Where to begin….
Well the beginning would be good to start. Walking in it seems like a decent place to eat and cool off for a bit it. Well, turns out we were wrong. Our first greeting from the bartender who came to take our order didn’t know the specials, drinks, or what beer were on tap. The menu is scattered and we got two different menus with only a few things off from one another. There were a total of 5 people in our party.
Drinks
Two of us ordered their Frozen Cherry Limeade (which came pure alcohol. Some may think that is a plus, but I in particular wasn’t looking to drink straight alcohol). One of us ordered Stella on tap which turned out to be nice and cold, but also flat. With additional drinks we ordered Cokes which started out great, but eventually turned flat as the refills kept coming.
Food
In the group we ordered
– The Club w/o mayo
– Buffalo Wings (with side order of mac and cheese)
– Chicken Tenders
– Tacos (Taco Tuesday)(Comes with three tacos)
– American Cheeseburger
The food took a good bit of time to come out. All food items were brought out one by one slowly to the point each person was finishing their meal before another came out. First out for one meal were the wings which were actually pretty good, but a few did appear to be under cooked (which explained the weird taste for two or three of them) and no mac and cheese. By the time one finished his wing meal the tacos came out. The meat was dry (the little there was) with little to no flavor and full of mostly veggies. Next up came the Club sandwich (with mayo on it, even though we were told mayo doesn’t come on it). Afterwords came the burger and chicken tenders together surprisingly enough. The tenders were good with nice breading. Coming to my burger the top bun was extra chard and missing the american cheese I asked for, but given we waited this long I wasn’t going to mess around and send anything back in fear we could be sitting here even longer. Over time after all the food did arrive the mac and cheese was brought up to which our bartender/waitress didn’t even place that order. After placing the order the mac and cheese was the fastest food item to exit from the kitchen. Once tasting it we found out why. It felt as if it were microwaved kraft with a few extra food bits thrown in to add flare.
Overall Experience
The overall experience for this place was not great what so ever. Our bartender/waitress lost our credit card when she claimed she just wanted it to add to “the file” for our ordering of food and drinks. Brought us someone else’s visa card to ask us if it was ours and instead of asked for a name to continue her search she returned to keep looking. After assistance for someone else they finally found our card behind the bar somewhere. Our waitress/bartender appeared to be fixing drinks for herself after other people cleared out along with multiple smoke breaks and one shirt change (which seemed a little TMI that you’re telling guest that you will be back to check on us after you change your shirt.) Before leaving we saw someone who appeared to be the manager or owner who we asked to speak to, but was told he was already gone. Our bartender/waitress stated that she was cleared to give up 25% off our tab to which we stated we were just trying to speak to the owner to voice our experience to which our bartender/waitress stated that she couldn’t give more off the tab than that 25%. We explained it wasn’t about taking anything off just wanted to voice concerns was all.
So yes, in short not a good place to attend if you’re looking for service.

We love this bar. Great place to watch a game. We were there to see the Vikings play the Saints. Jimmy is great and so is the rest of the staff. I just can’t remember their names. There are great TVs above the bar and plenty of seats. We had egg sandwiches and they were tasty. It was great because they opened at 8 for the game. We will be back next time we are in Nola.

Awesome set up for watching sports while doing some day-drinking in the French quarter. The balcony has TVs they allow you to chill and watch tv while also people-watching. Some bar games. Decent beer options. Food too. And slots. Though I didn’t see anyone playing.

My husband and I had a great afternoon watching the Vikings game at the American Sports Saloon Sunday!! We’ve never been in a facility to watch sports with more TV screens than they have! Room for everyone!! Even on balconies with a private screen for your game! Service was pleasant and accommodating even though they were swamped due to the Saints game at the same time! If you are in New Orleans for a sporting event it’s a must!!

The food was better than expected. Not a giant menu. Not a ton of selections of IPAs. However sitting outside on a Monday night game was awesome. We each had our own TV.

We stopped into the downstairs bar yesterday after walking by and seeing they had the championship match on. Lisa was so wonderful. After she realized that our teenager had special needs, she brought her personal tablet to her for cartoons. We can’t stop talking about how kind & accommodating she was. It’s extremely hard for us to find a place like this. Lisa, thank you so much!!!!

More of a dive bar feel, but they have great frozen drinks. Some in our party found them to be a tad too sweet. The bartender was extremely friendly, especially considering I spilled my drink all over myself. They have TVs with the sports game going. I didn’t try their food at all. For the service and drinks we had, would definitely recommend this bar.

Have to give these guys 5 stars for the service alone. We were on the hunt around the entire city to find somewhere that could play an English Premier League football/soccer game. Nowhere else had the game we wanted to watch on but this bar said they could find any game and put it on. They did this for us and even had the sound on. The waitress/bar lady was very friendly and helpful. A good selection of beer too. Thank you!

Great sports bar. TVs everywhere. Lots of beers and choices. Pro tip: upstairs patio has many TVs where you can put on whatever game your heart desires. Pittsburgh bar, but feels like home for all! Restrooms downstairs and upstairs. Bar keep very nice and will let you try any beers. Highly recommended!

We had the best seats in the house for the Chargers game. Upstairs balcony overlooking New Orleans. Large screen TVs and couches to sit on. The food was great. Must have the wings. The best service as well.
