Nick's Bar
2400 Tulane Ave. , New Orleans, LA

Kind of a hole in the wall type of place. The crowd is super eclectic, with regulars mingling with folks from the neighborhood and the college set. And hey, they have free popcorn.

Best bar on the Westbank. The crowd is friendly and most nights you'll find a cool New Orleans band playing inside.
