The Green Room

Stopped by this little downtown Covington bar for some Bloody Marys on Mardi Gras morning and they were good. Certainly not a fancy place, but courteous bartenders and good service.

Won't let me respond to the review, so here is an update. UPDATE : 05/13/24Why would I make something like that up? My friends and I enjoyed the place before that. The bartenders and management brushed it off multiple times, so obviously the safety of your women wasn't at the forefront of your minds. It took 5 months for my complaint to even be responded to, and even then all I got was being accused of lying in the most childish way. So thanks for banning me, but my friends and family weren't going to be stepping foot in your establishment anyway. This response was all the closure I needed to see that "The Green Room" in fact, does not care.Update : 05/13/24 8:23 PMFalse, way to delete your other response too. I was the DD that night, I had just beat covid and wasn't "drunk" by any means. The girl that "fell" out of her chair couldn't speak even form a coherent sentence. I have multiple other eye witnesses. Take responsibility for your actions, or lack there of. How about we just see if we can pull the footage from said night? We can let the police decide who may or may not be in the wrong? You're on this yelp page arguing with a bunch of people who had genuine problems, but the common denominator is you. You and this place are a joke acting like the victim. Don't bother responding, I see all you're responses and have come to the conclusion that you're just ignorant, and more than all, childish.

Times are a'changing at The Green Room. Dropped in today for the first time in a couple Months, the place is being COMPLETELY remodeled. It no longer has the aura of stale beer and desperation. The staff and new GM (yep a GM) seem really nice.I think it will be good, only gave it 4 stars because it too soon to be certain. They are promising bar grub, etc.

This place has gotten so much better within the past few years. There is know longer smoking inside the building.

I edited this review after I was informed that smoking is no longer allowed inside this bar. While I previously gave it only three starts, my partially negative opinion was based on the fact that I did not think the place was well-ventilated at all, and I was choking on all the cigarette smoke. Although I haven't been there since this change was implemented, with the smoking issue taken care of, it seems like a decent place enjoyed by a very diverse crowd. It's not upscale by any means, so if you are above going to a dive bar to enjoy a drink, you might not like it here. There is live music and like I said, a very diverse crowd ranging from 18- to 20-somethings to people well into their forties and fifties, even older. Everybody seems to get along, which is cool.I also love their support for the anti-fracking movement in St. Tammany and the fact that when I came here they had signs and flyers out with the latest information/petitions available. We seem to be on the same page when it comes to things that I think actually matter, like the poisoning of our environment and drinking water with millions of gallons of fracking waste-water containing hundreds of toxic and carcinogenic chemicals for the private profit of an oil corporation (and zero benefit to the ones that will suffer the health consequences and, in many cases, pay for said oil company's profits with their lives). I know this is Yelp and not a political platform, but I'm not deleting this part because it's relevant to my opinion of the venue.

big fan of the Green Room. Wednesday nights open nights, cheapest beer on the northshore...bartenders who really seem to know how to service those at the bar.Working bathroom, a pool table and plenty of beer and alcohol selections available.

I really, really like the atmosphere of the bar as far as lighting and decor go. However, I've found that the bouncers and bar tenders are EXTREMELY rude to anyone under 21. I like to go for open mic night and karaoke, but because I'm 18 I'm being constantly carded even after having x's marked on my hands. On weekends it can get packed because of local shows, which can definitely be a lot of fun with friends. I've experienced some hostility from a lot of people when going there, but I'm pretty sure this is because I'm younger. I highly recommend it for the older crowd, I think the grungy feel is kick ass and I feel like the staff would be a lot nicer if you're older. Open mic and karaoke is awesome to watch!!

For my first of many live music reviews I have to say starting my adventures off at The Green Room was a great idea. Some reviews talk about what a drag the live music is in this bar but I couldn't disagree more. Tonight the band Big Daddy O's performed and it was a wonderful mix between blues throwbacks and bluegrass music in its purest form, something that can only be found in Southern Louisiana. Not to mention later in the night they played a Radiohead song. I wish I could review the bar itself and the drinks but I can't. I'm only 18 so I wasn't around the bartenders or the drink selection but to speak of the atmosphere there was a healthy mixture of pretty women and men and the young to old ratio was perfectly even. There's one pool table and the green aesthetic can't be missed. It was a great night with great music and if Keenan Knight is ever playing you're in for a night of great music.

Every once in a while my partner and I will go out to the Northshore for a date night, so I've been here a few times. There's live music here, but we've actually had nights where we started here, went to a little coffee shop a few blocks a way, and had a better music experience. Drink prices are reasonable. It's been quiet a few of the nights we've been here, which can be a plus or a minus depending. The bartenders were nice, and we got good service. The clientele aren't really my scene, and there was a night we had to walk through our fight on our way out of the front. (That was before I knew there was a back entrance.) I've never experienced a terrible problem with smoke here, and I'm pretty sensitive to cigarette smoke. (YMMV)

Ok so firstly, this event occurred well over a year ago and I never reported it directly to the Green Room, so at what point did you look into the situation? Tez (whom I know as well) was not the person with the snake that I'm referencing. So this means that snakes being in your establishment must be a normal thing. Bc someone other than Tez (which you are aware had a snake) and this other guy. The snake was not itty bitty. After I reacted to the snake being on my table, the guy picked it up and put in around his neck. And the snake hung from his shoulders. If that sounds itty bity to you, then I guess I am wondering what other sizes of snakes you would allow into your establishment. Instead of going through the comments trying to prove ppl wrong and act like you are completely aware and was involved in the situations that occurred, how about a simple apology and statement saying that you do not condone or approve of the treatment. That's how decent businesses respond to complaints, even the stupid unnecessary complaints. It shows a sense of professionalism, empathy and neutrality..,,which you do not seem to possess and obviously serves as huge reflection on the type of establishment you are running. When that place becomes known for violence due to the stupidity that's allowed there, don't be shocked. You all are a breeding ground for simpleton activity. A snake should not be in a bar. Slurs should not be allowed to be used on a stage. It should be discouraged and made known by your establishment. But instead of trying to learn and grow from the complaints that you received, you do nothing but attempt to reduce and justify. Hire someone to do your talking for you, bc you suck at it.
