We arrived on Beale Street a little after 7 pm on a Friday night - family of 5 with underage teenagers. We had read kids were welcome at Silky O'Sullivans, but when we inquired for seating for dinner we were turned away. There was a...$5 cover per person and no one under the age of 21 was allowed. We walked to their second entrance on the patio and were told the same thing. He said it would be the same trying to find dinner anywhere on Beale Street. But the bouncer took pity on us, stepped away for a minute, and then let us in. We sat on the patio. The food was very, very good. We had a bowl of gumbo, BBQ shrimp, and BBQ pork poboys. Excellent pulled pork on excellent bread! This "Irish" establishment had some of the best food of our trip, including many stops in New Orleans. Reasonable prices. We were allowed into the main restaurant to watch the dueling pianos - we stayed for one set, but didn't really find them very entertaining. So not sure what their family policy really is; wouldn't count on being let in with underage teens on the weekend evenings.More
