So, yes I found myself here at this questionable Belle Chasse bar, but I had a good excuse- it was…read moreDavid's birthday and he wanted to pop in and see if it had changed in the last 10 years since he had been here. Sadly, I must admit that it had been way less than 10 years since I had been here, but I went anyway. We were here on a Saturday night, after midnight, and the place was packed with Belle Chasse dude bros looking to shoot pool and party. The place is pretty dark, which is probably a good thing and they had a DJ mixing up all the hits from 2008. They don't have much of a quality beer selection, so I had a Corona and we found one of the few tables and sat down and people watched. The crowd is pretty young and I think David and I were a couple of the older patrons, but it was definitely an eclectic bunch of people. The majority of the people who party here are from just "down the road" in Belle Chasse, so it's not a destination type of hang out. I'm not sure where the "grill" part comes in: I'm pretty sure I didn't see any type of menu and I wouldn't eat here anyway. It's a good place to hang out if you want to see some good ol' Plaqy boys line dancing to "pre-Lemonade" Beyoncé.

While the only thing they serve for food is pizza all the time a few nights a week they have popups on the large covered patio ranging from boiled crawfish, steak night and even lasagna.

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)

We were here semi-late and it was pretty much dead. There are pool tables and darts and basic beer. This is a definite "neighborhood" type place, in that I can't really see anyone making this place a destination for the evening, unless they lived 5 minutes away. It's Westbank, so of course smoking is allowed and the place is small so it gets pretty musty. The bartender was nice and it wasn't a bad place to end the evening.

This bar looks like nothing from the outside and the interior isn't much better. The karaoke was entertaining as there are regulars here that really made the karaoke "interesting".

The Rickshaw is a dive bar. The service is pretty good and is frequented by what appears to be a…read morelot of local regulars. 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.

I have wondered about this bar since I was a kid. The name conjures up images of a sleazy strip…read moreclub or a dark place filled with lewd behavior. Well, I am here to tell you, it isn't any of those things. The Naughty Knight is a bar for drinkers. It is open 24 hours, so regardless of when you need a beer, they'll be open. I ended up here after a yelp event. I was super excited to try it after always wondering what it was like. After all that anticipation, it didn't live up to the hype in my mind. Inside there is a bar, pool tables and a internet connected jukebox. The jukebox was great as I was able to listen and dance to Frank Sinatra, and then rap to BG. Imagine how impressed my friends were. Beer was very cheap and plentiful. They do sell frozen pizzas for $5, but I do not recommend you try one. It looked like the frozen pizzas at the dollar store and the bartender confirmed that is what they were. I came back a second time, but didn't stay. the vibe seemed different. I am sure I will end up here again though, as WB bars are good spots to close out a night. If you're looking for a place to drink at all hours of the day or night, give the Naughty Knight a try.

To call Roaring 20s merely a "dive bar" would be a disservice. No, we're talking *dive lounge* and…read moreI mean this as the highest compliment. Normally, I avoid day drinking. I think it's because I just love night drinking so much. Well, I can get past that because Roaring 20s makes you feel like it's always nighttime! The cave-like interior is dark with dim red lighting. It feels like you're entering someone's basement rec room in the mid 70s, old couch in a corner, vinyl bar stools, wood paneling and low ceilings and all. Think of Ted Knight's daughters' ultra cool basement pad in Too Close For Comfort, only realllly fucking dark. Visits from Monroe not included. I dare you to *not* stay and hang out, even if the sun is shining brightly outside (stay a couple hours and maybe it'll be dark by the time you leave). So, you ring the bell, the bartender buzzes you in, and you walk past a small group of friendly older gents sitting at the bar. A quick perusal and no skinny jeans-wearing hipster in sight. So, no, not a dive bar at all as we know 'em today. Thankfully. As a gal, sometimes you might feel odd walking into a place where you the only one. You might even worry for a second if you've just entered a men's-only club. But! "Unescorted ladies" are not only welcomed at Roaring 20s, they get their second drink for free (that's what the little paper cup that the bartender puts in front of you means)! And don't even think for a second you'll be fending off undesirable come ons from the regulars. It's very much be and let be here. In a world full of contrived dive bars, Roaring 20s stands out as a comfortable place for "unescorted ladies," is cheap, allows smoking (the air purifier does a decent job), has a friendly clientele and feels like the elusive "real deal."

Roaring 20's is a great example of a West Bank dive bar…read more I have been wanting to try Roaring 20's for years. I was never brave enough to venture in, but recently read a review (thanks Joi) that renewed my interest. Since it was fresh on my mind, and my friend had never been there either, we made the long trek to Terrytown. We pulled in around 5 a.m. on a Saturday night and the place looked packed. We walked to the door and pushed the buzzer. The buzzer adds an exclusive feel and makes you feel like you're being judged before you enter. When they didn't immediately open the door, I became self conscious that I wasn't cool enough or properly attired. Lucky for us, the bartender had stepped away from the buzzer and a friendly patron opened the door. When we walked to the bar the bartender shook our hands and introduced herself as Sandy. Sandy told us that she knew as soon as we walked in that we had never been there before. She was very friendly and welcoming. She explained that we should make ourselves at home and have fun. She must have assumed we were fancy people because when I ordered water, she explained that they only had tap water and hoped that was ok. I told her that we had read about the bar on the internet, but she just laughed as if it was impossible. The bar had a small dance floor, jukebox and two couches. What made this bar even better was the woman taking a nap on one of the couches. This was a great experience and was everything I imagined it would be. It is too bad that it took a yelp review for me to build up the nerve to go. If you want a laid back dive bar, I recommend you give Roaring 20's a try.
