re: FBD - 1st of Many

FBD: Voo Ka Ray



Went to checked out this World of Beer place and had a pleasant visit. The space, outside of being on Vets, is pretty nice. Reminds me of newer Houston type places. I typically prefer neighborhood style watering holes with organic atmospheres but this wasn't too bad even though it felt like a BWW. There wasn't many people there but the women to men ratio was on the good side.

The staff didn't know shite but I wasn't expecting them to know beer since Yeezy already has a job. They are going through some maven training program and getting educated at the moment. Iregardless the staff was very friendly, attractive, and the service was great.

The food exceeded my expectations. Order garlic parm chicken wings which were very plump and juicy. Not like those free range frail meatless wings that have become so popular. Not the best wings in town but better than average. Also order a couple shrimp tacos. Fried shrimp is not my preferred style shrimp taco but these were more than serviceable. Food prices were pretty fair.

The beeyahs. Yezzy put the selection on par with Uptown Bulldog but I would disagree. More on a Lagers level. We shall see how this plays out as relationships build within the local beer scene. I'm also not a fan of paying $7 for a pint of local IPA.

Overall the place isn't bad and is a nice addition to the area. Although I don't see myself going to this location often I can see myself at the CBD location on gamedays and what not. I'm interested to see how they do in the long run. I typically associate Metairie bars with trashy people in smoked filled rooms with women who have been ridden hard and put away wet. This place doesn't fit that bill. Not allowing kids might hurt the daddy beer nerd traffic too.
