Seal’s Class Act

Mel Waters clearly said it best. Let’s go baby… to the hole in the wall.
I think I’ve previously told yall one of the ways to my heart is a setup and a good fried chicken plate. You can get that and so much more at Seal’s. A neighborhood bar room located in the 7^th ward with two bars, a pool table, and limited seated. But like they say the smaller the club the bigger the party.
I’ve been on nights where there’s live music, couples celebrating wedding anniversaries, or just your regular Friday night fun. You gotta be 30+ years of age to get in which I absolutely love. Sometimes you just wanna get away from the babies and party with some grown folk.
If you don’t mind hearing a lil Frankie Beverly, Tucka, Isley Brothers, The Gap Band, Anita Baker or even some Juvenile or Boosie… this might be the spot for you… or even your mama :-)
And added bonus… if you catch a night where there’s someone outside barbecuing or frying up some seafood you’re in for a treat!

Lets start with their motto ’ Where grown folks come to act a fool’ This place is so laid back that you might think youre visiting a friend. The décor is very haphazard and probably hasnt been updated in over a decade which gives you that ‘we dont give a care’ attitude and neither should you.
There is a long bar as soon as you walk in and a room for a band and then as you keep walking there is another large room with a pool table etc. I stayed in the front room so I cant tell you much more.
They serve drinks set up style (by the pint and half pint) and are moderately priced. The server worked the entire packed room by herself and even took a minute here and there to dance.
There is a sign that says tips are appreciated but not required for good service. Thats a first.
Its located in a primarily african american neighborhood and the clientele matches.
So if this sounds like your kind of place then look no further. The night we were there, one night stand band was playing from 10 – 2 and rocked the house. They all had great personalities and looked like they genuinely enjoyed performing. Otherwise, there is a resident dj playing all your favorite hits.
