What bar is this (in Treme show) (1 Viewer)

[Consigliere]

Season 3, Episode 3. It looked really cool on the show. The screen shots do not do it justice. Anybody recognize it? Thanks!

Could be French 75 (Arnaud's)

That's my guess.

EDIT - here's an inside shot of French 75 looking at the tables where they are sitting.

Winner.

Holy crap you're right. I knew this forum would have the people with the right blend of culture and alcoholism. Thanks!

This is a great show that we only recently discovered - lots of "product placement" for local bars and restaurants - almost cheesy but it works.

Its a lot of pretty shots and it was good for NOLA right after Katrina, but the problem with it is that nothing really happens. It’s a good point in time snapshot of New Orleans, but as a show, it’s not David Simon’s best work.

I agree with you and guido, i made it a point to watch Treme every week, but found it really hard to get into and enjoy.. part of it was that I was distracted by lots of familiar faces, local actors i know who had parts, which usually pulled me out of whatever was happening in the plot.. also seeing so many familiar locations made it hard to focus on the action.. but i also know people like my dad who had a hard time watching Treme b/c they had such recent, emotional wounds from going thru the Storm and the aftermath, and watching the show just brought too much of it to the surface.

Treme was a good show that could have been a great show. The scenes of the city were the best, but the material they had to work with could have made that show great.

I think it's Frank's Place.

I enjoyed Season 1, didn't watch any others. I only wish they had kept John Goodman's character around longer.

The most compelling episode (or part of an episode) was the brief flashback to August 28, 2005 and the setup for each character entering into K. Everything else was just kinda blah.

But it was fun to see all the local landmarks and faces on HBO, I will say.

Totally agree. Simon did a great job a portraying post K NOLA. It was just kind of a still picture.

He referenced a great, short lived show set in New Orleans that aired back in 1987 called ‘Frank’s Place.’
