Another bar with ghosts, Spirits on Bourbon, was a bar that was helped by Bar Rescue... Jimini need to improve on the bartenders' speed... how can they stay in business with the slow service???
I guess since I'm a regular I get better service
So you are regularly in the Big Easy ? Had some really good meals there and in Baton Rouge, but haven't played trivia in Louisiana.
Yes, I usually visit NOLA a couple times a year. I'm always invited to speak at the Louisiana pipeline safety conference which is always at the Royal Sonesta in the middle of Bourbon St every July. July isn't the best weather, but no more hot and humid than DC in July.
A funny, trivia-related, thing happened in 2014. I was playing Lunchtime at Jimini killing time before my 4 pm flight home and got two 7,000's in a row. The phone rings behind the bar, the bartender answers, looks confused for a few seconds, then hands the phone to me, saying "It's for you." Turns out some players at Boomerjacks in Ft Worth, TX saw me on top two game sin a row, looked up Jimini's # and called to congratulate me. So now I have a fan club. I stopped by Boomerjacks on a trip to Ft worth later that year but no sign of them. I thought I might at least get a free beer out of it. LOL
And yes, the food in NOLA is fantastic. Hard to go wrong. I always try to hit Pascale's Manale for BBQ shrimp. It's cholesterol, baked in more cholesterol, served in a bowl of cholesterol, but it's so good.
