The Basin Lakeview

This a cool watering hole with a neighborhood bar vibe. They have a great patio that looks rather upscale it is so nice. The bartenders here seem to be very efficient and give good service. Overall this is always a solid choice for a neighborhood bar experience.

Quaint bar in the West Lakeview area. Wednesday night is steak night. An 8 oz filet with mash potatoes and creamed spinach for $18. What a deal. The steak was wonderful. Very tasty and cooked to perfection. The mashed garlic potatoes and creamed spinach finished the plate. Oh and I ordered my steak medium rare and it was perfect. Now on the negative side the meal was served on a paper plate with plastic fork, knife, and spoon. There were no spices except salt and pepper in small bags. But again this is a bar that serves food so it did make sense.

What an awesome little gem in Lakeview! Happy hour 4-7 Monday-Friday, red beans on Monday, steak night (AMAZING) on Wednesdays, & Boiled shrimp (crawfish when in season) on Fridays! Friendly staff & cold beer what else do you need?

First of all it is the only real bar located in West Lakeview. It has an awesome patio and reasonable prices. Nice wine selection. Plenty of reds. Stays open real late and is the after party go to joint. Plenty late night types such as bartenders and waitstaff from nearby restaurants. Fun place when you want to stay out late in a safe neighborhood. Opens at noon on weekends during football season and has a free buffet every Saints game. Free red beans and rice with French bread every Monday. Pool league plays on Mondays.

Favorite Dive. Great place to watch the saints play. They have an assortment of bar games and a great pool table. Not to mention the back patio makes you feel like you are on vacation. I hesitate posting because it's a hidden gem that I would almost like to keep to myself.

I went on Steak night!!!! Great food and price. Service was great. Dog friendly patio

Gonna admit, I was only here for drinks. However, the bartender was so patient and attentive and even mentioned some deals when we said we were local. Great spot!

Fun little after work hangout spot. The inside definitely has dive energy (which I'm fond of) but is very clean. The bartenders are attentive and efficient. Very friendly. They have food specials most nights of the week and we've tried most of them. Wednesday steak night is our current favorite. They have also started doing daily lunch specials. Not for the real of the show. They have a patio outback that is an absolute oasis. Plenty of seating and shade for those hot Louisiana afternoons.

Cool duck off spot to take a date. Bartenders are great and the regulars aren't bad like other places!

it's a great enivorment the food is great it's just an overall great place to be. i love it.
