Jess O'Halloran: Beautiful little square, great music and drinks on Wednesdays at the square. Go for the abita drinks stalls (amber beer is the best) for some local (louisiana) brewed booze
Ryan Eugene: Small park in the Central Business District that's a great space during all seasons. Mardi Gras parades pass by in winter, festivals are in spring and fall, and in summer it's a great place to relax.

Rebecca Ratliff: Happy hour oysters and half priced beer! Get the house brewed amber ale!
John Graham: House amber ale is excellent. Staff is beyond friendly. Took a little long for the main course, but a surprise drink on the house made up for it. They let my 2 year old run around, so bonus points.
Steph: everything I've had here has been amazing. love the steak frites and the croque monsieur!

Cedric Johnson: Great bottled beer selection. Limited but great tap selection. Great for bucket specials, and the patio is top notch!
Sam Brooks: What an awesome back patio! Don't be fooled by the tiny front room. Venture out back. It's well worth it!

Valerie Petrov: Delicious cocktails! The shrimp and grits were also amazing. Loved it.
R.J.: Never disappointed. Great food, drink, and service. Don't leave without the Creme Brulee.
Robbert Vorhoff: Love this place. Right on Jackson square. Great turtle soup, gumbo and BBQ shrimp. Avoid the blackened chicken sandwich. No seasoning and smothered in mayo
Nicole Cheramie: Party with music legends at this famous venue for live music. Come early to snap a few pics of the artsy interior. Don't want to stand for the show? Balcony seats are first come with comfy seats.
Ellen DeGeneres: I heard my friend Barbara Menendez's band play here. They're called "The Help" and they are amazing.
VH1: One really cool thing about this location is that sections of the building’s structure dates back to 1890, where it was used as a trading post, warehouse, and shoe factory. – Team Live Nation
