  A group of us who roam around taverns looking to enjoy pizza, wings, mozzarella sticks with Melba sauce, and good beer, decided to check out Bourbon Street Bar & Grill. The place is clean, the staff are friendly, and the atmosphere with its wood paneled walls and booths feels more like you are at an upstate country pub than on Bourbon Street in NOLA. In fact, I dont recall seeing a single dish on the menu that you would expect to find throughout NOrleans. No gumbo, no jambalaya, no touffe, no crawfish, no poboys, no muffaletta, no red beans and rice!Maybe thats false advertising. So why did we go there? Well like I said, they did have on their menu, pizza, wings, mozzarella sticks with melba sauce, and beer. We started with a pitcher of beer that is made especially for them by the local Chatham Brewery. I like a lot of what Chatham brews, but this would have been lower on my list of favorites from them because it seemed too light on the hops and malt. Our second pitcher of Sam Adams Winter Lager was more to my liking. Other than those two brews there was nothing else that our group was in a hurry to order from the standard list of bigwig corporate brews.As for the food, the hot wings were good, they were just spicy enough and moist with a good amount of flavor. The garlic wings were apparently a little less desirable to our group as I couldnt persuade anyone to eat the last two. We also ordered a basket of Potato Nuggets (tots) which were really difficult to palm off after everyone tried one. We did also try some boneless wings that got a mixed reaction from our group. I thought they were decently moist with a mix of light and dark meat, but I think the heavy crispy breading put off some folks.The Mozzarella Sticks were pretty standard Sysco variety with a raspberry sauce that seemed more lumpy than jamey and awkward for dipping. Overall, mediocre at best after having tasted close to two dozen preparations in the last two years.The pizza was average at best. Id suggest requesting it well done to get it more crispy unless you enjoy a chewy crust with little to no browning on the sides and bottom. Our first pie was topped with mozzarella, sausage, bacon, and jalapeo. Cheese lovers will likely enjoy all this cheese, but it did seem too much for the base of the pie. Our second pizza was their Buffalo chicken pie. Again, too much cheese for my taste, even though the crust was a bit more well done on this one. I almost didnt notice that there was a piece of chicken on my slice. There was no doubt however, that plenty of Buffalo hot sauce had been zig-zaged across the top.The menu also includes a number of Italian dishes such as Stromboli, Calzone, and Ziti with meatballs or sausage. Karaoke goes on almost every night and the music can get rather loud even when no one is at the mic. And contrary to their web page stating that it starts a 9 pm on Thursday, we learned that it actually starts a 8 pm like most other nights.
