The Howlin' Wolf

We had a drink here right after we landed at midnight. Had the crawfish pie (which were actually 5 or so small turnovers) and the blackened fish sandwich. This comes with cole slaw, but all I received was a tiny plastic cup of vinegary cabbage and onion. Lame. Overpriced at $9. They have a great beer selection.

Nice, small, and cozy place.  Decently priced food and drinks. Quick service.

We came to see the Hot 8 Brass Band at the Howlin' Wolf Den.  They weren't exactly ready to start around 10 when arrived, and there was barely any indication that they desired to do so.  We saw the guys in the band lingering around, so we figured we'd wait a bit and see how it went.  We had a beer in the mean time.  The bar itself is OK enough. Magic Hat on tap always makes me happy, but what does NOT  make me happy is the lack of dairy ON PURPOSE for my beloved White Russians. Not cool, man.

I know that I confused and embarrassed the shit out of some poor male patrons. For some odd reason (I'm generally brighter than this,) I could not decipher which was the men's restroom or the women's restroom. Hell, I didn't even notice that there was a women's restroom at all, and I swore there was no sign on the men's.  My husband says there was, but whatever. I still don't believe there was. There was certainly no lock.  We all found out the hard way on that one.  Anyhow, I had become drunk enough to not care, and overjoyed once the band got around to playing.  We had a blast getting funky in the square cement box they designate as a stage area.

Go check out the Hot 8 Brass Band, and for the love of all that is holy, loosen up and let go! Dance and enjoy!!!!  You'll be so happy you did!
