new orleans bar stays open through flood

Recommended Posts

have you seen this? i've heard jackson square/bourbon street had some flooding and looters. i hope there isn't much damage to the french quarter. i've seen a bar closed on bourbon street (the following day)-- they used chains/locks on the knobs. anyway, i wonder how she managed this? and why is she still trying to profit off these people??

Sprinkel's only reason for keeping the bar open was habit. She definitely did not seem to be doing it for the money. She was only charging four dollars for mixed drinks and two dollars for beer.

"I could be making 1,000 dollars in six hours easy," she said. "It's not right. I'm not going to gouge. Everybody here is local."

It's the spirit of the French Quarter, Smith explained.

"We'll stop partying in a couple of days because everyone will run out of money."



Well there goes the theory on 'they did not have the money to leave'.

I was, however, a bit unclear on whether it was the 'spirit of the French Quarter' to not gouge, or to drink until you run out of money...hmmm...
Life is not fair and there are no guarantees...

2 dollars for a beer in the middle of that freaking disaster and you think she's ripping people off? Of all the terrible stuff going on there a bar still serving patrons doesnt bother me at all ...

Or a Pyramid, or a Sam Adams, or a Sierra Nevada, or a Lang. People drink Bud Light when they're mowing the lawn or watching a football game; there are lots of other beers when you want something with taste.
