Pro Tips
- The Abita Amber and Purple Haze are both on tap and rotate seasonally. Ask the bartender which local draft is freshest that week.
- Friday afternoons often feature po'boy sliders as a special. It is not advertised, so just ask the staff if they are available.
- If the lounge hits capacity during peak hours, the waitlist usually moves within 10 to 15 minutes. The front desk will text you when a seat opens.
- The work counter seats near the window are the last to fill and have the best power outlet access for laptop users.
