Drago's is closing

[HelmutVII]

The curse of the Johnston/Doucet intersection lives on.

That location seems like a prime spot. Movie theater, corner bar, right in the middle of the city. It really is a mystery why nothing can keep its doors open there. Especially a name like Drago's.

Somehow, Martin Hall is behind this

(had to keep it University related somehow.)

First hooters now dragos. Dang

Food wasn't very good. Surprised it lasted this long, tbh.

I never went because Don's was right down the street.

Went to Dragos in Metairie for over 25 years for their oysters. Lafayette location just as good. Lafayette supports chains and restaurants owned outside of Lafayette. Flock to latest opening. Locals getting hammered.
We’ll have to drive to other locales to eat.
OK. I’m ranting but I’ll miss my charbroiled oysters.

Heard years ago that the lease the property owners offer is easy to get in and then the price balloons to an unsustainable amount after a certain amount of time.

See the Chimes. That place is jammed just about all the time since it opened. I had a few friends go and the reviews were mixed. I can't bring myself to go. Just makes my skin crawl knowing their backstory.
