Barcar

Third time is the charm! First owners tried hard to make this place a bougie style foodie type place. It was ok, but didn't really take off. Second owners attempted to do the same, but I'm not sure exactly what the issues were. Maybe management, maybe patrons didn't like the type of small bites they offered. Third owners have knocked it out the park. I've eaten there 3 times since the re-brand "Barcar". This place is a fancy top notch bar/ cocktail lounge where you can order excellent food and cocktails. Upstairs is a bit more of a casual setting where you can hang out with your friends and watch sporting events on their huge screen tv. You can also order the same food and drinks as downstairs, but in a more relaxed outdoor setting. This place should last a long time as long as they continue doing what they do. If I had to give a negative, it would be that I believe the waiter staff could use a few more servers. (This is a problem everywhere at the moment) The wait staff they have are friendly, efficient, and attentive. They are non stop, but a tad overwhelmed which can make service slow service. I had the chicken sandwich which was possibly the best chicken sandwich I've ever eaten. I've been twice for steak night, in which they serve a much better cut of meat than any other bar in the area at the same price. This place is becoming one of my favorite for a quick dinner in the area!

We went here on Saturday, 10/12. It was one of the first beautiful, autumn nights, and we were happy to get a table on the upstairs balcony/patio.Funny note, on the wall directly in front of me, were two TVs, each showing the LSU/Ole Miss game. Except on of them was easily 20 seconds behind the other, so it was a little confusing at first to see everything twice. They probably should have just put another game on the delayed TV. I originally wrote this review a few days ago, but realized it had turned into a long rant that sounded like a personal attack on our server, so I deleted it. But I will say that our server that night should not be a customer-facing person in hospitality. She wasn't just bad at her job, but she really seemed to dislike it. I won't say she was rude, but she definitely gave a vibe of...well...she doesn't like serving people. And she really was not good at it. Now, the food was mostly pretty good. My GF had the tuna rice crisps, and really like them. I got their dry-aged burger, and the burger was pretty good. The waffle fries that came with it were terrible. They looked great - golden brown and crispy looking, but they were bland, tough, and chewy. In all honesty, I wasn't sure I should eat the fries anyway, and, well, that wasn't a problem. They were terrible. So, overall, if we had gotten an engaged and friendly server, this review could be a 4. Yes, the fries were terrible, but the rest of the food was good and it was a nice, comfortable evening.But, IF we go back and if we see the same server, we'll leave. I'm leaving out the laundry list of reasons why I'm saying that - she was just a bad waitress, and she didn't want to be there. Which made us not want to deal with her. In fact, based on the service from this one person, I really feel like 3 stars is too many.Oh, by the way, the gentleman that brought us our drinks, and the lady who brought us our food, were very friendly and responsive. It was just the main waitress in the upstairs area on that Saturday night.

Wow it's loud for no reason. Music is nice but people feel they have to scream. Bad: The tuna sticky rice is just plain bad. The ponzu doesn't soak up and the sticky rice is too much and flavorless. They need to rework that whole thing. The oysters were not what was on menu but were fantastic. Fried with ranch amongst other things. Delicious and fried perfectly. The lobster roll was one of the better ones I've had for a while but could have used some melted butter on the side.

went twice in the past week actually because was so happy with our first visit. Atmosphere is great, it's a really fun bar vibe but still with sit down tables and full service from the waiters. Drinks are so good. All the food was delicious but my absolute favorite was the crispy rice and tuna. Came back again on Wednesday for steak night which was delicious and such a good deal. Overall, love this place and so happy it's here!

Drinks, superb, food excellent! Atmosphere, a little noisy. Overall a good experience. My only complaints are that it's loud, but they can't really help that and they brought the salad with the entrée. It was steak night and for $20 you really can't beat it!

Went for lunch on Thursday. We both started with the margaritas. It was pretty good. For food I got the turkey sandwich and my friend got the club both with fries. I was very happy with my choice. Definitely recommend and will need to go again at dinner.

Did we just find our new favorite place in Metairie? YUP! And it's a walk from our house. The food was incredible and the cocktails were expertly made. The time saver was refreshing and perfect to drink on the rooftop. The spicy tuna crispy rice is something I'll crave. The shrimp tacos were amazing. The burger with pawpaws brioche bun may be my favorite burger I've had at a restaurant in a long time. The rooftop was modern with a large TV to watch the game. Seating was seat yourself on the rooftop. Music was a bit loud but nothing we couldn't talk over. We will be back many times!

Cute place, great staff lobster roll wasn't great- lobster dry and chewy felt overcookedappetizers were spot on I would go back but would not recommend the lobster roll

Cannot comment on the food because we never received and sat with empty glasses for around 15min until my friend waved down a server.Our server was lovely and very apologetic about our food fiasco.We live in the neighbourhood and left for a bar close by and got our food in under 15mins

For our anniversary, my fiancé and I decided to try this new spot that I saw on instagram and boy were we blown out of the water! Al (Albert) & Joanna (I'm if that's now how you spell it) were amazing servers who both took care of us the whole time. The food was delicious, very flavorful, and it came out pretty quick too for how busy the bar was. (Wednesday night steak night is a must for sure!) We also ordered raw oysters but those were so good I forgot to grab a picture :) .For only being open 5 months, everything runs pretty smoothly, the ambiance is refreshing, and this spot is definitely added to our "go-to" list!
