Down The Hatch

A great place to watch a game, off the bustle of bourbon and the French quarter. My beautiful and smart wife is a Kentucky basketball fan. We went to watch them play on a Saturday morning, a bit too early for my personal liking due to the central time zone. Upon arrival there were other members of BBN watching. The drinks were very good and affordably priced. Service was with a smile and quick. The place was clean and has a nice back patio.

This spot is a cool vibe.Not as spacious but there is a balcony where you can enjoy the weather if permitted. Very good prices for a well drink and house drink.

Upon taking my seat at the bar, there was no acknowledgment, no greeting, no menu brought, no "What are you having to drink?" Nothing, I just sat for maybe 10 minutes without being acknowledged at all. I asked a worker for a menu and she gave it to me. After glancing over and finding something I wanted, I waited for the worker to come back. She went behind the bar and never came back to my end. I asked another worker if it was ok for me to order with him. He said yes, I ordered and he asked if I wanted anything to drink. I said sure I'll order it separately from the food, and I'll take some water to sip on while I decide. He went on to say something along the lines of "well you can order your drink right here, it's a bar. Bars where drinks are ordered. -_-" I intended on paying cash but he asked for a card. Ok, maybe they are used to keeping tabs open from past experiences. He took my card and never returned it. I decided I no longer wanted the drink and just sipped the water. When it was time to pay I pulled my cash out and the bartender tells me that my $15 burger is $20 and some change total. I asked how is that possible and is there automatic gratuity? He looked confused (playing it off I'm sure) and I told him even with taxes that amount would be incorrect. He went on to talk to someone behind the bar, then came back and gave me the actual amount of $16 and some change. He said he gave me his employee discount, which was obviously not true because with taxes, that is the amount the meal would have come to. I still tipped him a lousy $2 for effort. I truly feel I was judged when I sat at that bar, despite carrying an almost $200 purse. Or was it my race?? Who knows, smh....Also, a tip to anyone ordering the Big Easy. It has hot sausage mixed in so make sure to order it well done. I ordered medium well and had to put it in the air fryer at home. You can consume hot sausage not fully cooked, but I definitely do not advise you to do so. It was pretty good and the sweet potato fries were pretty good also. But, not worth returning.In all, I DO NOT recommend this spot to anyone, unless you know someone working here or someone that is a regular.

Omggg the black and gold wings!!! Don't get me started. Everything is great on the menu; I haven't had an item I wasn't pleased with yet. Definitely great when you can just a quick bite to eat. Drinks are reasonably priced also! It's my go to spot after a night out.

Great service and cocktails. Ambiance was nice. Bartender handled all patrons with professionalism. We came for one drink and stayed for five (or more I can't remember). So it must have been good? I think so.

Great open bar and eatery on Front Street. This was our first stop after getting into town and it did not disapoint. The list of craft cocktails (Mai Tai's!) is beyond incredible. Got the fish fry where the menus says "local catch". It was mahi-mahi the night we were there and incredible. Live music plays even in the mornings.This is one of those must stops when in Lahaina.

Great food! Order the black & gold wings & the potato skins. Server was great taking care of the bar all alone. Back patio for overflow seating.

If you want the "going out" feeling but not with the "going out" crowds and noise, this is a good spot. Just enough buzz from the other customers, TVs and the alcohol to be mellow, plus a sweet little courtyard in the back. Food is good sturdy bar food. Sometimes you get lucky can watch a wedding reception in the venue across the street. (If you're really lucky, the person you go with will do the driving so street parking won't be an issue.)

Unwelcoming homophobic sexist bartender He was also high as fuc* on something - and more worried about eating than taking care of customers Not that he could with whatever he was onMessing up drinks and orders-Rude People were in shock and left due to his actionsMy wife felt so uncomfortable that we paid and left as wellThe men next to us- a couple- were so appalled at what has being said and how he was acting they paid and left asking 'what the hell is going on' The nasty comments about customers and foul language added to his aloof being Should not be allowed to bartend or work with the publicWe ordered food that came out-Won't go backSadly

Cute little hole in the wall, prices are incredibly reasonable. Bartender was very nice. Relaxed vibe, food was good. Nothing fancy, but we had no complaints.
