| - Bourbon Street is a cool concept with unfortunate execution, leaving the place feeling rather dreary and unappealing.
My friend and I decided to stop in for a beer or two before heading out to the strip. We were driving by and thought we'd give it a try. When we approached the door, we had to wait a bit to be "buzzed" in, which we thought was odd but since we aren't from the area, we thought maybe it was normal.
Upon entering, we remarked how dark the place felt and noticed that there was only one other customer present- a gentleman who was seated at the gambling machines. Somewhat concerned by the lack of clientele on a weekend night, we decided to check out the menu.
The young lady that helped us was very upbeat and made us feel welcome right away. She made some recommendations from the menu and explained to us how their tokens work (getting beer with token purchases or getting tokens with beer purchases). They are cash only which was kind of surprising, but the beer was reasonably priced and the tokens sounded fun so we ordered a couple, got our tokens and started playing the games.
They have a decent variety of games ranging from basketball to pool to beer pong to shooters. They are a bit expensive, to be honest, with many costing 6-8 tokens for a single play. This is particularly so given that the tickets earned in the games can merely be redeemed for an assortment of Mardi Gras-like beads.
With all of that said, the price we paid for the beer and games we felt was overall reasonable.
I also ordered the fried pickles and they were very very unappealing. The batter was far too thick, the pickle within was bland and soggy and the grease was old/clearly used to fry everything as they tasted "meaty". I left them on the counter where I was served (having not seen a trash can) and a lady (not the same one who helped us at the bar) quite rudly asked if I meant to leave them there. It was at this point that we decided to leave.
While the couches near the big TVs were nice, I'll also add that the decor was quite odd, which didn't make the place feel comfortable to begin with.
Overall this place has great potential as the concept really is a good one. That said, subpar food, odd decor and a mixed bag of employees (some great and some rude) likely points to the reason only one customer was present throughout our time here. Would definitely consider coming back for another try, but for now 3 stars.
