The hand grenade drink is super sweet and tasty without neglecting the alcohol content! I don’t usually enjoy alcohol, but this is the right drink for someone like me. The hand grenade comes in a souvenir-like tall plastic cup with a mini grenade at the top that you can throw into the baskets hanging in the bar. Due to that, this bar can get a bit sticky and crowded.

Walked by this place on Bourbon Street and got a hand gernade. The bartender was absolutely great, gave us so many recommendations of things to do in the area for our stay. I would 100% recommend stopping in and staying for a drink here. It won't disappoint. The hand gernade is a great way to cool down, with it being frozen, but you can also choose the non- frozen option.

My aunt and I went in for drinks. We got the grenade. My gosh it was strong but good. Wasn't many people in there but people were coming in and out. That one drink got me tipsy. It was 11. Definitely worth the money.

My first time visiting New Orleans “NOLA” and tried the Hand Grenade at Tropical Isle right on Bourbon street. It is strong and comes in a grenade shaped plastic glass and its long and you can carry it along with you while walking outdoors. It was great. You get an option of selecting either Frozen or with ice or a small or a large one.
