Two beers and a call vodka/soda eleven bucks? I don't jest! But the cats are what's bringing me back.

The outdoor space has a relaxed atmosphere where you could enjoy a drink and take a break from the busier parts of the city, while the indoor area still had plenty of energy when you wanted something a little more lively. They have a second floor level that works great for private events too. The drinks are excellent, and the bartenders did a great job putting together quality cocktails in a laid-back environment. Overall a great neighborhood bar with good drinks and a comfortable atmosphere.

If you're looking for the perfect laid-back Sunday spot, Rusty Nail never disappoints. From the…read moremoment we walked in, our favorite song was playing, setting the tone for an afternoon that felt easy and unforgettable. We started with a refreshing Moscow Mule and a strong coffee drank, then ordered a dozen Gulf Coast oysters. I loved that each oyster was labeled by where it came from, making it fun to compare flavors and discover our favorites. Fresh, briny, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed, the drinks are well made, and the service makes you want to stay awhile. Whether you're catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet afternoon with someone special, Rusty Nail is one of those places that reminds you how wonderful the simple moments can be. We'll definitely be back for another round of oysters and cocktails. A perfect Sunday in New Orleans.

Stumbled upon Double Club as a pregame treat. Both for the food & drinks.

Hubby & I loved that they had the drink/shot special (a familiarity we see in Houston often) so it's always nice to discover in other areas. They had the emergency shot special which is the green ornament wrapped around my neck--still have it saved in my freezer for our one year wedding anniversary. The service was lacking & we waited a good 10 minutes before being tended to. The neon signs and playful lights around the bar gave it a nice touch.

Frankly, I'm not sure I've got the right place. This was the first place I stopped on my two-week…read morevisit to Saint Bernard Parish, and I drove by before leaving town to figure out where I was... but I thought the sign said Plantation, and the Plantation Bar & Grill is on Judge Perez Dr. So I'm a little confused. Let's just assume that I've got it right. Then you can decide whether you want to try to find it on your own. Dalton's is something of a sports bar. There's sports posters and ads and whatnot lining the walls. Flat-screen TVs show live golf and reruns of the Superbowl. Patrons sitting next to each other will converse, each only about the sport he's watching, annoying the other in the process. A bottle of budweiser will set you back a whole two dollars. And since that in itself isn't enough to warrant a visit, perhaps you can overhear some interesting comment or statement. When one patron decided to leave with his girlfriend / wife, another declared to the bar at large, "If you're leaving before 4pm, you're oversexed. It's still five minutes before!" Not sure I agree, but hey, we've all got to have standards to uphold, right?
