Obviously Cure isn’t your cup of tea then
Got that right. I went there once when my wife was working for a title company several years ago. The owner of the company, an attorney, wanted to treat his staff and I happened to be invited since I had sent things like home baked banana nut bread for them to have in the mornings and even went as far as catering a few lunches for them.
Long story short, I got there when they knocked off work and had a couple beers followed by a couple cocktails. The companies owner was ordering bottles of wine, those small plates of food, cocktails, etc. for over 2 hours. I found out from my wife that he had spent almost $1,300 by the time they checked out and tipped the staff.
Truth is, I don't know that kind of life where spending that kind of money on food and drinks is considered OK.
The most I've ever spent for a meal and cocktails is $700 and that was when I had won more than $1200 on a season long NFL football pick-em tournament with fellow employees. Every week we'd pick the entire NFL lineup including the points spread.
Every game lost would see $1 going in the prize pool. By seasons end me and a fellow picker were tied and it came down to a the last game of the regular season and I came out on top.
The deal was, the winner took all the participants out to dinner at a nice restaurant. This was in the 80's by the way, so things were not near as expensive as they are today.

Cure isn't really for me either unless I need to take a business associate somewhere like that.

I appreciate the answers guys. Went to Pizza Dominica tonight and it was solid as hell.

Just go to a dive where the drinks are cheap all the time.

Bar Marilou downtown but it’s not cheap, even for happy hour. Hands down the best craft cocktails I’ve had in the city in a while though.

Superior Seafood 50 cent oysters and half price pints.

If your downtowm many of the boutique and smaller hotels with cool bars have awesome happy hours like Ace, NOPSI, W French Quarter and the Catahoula, plus at Ace and NOPSI you can end up drinking with a nice group of ladies from bachelorette parties or a group just coming down from the pool.

For that type of scene, I would go to Bouligny over Cure.

Blue Oak is still solid but it used to be a lot better. Now only selected (shitty) drafts are $3.
Still can’t beat the $5 sliders and nachos.

Pizza Domenica’s happy hour is great but the hours are pretty bush league (3-5pm).
Superior Seafood like others have mentioned- also like their reverse happy hour on Friday and Sat. (starts at 10 and I think it goes until close)
Araña has 1/2 price tacos & drinks (excluding Mojitos for some reason) from 3-7 M-F. One of the only options that goes until 7 on Magazine.
Barrelproof is a popular spot. Their $5 ole fashioned is hard to beat. They aggravated me the last time I was there, though since the bartender didn’t mention anything about Rye OFs not being included.
Cavan has a good selection of small plates for $8ish, $5 cocktails/wine and I think half off beer.
DTB is about the same as Cavan deal-wise (Chef Nathan used to be at Cavan). A selection of small plates, 1/2 off beer, wine and Wells.
Been wanting to check out Tito’s Ceviche and Maypop, both of which have good offerings.

I don’t understand why you would say a place sucks because someone else spent a lot of money there.
How does a place not being your scene make it bad?
