Editorial Review
Yeah, it's popular with tourists and, yeah, it's not really the oldest building in New Orleans and, yeah, the piano guy plays cheesy tunes. But the tourists who drink there are a cut above the louts down the street, the building is still incredibly old, and "Moon River" is preferable to the garbage blaring out of the daiquiri holes. Like New Orleans itself, this dimly-lit dive has a certain elan that isn't reproducible anywhere else, and it's always fun to drink in a place that's as old as America itself.
