I was super excited to see him do his thing but I had no idea that I was in for one of the best nights I've had in years! The staff is amazing and super friendly and makes you feel right at home. The drinks are generously poured and very well made. They offer a small selection of some typical bar food items if you're wanting to keep a balance between booze and food. The crowd of people was just absolutely amazing and this was easily like I had already said one of the best nights I've had in years! If you're looking for a fun night out in Gulfport go see my buddy on a Friday and have a blast! Sing your hearts out at karaoke, dance your booty off in between and don't forget to tip your bartenders! ** there is also a bar area outside but the Chicago girl was not built for that**

I have walked into plenty of shady establishments in my time on this earth. I have often wondered…read moreif I would walk out of some, but occasionally I've found a gem. Cochiara is one such gem. Growing up in South Louisiana I spent a lot of time in Grand Isle. Heading there we would always stop at a friend's gas station/fishing supply/bar on the way to the island. I always remember the old men sitting at the bar laughing and drinking while we tried to convince my parents to buy us candy. Throughout the years I have visited many a boat launch and marina in Louisiana fishing communities with similar businesses. These places have always reminded me of those family trips and they always bring me great joy. After a recent trip to Boutte's for dinner, I discovered another place that made my quite happy. Cochiara is the convenience store/bar next to a boat launch. There used to be hotel rooms here, but I think they no longer exist. Inside is much more of a bar than convenience store, but there are chips and soft drinks should you need supplies for a fishing trip. The crowd was primarily local, but very friendly. I think I was tested by some locals when they noticed me singing David Alan Coe, but I must have passed with flying colors as they welcomed us with open arms. This may have been because I am a very likable guy with an incredible knowledge of country music. If you're not me, or not with me, you may have issues, but I will be glad to offer pointers for a small fee. The jukebox was stocked with old country classics, but also had some surprises including Madonna. The beer selection was somewhat lacking unless you are a fan of Bud products. When asked what beer they had besides Bud Light, the bartender advised of us of no less than seven different Bud products. If I buy a camp in Lafitte I will become a regular here. Even if I don't, I will make sure and stop on every trip I make. Note: I am thinking bars like this would make a great UYE. I wonder if we can figure out a way to do all waterfront bars one night.

This is a cool little bar in Lafitte. Good jukebox with old country on it. Really nice people and…read morecheap drinks. What more could you ask for? It's a really big place with a pool table, a dance floor and a bunch of snacks that you can buy if you want something to munch on. In this town everyone knows everyone. A young guy came up to my friend and me and asked where we were from. If you aren't from the area, go in and be nice and the locals will treat you like one of their own.

Went for end of Pride Month event and had a blast. One older person (older than myself just a few…read moreyears shy of 60) came in before things really started and complained about the volume. Funny thing with that is while I'll say it was loud, as I expected since it is a club etc, I myself am hard of hearing since birth, I was around 15 feet away from her when she said it and I actually heard her. They serve beer and wine, very small selection, and the prices are reasonable. (Sorry to add so late. Accidentally hit post and tried to edit immediately and ran into problems on my end)

We rode the motorcycle out here on a Saturday evening. The ride itself was lovely, but the…read moredestination was even better! It's a whole world away from New Orleans in vibes, but it's less than an hour drive. Tee Wee's is a food truck parked right by the water. There's plenty of seating and it's under a roof, so come rain or shine. They had live music tonight with a band playing all the classics and favorites! There's a full bar too if you're interested in libations We tried the crawfish empanadas ($8) and blackened fish tacos with fries ($15). Both items were hot, fresh, and delicious! I especially loved the blackened fish tacos, it was so good! I could have had 3 more of those! It certainly seems like a local favorite hang, but I would highly recommend non-locals to check it out for both the drive out there and to stop by for a bite and enjoy the fantastic atmosphere!

We just ate the best Po' Boys! I can't say enough about the…read moreshrimp and the red fish po' boys-- they are the best I've had in a long time! Fresh shrimp were perfectly seasoned and fried to golden and crispy, while still juicy and tender inside. The redfish was fresh, flaky, and full of flavor, with just the right amount of spice. Both sandwiches were piled high on soft, warm French bread with crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and a creamy remoulade that tied everything together beautifully. If you're craving an authentic, mouthwatering po' boy, this place is a must.

It has a very relaxing, elegant vibe and definitely caters…read moremore to a mature, older crowd, which makes it feel calm and classy instead of loud and chaotic. You need a password to get in (which you find on their Instagram or Facebook), and that alone makes it feel fun and exclusive. It's located on the bottom level of the apartment complex on the right side near the main road, there is an electric ring type doorbell you press and someone opens the window for the password. Then the door is opened. The space is beautiful and stylish with a cozy, upscale feel. There is also a sign posted for appropriate attire required, which adds to the classy atmosphere and helps keep the vibe elegant. Building parking is located on the south side and towards the second apartment building. You can make a reservation on their website if you want, but they did mention that their reservation system can be a little unreliable at times. I had a reservation and they were still able to get me in with no problem, but it didn't seem like they saw or recognized the reservation when I arrived. They only serve tapas and small plates, which is perfect for light snacking while you enjoy drinks. The cocktails were really good, fairly priced, and the service was friendly and relaxed. The bathroom was clean, but it is shared (not separated by gender). There is one bathroom inside the bar and an additional one located outside the main bar door in a different location. One small suggestion would be the lighting. It was very bright inside, and a darker environment would really help set a better mood and tone to match the speakeasy vibe. Overall, this is a great place if you're looking for a calm, stylish spot with good drinks, decent prices, and a more mature crowd. It's perfect for a quiet date night or just a laid-back evening out.
