About The Po'Boy Shop & Basement Bar

The Po'Boy Shop & Basement Bar captures the spirit of New Orleans with an authentic vibe and friendly staff. It is a great spot for late-night snacks and features a lively yet cozy basement space that feels like a hidden speakeasy. The basement is decorated with a Mardi Gras theme, creating a festive atmosphere with TVs for sports, trivia nights, and live music. Customers enjoy sitting at the bar, watching live feeds from Bourbon street, and experiencing the fun environment.

The bar offers a selection of better beers, and cocktails like the 22oz Hurricane are praised for their taste and strength, though some other cocktails may be less impressive. The menu includes popular items such as Gator bites, Po'boys, and fried pickles. While Gator bites have received mixed reviews for being a bit chewy and fried too hard, the boudin balls are considered very good. Po'boy options include a fried vegetarian Po'boy and a blackened catfish Po'boy, both appreciated for their size and flavor. Some dishes, like crawfish pies, could use a bit more flavor, but overall, the food is flavorful and reliable.

The place has earned praise for its exceptional service, especially during busy times when staff are attentive and friendly. Many customers mention how the vibe and atmosphere make it a special spot, with some calling it a “hidden gem” or “hidden diamond” that should not be missed. The owner has transformed what was once a dark basement into a lively night spot that expands the experience beyond just great food. Despite limited seating during peak hours, visitors consistently enjoy the fun environment, excellent food, and welcoming staff.

I was in Atlanta for work this week and was bringing in different teams to the area. Over the course of 6 days we visited 7 times. Mornings were for the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had (and all of our teams agreed)…and the evenings for dinner, drinks, and a great time! Every one of our team members loved it! Food was great, service was great, atmosphere was great! Thanks for letting me become a regular in those few short days. I’ll be back every time I’m in the Atlanta...read full review
The best Nola joint in Atlanta! Amazing food and great service!!! Can’t recommend it enough!!!!
I normally get Togo orders when I come here however this Saturday we decided to bring a friend and sit down and eat as a thank you to him for helping us move into our home. This was his first time coming. I will say he was extremely satisfied and said he will definitely be returning. I on the other hand, did not have an enjoyable experience. I do understand that Saturday was extremely busy so I was trying to give our server some grace. We saw her a total of 3 times . When she...read full review
