Looks to be same place, new name. I've been told management, employees, etc. hasn't changed. Their FB says they're still doing taco tuesdays and whatnot.

I guess it just changed ownership and the name didn't go with it...?


Gonna re-open as "Lucille's, Part time base jumper's bar"

Ditto

Looked like Lucy's to me. Maybe they are making the transition to the new name as drawn out as possible. People will continue to hang out on that corner regardless.

I stood right across the street at Legacy with no wait in the restroom and immediate service at the bar all night.

Yeah it just officially changed to 701 yesterday so I doubt there was much that happened with it over the weekend. On a side note the new name 701 is actually the address (701 Tchoupitoulas). They probably had a short window to come up with a new name lol. Gonna take some good brand management to build that one up.

Is that going to be the name of the bar or just the name of the corporation that owns it?

I'd imagine they'll try and make any changes as subtle as possible, seeing as the name change was probably the result of legal matters (kind of like the Quarter Camellia Grill). No reason to mess with a profitable model. Other than the name I doubt much will change.

You realize it is basically all the same people, right? So you're hoping for people you supposedly liked before to fail.


You realize you don't know what you are talking about right?

Do they get to keep Lucy's douche bags, or do they have to get their own?

I know that the people I am referring to are not involved with the business anymore, therefore I won't be patronizing it from now on.

Your comment that "basically all of the same people are still involved" is not at all correct.

Well, how many people do you know? How many of the people that owned it last week still do? I know that answer is more than zero, not to mention all the employees. You seem like another that is only getting part of the story.

I'm there every Tuesday and Friday. I noticed the surfboards in the hallway upstairs yesterday. I was curious but didn't think to ask the kitchen staff.

Damn. I watched the Saints win the SB at Lucy's. RIP



Was there for the SB as well. Awesome night. Took a drunken walk all the way to the goldmine after. Nothing but class.
