Summer is here and sometimes all we need is a drink to beat that unbearable Louisiana heat and…read morehumidity. Drive over to Alky Therapy Daiquiris is just what the doctor ordered. Go pick up a creatively delish and potent liquid prescription to cool you down! The saying "Don't judge a book by its cover," comes to mind as I made my way there. I must admit that I was unsure of the sketchy location on my first visit. (If you're really that worried, just bring a friend and you'll be fine). When you arrive, you'll drive around the back in order to get to the drive-thru window located on the left side of the building, check out the menu, and then ring the bell when you're ready. This place is strictly drive-thru only and it takes a bit of time to prepare the daiquiris, which are well worth the wait! As a first timer, I appreciated the friendly service from them. If you're on a time crunch, you can call ahead to order your daqs so they'll be ready for pickup. Also, if you're watching your sugar intake, this drink is not for you- it's loaded with sugar and candy toppings. Be prepared for the sugar rush and brain freeze! Your drink comes inside a plastic jar, which conveniently sits inside a giant styrofoam cup with a sealed lid, making it very travel friendly for the car ride. I got to try the mango colada and it did indeed taste like a pina colada with a subtle mango flavor. Each daq comes with different kinds of candy toppings for you to enjoy. They have a sizable menu of drink options available, including a virgin option, but if you're going to make your way here- definitely get a daq with an extra shot if you want to be adventurous! They have Jell-O shots, syringe shots, and boozy popsicles but I'd call to make sure they're in stock before making the drive out there. There's 20 different flavors to cater to everyone's tastes to start/end your evening with a bang and a boom! Alky Therapy Daiquiris are a big hit in the SBC so stop by when you're in need of an unique and creative alcoholic refreshment. They even have a special flavor featured every month. Yelpers, y'all need to go treat yourselves now!!! FYI: Hours of operation are Thurs(3pm-10pm), Fri-Sat(3pm-11pm) and Sun(3pm-8pm). Only 2 separate forms of payment can be accepted per car.

After taking a couple minutes to decide. I chose the shrimp poboy. It was delivered at 12:05, with the tails on. Before I could eat, I had to pull them off. It was fantastic. So I guess I'll be okay. By 12:20 I was cashing out lunch for one $20. They issued a 20% discount for my military id.

When in Shreveport on a Monday, your dining options are...limited (unless you fancy a casino…read moredinner, which we did not). So, we ended up here--the only place open that wasn't serving up blackjack with a side of fries. First up: water. Now, if you've never had Louisiana tap water, let me tell you--it tastes like someone steeped a bag of potting soil in it for 12 hours. I was about to blame this restaurant until a little Google dive informed me that most of Louisiana water just tastes like this due to geosmin and MIB (algae bloom byproducts, apparently). Fun fact that nobody asked for, but here we are. Anyway, we pivoted HARD to cocktails. I ordered a Belvedere martini, which was well-made by Dustin but oddly expensive considering this wasn't exactly a swanky downtown hotspot. For dinner: Hubbs went for shrimp fettuccine, and while it was fine, it didn't exactly make us want to write home about it. I, on the other hand, ordered Natchitoches meat pies, thinking they'd be the real deal imported from the famous place there. Oh, how naive I was. Instead, they were sad little impostors, baked instead of fried, and just...meh. Final bill: almost $100 for four drinks and two average entrées. If we're dropping that kinda cash, I'd prefer a meal that didn't require an emergency cocktail switch just to recover from the water.

They offer a…read morehappy hour Tues-Sat that ends at 6pm, so making a reservation to order wines/apps at 5:30 worked out well for us. The menu has changed in the last year (apologies for lack of photos), so I recommend checking the website's menu for the most current offerings. The potato beignets were a hit appetizer- although truly the oddest beignets I've ever seen- I would order again without hesitation. The kabocha squash hummus and Brussels sprouts were also immediate hits. My duck confit was exceptional and the banana creme pie was enough for 4 people to enjoy a few bites. The menu strikes a nice balance of varied southern/french tastes but focused for quality and thoughtfully curated. Although I noted that we were celebrating a graduation when making the reservation, it was never acknowledged. That said, the service was warm and attentive overall, with the only drawback being infrequent water refills. The volume in the dining room fluctuated and became a bit louder toward the end of our meal. Overall, this restaurant manages to feel both intimate and refined. A charming, upscale spot that's well suited for a special occasion.

The purple sweet potato bread was easily the highlight of the meal. Give me two more orders and call it a night. I had the salmon with wilted spinach, heirloom peas, leeks, and gribiche. The salmon was cooked perfectly with crispy skin, while the peas brought an earthy, slightly nutty flavor with a creamy texture that paired beautifully with the leeks and tomatoes. If I'm ever back in town, this will be the first restaurant I visit.

We LOVE coming here for our favorite bartender mike (or Mr. Bolton as i call him lol) who never fails to make us amazing drinks and show us a great time... Folks I'm not kidding the man should be considered a national treasure lol. The bar itself is small but classy and has a great atmosphere when it's not packed to the brim lol but even then it's still a good time. The ONLY downfall to this place is that is allows smoking (I don't smoke), but that may be a positive to you smokers out there so hey win win I guess? Lol!

While in town I was looking for a nice place to enjoy a good cigar, so I turned to my handy dandy…read moreYelp app and up popped M.A.'s Smoke House. Upon arriving, to my surprise, I found this place to be right next door (the 2 places share the front patio area). I later learned that both places are under the same ownership; M.A.'s Smoke House is the more typical cigar shop while this place is more of a lounge. While they have overlapping hours at certain points of the day; the difference are worth noting. For openers, while they are great choices, this place has a smaller selection of cigars. That said, as I was told, for a greater selection of cigars to M.A.'s Smoke House before they close and then come over here to enjoy your smoke. And enjoy I did, Havana Sports & Cigar Bar has a fully stocked bar which serves craft cocktails. If bourbon, whisky, etc. isn't for you, they also have several beers on tap. The bartenders were both friendly and great at what they do. As if this wasn't enough, this place has pool table which was well kept. There is also plenty (and by plenty, I mean a significant amount) of indoor seating which includes tables/chairs along with comfy couches and chairs. If sitting indoors is not your thing, there is a nice sized sidewalk patio with plenty of comfortable seating/tables. As previously mentioned, the patio is shared with M.A.'s Smoke House. Lastly, there are several restaurants in the immediate vicinity (i.e. walking distance) which makes it easy to make a great evening/night by dining first and then stopping here for and after dinner cigar and cocktail. If you live in the Shreveport area and want a great spot to chillax at; this is it. If you're just visiting and looking for a great chillaxin spot; look no further as this is it. I look forward to stopping in on my next visit to the area.

First I'll say, the drinks tasted off and did not taste like the drink we ordered. Second, the queso itself was not bad but I've had much better for a third of the price. Now the chips was awful, had a stale taste and even some had stiffness. Not exactly a good look for a "highly prestige establishment." I had Caesar salad and it was also not the very best. One bite tasted like a "stink bug" was in my salad. It tasted exactly how it smells. Very gross! The main course was subpar at best my steaks were cooked exactly as I asked but not the best I've ever eaten. I think the best meal out of all was the lobster Mac and cheese that my daughter ate. Everything else wasn't all that great given the price I had to pay, which was $270. One and done for me and my family. Only reason for two stars instead of one was because of the waitress and the restaurant looked really nice, very well kept and clean.
