d.b.a Review

At this southern outpost of a popular pair of bars in Brooklyn and Manhattan's East Village, the selection of drinks—including international and craft beers on tap, bourbon and aged Scotches, and obscure tequilas, all listed on chalkboards above the bar—is reason enough to visit. Live music most nights and the Marigny's best people-watching in a narrow cypress-lined room make it a neighborhood favorite.

    d.b.a Review

    Even though I live in Manhattan, I'd never been to the NYC location of d.b.a. But I'm glad that my first experience was in New Orleans.

    We went to see Alvin Youngblood Hart. The music and atmosphere were awesome. The locals were having a good night, and Alvin kept the energy high. Even though a lot of people were in the bar, it was spacious enough so that it didn't feel too crowded.

    If you want to experience a real live show in New Orleans, look no further than d.b.a.

    I will be back on future trips to NOLA!
