French Quarter Daiquiris

  I've been to this place many times with my roommate and had a great time but last night made me need to look for a new daiquiri shop to frequent. Went there with a large group of friends and the owner of the place got drunkenly belligerent and combative with my group. She threatened physical violence and got in the face of a member of my party that had literally not said a word to her (as a joke, another member of my group had blamed something someone else did on him because they thought it wasn't a big deal aka: someone had said "goodnight" to the owner when she was resting her head on the bar because she'd had too much to drink). She screamed and cursed and we were all completely taken aback. She then told my roommate and another friend of mine that it was "nothing against us but we needed to find better friends" and proceeded to insult our friends for her drunken mistake. We will never be returning here. This was by far the most unprofessional experience I've ever had in any establishment. It's just a shame because this place is walking distance from our home and we've been here literally dozens of times before and never had a negative experience before this but this was something that I can't chance having happen again. Customer service obviously isn't a priority at this place.

  It's a grimey dive bar that has wickedly strong drinks. My personal fav is the Tropicalada with an extra shot.
  
  Jukebox, dartboards, and pool tables are fun extras.

  If you like Daiquiries and LSU this place is a must stop and go.

  4 stars may be a stretch but that's right I said it.  Daquiries are still a bit of a novelty for me as a life long Northerner.  They represent swaying palm trees, hammocks, and sandy beaches.  In LA they are served at actual DRIVE THRUS!  I mean...you can buy an alcoholic beverage and DRIVE away with it in your hand with the straw sticking out...as long as the paper remains on the top of the straw it is not considered an open container (as if one could not simply remove the lid and sip their way to a drunken brain freeze).  I marvel at the lack of stuffy blue laws we suffer from up North and embrace this freedom that the south has provided.  
  
  I digress.  French Quarter Daquiries is NOT a drive thru but they do a healthy to-go business.  The local coupon books almost always sport a two large daquiries for the price of one and we're talking Big Gulp proportions.  It's amazing.  I don't think that I would actually hang out in the bar as it seems to have that loud, angry, boy music playing all the time but the bartender's card me (which I love) and they are super friendly....and at the end of your transaction with the friendly staff you walk away with a vacation in a big ass cup.  I can smell the suntan lotion just thinking about it.
