50 Best 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:)“

“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!“

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

“Totally amazing in every way highly recommend. One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The room was cosy quiet despite being in the French Quarter. The luxury was in the detail and the highly professional staff at every level.“

“Visiting New Orleans from Pennsylvania over the Fourth of July, we asked a few locals near our hotel where we could find a true neighborhood dive bar. Every road seemed to lead to Erin Rose, and they absolutely nailed it.

This place has everything you want in a dive bar—cold drinks, zero pretentiousness, and a crowd that makes you at home. The bartenders were the real stars of the show. Super engaging, quick with a drink, and happy to chat. We ended up getting a fun history lesson on Vodoo and she made the experience even more memorable.

The biggest surprise? There's an incredible po'boy spot tucked in the back, so you can grab tasty sandwich a few steps from your barstool.

If you're looking to skip the tourist traps and experience a genuine New Orleans neighborhood bar, this is the spot. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.“

“The best music, friendly staff, small venue. Truly a gem. Can’t wait to get back to the spotted cat!“

“I'm hooked. One day I drove by and changed my usual to the Spicy Mango and I have been hooked every since. I few more dollars than the rest but it is sooooo good. What's really nice, Everyone Knows Your Name (LOL) and they know what I like and how I like it mixed. I've tried every daiquiri shop from west end and vets down to Williams and they are the best.,“

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

“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.“

“We paused for a drink after dinner and I am delighted that we chose this establishment. Tristan and Chelsea provided exceptional service. Tristan crafted an outstanding habanero margarita, one of the finest I have ever had. My mother, aunt, and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit. I will certainly return. I recommend you try for yourself! They were extremely welcoming and friendly!! And Man can Tristan make a mean margarita!!“

“Loved this place! Fun atmosphere, great festive drinks, and beautiful decor! Will definitely be back! ❤️💚❤️“

“I had an absolutely fantastic experience! The atmosphere, and staff especially Darin were welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was perfect. I highly recommend the drinkery and will be definitely returning!!!! Thank you Darin you are amazing.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 music and excellent food!!!“

“I ordered the pulled pork Poboy They should put the bread in a separate plate because when you go to pick that thing up, it’s so full half of it slides out it is that delicious“

“We loved our stay and we have stayed in NoLa many times this is our favorite spot old charm meets spacious rooms and modern amenities. Room was nice with seating and bathroom was lovely. My only complaint was the hot water took awhile to heat up and the phone in the room was broken other than that a perfect stay. The employees were so friendly and offered great food and activity suggestions. Great location close to everything to walk easy to or Uber out but still quiet. Highly recommend!!!“

“Awesome jazz and funk music, no cover Fridays“

“One of our new favorite places! Close to home and within walking distance between warehouse district, dt, & cod neighborhoods. Their menu selection is amazing, with wide selection of ciders, beers, & bourbon, & pretty much any cocktail you can think of at also some pretty affordable prices. Turns out the food can be ordered through their neighboring venue, the Sidecar, which looks delicious and we cant wait to try it out...! Many youth and people were dining and having a great time which set the tone for the place :) We met a few of the bartenders, including Lee, who were really welcoming too. My boyfriend had some cognac and I had a coffee cocktail.
Let me know what you think of it!“

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

“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.“

“Chandelier Bar is truly one of my favorite places in New Orleans. The atmosphere is warm, elegant, and unforgettable from the moment you walk in. The drinks are amazing, the aesthetics are beautiful, and the entire experience always feels special. But honestly, Travis is what makes this place exceptional. People come back because of him. His energy, hospitality, and presence completely elevate the bar experience. This place is the definition of excellence, and hiring Travis was one of the best things this establishment could have done.“

“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.“

“Great Location on Corner. Great Service. Great Food. Patio Seating Available. Spacious Place. Good Ambiance.Even the Restrooms were top notch.“

“Bartenders are phenomenal!!“

“well I stumbled across this bar last week, was so well looked after by KC and the rest of the girls there. They have adopted me staff and guests, feel that I have a local here in New Orleans. Love drinking with local people wherever I am in the world!“

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

“We loved this spot on our vacation! Pizza, atmosphere, drinks were all great! The best part...BRYCE! ❤ He was awesome with us and everyone who walked through the door! Jeff and Jamie from Michigan wish you the best! Highly recommend stopping in for a cold beverage and pizza!!“

“Amazing place for every occasion, I had my prom dinner, my staff meetings and mothers day celebrations all at this place. An amazing space for all ages and even more amazing staff, also ALL GLUTEN FREE, including the drinks which is my favorite par as an allergy girlie myself.“

“I got a haircut here. Yes that’s right I got a haircut at the bar! They did a fantastic job. Always good atmosphere and ice cold beers. Awesome friendly staff. Love it here“

“they don't serve food, so much fun and history“

“It's the Algiers Point "Cheers"! Just a wonderful place "where everybody knows your name and they're always glad you came!". ( And if you're new here, they will make you feel welcomed and they will " know your name" before you leave!) Amazing drink prices and a fabulous selection of beers on tap! Not to mention, the live music is awesome!!!! 👏“

“Hubs and I went in 2x yesterday. We had (hopefully spelling right) Ulysses during the day. Super helpfull on where to go while out exploring. Beer was cold service was friendly. Our 2nd stop in broght us to Courtney. Again friendly and attentive. 10/10 recommend.“

“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!!!“

“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. ❤“

“Go spend the day at the WW2 Museum and then go to Rosie's Roof Top Bar across the street at the Higgins Hotel.
Okay here we go... Food was good and the view was great. They just needed a little more staff for the busy time.
We started with the loaded fries, moved on to Cajun Shrimp Tacos. Happy Hour five dollar beer and wine.
P.S. great place to unwind.“

“Love this neighborhood corner 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.“

“Most fun bar on Bourbon St!“

“We were in town to watch the Ohio state football game. We went to Mannings. Obnoxiously loud. Not cooperative. Walked across the street. They went above and beyond to make sure we not only have the game but we have our own TV to watch the game. Thank you very much. Highly recommend.“

“Food was excellent.high level of cookery. Better than most of the James beard nominated restaurants around town.“

“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.“

“Get yourselves uptown, and visit the Maple Leaf, great ambiance and easy going down to earth people. Great bands, lovely outdoor sitting area! "Come on uptown! " I would give it 5 stars!!!“

“Visit once and came back like I left something !!!“

“Best vibe in the city, I live in MS, nothing like it here!“

“Great bar with wonderful employees. Everyone makes you feel right at home. Karaoke several nights a week. Dart, pool and food. Owner is very friendly. Reasonable drink prices and nightly specials.“

“Hand grenades hand grenades hand grenades!!“
