Bars near Elmwood

“great neighborhood bar fun place to. hang out owners are cool!“

“I wanna start by saying that I was so excited that the Mediterranean restaurant opened up near us. I live in River Ridge and we love Mediterranean food. I went to Byblos and everything was clean, the staff was amazingly friendly. Their homemade bread was to die for. The only thing I have an issue with, is their menu. They say there’s vegetarian platters however the falafel‘s are cooked in with other meat. Which definitely makes it not vegetarian at all. You cannot cook vegetarian food in with meat. It doesn’t make sense. So unfortunately there’s many things that we think we can eat there that we cat. But I will say the things that I Did eat, were spectacular. Their soups, bean dips, hummus and their pasta dishes with vegetables. They were out of this world delicious. I would give this restaurant 4 1/2 stars only because of the discrepancy with their vegetarian food. I would be willing to even buy them a fire for separate use for falafel’s lol. Anyways definitely check out this amazing restaurant! I am going back today:)“

“Worst service in my life !! I ordered two burgers and waitress brought only one .. she was trying to convince me that I ordered only one and that kitchen was already close and couldn't make another one. Manager came and literally laugh in my face saying that he believes his waitress... awful awful awful experience!!!“

“The hotel is charming, the food is great with generous portions, the carousel bar is fun and the hotel staff are amazing! Special shout out to Nolan, Nicholas, Jorge, and Sanoid ( may have missed spelled. so sorry!).I would definitely stay there again!“

“We were blown away on our first visit this morning!! Ryan is a talented mixologist in the bar creating beautiful, delicious and truly unique drinks. Our server Louis was incredibly charming and attentive, giving us excellent menu choices —as it was a hard decision. Every dish was a work of art—both in presentation and flavor. The whole experience was top-notch, and we can’t wait to come back!“

“I will always be grateful to this place. I used to work in the French Quarter and my shift would end at 3am 4am and 5am this was my safe place to go sit inside and sometimes have an Irish Coffee which is delicious by the way. They made sure I was safely in a cab or an Uber.❤️“

“A warm and friendly place for drinks and food. Great Irish coffee & Cajun eggnog! There’s a cute miniature street trolley that runs around the top of the room, to boot.“

“I went into this bar at about 1:30 a.m. because they had a good sounding band playing covers of classic rock and it looked interesting. I had two double bourbons and a Sazerac and I really don't remember the rest. I may or may not have been roofied, but fair chance I just had too many drinks.“

“Great unique cocktails, relaxed atmosphere and knowledgeable staff.“

“My favorite bar in New Orleans! Amazing staff with great service, always friendly and ready for conversation. Queer/trans-friendly. Quirky weird shit playing on the TVs. Usually late night food trucks from local vendors, including awesome yakamein, a New Orleans classic.“

“There is no place like the saddle bar in or around Nola. It’s always a blast when I go there.“

“My mom and I had an incredible stay at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel—a true gem in the heart of the French Quarter. The hotel is stunning in its historic charm, beautifully maintained, and thick in the character you come to New Orleans to experience. Its location could not have been more convenient—everything we wanted to see and do was within easy walking distance. The staff was outstanding from start to finish. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and when we had a small issue with the toilet, it was resolved quickly and kindly. Every detail was taken care of—even some we didn’t know we needed. A special thank you to David out front who went above and beyond to serve us. My mom is handicapped, and he personally managed the delivery and return of her electric wheelchair rental with patience and care. His kindness and attention meant so much to us. This hotel met every need and then some. Five stars—10/10 recommend to anyone visiting New Orleans. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“Fabulous frozen Irish Coffee and other drinks, great bartenders, chill atmosphere. Great local bar!!!“

“Amazing bar, amazing roast beef po-boys. Never miss their annual St. Patrick’s block parties. There’s usually two. For 2025, Not positive if it’s on Thursday, March the 13 or Friday the 14th, but for sure on Monday the 17th, 2025. Perhaps Admin can make a list??“

“Cozy ambience with a unique, delicious drink menu. They also offer their kitchen to local food businesses, and the Asian fusion one there when I went was phenomenal. Donavin makes a wonderful drink called “Thank You for Being a Friend” with Louisiana run, almond, passionfruit, and smoky amaro – must try! I was in town for the Home + Garden Show, and Barrel Proof was the perfect unwind!“

“Have been a Chart Room patron for many years. It's pretty much a plain ol' bar with great juke box and veteran bartenders serving typically strong and inexpensive drinks. About half locals, half out-of-town visitors, most of the out-of-towners being frequent NOLA visitors. At one time I suspected that a few of the regular characters were sent over by Central Casting, but have been going there long enough to now know they're genuine. A recent ownership change, but based on my last visit, no discernible (to me) change.“

“Amazing spot with a stellar remodel. Megan and Nikki are the best bartenders! Came on band night, and Rock N’ Soul was on fire! Daiquiris were awesome, and the new Harry Potter Butterbeer flavor is a game-changer. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“We recently hosted an after party for our wedding at the Rusty Nail and it was the perfect place for it. It's a great atmosphere and a cool space, the drinks were great, and all of our guests really enjoyed it. Ivan and his team were awesome to work with, super accommodating. All around great experience and I can definitely see this place being perfect just for a hang or with a group for drinks.“

“Fun place to drink while in NOLA.“

“We went here on 6-12-25 and had Quinn as our waiter. GREAT service, great food and he made us feel right at home. We went back on 6-13-25 hoping he’d be working and he was. We had two incredible experiences two days in a row. If you’re in the Quarter, go here and ask for Quinn!!!“

“Parkway will ALWAYS be a favorite for me and my family. We absolutely love their poboy’s. This place is #1 in our opinion ❤️“

“I live close by and have passed this place so many times on the way to work but never had the time to stop in until today cos I wanted a fun place to go to celebrate my birthday and I've never been one for the maddening crowd that goes along with the vibe that Bourbon St. has. This place is absolutely a great little gem for those who just want to relax and have a drink. The bartender is a complete sweetheart and so friendly, the drinks are very affordable AND strong and I very much enjoyed celebrating my birthday there! It's kind of like the New Orleans version of Cheers LOL I just hope at some point they will have karaoke on the weekends but I will definitely be frequenting there more often from now on.“

“We had a wonder time at the Chandelier Bar! The setting is beautiful filled with natural light. The DJ was accompanied by a live sax! I made reservations for 8 and we had a seating area reserved for us. The cocktails were fun and creative. It was a wonderful end to a special Christmas week with our children and their spouses. I highly recommend an afternoon at the Chandelier Bar!“

“Oysters and pita/crab dip were delicious! Service was a little rough. My husband got his oysters before I got my meal- he had that and his drink finished before I received my food. We tried to be patient because they were somewhat busy, but watched our server take off her apron and leave before ever coming back to our table after drop off. We had 2 other waiters and what looked like management walk by several times, and even though I tried to get their attention, never looked our way or stopped. Finally made eye contact with a gal working closer to the front who came over and was very sweet, apologizing as our waitress had just quit. She brought out my food that'd been sitting there for quite a while, so the muffalettas weren't great, coleslaw warm. She never came back or reassigned someone to us, no one checked on us for drink refills, etc. Had to flag her down to place another food and drink order, again because no one else was helping us. After that, zero service, no one stopped at our table to check on us, and nothing 'taken care of' for the mishap. We came at a time where we were able to see the end of one band and start of a new- both fantastic, so that was good. Would recommend based on food and music, maybe not so much service.“

“For a quiet afternoon or evening great place to hang out“

“Awesome jazz and funk music, no cover Fridays“

“Stopped into this little neighborhood bar and had one of the best experiences thanks to the bartender, Lorna. Not only were the drinks spot-on (perfect balance, not watered down, and served with skill), but the genuine hospitality stood out even more. She took the time to chat, give great local recommendations, and made everyone feel like a regular even if it was your first time in.“

“Pete Scherer was my great uncle. I remember when I was a little girl my great grandma (Pete's sister, Irene) and my nanny (Eileen) used to take me to the bar to see Uncle Pete every Saturday after dancing school. It really is great to see that the place he loved so much is still open. ❤“

“Holy moly……..what a place👍 Great food, great drink, great atmosphere and an even greater host. Visit…..you will not be disappointed.“

“Lives up to its name! Bartender Gavin & the regulars made us tourists feel right at home. Thanks for a fun evening!“

“Took the ferry over to Algiers on our recent New Orleans trip- planned to just wander but found this place and decided to check it out- what a treat!! We love a good “dive bar” with character and history, and this one’s got it! The service was IMPECCABLE *chefs kiss*. Our day shift bartender (I’m sorry I forgot your name!) was a great historian and she recommended some other great establishments to check out, both in Algiers and back across the river too. Algiers itself is a beautiful, peaceful, clean place, and the folks who live there and can stop by the Old Point after work are lucky!!“

“we were just passing by and needed a bite... sweet tea, fried pickles, roast beef poor boys, fries... good price, tasty, great environment, staff were good at putting up with us. highly recommend.“

“Great food and great service! The owner is very helpful. We own a small dive bar in MS and we have used many of the ideas that Cooter Browns does! This is a stop for us when we are in town.“

“You won't find a better location to hear live music in New Orleans. We were at The Soul Rebels gig last night, and the immediacy of hearing them in this intimate setting was fantastic. I will definitely be back next time I'm here!“

“The best music on frenchmen st. And the best staff.“

“Had Rollie’s hot dog, very good“

“I love Café Negril. I only did 4 stars, though, because the drinks are a bit overpriced and the bathroom could have been a bit cleaner, however.... the atmosphere is amazing, the music is great and the tacos are delicious! I will return for sure!“

“Great music and excellent food!!!“

“Fantastic place & fantastic people. The owners are so nice & friendly & Pepp, such a laid back dog. Not sure about the Malfort though.“

“Cool spot! I was disappointed they were out of the draft beer I wanted. The beignets I had here were the best I had while in NOLA.

The roof area was lackluster. The floor was a little rickety and the seating court use some love. The bar area was cool.

My wife and I found ourselves wanting to go earlier but they didn't open until 4pm. On another night we made our way up there, just to find the close at 10pm. Short range of hours.“

“Stopped infor the first time yesterday and couldn't believe what I have been missing! I had the BEST Bloody Mary I've had in years, and the frozen concoction they were serving tasted like heaven. We will definitely be making this a regular stop.“

“Had a great time there. Staff is welcoming and friendly 👍“

“This shit was smacking it was the best burger I’ve ever had im from Dallas“

“I had a great time sitting and drinking a few cocktails at this bar. Jennifer the bartender knows how make great refreshing cocktails and the building is beautiful inside.“

“Been there 2x now and both visits were excellent..The Barthenders are very friendly and make some tasty drinks! The sirloin burgers were fantastic and definitely get the fries...should be called Gourmet Fries! Last but not least is the charming dimly lit atmosphere...Very inviting and friendly.We look forward to our next visit ⚜️⚜️⚜️“

“Stopped in for lunch at Lucy’s and was blown away by one of the best po’ boys I’ve had in New Orleans. The shrimp were fresh, perfectly seasoned, and fried to golden perfection. The bread? Absolutely spot-on—light, flaky, and just the right chew. Paired with crispy fries, it made for a perfect meal.

Shoutout to Jerry, our server, who was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Great food, great service, great vibes. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Excellent beer prices and the food is delicious! This is my go-to casual hang out spot in the warehouse district“

“The best dive bar I've ever visited! A real New Orleans local spot that's such a hidden gem. Inside, lit by some Christmas lights and sometimes accompanied by some gorgeous dogs and outside feels like a total house party. A place where everyone comes together. Cheapest drinks in the world too and the kindest staff. Can't wait to come back one day.“

“We found this bar by chance while seeking shelter from the rain. It has a quirky theme centered around toilets, which adds a fun touch. Keep in mind, they only accept cash. The drinks here are big and pack a punch, starting at around $6 for basic options. Expect to mingle with a local crowd.“
