It's sad to see, but Four Seasons & Den Patio Bar is coming to a close. The entrance is now full of…read moreweeds; there was no one in the bar, and there were two people in the back when I recently visited. The patio bar is no longer, and according to the lady at the front of the bar, they are no longer having drag shows. So unless someone buys and takes over operations, you can kiss this one goodnight! Oh, and they closed at 11 p.m. on a Wednesday night.

I've seen a lot of promotions for this place as of late so since we were in the area we stopped in…read moreon a Thursday night. People were friendly and they have a nice selection of wine, beer and drinks. The A-frame style building seems like it should be positioned in upper state Wisconsin and not here but somehow it works. The combination of the indoor corner bar feel and the outside patio bar and their offerings makes for a fun experience. I'll be back.

A local initially gave us the recommendation and it's my favorite place to go to find community in the French quarter. I have to say that each time I've been in, staff and guests have been friendly, chill, and welcoming. Great local bar vibe at various times of the day!

I have to admit Jamie W and I were expecting a more convivial atmosphere given the name, but it…read morejust wasn't meant to be. The bartenders were young, and the only business we saw consisted of drunk women who looked like they made a wrong turn off Bourbon Street. 8PM may have been too early to expect a congregation of social sisters.. No Espresso Martinis to be found here, so we went with our standby, the $12 Tequila Sunrises (Photo 5). They were satisfying enough. Not much interaction with the bartenders who preferred socializing with each other. Ah, youth. We'll give it another try the next time we're in Nawlins, but The Golden Lantern was a friendlier spot. DRINKS - 3.5 stars...potent enough at a good Happy Hour price AMBIANCE - 3 stars...pretty vacant when we were here SERVICE - 2.5 stars...preoccupied...with each other TOTAL - 3 stars...good friends?

And I'm so glad we did, because we made friends and had to come back 2 more times before we left NOLA. It's a dive but a quirky and unique one. We had all kinds of different drinks, including the homemade Jell-O shots, and loved every one. Get to know the staff and you'll be so glad that you did. They are truly all amazing and so much fun. Good vibes only!

Chances are pretty likely that this is the friendliest gay bar in New Orleans. Jamie W and I were…read moredoing a rather cursory search when we came upon the enthusiastic reviews for this corner spot on the northeastern edge of the French Quarter. It definitely felt off the beaten track because it required a ride on the red Riverfront Streetcar Line. When we entered the premises, we immediately thought it was a sports bar given all the TV screens that were on, each featuring a different game. Sitting at the bar, there was more of a frisky friendliness from the bearish bartender. His gregarious personality made us feel right at home and not like some dyed-in-the-wool tourists. The subtle decorative elements exposed the true orientation of the bar. There was also a baby boomer vibe because where else would you see a vintage movie poster of "Man's Favorite Sport?" starring Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss (Photo 3). The price was right: $5 Tequila Sunrises (Photo 10). They were potent, too. Keep 'em comin'. DRINKS - 5 stars...the price and potency were just right AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...divey and a tad crowded SERVICE - 4 stars...nice bartender TOTAL - 4 stars...another round might've pushed this rating to 5 stars RELATED - Exploring New Orleans?

Sadly Milan Lounge went waaay down and lost their long time location. They have moved to a new…read morelocation on Prytania Street right behind Superior Grill and across from August Moon/Mayfair Lounge. This is known by many as a "cursed location" as so many different businesses have failed here. My recent visit to the new location of Milan Lounge did not give me much confidence that they will survive long. I attempted to order a beer and they ONLY had 5 beers left... All of the 5 remaining beers were light beers and I don't waste my time with those so I had to leave to find my real beer elsewhere. Really sad to to see another long time NOLA institution going down the painful path to becoming another Ain't Dere No More addition... I hope they find a way but most people that know more things than me have little faith it can continue...

Sometimes you stop here because you have the munchies and you really want a burger or some delicious bar food to help sustain you, even if it is just a bag of potato chips. Sometimes you stop here for a spicy pickle shot and great music. And sometimes it's just stupid hot outside, and you can really just use the air conditioning and a break. It really doesn't matter what the impetus is for you stopping at the Crossing. They have great deals on their beverages, great music to enjoy (or dance around to), and amazing waitstaff that will engage and entertain. If you're ever wandering up Dauphine and need a little pick me up, whatever format that might be in, chances are the Crossing has got what you need, and you certainly won't regret it!
