The Mona Lisa Lounge

A hidden gem in Westwego. It’s location is either strange or so obvious I’m jealous. It’s right behind the famous shrimp lot. A quaint simple looking house on the outside with a dash of dive.
In the inside shares a feature that most dives have. Drop ceilings. ;). Right on. Though these guys have the fancier 7′ version.
In a nutshell this place is pretty cool. The bartender, I shamefully forgot her name, is super friendly and fantastic.
The atmosphere is that of any place near fishing camps or docks, mixed company but always fun. Meaning super drunk old men and super drunk young guys. Well heeled tourist and the local handicapped fella. All a recipe for fun.
The AC works big time, also makes it pretty cool.
Bottle beer selection is a little thin, other than the main three there is Corona and $ 1.25 Rolling Rock. Good prices here, a round of three beers goes for $ 7. If you buy everyone in the bar Rolling Rock you’ll only be out $ 10. Look like a hero ;)
There is karaōke and bands on some nights. Pool tables and a pile of old juke boxes and broken games in the corner.
If your in the area, definitely stop in and get a seat at the bar. Nice super comfy retired Harrahs chairs ;)
Also if the bar across the street, Swamp Room is too loud, this is a very good alternative. Or if this place is too quiet. you can go across the street.
