The Ugly Dog Saloon & BBQ is located
on the corner of Andrew Higgins Drive and Tchoupitoulas Street in the
Warehouse District of New Orleans. It is a good sized Neighborhood
Saloon that serves Barbeque, and other pub grub food like
hamburgers, fries, and such. I had the Beef Brisket and a couple of sides and it cost
about $10.00. The Beef Brisket was tender and tasty and I enjoyed it.
I did not care for the Potato Salad. It was a bit dry and
bland for my taste. They have several beers on tap including the locally brewed
Abita Amber Ale. Abita Amber Ale is a medium bodied ale that goes down
smooth and easy. The Abita Ale
costs only $2.00 per pint, so you can hang out here, watch a Saints game if they are
playing, and mingle with the local folks without killing your wallet.
The locals hang out at The Ugly
Dog Saloon & BBQ and watch Sports on TV, play a game of pool, or
just shoot the breeze. Everyone is friendly and will engage
you in a conversation easily.
The Ugly Dog Saloon is less
than a mile from the French Quarter, so it is possible to find really good
food and beer for normal prices when you get out of the French
Quarter. If
you smoke, they have a patio out front that is covered, and if the New Orleans
Saints are on TV, they will put a TV set out there so you can watch the game. I
recommend The Ugly Dog Saloon & BBQ for a nice place to eat and drink
some beer while not killing your budget..
