3/5 · Raised voice required · guessconfidence: lowOne snippet mentions 'quiet and empty on a Tuesday afternoon' (snippet 5) and another describes a 'wall mounted juke box played a range of music' (snippet 7), suggesting variable and moderate noise levels, but most snippets lack explicit loudness discussion.
“This is quickly becoming a late night or early morning go-to spot for me. Quality beverages at a good price, great food, and good music! 24/7 eats including breakfast or dinner anytime. I've destroyed some chimichangas the last couple of visits - they're my fav. Pardon my pics, I…”
“I do love this place as a divey / authentic neighborhood music spot. On my 50th birthday, my infant niece was kicked out of this bar which will be a story told at her wedding. Funny enough, you can do almost anything in NOLA but you best not bring a baby into a bar even when it…”
“We chose to eat here and hang out for a bit. The food was great! And the drink selection was also really good. For being smaller, this place had a fantastic variety! Really enjoy this place! Will be back again!”
