A tipster tells Swamplot that the former Broken Spoke Cafe at 1809 Washington will soon be home to a new bar called the Caddy Shack. The cafe, located between Silver and Sabine in the Old Sixth Ward, closed last fall — and, unfortunately, soon after received the brunt of a fire that destroyed a vacant duplex next door.

Um, that building looks like a piece of crap.
what a beautiful remodeling job. Looks like
they hired that designer from Home Depot.
and while I’m at it, I’m tired of these
young bucs “and we did all the build-out
and design ourselves” . . . just gaze at the
rooftop AC units at Haymaker/Underbelly.
Still puzzling over the name. No golf course nearby; a place to store your large American luxury car? Ironic homage to a beloved Rodney Dangerfield film?
