Beachbum Berry's Latitude 29

I have been here so many times and I consider it to be the best bar in New Orleans. I love my rum and this tiki bar has plenty of it. Super strong drinks at somewhat high prices but totes worth it. The titi theme is so great. The decor and the laminated tables with bamboo draped throughout is fun. Not to mention the drinkware! I love dinning out of fun themed glassware! Let's not forget about the food. You order the fries and it is a plethora - no small amount there. Yall, get the pork belly lo mein, omg! Those noodles! Don't forget about the newish happy hour M-F 3 to 6pm. And the Christmas cocktails complete with Christmas glassware are in season for another couple of weeks! With the exception of one time, I have always had fantastic service. We usually sit at the bar and chat with the bartender watching the artistry happen, but we came here the Wednesday before Thanksgiving when the transition to Christmas cocktails was happening and I think there was a switch to no more Happy Hour until after the holidays started the next day - or at least that is what we were told. We made the reservation a week or so in advance. It was the 4 of us. And we were in Christmas gear even though Thanksgiving was the next day. Our waiter was supposedly new as he mentioned that a couple of times. He was just very s-l-o-w with everything and not knowing the answers to any of the drink or food questions. He didn't even tell us until I asked if there as a Christmas cocktail menu, since I saw it on social media - which was a little cheaper ironically. It probably took about 45 minutes for us to get all our alcohol and non-alcohol dinks and order food. Now that is all fine, I mean, he said he was new. What really rubbed all of us the wrong way, was when some blond female - not sure if she was a waitress or manager or just the watcher as she was just standing in dining room watching everyone - she came up to us to inform us that another party reserved our particular table at 7:30pm. We were all like what?! what time is it?! It's 5:45pm why are we being emotionally 'kicked out' when we have a slow as molasses new waiter and we aren't even close to the next reservation time. This happened at another restaurant in Lafayette - we were there for maybe 30 minutes before the hostess scampered over to our table to make us feel very unwelcome by informing us we had to get out by a certain time. Like is this the new trend in restaurants now? Even if you plan to rack up a $300 or $400 bill, you will be strong armed into leaving? I get that this establishment is on the smaller side but we are paying a pretty penny to enjoy our night. Anyway, that was just one time in the several times we have been customers here so I won't let the ignorant decisions of some blond girl ruin my experience. I plan to be back and fill up on all the rum again. It's 5 stars. Oh, and my favorite Christmas drink was a snowball chance and my favorite overall drink is the deep six. Get it!!

I am a bit torn writing this review... this place has a really cool atmosphere, and some good original tiki style cocktails. Unfortunately I have only been able actually visit this place twice. Reason being is because they apparently have a strict policy of not seating people within an hour of closing ?! In other words do not expect to ever have a night cap here, ever! I understand that they are only open from 2pm - 10pm most weeknights and 11pm on Fridays. However this past Friday was the third time my other half and I have been turned away, two of which we had friends with us trying to turn them on to this place! (Embarrassing) I do understand your business hours, however turning people away "an hour" early from your "actual" closing time from just having a drink at the bar is not a good look in any way shape or form. Especially in a spot like New Orleans for god sake! There are way too many options in this town!

Make a reservation. Period. Was only me and it was like a "hassle" to them to get a to go beverage.Ambience is exactly what you would expect for a "tiki bar". This time around I did not eat so I cannot comment on that. I have in the last but that was years ago. Enjoy your fun cups with your drink... mine was to geaux!

I'm not big on tiki bars but this spot was recommend by a colleague that is big in tiki bars. You really can't go wrong with this spot. I had two different drinks and both were good! Service was great too!

I visited recently for drinks and had a great time. I arrived on a Monday near opening time (3 PM) and got seats at the bar. The place quickly filled up, keeping the bartenders busy the whole time.This is tiki bar with lots of drinks and food that looks amazing (though I didn't try it). They have a vibrant, illustrated menu, delicious drinks, and fun tiki glasses. Service was good. Drinks were tasty. We had the Nui Nui, Suffering Bastard, Crystal Ship, and Nang Mai Nights (seasonal). They have happy hour (according to their Instagram), but it's not mentioned on their website and I had to ask staff about it to get a menu. We didn't end up ordering from it. It had a few food and drink options.The menu menu information is a little haphazard. Some drinks mention all the ingredients and show a picture of the glass; others barely tell you anything. And I would find a description of the flavors more helpful than a list of ingredients, but most bars and restaurants have this problem.

We had a great time here. We were able to walk in and get a table for three with no issue. The only problem was is that they didn't tell us that there was only a 2-hour limit for the table and we were still ordering food and we were going to have other members of our group meet us there . Which is totally fine that we changed plans but if we would have known we would have planned a little bit better. And they could have told us right at the start. The drinks were phenomenal. The the specials were really good. And the atmosphere was amazing. It was just a really fun place to be in to get a little snack and a drink.

Cah-uute! Went for the seasonal Christmas pop-up. Was pleasantly surprised by the wide array of food options (a bit heavy/salty for my taste but many more options than expected for a bar). And WOW. Never seen so many drink options on one menu. Something for everyone!

Cool, easy tiki vibe with pleasant staff and delicious drinks. On Thursday evening, they were busy but I was able to sit at the bar with no wait. The bartenders recommendations were spot on.

Went this past weekend, a group of 8 for drinks and appetizers. Service was smooth and entertaining, Korean chicken was great.

This is a legit tiki bar, steeped in all things tiki! The owner has written a book about tiki cocktails and has an awesome collection of tiki artifacts proudly displayed throughout the space. The tiki drinks we tried were all amazing and arrive with unique and collectible stirrers.The food was outstanding as well! We had the firecracker shrimp rolls, coated in pop rocks for the fun factor! The tasty lumpia was one of my favorites, with shrimp, pork, and a delicious citrus soy sauce. The crispy brussels sprouts with whipped feta and pickle shallots are to die for...and probably my favorite crispy brussels I've ever had. The sweet potato gnocchi with charred carrots and pepitas was also good, but honestly I was a but full by the time I got to them.The vibe of the place is chill and the bar area looks like a great place to hang out and spend some time. Our server was helpful with recommendations regarding the drinks based on what types of things we told her we liked (sweet vs. sour, lighter vs. boozy, etc.)
