Mandeville Daiquiris

The trailer, as locals call it, is one of my go to spots on the NS! It’s loud, crowded, cheap, and a lot of fun. This bar works for me because it is one of the first bars you will find after crossing the 24-​mile causeway bridge. I also like that most of the bartenders there are super friendly!
They don’t have any beers on draft which is mind boggling to me (how do you open a bar and not want draft beer for your customers?). Otherwise they have a good selection of imported and domestic bottled beers.
The trailer has darts and two pool tables. The music, unfortunately, is controlled by the house but they are usually pretty accommodating if you want the music changed though.
The trailer is a good spot to have a drink with friends but like all things on the Northshore the party ends at 2am. That is so damn early to cut people off. What a bummer!

Affectionately referred to as the «trailer» by locals so that should be your first sign to stay away. It is literally a double wide trailer so I guess that makes it somewhat fancy. Smoky, dingy, average drinks. The bartenders are nice, the patrons not so much. No cover, no dress code.

Stopped in with a friend from out of town for the first time. Our Piña Coladas were terrible. They tasted like cheap rum and were so strong that we couldn’t taste the piña colada flavor at all. Very disappointing waste of $ 9. Love the convenience of a drive thru, but that is all.

It’s high time I review Mandeville Daiquiri’s so, here we go:
1.) Location, location, location. Tough to beat this placement. It peeks out as I pass by onto 22 or, as I turn into Chase bank on 190 or, continue on the service road.
2.) Friendly bartenders, always. Tammy is the shiznit. I’ve seen this lady break up a fight with grit & grace! Then, go right back to serving patrons with a smile!
3.) The locals call this place the trailer, I call it «The Traila». Either way, it will always hold a special place in my heart. I’ve been here at my worst. When my face was swollen & eyes blood red post pet euthanasia. Wearing yoga pants & uggs w/​a hole in the toe (glorified pj’s).
I felt completely welcome & they were generous with the booze.
4.) There’s stuff around to keep drunk people occupied: Dart board, 2 Pool Tables & video game (I think). Plus, cig machine & last but not least… 2 daiquiri machines.
It might not quite be Cheers & they probably won’t remember your name. However, you’ll almost always here that naturally N’awlins greeting: Hey Baby! How ya doin’!!!
That’s pretty awesome to me. The sweet sounds of home.

Since it’s Heather’s go to daiquiri shop, I figured it would be an acceptable place to while away an hour or so while waiting to go somewhere else. Her advice didn’t disappoint. No draft beer, but a lot of choices in bottles in the cooler. (Well, that’s not surprising since it it is a daiquiri shop.) Plenty of TVs scattered around if you weren’t interested in the two pool tables or the dart board. For some bizarre reason, everyone was hanging around the Golden Tee game that day. Amazing, I couldn’t see any video poker machines. It was smoky, but you come to expect that in a bar.

This is a nice, hometown daiquiri bar and sportsbar.
Service is good, and the people are friendly. Great place on game days ans the crowd is 20-​something…
