Within the last year, a few places offering craft brews have popped up in the French Quarter… One of them being the «Draft House» I use quotes around the name because the staff told me that it is a temporary name and it will be changing shortly…
This place just opened New Year’s Eve 2013 and it looks like they rushed things a bit.
First, the only signage is a vinyl sign in front that says «Draft House». Then you walk into a entry area and have two choices… walk into a room with nothing in it, or into the main bar.
The back bar itself looks «done». They claim 54 handles on tap, I didn’t county but I believe them. They also had a bottle list of about 50.
Their selection was «ok»… I noted they had 7 or more Abita selections on tap… Appropriate I guess.
The bar itself was odd to say the least. It was a standard wooden bar with this layer of «Glue» and covered with a standard piece of hard plastic…
In talking with some of the staff, it appears they rushed the opening to capture some of the NYE, Sugar Bowl crowd and I would guess the bar top wasn’t ready and this was a temporary (and extremely ugly) fix.
The staff needed a lot of work… At one point I counted 5 of them standing around talking but not paying any attention to the customers… I was trying to make eye contact and signal to them «Hey. over here». The place wasn’t very busy and they were just standing around talking to each other.
At one point a girl asked me what kind of beers I like so she could make a recommendation… I told her «Dark and Malty.» She said «Oh, not my type of beers… I can’t help you there.» She then turned around and walked away.
Another issue I had was the 8 – 9 dollar pours… I know it is touristy… I know it is the French Quarter… but pouring an Abita Amber into a plastic glass should not be that expensive…
I love having a choice of beers to drink in the Quarter, but this place is rushed, the staff sucks, knows nothing about beer and the building itself isn’t ready for customers.
I couldn’t help but think that after being open only two days, they are in need of «Bar Rescue» to come and save them.
