Okay, I would like to start off by saying the daiquiris here are pretty awesome. However, the hideously rude treatment that I have received at this place by the main female bartender warrants one star. I'm a student who is originally from NYC and I have an out of state NY ID card. I am 25 years old. I was literally screamed at and told to get out of the bar despite being far above 21 because they apparently do not accept out of state IDs. You don't want to serve me, fine. But I was literally not even allowed on the premises. Getting kicked out in such a rude manner after presenting legally valid identification is not only embarrassing but pretty absurd. This is a major tourist town, I find it hard to believe you don't accept any from of out of state identification, nor is it appropriate to scream at someone to get out of a bar after presenting valid id issued by a state government.
My boyfriend was also interrogated about his Louisiana ID, despite being older than 21 and a resident here for his whole life. So not only is the waitstaff rude about out of staters, they interrogate in state residents as well.
Your daiquiris are good, but no one wants to be screamed at and harassed about their identification when they are of age and have been legally using their IDs without issue in various other bars and restaurants in the city. It's embarrassing and degrading treatment. Learn what identification looks like and stop kicking out legitimate customers. With so many other daiquiri shops to go to in New Orleans, I don't think it's a wise move to treat your customers like they're liars. And based on other reviews, this seems to be a trend. Word to all out of staters, don't even bother going, the harassment isn't even worth your time.
