Banks Street Bar

Great dive venue with some interesting characters frequenting it. They sometimes have some good music and always cheap drinks. I've rarely been here when it has been crowded but it used to ALWAYS be full of cigarette smoke (which I'm not a smoker and find smoke disgusting but almost everybody in this joint seemed to be a chain smoker) so this place VASTLY improved when they stopped indoor smoking in NOLA. It seems they don't have as much live music as they used to so it isn't on my regular rotation but I still end up here a few times a year.

Solid dive bar in mid city. Grungy. Next to a solid burger shop too. Must check this area out!

Was listening to band at jam session when for no apparent reason someone came up and turned off the mike's. The people performing were good so not sure why thus was done. Will not return.

I saw wn awesome ska show here on 7/22/2022. Great venue. Be sure to eat next door at bub's burgers!

It was loud yet intimate, definitely a fun dive. Cheap drinks. (I was very surprised at my tab.) Only on the street parking. But it's in a neighborhood.
