Home of the infamous hand grenade . I've heard rumor that it's left over liquor mixed into a slushy but who knows for sure. Also the bathrooms here are awesome, love the jungle theme and sounds lol.

Gabriel Hayes

A hand grenade here is a must do when in New Orleans. So tasty but very strong. Definitely need to pace them.

Known for their hand grenades . Not strong, but it will sneak up on you if you had one too many. There are tons of Tropical Isle down bourbon street. Worth trying.

Money Scott

Love this place the Bartenders and entertainment are cool as F)@$&k. Shout out to Tim and Dave behind the bar and Debie and the Deacons on stage.

Ask for a Shark Attack ! It’s a vodka sour experience!

"They tell me that this is the home of New Orleans' most powerful drink, the "Hand Grenade". Really though - is there any drink more "powerful" than straight prune juice ?" - Conan O'Brien

Ryan Nixon

Classic hand grenades , they also have a "skinny" version with fewer calories and the same flavor!

Ben K.

Home of the hand grenade . Tastes like radioactive waste, but it gets you drunk!

Yair Flicker

Don't use the shark from the Shark Attack (R) as a fleshlight.

Anamaria Hernandez

Get a Hand Grenade . It's pure liquor . Also get a Shark Attack - you'll be entertained!

Brandi Bruce

Look for the Godzilla #teamnick

James Ryken

Just go with the Hand Grenade . Get 1 - awesome. Get 2 - even better. Get 3 - bad move.

Juan Diaz

Robert Beatty

Hand grenade , on the rocks. Go next door to the Funky Pirate for good music .

Kate Furman

Hand grenades , duh.

Susan Carr

I had one hand grenade in over a year...I couldn't breathe after finishing it. Water is recommended after finishing a hand grenade ...or just go lay down.

Kirti D

You can't go to Tropical Isle & not get their signature drink , the Hand Grenade . Go upstairs, get your drink, & throw beads at the debauchery on Bourbon Street!

Briana Prieto

Even after living in the area, locals and myself appreciate the hand grenade for its debauchery and timelessness. Don't bypass it. It's a Nola staple

Get the regular hand grenade for $5, the one in the yard dog costs more and has less product!

Do not underestimate the power of a hand grenade , trust me on this. They taste like there's hardly any liquor in it, but drink 3 and your head will not be same in the morning. Bad hangover, worth it
