Last Friday looking for a new place to get something to eat and a drink. Found that the Hotel in the old Salvation Army Building was open. On the second floor was a spacious cocktail bar, raw seafood and cheese bar. Had sufficient seating areas. It's called Evangeline, opens at 4:00.
Staff friendly and knowledgeable. Limited beers on tap, but good selection of custom cocktails. The small tiered platter from the raw bar was $80, and had enough to keep three of us happy. Pricey but worth it.
Nice to go there on an expense account.
