Happy Raptor Distilling, LLC

Distillery

👍👍 The new guy (bartender?) Jack, is awesome! We took the distillery tour with him and he was so knowledgeable and friendly. I really enjoyed seeing the fermentation site of course because I’m a science nerd. The variety of rum was so awesome! We had to get the banana’s foster rum for home. Great place...

Cafe

👍👍 Such a great coffee shop!

Anti-Gravity Salon

Hair salon

😠 LOVED my barber, my cuts were always great. However the communication from this salon is atrocious. The only way to get in contact is to text a number that is rarely answered. I had to reschedule my appointment weeks ago never got confirmation that my barber even got the message and after leaving my...

Bésame

Restaurant

👍👍 My wife and I came to New Orleans for a concert at the Saenger and had to kill a little time before we could check in to our hotel, so we thought we'd get a bite to eat. Our Hotel was the Vinache, so we googled places to eat near me, and Besame came up. We made the short walk and were delighted from...

Bywater Brew Pub

Brewpub

👍👍 First time here, the atmosphere was very relaxed. My partner got the tacos 🌮, he enjoyed it and I got the Bywater salad 🥗 w/ shrimp 🍤 added. We don't really drink anymore so we had cokes and ice tea. The overall experience was very pleasant ☺️ We came around lunch, we were in and out.

Crescent Counter

Coffee shop

👍👍 Great biscuits, cold pressed juices, and coffee! My husband is still raving about a maple pancake biscuit creation with a surprise piece of bacon in the middle. Beautiful artwork on the walls. Friendly owners right behind the counter! Easy to recommend this New #smallbusiness.

Little People's Place

Bar

👍👍 This is where “colored” acts would play when clubs were segregated. Small and simple, but a lot of history here. Friendly people in charge, and they make tasty fried catfish in the afternoon outside.
