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)

In fact, it was probably less than 15 minutes before we got the text that we could come in. There's lots of seating and they have a full bar. A coffee machine, juice and a water machine are also available. The breakfast options were actually pretty good with eggs, bagels and toast, yogurt, parfait, fresh fruit, as well as other items. It was clean, and there was plenty of staff coming around, making sure the tables were remained in tiptop shape.

The bathrooms are also very well maintained. The biggest downside is the food. The selection is usually very limited, and the quality is nothing special. Customer service is also inconsistent. During my visit this morning, the staff didn't greet or acknowledge customers, which made the lounge feel less welcoming. Overall, it's a good place to sit, relax, and recharge in a clean environment, but the food and customer service could definitely be improved.

Probably the worst chicken Shawarma wrap/sandwich I have ever had. And I have had a lot. I swear…read morethe people who made this have never seen or eaten shawarma in their life. The wrap basically looked and tasted like someone opened a cream of chicken can of soup into a wrap. It had zero seasoning, nothing at all. It said it came with pickles, it only has some limp green stalks in it, looks like green beans or celery. Who would put this into a wrap and call it shawarma? The rest of the order was missing stuff, like instead of a salad was basically some veggies(bell peppers, cucumbers) minus anything that makes a salad a salad. Not like a Greek salad, or cucumber/ tomato salad. It was supposed to be an actual salad but had mostly bell peppers, one leaf of lettuce. The hummus was real liquidy. And we were missing tzatziki sauce that was supposed to come. Won't ever be back at this establishment again. Only good thing about this order was the fries. I would love to get a refund but I got it for delivery.

Yesterday was my first time going to loft 18 and I enjoyed myself. It was just two of us who went…read moreand we booked a bay for 1 hr. Our time was for 4:45 and since we went before 6, it was only $15 for the hour(weekday price) which is reasonably priced. The place is smaller than I thought it would be, as there are only 5 bays for the games, but still nice. Once we arrived the host showed us the screen all the games were on and how to select the games. Each bay comes with the different equipment needed for the games. We were going to play a baseball game, but our bay didn't have the stand to put the baseball on so you could hit it. I told one of the workers and she said she would get the stand from another bay. She looked and couldn't find a baseball stand at any of the bays. So I will say that's something they could improve on making sure they have the proper equipment for all the games. Besides that, we had fun. 1 hour was enough time for the 2 of us to try out different games. If you have more than 2 people I'd suggest getting more time. After we played we decided to eat. The menu has a lot of stuff to choose from, and there's a barcode at the top that you can scan that shows you pictures of most of the items on the menu. I like this because you can see how the food will look before you get it. My friend was going to order the sweet and spicy burger but they were out of the sauce, so she decided to order the Philly cheese steak. She wanted sweet potato fries, but they were out of those too so she got the truffle fries. I ordered the Chipped n chicken with a side salad and Brussel sprouts. The side salad was a nice size and was good. Food came out in a decent amount of time and we enjoyed it. My friend was surprised her Philly was on regular bread vs a roll but enjoyed it nonetheless. I enjoyed my chicken and Brussel sprouts. They give you a good bit of Brussel sprouts and I couldn't finish it because I was full. I will just say that Brussel sprouts are the only vegetables available as a side and it doesn't mention that it has bacon on it. I can eat bacon, but just thought I'd mention for those who may not eat it or who may be vegetarian. Food is priced well as there's only 1 item on there over $20. While there I also saw that they have trivia nights sometime and a recent advertisement for bingo but the music version so it's called singo. I'll be back to try more of the menu and to play more games.
