Colby's! My spot for pre and post Zephyrs games. Â The staff are really fun and personable. Â I want a t-shirt.

I had a great time hanging out with my fellow Yelp Elite Joel Mc Steve I and Heather D! Now you know we had to check this place out once Steve I said Joel M would like this place. After being there I can see why! It's a friendly Metry bar in a strip mall with a bunch of other bars a stones throw away. Â I think a Metry bar crawl UYE may be in order and I'm not even much of a drinker (since I'm such a lightweight!).

The bartenders are friendly, the patrons look like regulars, I could barely smell the smoke, and there is a pool table and even a dart league! Â In fact, there is a wall displaying the dart feathers you can purchase. Â Yup, they mean serious business with their darts! The bar doesn't offer food but they are super nice about you bringing outside food and eating it there. In fact, like Joel M said, they have menus behind the bar so you can order. My friends and I ended up picking up food from Taqueria Sanchez and it was amazing! Now I'm excited about trying the other Taquria Sanchez on the Westbank.

It's a great neighborhood bar but can be challenging finding it since my mapquest directions put me at Kool Smiles Dental when it's actually across the street behind the Super 8. Once you see Taqueria Sanchez hang right and you're there! Plus parking can be tough because there are so many bars nearby.

Happy Bar Hopping!

If you've lived in Metry for some time you've probably been to The Max. The Max has been there forever and is a local's bar. Colby's is in the next parking lot over from The Max. I prefer Colby's over the other half dozen bars at this intersection because 1) Most of the beers are under $4 Â 2) The bartenders here have more personality than at their neighboring bars. Plus this bar doesn't look like a shit hole. The bar is neat and appealing to the eye.

There is one pool table and dart boards for some not-so-friendly competition. They have a DJ every Fri and Sat night and even bring in a band once in awhile. There is no food served at Colby's but they are so hospitable that they will let you buy outside food and eat it there. I have even brought Popeye's there one time and no one raised an eyebrow.

I'm glad some awesome Yelpers joined me there the other night. They finally got a taste of a good ole Metry bar!

P.S. There are MANY cool Metairie bars within 2 miles of Colby's!

Oh man a FTR is usually a cool thing but if you're FTR after a long thread of talk AND having a fellow Elite Yelper throw out publicly that this joint would be a great place for yours truly then there is some internal pressure on the review....

1st off even though the address is listed I ain't telling you how to get there cause even with the address I had to HUNT for this joint!! Monday/Tuesday opens at 11 AM and closes at 2 AM, Wednesday - Sunday it's open 24 hours....

Located in a cramped little strip mall hard by I-10 with Taqueria Sanchez a stagger & a stumble from the front door to your right as you exit and Randezzo's a stagger & a stumble to your left (That's your only hint) this place is surprisingly open & spacious with half of it dark and the other half more lighted for the patrons using the 6+ dartboards....if not for the light in the 2d half I'd say this was definitely a dive but it's just got too much light going on...(As an aside there is like 6-7 bars within something like a 500 yard walk so would be a great place for a pretty contained Metry Bar Crawl...Steve I.'s brilliant idea)

Walking in you find a long bar immediately to your left with 5-6 pub tables with stools to your right scattered around a single pool table and past that the aforementioned dartboards....

They mix a good scotch & water and both bartendresses we had last night were friendly, easy on the eyes and on top of their games...They also have menus under the counter for the aforementioned restaurants and your welcome to order and bring back and enjoy at that bar...For those that smoke they let you light up indoors and I hardly noticed the smoke at all....

All in all this is a great locals bar tucked away in Metry and now that I've found it I will definitely be back cause I do believe this is my kinda place....Thanks Steve I. for throwing out the teaser that got me to.check it out and thanks to Heather D. & Michelle B. for showing up y'all's company was much enjoyed!!

PS They got an old school condom machine in the Men's Room...
