New Orleans, Louisiana - I “planned” short “farewell” stop at the “B3” BUT the pARTy Gods had other plans for me … the Battling Bickerson pARTy Pal Team were the 1st entertainment of the slow customer night - they had me “laughing-out-loud” … rain became a rain-storm … then customer “Caitlin” (with 2 👀 & a “C”) and her pARTy Pal sidekick “Katie” (with her good “eye” for observation) kept the smiles-a-rollin’ - can’t leave good smiles … bartender “Leslie” offers Monday night beans and rice … tonite featured white beans & rice - so so so tasty-riffic 😋 … then there was “Married Bob” - another local smile-riffic pARTy Pal … “Don” was a spectator like me, but couldn’t have too much fun - “Don” was married 😃 … shift after shift of smilin’ pARTy Pals made my farewell a pARTy-riffic Memory … I thank the pARTy Gods for the rain, “Leslie” for her tasty-riffic beans “&” smiles and the so many characters of Magazine Street for a smile-riffic end to a super-riffic NOLA “Westward Ho” 2022 memory … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSelfies #RABpARTyPal #rabFavoriteMemory #rabBrothersThreeLounge #BrothersThreeLounge #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2022 #rabBarsOfMagazineStreet #BarsOfMagazineStreet #rabBARSofNOLA #rabBARSofLouisiana #rabBarUSA #rabBartendersNOLA #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabPartyGodFind #rabNOLA #NOLA #rabNewOrleans #NewOrleans #rabLouisiana #Louisiana Monday 11.14.22 (at Brothers Three Lounge) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClBvBD0uTUR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New Orleans, Louisiana - “Pepp’s Pub” from what I “saw” is about 4-leggers … I assume “Pepp” was THE dog the bar was named after and the basis of the dog-friendly spirit … too noisy to interact with anyone … dog pictures line the walls … people pics are also featured BUT fewer 2-leggers than 4-leggers … bartender “Jordan” was pleasant but quite busy … “Jordan” introduced me to a Louisiana single malt whiskey to go with my “HIGH Life” beer … visiting “Pepp’s Pub” during the daylight hours will be in my future … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSelfies #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2022 #rabBARSofNOLA #rabBARSofLouisiana #rabBarUSA #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabNOLA #NOLA #rabNewOrleans #NewOrleans #rabLouisiana #Louisiana Friday 11.11.22 (at Pepp's Pub) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck67iFnu5Wb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New Orleans, Louisiana - “The Abbey Bar” was recommended to me from a local I met at the “Friendly Bar” … “The Abbey” is a dark “quirky”bar with a $5 beer & shot special … a shot of “any” liquor - whiskey, gin, vodka, rum, etc. … to change it up a bit, I selected rum - a nasty face selection it was 🤑 to go with my HIGH Life (beer of NOLA) … I shared smiles with new pARTy Pal “Tito” & his wife “Elisabeth” from Providence, NJ - lots of laughs … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2022 #rabBARSofNOLA #rabBARSofLouisiana #rabBarUSA #RABpARTyPal #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabNOLA #NOLA #rabNewOrleans #NewOrleans #rabLouisiana #Louisiana Thursday 11.10.22 (at The Abbey Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck4Pz1kOVDi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
