22nd Street Bar

I stopped in here to get a to-go drink. This place seems to be a great spot for game day. There is outside seating under a sturdy, open structure (think carport) with TVs outside. The inside has side entrances that open to the outside area. Three major gripes...The place is wheelchair accessible as far as getting on the "porch." There is a ramp for it. But when asked whether there was a ramp to actually get inside to order a drink, we were told there is none. Disappointingly enough, none of the employees came near the entrance to make ordering easier. We had masks on, they did not, so it did not make sense why none of them came closer. The bar had no other patrons. Next, I am admittedly more apprehensive about sanitation, or a lack thereof, now. I was a bit taken aback that the whole process of making drinks and taking our order was done without gloves. I would not have cared had the bartender simply made drinks but squeezing the lemon and dropping it in the drink with her bare hands rattled my spirit. I don't know--maybe I'm being too anal. I just think proper hand washing or sanitation is more important than ever during COVID. Third, my friend was sure his Crown Apple was mixed with something else. We drink it enough to know. LOL. On this point, I will not say with 100% certainty it was diluted or mixed, but he was certain it was. Overall, I do not think this bar is terrible. It's a typical Metairie bar that sits in the middle of the suburbs. I also do not think it's unwise to stop in for a drink or to hang out. These are just my complaints.

This is a perfect example of a Metry dive bar.A friend invited me to this bar one night for a drink. Little did I know I was in for some serious culture shock. As my GPS directed me to this residential area, I was concerned that I may be in the wrong place. I saw the sign and knew I wasn't, so I headed for the door, or what I thought was the door. I am used to businesses having an entrance in the front center. This entrance was on the side, as if I were entering a house.My drinking buddy was already at the bar, so I pulled up a stool and ordered an Abita. The beer was cold and only $3.25. The bartender was very friendly. i attributed this to the fact that she told me she had been drinking since two. Normally I frown upon drinking and working, but it worked for her.This bar has karaoke, but didn't have any Lil Wayne, B.G. or Juvenile. Because the Nola rap selection was lacking, i was unable to impress the crowd with my amazing rap skills. They did have P-Control by Prince, but even after listening to his version, I wasn't drunk enough to attempt it. Oh well, there is always next time.This bar had some awesome things going for it. Here are some examples:Behind the bar was a woman with a flat iron straightening her hair. An older gentleman with an amazing mullet.The bartender making it rain with napkins, then bending at the waist to pick them up all while shaking her moneymaker.A very cool conversation with a singer about the origins of the Edmund Fitzgerald melody.I want to rate this bar higher because of the awesome things going on, but I just cant. While I enjoyed it, this isn't the area I would normally go out.

I have it 4 stars because the food, chef and bartender are 5 stars, but the environment is 3 star. There are a lot of males that frequent this establishment and I always get stared at when I walk in and it's uncomfortable. You have to navigate inside, and order the food at the bar (which is hard to get close to since all the guys are usually sitting along it). Its also dark and loud, and since it's Metairie and not New Orleans, smoking is allowed inside and sometimes it can be a bit smoky. It doesn't bother me, but I want you to be comfortably with what you go to.They don't serve any other food you can order, but on Thursday they have a steak night where Chef Rob comes out and grills these AMAZING 20 oz ribeyes, huge filets, and double cut pork chop, and some fish. They also do crawfish on fridays in season and it's actually one of the best boils I've been to. The ribeye is 13.25 and comes with DELICIOUS chunky garlic smashed potatoes and corn (honestly I would pay 13.25 for a plate of just the potatoes they're just that good). It takes a while to get your food since he cooks it to order and there's always people waitibg, BUT IT IS WORTH IT. So grab a beer, sit back and talk with friends. The drink prices are great, they have video poker and a pool table, and the bartender Daphne is wonderful.My only other complaint is that the woman's restroom is this TINY single that faces into the bar and there is a table directly next to the door which makes me uncomfortable if people are there because it's awkward to stand there and wait for it to be free. Plus the door latch is loose and there's not much room to move inside... But even with all of my little complaints, steak night is still AMAZING.

I came here on a Thursday night with my friends because I heard good things about their Thursday Steak Nights. I was not sure what to expect of this place at first. We got to the place and there were tables outside with people hanging out. We went inside of this bar wondering if you grab menus or talk to one of the bartenders. We finally asked the bartender about the steak night special. She told us that we need to order the steak night special through her, but you need to get a minimum of 2 drinks per steak special. It's a really good steak deal and the drink minimum was okay for us since we were hanging out anyways. Nothing's wrong with cracking open some cold ones while eating some delicious steak. Our bartender gave us a round of beers and a few caps for us to trade with her for our next round of beers. We sat at a table outside and hung out watching a random football game displaying on a TV for customers sitting outside. The steaks came out and they're huge! My friends and I were all starving, but we had to take some pictures of the plate! A couple of my friends' steaks were a bit under-cooked, but we just asked them to cook it for a little while longer. Overall, this place is tiny and their Thursday Steak Nights are awesome! If your steaks end up being a little under-cooked, then ask them to throw it on the grill for a little while longer. They don't bite!

The only reason I ever go here is for the Thursday and Sunday steak nights. You HAVE to get here early as they sell out of steaks FAST!!! They also have a pretty decent menu of other things (like tuna steak). The steaks have always been tasty, fairly priced, and you receive your order pretty quickly. The bartenders have always been nice and efficient. The location is completely strange off in the middle of a combination of residential and weird office spaces not far from Lakeside Mall...only in Metairie could you find a spot like this.

If you're looking for something cheap and really good on a Thursday night then this is the place to be! Their steaks are super cheap and they come with sides! I've only been here once and I was pretty impressed with this coming from a place that is a bar. The chef is super friendly and his food is delicious! The steak is the size of hand, no joke! It's more than enough food. I do have a couple of minor complaints though...I asked for medium rare, but it was medium. Not too big of an issue because the steak was well seasoned. I wish there was indoor seating where you wouldn't smell like smoke, or maybe cooler outside seating. Other than that, I would definitely be back!

Great service , amazing owners and bartenders . Re-modeled in the inside, an outside a new deck an backyard .. a block away from parade route on vets . Dog friendly also .. I would go check it out you guys an support local !!

Best bar in Metairie, very friendly and great service. It's a great LSU,Saints and 49ers bar.

Greeted by a friendly and competent bar maid. Great tasty marg and gin and tonic. Fellow patrons struck up conversation. Great welcome to the BIG EASY. Crawfish boil tonight! Boy did we hit it!

It's closed with no warning. Really bummed. We moved in very close and I was looking forward to a small neighborhood hood place and then poof.... gone.
