A New Orleans-inspired bar and restaurant in the Alameda neighborhood with a lively, eclectic atmosphere and strong cocktails anchored by bourbon and rum. Live blues and jazz music on weekends makes it one of the more fun and soulful spots in the city. The Sazerac and Hurricane are both worth ordering. It can get very loud when live music is playing, which is the whole point.
