  Great Uptown neighborhood bar. After not stepping foot in the place for months, I showed up tonight with some friends and the very friendly bartendress recognized us immediately and wanted to know where the hell we had been! The tourists don't know about this place, and this ain't somewhere to go to see or be seen, and if you're real worried about looking cool you probably need to go somewhere else. Really great service with a smile every time, lots of Cubs stuff on the walls, and they are serious about darts here (I've never been around during a full-on darts game, but they sell all the stuff you could ever possibly need or want for a darts game at this bar).
  
  Just a great little neighborhood joint; unpretentious, real, friendly, relaxed.

  You know you hear about everyone else's "Cheers" bar and how they are always welcome but for me it's the honest to God truth. I used to live right around the street from this bar and would always come here. Yeah it's a dive bar (big whoop, want to fight about it?) but it's my dive bar! It's my local spot and I have made friends here that always welcome me when I come through the door. Through the Milan golf scramble, Saints games on Sunday, and hopefully wining last man standing on st pattys day, I always enjoy coming here. There are a LOT of bars here but the Milan is my bar. No matter where I end up in this great city, The Milan Lounge will always be my second home. Salute!

  It's a dive bar. The staff are incredibly friendly and chatty. We walked in at midnight on a week night and the bartender was actually excited to see us and glad to have more company. He mentioned that he stays open until 2 am every weeknight even if nobody is in there. If regulars are in, he is happy to stay open as long as they like. The bartender also gave us some bar mix and peanuts to munch on.

  This place is the epitome of a new Orleans dive bar.  And I mean that in the best way.   It's also a Chicago Cubs bar, which has gotten them national recognition since the cubbies made history this fall.   Kevin is a awesome owner, which makes this bar a home away from home for all the locals around the area.

  I just moved here from Chicago, and I was super stoked to check out a Cubs bar because I am a rather large Cubs fan. It's a small, divey, neighborhood spot. It's nothing super duper special, except there are some key points why this place is great.
  Their spirits and beer selection are impressive. Walking into a divey spot, I always assume I'm going to have to settle for a beverage. But I was pleasantly surprised. Well done, guys.
  The bartenders that I've met are very friendly and welcoming, too. Plus they're faster than the average New Orleans bartender pace, which is ALSO great.
  No food, but they have a menu folder that you can order food for delivery from. I think sometimes they have food on a table near the door, but I don't think I've been there when that happened..
  I have a feeling I'll be a regular at this bar, ESPECIALLY during Cubs season. Check this place out.
