Good if you are looking for more of a local crowd;

Had a great time at d.b.a, snug harbor. Did not enjoy Spotted Cat at all, they did not control the amount of people in and out of the club, it was jammed wall to wall with people and very uncomfortable. Did not even attempt to try to squeeze my way to the bar to get a drink. The street scene itself very crowded and raucous, like upper Bourbon street now.
