This place isn't even on AirBnB! That's how "unknown" it is! GREAT little Cajun bar/restaurant. Has a voodoo speak easy feel with a small bar up front, venture to the back there is a larger space that serves appetizers and craft drinks. Lots to look at and great for a little quiet hole in the wall cocktail.
