Came here the other night with DJ Heatwave on the ones and twos.
Side note: If your friend invites you to go dancing at HEATWAVE! (an all-vinyl dance party spinning Motown/Garage Rock/R&B/Soul/Oldies), do it. I was reluctant because I greatly enjoy a good booty shakin' dance party with some Missy Elliott and the latest dub-stepping jams (I think I'm a professional dub-stepper around 2:30am, just an fyi) but Ann Glaviano KILLED it and everyone was shaking their everythings.
As for the bar, do I love the neighborhood at night? Not really. I think there should be a door person or some form of security at the door. I'm sorry if there was after I arrived and I just didn't see it, but I think it's naive to think that there shouldn't be a door person, at night, in most parts of New Orleans.
With that being said, I had a really, really fun time! The bar is intimate and accommodating. I don't think I ever waited that long at all for a stiff drink or a cold beer that didn't break the bank. The dance floor is JUST the right size to get you dancing with everyone and feel comfortable disappearing into a mass of gyrating hips and twirling arms. Plenty of space to sit down when your dogs get tired,and a little alcove to hang out if you're into talking and not dancing...I'll never understand those types.
I'd definitely come back here for HEATWAVE to get groovy with my gals, 'cause when it finally gets cold, you'll want to get on that heat...wave.
