In Short
Weathered picnic benches and a bike rack fill in the front yard of this virtual treasure trove of blues. Minus the slight nod to New Orleans in name, the spirit of the bar remains distinctly Houstonian. Pictures of blues legends hang among knickknacks footnoting local music lore. On stage, real-life blues legends like Luther and the Healers serenade the boot scootin,' blues-loving crowd.

The name sounds sketchy and the building looks even worse, but its great once you get inside. Its just a little bar, no great furniture or anything, but they always have live jazz and blue's bands that are really fun to dance to! Drinks are about the same as anywhere else in the Rice Village and the crowds that go there are very friendly.

We love the music and dance floor, always great music but I think most patrons would be willing to pay $10 to get in rather than $5 if they would replace the barstools and clean the place up a bit. Last visit my wooden barstool had only 1/2 a seat. The others were covered with filthy cloth so we had to stand the whole night or get our clothes dirty. I understand from my grown children that this is part of the atmosphere but I think they've carried dirty a little far!!

I love the blues. The live music that played was wonderful and professional. No garage band here. However, the male help is less than desirable. I noticed how the owner of the bar would sit in the corner and when someone took his seat (you couldn't tell anyone was sitting there or using that chair, as it was off in the corner), he acted as if you stole his wife. Though he wasn't mean to me (thank gawd)- the only male bartender with the black 80's flock of seagull haircut was. I stood there as he helped everyone but me. He very non-appologetically gave me the drink free though I that wasn't what I wanted- I just wanted to be served in the order of the cue-up. You could tell he couldn't a smile and to talk to him he wouldn't even look at you until I had to say, "Do I have to speak up?( to get served here?)" three times. I wasn't even being obnoxious, just asking a matter of fact question. So he said, "I'm just making sure my best client gets a drink". Then the client himself, an obvious alcoholic man in his 90's, turned to me and said, "And I tip like a Mo' Fo'". The free drink sucked and I'm sure if I weren't standing there watching he would have put mucus in it. The blonde waitress was very kind and attentive. She and the music were the only positive things about the place. Like the previous reviewer, I too will be letting others know about my experience at this bar. With all the places in Houston to choose from that will go out of their way to make you feel good, why go here?
