What a great thing it is, for an American visiting on business to be able step through a pair of…read morepretty boring doors, and find himself in a Pirate bar in the middle of Toulouse. Our group spoke little french, the bartender looked a little concerned, but very quickly we figured out that this was going to be about rum, especially the beautifully unmarked bottles of (housemade?) flavored rums. We got a round of ten shots in a wacky little ship's wheel, and the bartender poured us his favorites. By the time it ended for dinner, there was another round of shots, and in the middle some Caipirinhas in there too. The floor-to-ceiling dark wood, decor, vibe was all spot-on, what a great place to hang out and enjoy some exotically flavored rhums.

You can't go wrong here. Tons of flavored rum for a very fair price. While the bartender only spoke…read morea little bit of English he was quite entertaining and very accommodating especially for Americans that know little to nothing in the French language or culture. Get the 15 shots for 33 euro and 2 bottles for 15 euro. Best decision you can make on a crazy night out.

My daughter and I had lunch here today. My pork filet was cold and chewy, and my daughter's salmon…read morewas tasteless. To make things worse, a gust of wind blew dirt and a pigeon feather into our water glasses. Of course no server ever comes to your table to check on you, so my young daughter took a drink of water directly out of the carafe before I could stop her since her glass was now full of filthy water. It was close to 100 degrees (39 Celsius) and we were sitting outside with glasses full of dirt from the street. The server proceeded to run up to our table and yell at her for drinking out of the carafe. He stated they use the carafes at other tables, so it is not just hers. So they don't clean them between tables? So if someone put their dirty hands all over it or coughs or sneezes on it, they will just refill it without washing it and give it to the next table? Absolutely disgusting and unsanitary. And my daughter was upset and crying after being berated.

Horrifying bar. I think it might be the brightest bar in the entire world. You walk in, are…read moreabsolutely blinded by bright, surgical lights, and then usually people are singing French drinking songs or something. Honestly one of the weirdest places I've ever been. Have tried to go in many weekends, but usually end up feeling extremely strange and full of anxiety because of the bright lights. Weird place, worth going for the experience. Full of college kids, cheap drinks, etc. But man, never seen lights this bright in my life.
