Old Metairie Road now has a Felipe’s restaurant which makes it the fourth location in the New Orleans area. The first location that opened was in Jefferson Parish. According to one of the owners, Pike Howard, the new location is referred to as “Felipe’s of the Future.”
“The way we designed this, we wanted people to not get confused about what they could do. What we did here is we built a line to corral people a little better. We have the classic Felipe’s bar — the horseshoe bar, the one you see at many of our Felipe’s, but what’s different about this one is the outdoor/indoor feel because of the big windows,” he said.
There is an outdoor patio with seating and a play area for kids. There is a comfortable yet modern feel to the new location. “We are starting to introduce booths in New Orleans, and we have charging stations underneath the table to charge your phone while you hang out. Also, in today’s world, you have to have a hook for ladies and their purses,” Howard said.
