This is a Covington Classic! If you love jazz or creole food then definitely grab a bite here. I personal love the muscles on the appetizer menu. This was a local jazz musician Dee Felice namesake and still in his family today, so just a cool spot to at least grab a drink and the old jazz themed bar.
