A must stop with an appreciation for writers and literary culture. The menu is a great - both bar and kitchen - and they have a Hemingway Tiki mug
CarlaCSeptember 17, 2016Divey little place with a classy concept. The kitchen is consistent, the food exceptional, and the prices amazingly reasonable for the FQ. Just wish they "fork" out for utensils that aren't plastic.

Aubri O'ConnorAugust 9, 2014The Kobe beef burger blends sweet, salt, and savor perfectly. Plus, actually cooked to requested temperature! Add a painstakingly squeezed juice, and you have a great meal!
Kelly SelbyNovember 2, 2016Sara the bartender is one of the best bartenders in the french quarter, excellent mixologist & attentive .
Mary CollinJune 9, 2014Fantastic place. Amazing food. Had half a Cuban & Blue Moon. Great team. Ian's facial hair is impressive!- Chad WiseJuly 17, 2014Whitman is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. This place is stupid cheap, too!
- Good music, good prices on draft comfy seats. Get your literary nerd on happily.
Graham MattisonMarch 25, 2014Is someone seriously complaining that the drinks had too much booze? They cost half of what they do two blocks over and they're delicious. Shut The Fuck Up!
- David SheibleyJuly 18, 2014Whitman roast beef sandwich is awesome, great sandwiches for very little money!
Ang CSeptember 28, 2013Drinks weren't great. Too heavy handed with the liquor. Service was ok, although the bartender was very negative and complained a lot. Internet went out so cash only bar after that. Over priced.

"The Tuesday-only filet (steak) is the bomb. Medium rare. Their pizza and burgers are also good. Try the pizza fries."
