BarFly's Review of La Merde
Montage's bar is dedicated to the professional drinker, as subtly indicated by the huge "NO MINORS" sign that takes up the better part of one wall, and further evinced by the attitude of the take-no-crap barkeeps who reserve little patience for the dithering or naive. Enter on Third, or through Montage dining room.
Hours:
Daily 5pm - 1am
Thursdays: Shanrock's Triviology with Trivia Jock Shanrock.

Gave me the shits. But damn it was tasty. I've only been once, when they did 1/2 price wine bottles on Monday. Come to think of it, maybe it was more that I drank an entire bottle of wine that gave me the shits...
Anyway, the bartender was a little too casual for my taste (it took me 15 minutes to serve the three people in front of me before I could get my wine), but maybe he was playing double duty as a busser for the restaurant or something.
Decent atmosphere with friends, and that Satanic Priest comes in sometimes if you need something other than walls to stare at.
This is where I spend my Thursday nights, drinking and partaking in Shanrock's trivia!
The food is excellent and the drinks are crazy! Where else, other than behind the liquor store, are you able to get your mad dog or night train fix???
That is what la Merde means in french, so they say. Awesome bartender E-Wood and great atmosphere! It's right down the street from my bar and I go after work to get good food late.
La Merde's got a new happy hour (M - F, 4 - 6), wherein they offer half a po' boy sandwich for only $3, which comes with a huge helping of delish macaroni salad. You can get 'em with alligator, eggplant, crawfish, catfish, etc.
Also, Kyle is a weenie.
This new addition the montage offers a great happy hour food. The items are served in a clever bento box fashion. My favorites include the gator rolls, deep fried pickles, and homemade crackers and humus(killer). in addition to the good food, the draught beers and cocktails are notable. My only complaint is that happy hour is only offered from 4 to 6- i get off work at 5:30.
