    Great music venue, authentic, absolutely worth the departure from Bourbon St
    No red syrup tourist hurricanes here.
    If so inclined, ask for rum punch , a real drink instead,

    The atmosphere was great, they have a nice variety of cigars, and the music was awesome. The only downside was they have no food or snacks. If they had a little something simple ti chow on we would have stayed longer.

    Heard about this bar from some locals. Bartender cool - very vigilant on checking vax status. One lady forgot her vax card because her kid had her phone and bartender made her kid send a pic to one of her friends to show. Outside patio was a lot nicer than expected. Drinks average price. Seemed like a lot of people knew each other and went there often.

    Little dive bar with a local feel, felt a little conscious of being there as a tourist but still enjoyed an awesome night out watching Soul Rebels brass band who were amazing.

    Madigan's is a classy local bar, well known for its' draft beer served in frosted mugs. The scene changes a bit depending on what time of year you visit. There are always a good deal of locals frequenting Madigan's but a good size college crowd when school is in. Still a college crown in the summer but mostly local kids who come home for the summer. Much more mature than your average college bar though. It's been a staple of up-town for decades.

    We went for Tuesday trivia night; the last night of a four part series on real life murder trivia. Our trivia host was so personable - loved her style! Very disarming.

    There was a pile of local beer available and whatever else you'd like.

    The service is at the bar and they were nice.

    I love the place. It was filled with character. I'd love to see a band there because it's such an intimate atmosphere.

    We saw Sweet Crude, Valerie Sassyfras, Boyfriend, Candy Snatch the drag queen, and a burlesque-style stripper there.

    I would highly recommend Gasa Gasa and Sweet Crude as well as Boyfriend as acts to see too! We bought tickets and I`m glad we did - the place was packed.

    The venue is standing only, but in our case we were so entertained that we hardly noticed. Who would want to sit for these acts anyway? I get the feeling that this type of evening is somewhat typical of Gasa Gasa.

    Our evening at Gasa Gasa was memorable and fantastic. I would go back in a heartbeat.

    A fun friendly Neighborhood bar. Good selection of craft beers. The bartender was very helpful in writing down information for me, with the help of the very friendly and interesting regulars, concerning music venues, bars and restaurants, that are frequented by the locals. Shuffleboard and good music...........not live.
    Look forward to returning on my next visit to New Orleans.

    Literally had to sit and figure out the last time I was here. It ends up that it was somewhere around 1993 when I went to Loyola! It was (and still is) a huge college hangout, as Tulane, Loyola and other universities are nearby and it's on the St. Charles streetcar line.
    Place was always quite popular (read: pretty crowded), with a large on-tap beer selection, bar games, video poker and good bar food. It hasn't changed much.
    Big screens all around now and better food. Open "'til" pretty much every night. Bartenders are young, good-attituders with good bar knowledge. Great can and bottle beer selection, too.
    Stopped in with a friend for lunch and a couple of beers on a weekday afternoon. We split one of the Radiator Special Po-boys, which features fried shrimp and fried oysters, house cheese blend and Crystal (sauce) Remoulade sauce. Mine came with pickles and cucumbers, which appeared (I didn't ask) to be homemade, and were an excellent addition.
    This is one of the few places in NOLA (New Orleans) that has beer on tap that is potable. I've mentioned before that New Orleans is not called 'the city that care forgot' for nothing. I NEVER drink tap beer ANYWHERE here because of the cleanliness of the beer lines. This place is an exception and the beer on tap is always great. We also had the loaded fries, which any bar can make of course, but Cooter's are beer-battered with pulled pork and shredded cheddar cheese with sour cream, jalopenos, carmelized onions and honey BBQ sauce. YUMM!!
    Ambiance is casual, and even with four total beers, a great, large sandwich and fries, the bill was under $30.
    Definitely WILL be back (after 26 years!). Casual atmosphere. Get off the streetcar (NOT the trolley) at St. Charles and Carrollton (yes, two "L's") and walk across the street. On a nice, summer afternoon, walk across the street and sit on the levee and watch the river and boats passing on the Mississippi. Enjoy!

    Nice for pre game drinks…. I don’t think I’d come here other than for that type of deal…. Drinks a little on the high side too. Typical college town bar

    The Other Bar is a fun local hangout on Freret. They have a good happy hour from 5-8pm with $5 mules, margaritas, and mojitos. The bartender is very friendly. They have free skeeball and many board games to play. It is a great smaller, more casual bar to go to.

    Met some local friends at Henry's. What a delightful and friendly place. We had a great time chatting with the regulars. They treated us like "old friends" and made us feel welcome. I wish we had a Henry's in our hometown neighborhood. We were told that a restaurant would be coming in early November. I hope it is successful.

    Called in to this bar for a beer and to have a look and the barmaid, supported by some local patrons, blatantly tried to rip me off. Handed over $20 to pay for a $3 beer and the barmaid and a local tried to say that I hadn't paid any money...got to bit of a stand off until one local backed me up and said she saw me hand over the $20. So got my change but very disappointing thing to happen after a week of fabulous hospitality in Nola.
