Editorial Review for Friar Tuck's – by Eric S. Hartwig

The Scene
The spirit here is relaxed, with lava lamps, dragon pictures and only one LSU pennant. Familiar crowds play pool, darts or the Golden Tee machine, while cliques chat around the bar and at tables under the light of beer advertisements.

The Draw
Tight-knit groups from Loyola and Tulane gather here for much the same reason their collegiate forebears hung out at several other incarnations of Tuck's in the '60s, '70s and late '80s: fraternity events and low-key nights. Blue-jeaned undergrads and black-clad sorority girls mingle to MTV music and drink-standard potables. Friar Tuck's holds a place in many hearts thanks to nearly three decades in town. Old regulars still stop in to reminisce, and cypress walls from the late Carrollton site give it an old feel.

Tucks is a place for all ages (over 18). It is a very riviting place to go and let loose with great friends and new aqcuantances. The bartenders are very amicable and approachable; they help you out and lend a helping hand. If in the Loyola area, one should definitly go visit this place.

Pros: 93% of bartenders, drunk girls

Cons: tulane frat boys, very dumb drunk guys
