It was a popular hang out for the U.S. Marine Corps during and after World War II, and you’ll see several photos on the walls of these men and women. Fun fact: it was such a popular hangout for the Marines that it was nicknamed the "TUN Tavern of New Orleans" in the late 1960s, a nod to the original TUN tavern that was the birthplace of the Marines during the Revolutionary War.
