Me and my friends are taking a weekend trip to Atlanta for my birthday and decided to take a train. This our first experience on an Amtrak train and we are departing out of New Orleans on the Crescent. There will be about 8 in our group and we are all in are mid 20s. The reason we decided to take the train is so we could all hang out together (instead of being split in cars) and also to drink. However I'm still uncertain about a couple of things. Does the Amtrak Crescent even have a bar? Is there an area where we can all sit around tables and play board games? or do we have to sit in our normal seats the hole time? If they do have a bar do I need cash or credit cards? Any information would be helpful.
