We were out looking for bar food late last night, after many places had already shut down. Bourbon St. had a small menu selection, and some high-priced mains, but we decided to just go for some appetizers.There are lots of pseudo-old-timey jazz posters on the wall in the bar, but the music was mostly American pop and R&B from a few years ago.

There are lots of pseudo-old-timey jazz posters on the wall in the bar, but the music was mostly American pop and R&B from a few years ago. There was nothing else noticeably New Orleans-y or American about the place. We ordered:
Jalapeno poppers: Frozen, obviously (there are no fresh jalapenos in Hong Kong). For what they were, they were alright. If you've ever had frozen jalapeno poppers, you know exactly what to expect. They came with a marginally passable guacamole, which I've never seen, but enjoyed. B+
Potato skins: These were slathered in barbecue sauce and that mostly overwhelmed the flavor. Maybe the worst potato skins I've ever had? D
Chili: the tortilla chips that came with the chili were extremely stale. The chili itself was overly sweet in my opinion and not very meaty or hearty. C
The drinks on tap were the same suite of terrible Hong Kong beers: Carlsberg, Heineken, San Miguel, that sort of thing. They did have Asahi on tap, which isn't as terrible as the rest. We ordered a round of bottles of an American IPA which was good, but at $70 a pop, expensive.
I might go here sometime for the ribs, which other reviewers seem to like. Other than that, probably not coming back. Final opinion: C
