Love it for what it is. A dive bar that does not sell food. It had one solid local IPAon tap and that was it. Great prices but no frills. This is the way.
If you want sweet drinks and tchotchkes, go to Bourbon Street. Here, all you’ll find are locals, some cheap 24-hour drinking, and an endless supply of bar stories. Go for the basics: Miller or Bud.
Nevermind my previous comment; yeah, the drinks are cheap but Russell will cut you off if he deems "necessary". Which is not cool, especially for a bartender. Other than that, he was a nice dude
