I was there for Nov. 5th and a bunch of LSU fans came there of course trying to be dicks. In this town they could go to any/every other bar to be amongst LSU fans, they just wanted to be annoying.

Or maybe they live in the warehouse district and the Rusty Nail is one of their regular hangouts

The Bourbon Pub is a great place to watch the game. As is Oz right across the street.

I've heard some of my Bama friends without a ticket are planning on watching the game there.

You should really watch the game at The Dungeon over in the French quarter. There will def be bama fans everywhere around there.

lol.I was definitely serious in the fact that I do indeed have some Bama friends that are planning on watching the game at The Pub...lol

That said, the Pub and Oz probably aren't a good spot for the straight Bama fans.

It's a great bar, but it's going to be slammed. They will be hosting people from Alabama all weekend, so you might want to stop in to see if you like the vibe on Saturday or Sunday nights if you'll be there. It's crowded, but if you get there early for a good spot, it'll be fun.

ETA: If you like music and you know the band Second Hand Jive, they'll be playing at the Rusty Nail for two nights.

There won't be a shortage of fans to heckle. I'm sure you'll find plenty if Alabama loses wherever you go. If Alabama wins, we'll be singing it to you guys all night.

A girl I know who works at walk ons says espn rented it out for the BCS championship game. I'm assuming people will still be able to go in and eat and watch the game but I'd be careful if that your first choice.



This is correct for daily big wig wining and dining but....... the ESPN group will be out at 6 PM and the restauarant will re-open to the public.

Last time I was there for an Alabama game some big fat Irish/ginger mixed breed frick threw up on himself then walked around yelling in people's face. Pure gump trash.

They do have Whistlepig though. And a killer grilled cheese.

I've communicated with the guy at the Rusty Nail who is coordinating activities the Bama activities on Sunday and Monday. He was very helpful and welcoming. It will certainly be very crowded but space should be available in the parking lot where there the game will be projected on a large screen.

Would watching the game at Herrah's be fun? A couple of my friends want to. I'm against it (would rather just watch it at a bar. I've been to the casinos in Biloxi and it just doesn't seem like the best setup to watch a game at.

Harrahs has a club in it with a ton of TVs. It's called masquerade, and would prob be a cool place to watch a game though I've never done it.

ETA: plus harrahs is literally in the middle of everything you'd want to walk to. So if you decide to leave you're at least close.

Lucy's Projector isn't a bad idea if you don't mind being outside.
