At lunchtime on Wednesday (Jan. 27), the sign over the Warehouse District eatery at the corner of Tchoupitoulas and Girod streets read simply “Lucy’s New Orleans.” By dinnertime that same day, the sign was replaced with one reading “701 Bar & Restaurant.”

Was a nasty battle between owners apparently. Lots of staff left.

Everything is exactly the same except the name. Food, drinks, set up, etc.

That attorney taught me business entities and intellectual property in law school. He's a really bright dude.

Highly recommend Warehouse Grill in that area. Great food and the live band playing the night we visited was fantastic.

The one in BR used to have a legit Taco Tuesday, but they've completely fricked it up now.

I haven't hear TigerWise mention it ever.


Couldn't be that good.

I loved Lucy's. Hopefully it stays the same even if the name is generic now.

Oh FFS. It's literally the same place as Lucy's with a different name.

General Lee rode a horse named Lucy, so there you go.

I just saw that this happened. Lucy's was great place to start off a Friday night from 06-09 or so, many of good nights spent there. Then came the District and once Barcadia opened the place lost it completely. I'm friends with Bruce daughter and always thought the family had total control of the place. Sad to see this happening to him.

I worked there during that time span, was working there when the Saints won it all. Great times. Bruce is a cool cat.
