What a nice little getaway in the French Quarter

This is a pleasant courtyard with a small museum and a bar attached. Pleasant staff, good Irish whiskey, and other drinks including a restorative ginger tea--which we earned from the barkeep was a treatment for cholera back in the days of the Irish immigration boom....More

Great Place!

We just had the greatest time here! The museum was cool and there were $3 pints of Guinness! Had a great time taking with the owner Mathew. A welcome change to the craziness of Bourbon Street. Highly recommend!
